BackerKit Pledge Manager Updates
Hey team,
It looks like BackerKit makes us wait 14 days to send surveys. I think that's probably to make sure that funds have been dispersed before allowing reward distribut...

Bookmark Stretch Goal Met
Hey Vamps,
As long as we keep everyone moving into the day we will have a bookmark expansion stretch goal!
That's super awesome and I'm excited to have you all on board an...
Firstly, I apologies for the 9 day wait in between updates. Things have been very difficult for me in my day job life the last few weeks and time is very weird for me.
Shipping Costs - a backer alerted me to the fact that BackerKit charges 50 cents minimum for any charge... which doesn't go to me it goes to them. So, I am sorry for snafus with shipping costs. I have a request out to fix that and refund folks if we can. If not, I will find some other way to offset the 50 cents if I can.
That being said, I have set things so that those who have finished their surveys will get the PDF after things are locked, which should be in the next 48 hours automatically. I still have to send a bunch of stuff to people who backed various add-ons and I will be working on that.
Once I get more of the surveys I will lockdown the copies of the game I am going to print and get them printed.
Stickers for those who backed multiple projects are in!
Thanks everyone for helping this campaign succeed!
Wanted to give an update on where things stand. We lost 7 backers between the campaign and charging cards... which is pretty big for a small campaign like this. I have created the bookmark stretch goal anyway, but I'm going to have to see if I can still afford to print it with the reduction in funds raised. I think we can and I'll make sure everyone gets the pdf anyway, but that is kind of disappointing.
I just ordered the stickers that backers from this campaign and our partner campaign get. Those were right on target cost wise, so no concerns there.
I am also waiting to get full approval to send surveys. I have to say, the backend of this platform is not intuitive, its not super user friendly and while it offers a lot of tools, they are kind of a pain to use. So, I am hoping I have everything setup correctly and they will finally approve us collecting your details and sending you your stuff. I am also trying to have a short period of time for late pledges, in case you want to try and invite a friend or two to pick up the game.
As mentioned before, the preview page for May I Enter: A Vampire Game is up. Backers of this campaign will receive a $10 discount on the core book pledge level as a thank you for helping get this game going.
It looks like BackerKit makes us wait 14 days to send surveys. I think that's probably to make sure that funds have been dispersed before allowing reward distribution. That does make sense.
When we can though, I will be releasing the pledge manager as quickly as I can. I will be sending you surveys right away and I will fulfill the PDF and the bookmark PDF as quickly as I can, hopefully that day.
Please answer your survey as quickly as you can! It will help us both out if you do.
