Into the Cess and Citadel

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.

PaxU and Project We Love! and Sticker Add-On coming

Pax Unplugged

Hey all! Wow!!! You all continue to exceed expectations, and this project continues to grow. We've been watching it as we've been prepping for Pax Unplugged in Philadelphia. We're leaving today to make our way up there where we will get to see creators Charles Ferguson-Avery and Alex Coggon. We're trying to schedule a time where we can get a quick recording in with them which we'll post here. If you're heading up to the con, please stop by the Wet Ink Games booth (3946).

Project We Love!

Into the Cess and Citadel has been selected as a Kickstarter "Project We Love!" and we're so stoked to be among such awesome and talented project creators. It's a cool honor as we continue to try to produce awesome, fun, indie projects to bring more people into the hobby.

Sticker Add-On

We'll be setting up an add-on for a set of vinyl decals, so the next update will have details and images of the decals, and how to add them to your pledge if you want to include them. Thanks to all the people who replied to the last update or sent us communication about getting them.

Goal Reached!!!

Wow!!! You all are absolutely awesome! We saw we met the funding goal last night and would have posted this message of gratitude earlier, but were away from the computer (and there is no business facing side of the mobile app anymore), and today I was collecting canned good for our local food panty with my daughter. Whereas we are extremely grateful for your support, please don't forget to help your local communities during this season of thanks, and state of uncertainty. We're all in this together, so take care of eachother out there. 

That said, THANK YOU! We're so happy to be able to bring this back in print, and we couldn't do it without you all. We're hoping to record a message from the whole team while we're at PaxU and share it with you, so be on the lookout for that next. 

We've been asked to make some of our Into the Wyrd and Wild decals available, and maybe make a few for Into the Cess and Citadel. If that is something you all may want as an add-on, please comment below and let us know so we can guage interest. 

Great start, and some things to come!

Hey everyone! Thank you for such a great start to this campaign! We're so excited to bring this back in print and get it in your hands and eventually on more store shelves. We've got a lot of things going on over the next few weeks, like Pax Unplugged in Philadelphia, and the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the states. If you are attending PaxU, please come by and say hello and chat with our crew. The authors/artists Charlie and Alex will be at the show and may have some time to hang out at the Wet Ink Games booth (3946).

Over the course of the campaign, we'll be showing off some of our favorite creatures, aspects of the book, doing some live conversations with creators, and giving hints of things to come in the series.
