Survey have been sent
Hi all!
I sent out a smoke test of the surveys and went well. So I've sent the remainder of the survey's out today. I need to get an accurate count for how many playmats to orde...
If you paid for shipping, you should receive an email this week with a tracking number. I'm hoping to get all the packages out before the Thanksgiving holiday (USA) on Thursday. However, there may be a few that don't ship until Friday.
If you chose local pickup, I have great news. We have a date and time for our launch party! We'll be at the Adventurer's Guild on Saturday, December 7 from noon until 3:00 pm (see below for the details). If you can't make that date, I'll also be there the following Tuesday for their game day, December 10.
We will also be having a second launch party at The Portal in Bethlehem, PA with a date to be determined (probably January or February).
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for following me across the finish line! - Manda
🎉 The Establishment: Launch Party & Game Pickup! 🎉 📅 Date: Saturday, December 7, 2024 🕔 Time: 12:00 am - 3:00 pm 📍 Location: The Adventurer's Guild 1010 Wesley Dr STE 111, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Backers, allies, and curious schemers, the wait is finally over! Join us at The Adventurer’s Guild to celebrate the launch of The Establishment: Inner Workings of a Secret Cabal. Whether you’ve been plotting strategies since the campaign or you’re new to the game’s web of influence, this night promises intrigue, alliances, and plenty of surprises.
✨ What’s Happening?
Game Pick-Up: Be among the first to get your hands on your very own copy. If you backed it, you can pick up your game. If not, you can purchase from the Adventurer's Guild.
Meet the Designer: Chat with the mind behind the game and uncover some of the inspiration behind the factions and stories!
Vote & Play: Cast your vote on a key storyline card and see which path the crowd chooses—will your choice align with the winning side? We’ll also be running quick demos and walkthroughs of how to play the game, so you can get a feel for the strategy, intrigue, and influence of The Establishment!
Don’t miss your chance to step into a world of political intrigue, daring gambles, and interplanetary drama. It’s all about who you know—and how you play the game.
Mark your calendars, assemble your faction, and let the games begin!
I just got off the phone with the trucking company, and they will be delivering tomorrow! That's a little sooner than I expected.
The next step for anyone getting their game shipped is that you need to confirm your address. I'll be locking those this afternoon. Please check that your address is correct so that I can begin to ship them out.
We did have a few credit cards fail to go through for the shipping. You should have received a notification. If so, please make sure your credit card on file is up to date. This happens a lot because the amount of times folks have to get new credit cards due to fraud or losing them. Please check to see if your card failed, and get the new information in. Once that's done, I can mail it to you.
I'll be in touch with Adventurer's Guild to talk about a release party and will let you know as soon as possible when we land on a date.
Thank you everyone for all your support. I can't believe we're at the tail end of it!! - Manda
Hi all- I've officially gotten notice that the shipment has cleared customs and the train has arrived in Cleveland. Now we are just waiting for it to get on a truck so that it can be shipped to our distribution point. Once it arrives, we can start shipping to backers. It should be less than a couple weeks now.
Just a quick word on how the survey and charging for shipping worked. You filled out the survey a few weeks ago and entered your credit card info (if you had to pay for shipping). However, your credit cards were not charged yet. Backerkit recommends waiting until you're about 30 days out from shipping before charging. So I will be charging the credit cards and last of the orders today. If you paid for shipping, your credit card will be charged now for those costs.
I am still working on getting a date for a local pick up. Since it's going to be so close to Thanksgiving, I need to be a little flexible. Also, without a confirmed delivery date, I don't' want to set something for a release party that might have to get rescheduled again. Once its on the truck and I have an estimated arrival date, I'll feel more secure setting that up.
I was going to title this update with something like "Good news, but bad news" however I figure I wouldn't bury the lead. The playmats have arrived and look really good! They are edge stitched so the quality is nice and the artwork looks vibrant. I'm very happy with them overall.
Unfortunately I also received word that the shipping is slightly delayed and now we are looking more at a December 2 arrival date. I'm waiting on more official tracking information. This still means I should be able to get it to most people before the holidays at the end of the month. Any further delays could jeopardize this goal though. Too bad we can't send in some influencers to get things moving quicker!
If you paid for shipping, your credit cards will be charged soon. Backerkit suggests that you do not charge any sooner than 30 days out. So I'll be looking at finalizing that next week as soon as I get concrete shipping tracking information.
If you did not buy a game mat, but would like to please reach out to me.
