Project Update: Gen Con; Shipping Complete(?) & What's Next For Hexploration Decks?
Gen Con was a great success! It is always fun to talk with folks excited about the stuff we make--and get more ideas and encouragement!
So except for any mistakes and oversights, we've finished shipping to all backers. Many/most of you have your decks or have gotten a shipping notification or an emailed question about shipping. If you haven't and you think you should, please email [email protected] first--for some very dumb reason Backerkit doesn't email me about posts by backers here until the next day, if at all.
Last night I sent the print-on-demand codes to anyone who backed for the PDF, but didn't get the printed deck in case you'd like to get them from DriveThru's print on demand service. Aside from shipping (which I can't control) the codes are designed to get you the decks for approximately the same cost as if you backed the crowdfunding for the printed decks.
Sending those PoD codes allowed me to mark most of the remaining orders 'shipped', which made it easier to find the last of the physical orders. I didn't see before Gen Con that there were about 20 left. Sorry! They've all been sent today (except for 3 where I emailed questions.)
What's Next? Two new potential Hexploration Decks: Along the Way & Strongholds!
Click the link to 'follow' and help our planning to let us know you're interested. We're going to try this back on Kickstarter... sort of in case we missed some folks who didn't join us over here on BackerKit. (Good to keep our options open.)
Along the Way will cover roadside attractions as well as oddness on roads and trails themselves. Strongholds will be all about Forts, Castles, Manors, and even more unusual defensive structures.
And there will be a few other surprises related to the new project. We expect to launch it in the first half of September. We'll have a delivery estimate before the launch--but they will almost surely be sent this year.
I've got two polls... the first is an official BackerKit poll asking about the mix of cards in each deck. That should be linked to this message.
And this poll might be super granular, but I'd love to hear which of the last 5 cards in each deck you think are particularly cool/useful.
Happy Gaming!
