Survey Window Closing Soon
over 1 year ago – Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 08:15:52 PM

I technically want to close the pre-order shop down at the end of the month but it makes the most sense to me to close it once I get back from SCGCon. I'll be way more focused and remove stresses that could cause mistakes.

So expect orders to get locked and cards charged around the 5th or 6th. Once I do that I'll also close down the pre-order shop as well. It will take some time for those items to be available at the retail level. Where some items I'll have in my shop and at shows and others will be available via DriveThru RPG.

What do you do if you haven't filled out the survey and I've locked orders and started ordering supplies?

First, I plan to have a few extras of everything just in case. I'll comb through the unfinished surveys to see the minimum items I'll be sure to have on hand for those backers. Those backers will have a bit of time to get things wrapped up as items are in production. This generally won't cause you too much concern. But, for my sanity, I'd love that survey completed when you can.

The one note I will make is that international backers that miss the shipping window (October) will find the shipping rates will go up as all packages will be shipped from the US rather than the EU.

If you have questions or other issues let me know. Happy to do what I can.

Surveys!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 06:57:19 AM

By now most of you have completed your survey. We're almost 70% completed. All of you that have reached out with questions, thank you! With your help, I was able to make a few adjustments that should help others out. A few of you will have a lower balance due because of it.

The sooner all the surveys are completed the sooner I can lock things in and start ordering everything. If you can't find your invitation follow this link and enter the email you used for Kickstarter.

Miss out on the campaign?

If you're not a backer but still want to get these wild shape cards I'd like to direct you to thepre-order store. There's still some time left before the pre-order store closes.

Shipping info update

This is especially important to backers living in the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Netherlands

First, for those living in the Netherlands the country code was missing from the shipping region it was associated with. It's been added. Anyone that overpaid the shipping should either show a positive balance or I'll refund the difference. It should not say $50 for shipping within the NL region. The base rate is $18

Australia, and New Zealand

For those living in the above, I've taken a look at local rates and it does appear it will be less expensive to ship right from Chicago. I've updated the shipping zone for your region. Again, anyone that overpaid the shipping should either show a positive balance or I'll refund the difference. The base rate is $20.

I hope this update works out for those who've shown concern. I'm all about making things as fair for shipping as I can. If you're in the EU the shipping rates really will be the best as your packages will be shipped from the US to the NL and shipped from there. Those outside the EU that have any questions, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. 

Survey Smoke Test
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 03:20:32 AM

The funds are incoming so it's time to start the surveys. But, I want to ensure it all goes smoothly and Backerkit suggests a Smoke Test. So, I'll start there. If those folks don't seem to have any problems I'll send the rest out. Between myself and Backerkit, we have tried to make this an easy experience free of flaws but something might be off and you can always reach out to me to get it fixed.

What is a Smoke Test?

• A smoke test sends surveys to 5% of backers from each pledge level in the campaign.
• It’s a simple way to catch any errors in the survey and ensure everything runs smoothly.
• Once the smoke test has been completed, I'll send surveys to the rest of the backers.

Minor update to the card design

Hi all!

Home from an amazing GenCon and waiting to get to the next steps where I can send out surveys. I'm hoping that's next week. Once the funds are transferred I'll send out a "smoke test" of surveys to about 5% of you folks. That will ensure any minor mistakes (if any) are caught.

I did want to share a small update I'll be making to the cards. Some basic improvements. On the front of the cards, I'll add the CR number. While playing it was something I felt I kept looking for. So, I added it. And while working on proofs of the expansion I had printed I quickly realized how helpful it would be to have the sets labeled on the cards. In this case, "Core Collection" will be on the stat side of the cards.
