We did it! We figured out the Pledge Manager! And we've been approved to send out our Smoke Test, this will take a lucky 5% of you to receive the survey at an earlier date, this is to reveal any issues with the surveys, you can contact us through whichever way you want, but you can also contact BackerKit Support, we are all able to help you out and if BK Support can't handle something, they'll send it our way!

After the smoke test is done, the rest of the surveys will go through (after ironing out any kinks if needed), so the sooner the smoke test gets replies, the sooner the rest will receive theirs!

Shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date!

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.

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 don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon 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 once we have the best estimates for everyone. We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping a month or two before fulfillment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backers 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://the-iron-hive-a-space-station-setting-for-mothership-rpg.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://the-iron-hive-a-space-station-setting-for-mothership-rpg.backerkit.com/faq

After surveys are sent, if you did not receive the email, and you Signed in with Apple ID, your email address might be a private relay email address. We can help locate your survey and update your email address, please message us or post a comment with your Backer ID or Pledge # found on your confirmation. You can learn more about your email hiding for your Apple ID here.

Small update!

The surveys have been figured out! Everything is set, questions will be asked, and shipping is going to be charged later, so you won't have to worry about that just yet! You'll have a chance to add addons, upgrade your pledge and all of that. HOWEVER, before everyone gets it, 5% of you will get it, and that's what the smoke test is about, to confirm everything's fine and working before sending it to everyone, they'll be going out around Sunday-Monday 

Sharing this for transparency's sake and to celebrate, I've found a banking solution that wants my money, the money made it from Wise to them, and is making its way to Colombia (international wire takes a bit), it was a small test before doing it with a substantial amount, but it's progress nonetheless!

Happy holidays everyone! This is our first ever update! ♥

First and foremost: I (abrah) finally moved, that whole process was a nightmare and I'm so glad I finally found a place, for the past 2 weeks I've been unpacking, painting, fixing, setting up stuff, so if you thought I was resting from the campaign, let me tell you something: I don't know how to stay still, so no, just this weekend I finally took some time to sit down and do something fun for myself (painting minis) (@_wicked_oni_art on ig if you're curious).

Why can't we just have money and transfer it around without issues? WHY!? Funds rolled in this past Wednesday, we are using Wise to get the money from Stripe, and we were hoping to just wire transfer it to Colombia, however, Wire Transfers using Wise balance are turned off for Colombia! How fun, so we contacted support to better understand the situation, we may need to open another bank account to transfer there and then back to us, what a mess.

What does this do to our current timeline? Nothing. Well yeah we can't pay the artists their cut just yet, but we'll figure it out, at least we have the money somewhere, even if it feels like it's inside a crystal box and we can just admire it and not touch it or use it, luckily big boy production money is not needed immediately so we can make do right now.

This is the current thing we are setting up, we were talking with BK and looking into the "Charge Shipping Later" option, since we want to give you an accurate price and not just an estimate on that, BK already replied and we will be going through that setup and send them as soon as we can! There's some info we need from some of you (names from HiveCorp Industries Representatives and general contact info from Iron Hive Meisters) so it's important to us that these go out asap!

As stated on the campaign story, the PDF should be going out "Early Q1", we are aiming for somewhere between the last week of Jan to the first of Feb. By then we will have figured out the surveys.

Some of you already figured that out, but if you missed the campaign, there's still chance to get it! Just go to the campaign itself and click on this, it'll take you to the Pre-Order Store!

I (abrah) haven't had time to set this up properly (I actually ended up doing a lot of that setup while writing this) but I already have some content planned for the newsletter, Encounters with the unknown, reports for new horrors, little short stories to use as a seeds for you to include new fun stuff for your players! Heavily inspired in the way Unconfirmed Contact Reports is presented.

For the time being, you can subscribe to it right now! There are no plans on spamming anyone with 5 posts per week, or making super long posts (yet), my goal is to have something you can open and read right away without feeling you have to sit down and make time to read. Encounters with the unknown will most likely be a future content so take this opportunity to get an early look at what the horrors will be!

GGWP! Thank you to every single one of you, from the Offerings to The Temple backers, to the 5 INCREDIBLE people that backed at Iron Hive Meister level, every pledge matters so much, thank you for taking an interest on The Iron Hive and believing, we love that there are almost 700 of you looking to tell stories within the halls, depths, mines, and markets within this space station.

Sharing this SICK closing video from Alewood Games, I alone have watched it around 15 times since yesterday https://youtu.be/ZXbwKAJgyw8

Well, I need to move, and that'll happen within the next few weeks, HOWEVER, the preorder store and pledge manager are going to be set up asap, we need to look into surveys for a bit, we need names thrown our way from HiveCorp Industries Representative backers and the sooner we get them the better.

Digital Early Access to the PDF will go in January-February along with the helper sheets, since we can't wait to get this into your hands, Abrah will be holding meetings with the artists responsible for the Ruzt Ratz catalogue and comic book during december and get those balls rolling right away (that'll be once funds get transferred + moving to the new place)

Speaking of funds, if you only funded this project you had a nice pleasant 24h, if you backed as we did, your bank is probably now aware of what BackerKit is and might've worried for a bit.

Everyone has been charged, some of your transactions failed, worry not, this is normal, even some of us had declined transactions for no apparent reason, go double check your credit card's info and let it try again, you have time to fix these.

Yes, at least once a month

↓ Apparently achievements don't die once the campaign ends ↓

As many of you know, we are and have been in overtime since Tuesday, this is going until we break the previous record (47.6h), if we break it, TKG is going to give every backer a free pdf adventure! (Sean McCoy announced it on the MoSh discord)

Be sure you get everything you wanted from this and other campaigns, it’s gonna be over when it hits 48h so it’s not going to go forever, lock in your pledges! The timer refreshes when someone changes pledge tier so make sure you leave it on the level you want!

Can we get to 13k? Maybe, there’s nothing to it, so if you’d rather back another project that is close to an achievement go for that one! I’ll be upgrading the sector sheet to add a black market contract tracker, a surprise hidden achievement of sorts to celebrate this backer train going for this long 

I’ll set this up as soon as I can (and figure it out), I finally have a place where to move so I’ll be juggling those things at once, no biggie (I hope)
