BackerKit Surveys Going Out; Pre-Order Site Live
over 7 years ago – Tue, May 23, 2017 at 06:19:08 PM

Surveys Sending Soon

BackerKit has completed their review, and they're turning things on shortly.  Soon thereafter, all of you should receive a survey email with a link to go to BackerKit.

This is only my second time using BK, and I still find it somewhat challenging to work with, so it's entirely possible I missed something.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at all!

As a reminder: Even if you have no plans whatsoever to purchase any Add-Ons, it's still very important that you still click that link and go through the very-very-quick survey questions anyway!  Thank you!

Pre-Order Option

If you or anyone else you know wants to get on board this campaign now that it's closed on Kickstarter, just go here to the BackerKit pre-order site.

TL;DR

  • BackerKit survey is coming any day now.  
  • Even if you don't plan on choosing any Add-Ons, it's vital that you spend a few seconds click-click-clicking so I know, for example, which rules system you prefer for applicable pledges.
  • Finally, if you like IGS products, there's a big opportunity to save a huge amount of money by choosing the right Add-Ons.  So take a look!

Verbose Version

Good news: funds have hit, and the BackerKit survey is in review and should trigger tomorrow or Wednesday.

In preparation for that, here are a few things to consider.

Backers at "Citizen" and "Hardened Citizen" Levels

Right now, you're set to miss out on the five massive books unlocked via this project's Stretch Goals.  Oh no!

Good news, though: BackerKit will have Stretch Goal add-ons for the PDFs and hardcopies.  So you can still take advantage of the huge discounts represented by this KS.

Future Pipeline Options

There's a rich pipeline of 20 books coming from Infinium Game Studios; check out our website for full details.  As I like to say, our ambition and creativity are matched only by the generosity of our backers!

If you like what you've seen thus far, and are interested in getting a huge discount off of what it would cost otherwise, there will be "Future Pipeline Bookshelf" options to lock in the savings on the future pipeline, for PDFs and/or hardcopies.

Future Atlas Options

Nearly all of these products will have a premium-color hardcopy Atlas and high-resolution Map Pack released alongside.  Having run DO1 as a GM myself, I can attest that while these seem an indulgent option, they are absolutely lifesaving when trying to run a game.  

Check out Endzeitgeist's 5-star review of the DO1 Premium Atlas for his thoughts, but he seems to concur.

BackerKit & Funding Update
over 7 years ago – Sun, May 21, 2017 at 05:03:57 PM

Funding Update

Just got the update from Kickstarter that the funds will be deposited tomorrow in my account, which is great news.  They took the full two weeks this time around, because a few backers' credits cards failed, and those backers didn't provide a replacement, so they just dropped out entirely.  That's never happened to me before.

The real gut-punch is that this lowers the effective funding amount below $6,000, which means Barrowton was NOT actually unlocked as we had thought.

Disappointing.  But life goes on!

BackerKit & Next Steps

BackerKit surveys will go out in the next day or so.  This is for two purposes: 1), if you get a choice of either Pathfinder or 5E, this is where you make that choice; and 2) if you wanted any Add-Ons, this is where you pick those, too.

Artifacts & Artifice

If you've not checked out our latest Kickstarter project, Artifacts & Artifice, now is a good time to do so--we've unlocked a SECOND book of magical items, an excellent resource for any Dark Obelisk or indeed ANY Pathfinder or 5E campaign.

Map Preview: Watchspire
over 7 years ago – Wed, May 17, 2017 at 06:28:38 PM

Watchspires dot the main roads of Western Aquilae; the PCs may encounter one in their journeys, either outside of Berinncorte in the context of Dark Obelisk 1, or venturing farther afield to Mondaria City as part of Dark Obelisk 2.
