All backer orders and pre-orders are 100% fulfilled 🏆
If you pre-ordered after December 4th, your orders are coming up next as we are still selling and shipping our VERY LIMITED stock of "First Printing" copies now. But when they're gone, they're gone folks 👋
Also, we just added in some excess stock of limited items such as the Dice Tray & D20 Combo, Dice Bag & Skull Inclusion D4 Combo, Reaper Miniature, Demon Hand Miniature, Froglor Patch, and Sticker Sheet.
Huge shout out to our original backers for being an amazingly kind, patient, and supporting group of people ✨ Seeing how much you all love Realm Runners over the past few weeks has been so heart warming.
When you all get your game and play, free to snap a pic and tag us on Instagram at @theartofskinnerand @jasonfuriealong with the hashtag #realmrunners ❤️
Lastly, we have about 200 backer surveys that are incomplete! Please get those filled out before your original purchase becomes a donation to the time gods 🔥
If you HAVE NOT ordered a copy yet, now's the time! We will be shipping until about December 20th, and then resume again in the new year until stock runs out 📦
Just wanted to check in to say everything is moving along nicely. We started shipping out our 300+ international orders last week since those prices are fluctuating the most. Now that those are almost all complete, we are going to move on to our USA orders.
Once our fulfillment partners officially print your shipping label, you will receive an email with your tracking information. Please be patient here as we have 1800+ orders to go out over the coming weeks. We will be getting through each order and sending out tracking info as fast as we can.
And if you are one of the 320 backers who still need to fill out your survey, please, for the love of Froglor's tadpole spawn, get to it already before your pledge turns into a big old stinky donation to us 🐸
That said, the good news is some of you already got your package ✨
Feel free to snap a pic when you get yours and tag us on Instagram at @theartofskinnerand @jasonfuriealong with the hashtag #realmrunners ❤️
We are overjoyed to be at this final step, and as always, we're forever grateful for you support, and continued patience. We may be a little bias here, but we think this game will be well worth the wait.
📦 Realm Runners is here! Shipping Starts Next Week!
REALM RUNNERS HAS ARRIVED 🍾
After a long boat ride from China, Realm Runners has arrived safe and sound at our Oakland, CA fulfillment center! This is a really big day for us all and we are reminded of how grateful we are to have such a rad, patient, and supportive community here. We rode this rollercoaster together and now the fun can truly begin! You are going to love this game ❤️
We are planning to start shipping to all backers next week. Here's a brief rundown of how the next steps will unfold.
Everyone who completed their backer survey will get their games first. We still need 356 of you to complete your backer survey! If that's you, please do it right now 🙏
Very soon we will send out a final notice to edit your shipping details along with a 48 hour notice to edit your payment info before we charge shipping. This will all happen this week.
Once shipping is paid, you are 100% golden and we will process and ship your order.
Lastly, while it may not appear super exciting, I wanted to share some pictures of the drop-off today to commemorate this occasion:
So there ya have it folks! Be on the lookout for the final notice with shipping info and then we begin shipping these bad boyz out to you all! We will come back with more pics from the warehouse soon.
If any non-backers wanted to sneak in an order, the PRE-ORDER STORE is still open with a little bundle deal. Quantities are very limited.
Huge thanks to everyone who filled out their Realm Runners survey on time BUT there are still around 500 backers who have not completed their survey yet! If that is you, please fill it out right now so we can get you your game soon 😅🙏
We are going to LOCK YOUR SURVEY (including your optional Add-On choices) and CHARGE CARDS (only for the Add-ons and Tariff surcharge now) on Wednesday, September 3rd. We will be charging shipping fees separately in a few weeks.
NOTE:You will still be able to edit your address info but nothing else past this point. We will lock in address info in a few weeks once the game is here.
Also, if you were a Late Pledge Backer (people who pledged AFTER the campaign, which is about 100 of you) you only reserved access to special bundles and discounted prices. You must complete your survey NOW to lock in those prices and bundles. All unconfirmed pledges will likely be canceled next week if we don't hear from you. Once canceled, the only way to get a game will be to Pre-Order our limited bundle.
NOTE:After September 3, all surveys submitted late (along with new Pre-Orders) will be locked and charged right away. BUT you will get your games at a later date than everyone else who completed surveys on time.
We're also going to extend Pre-Orders a little bit longer until the game hits our USA warehouse! So if you have followed this project and want a copy, please head to the REALM RUNNERS PRE-ORDER SHOP NOW and get a copy while supplies last! This is currently the only way to reserve a copy if you didn't pledge or late pledge.
The great news is Realm Runners is on a boat (yes that exact boat pictured above) and we've been tracking it's journey. It is currently set to arrive at our warehouse on Friday, September 19th ❤️ Literally smooth sailing at the moment.
Once Realm Runners arrives at our warehouse we are prepared to start shipping just a few days after. This is when we will lock your address and charge final shipping. The only thing left will be for you to open the box and play the game!
TL;DR
If you are 1 of 500 who didn't complete your backer survey, do that now please.
If you "Late Pledged" complete your survey now, or we will likely cancel your order.
All completed orders are locking and being charged on Wednesday, September 3.
Shipping is being charged separately in a few weeks.
Your REALM RUNNERS BACKERKIT SURVEY is due by TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND to guarantee your copy of the game goes out in our first wave of shipping. No exceptions.
Please check your email and fill out your survey now to avoid delays. 1200 of you already did this (thank you!), but we are still waiting on the remaining 600+ 🙏
We just got word that Realm Runners is officially on a boat and about to head our way with an estimated delivery date to our Oakland warehouse by September 19th.
Once we get the games, we plan to charge shipping (to all backers who completed the survey only), pack them up, and get them to you as fast as we can! Only those who fill out the survey by TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND will be a part of this wave of shipping.
For more information and instructions please read our last update 📦
Exciting times, let's keep this party moving forward!
Jason Furie & Skinner ✌️
PS Great seeing so many of you at Cape & Cowl Con over the weekend! Good times!
The time we've all be waiting for is here — Backer Surveys are going out now ✨ It's a lot of information so please read thoroughly!
Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s essential to respond to your survey as quickly as possible since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
Please complete your survey by no later than TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER 2ND as we will be locking all orders then and charging cards.
You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the survey invite email, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You may not have access to this survey link just yet, but it will be available soon (today/tomorrow) via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
Due to the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date(EST October 2025). We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping a few weeks before final fulfillment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backer rewards. We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalized & before we charge your cards in your BackerKit survey. We will keep you informed all along the way!
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://realm-runners.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your crowdfunding account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address associated with your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at: https://realm-runners.backerkit.com/faq
TL;DR for folks who know the drill
Surveys are going out starting today, but some may get it tomorrow
Surveys are due no later than Tuesday, September 2. Fill it out ASAP!
In the survey you are providing current shipping information, paying for (optional) Add-Ons, and paying the minimal tariff surcharge ($6) required to get the games to the USA.
We will be charging shipping at a later date to ensure best rates for all (EST October 2025)
You can edit your Add-Ons order until we lock surveys on September 2
You can edit your shipping information until we lock addresses (likely in October)
A few notes I'd like to highlight —
We are so very thankful to our backer community here. You have all been so kind and patient throughout this whole process. We made this game for YOU and we are so thrilled to move forward and get this game closer to your table.
While the recent 90-day extension for the 30% tariff from China >> USA has allowed us to move forward at this moment, it's still 30% we (and you) never planned on. This is extremely harmful to small and indie businesses like us as well as consumers like you. I appreciate you understanding the additional freight/shipping/fulfillment cost we've had to cover. We did our very best to get this game to you ASAP under the circumstances.
Each game ordered will have a tariff surcharge of only $6 — we are still covering a large portion of tariff and shipping fees on our end (mainly since we have so many excess copies) but this surcharge was a necessity to get the game into the USA. Again, thanks for understanding.
Everyone who pledged during the live project is getting this game cheaper than anyone in the world. You're also likely getting a handful of limited freebies since we offered quite a bit. And lastly all copies of this run (3000) will have "First Printing" printed on the box (for all you collectors!).
One last favor that is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL ❤️ If you have the means to Add-On extra items and/or Add-On a designated amount ($5 - $100+) to the "Tip Chest" it will goto offsetting our astronomical tariff and freight charges due to the current circumstances. We are happy to cover any excess costs to get the game here, but any amount you Add-On will be so very helpful to us. If not, 100% understandable ✌️
If anyone has any questions for us specifically, please comment on this post as we will be monitoring it closely over the next few weeks. Otherwise the BackerKit team is equipped to help with technical help via their designated channels (please use them if needed!).
Note: If you are reading this and DID NOT PLEDGE DURING THE LIVE PROJECT you can Pre-order a custom bundle via our recently opened Realm Runners Pre-Order Store(this is ONLY for people that DID NOT pledge already and will NOT get a survey)
And to end on a positive note: We got to play the first ever mass produced copy of Realm Runners at Gen Con 2025 and it was such a blast. The game turned out better than ever imagined, and we are so very proud of this project.
