Any Missing PDFs?

PDF Downloads

Hey all! As of our last update, the PDF files went out to backers. Many of you have downloaded the PDF files from DriveThruRPG, but we saw a number of people either didn't get the PDF download links, or were having issues finding them. Some reached out via private message, some posted in the comments, and some posted on the last update. 

IF YOU ARE MISSING YOUR PDFS: Please reach out via message or comment on this project and we'll get those sent out to you as soon as possible. 

Production Continues

Production continues moving forward. Two of the books are done and waiting in the warehouse and the third is in the printing queue. This is the place where we don't really have visibility. We're working weekly to make sure that is advancing, but there may be a second printer brought on for a short run to complete the production in a more timely manner if the queue dosn't advance more quickly. We'll keep everyone updated as that moves forward. 

The sticker packs have all been ordered and we should have a production sample to share very soon. As someone who has "collected" stickers for years and only recently began actually putting them on things, I'm personally really excited to get these out. 

PDF TIME!!!

Hey All! You may have seen today that the PDF copies have gone out according to our first export. Once the BackerKit export is available, we'll send the files to anyone that was missed. We had some issues getting some information from our fulfillment service so I could make some modifications to the pledge manager requested by BackerKit, but those have been fixed and the smoke test should be going out once validated by their staff. Thank you all again for your patience. Once we have samples, proofs, etc from the printer we'll be sure to share those as well. 

Wet Ink Games will be at the GAMA Expo in Louisville KY this week (it only makes sense since it's our own stomping ground), so if you happen to be there, please swing by and say hi! We'd love to see you. 

Sorry for the delay!

Hey all! I'm sorry for the delay in getting the BackerKit out and digital copies to everyone. Both the BackerKit and the first wave of digital files should go out this coming week. I'll be using the Kickstarter email export for the first wave, and then I'll be using the Backerkit export for the second wave. Any one off adjustments that need to be made will also be handled then. 

In good news, the books are at the printer and they're putting the print run in queue. We'll be keeping you all in the loop with printer proofs, shipment schedule and everything as we get that info. 

THANK YOU!!! (and Next Steps)

WOW!!! You all blew us away with your tremendous support for this project. We're so excited to get this back in print and into your hands. We want to make sure you all know the next few steps in the project so we can keep things moving at a good pace.

1. Make sure your payment information is correct. Kickstarter will try for 10 days or so, but having that correct will make things go smoothly at each step.

2. There will be a brief Kickstarter Backer Survey soon where you can put the email you want PDFs sent to. We deliver PDFs through DriveThru RPG so if you have an account there, it would be whatever email is associated with that account. If you don't have one, you will be directed to create one. (NOTE: This is different than the full pledge manager. We found that some users who use apple pay or other methods have their delivery email obscured in the normal fulfillment files, so this eliminates that issue)

3. Once we have payments and the survey results we will send all the PDFs to everyone eligible to receive them. We're hoping to be fully done with this step before the end of the year. 

4. During this time we plan to have the BackerKit pledge manager built and complete. We'll then get those surveys out so we can get final reward counts, delivery addresses etc.

5. The print files are already with the printer, so once we decide on a total print run, we'll be good to tell them to start working!

Thank you again for all of your help making this a huge success. 

Special Thanks, a "How-To" and DECAL ADD-ON!!!

Hey all! We're back from Pax Unplugged where we got to see so many excellent creators, and had a great time with Charlie and Alex. It's always good to see them and catch up, and we wanted to take a moment to express our thanks to you!

I tried to get a video with Charlie, but apparently it didn't save. Instead I got this, which might be my favorite picture ever.

However, Charlie took some time last week to make this great tutorial video for using this book to make a city which is relevant to all backers. Take a look!

Finally, we had multiple people asking about an add-on for decals. We've created an add-on for a sticker pack with 4 vinyl stickers: The Into the Cess and Citadel logo, the Dire Pigeon, the Into the Wyrd and Wild logo, and our The Woods Do Not Care For You decal. These are heavy duty vinyl decals and you can get the pack for $12.
