Broadsword Guide to the Negative Energy Plane

Hey friends,

Just letting you know that we got a bunch of good feedback from the smoke test. Right now, we're seeing how to fix the issue of the bonus rewards going out with digital-only backers. Once I hear back from our friends at Backerkit and have the issue fixed, we'll launch the full version. 

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm just letting you know that we've opened the smoke test to a handful of backers. Once we get some feedback and data from them, we'll open it to the rest of you.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just letting you know that the Pledge Manager has been submitted for review. Likely, it will open sometime early next week. 

I used Easy Ship to get most of the prices. Right now, EU prices are skewing higher than normal due to strained trade relations between the US and EU. The best price we fond was FedEx Internationl Connect Plus. 

We'll do everything we can to get the prices down. The rest are fairly standard for US to Internationl. 

And domestic shipping is a flat $15 regardless of what you order.

If you're in a country/region that isn't listed (we did Canada, EU, Australia, NZ, UK, and the EU) and want us to see if we can do better than the "Everywhere Else" fee, drop us a message at [email protected] and we'll do some digging. It's pretty easy to adjust after the fact and you won't get charged until the charge date which will be in mid-August.

Once the Pledge Manager closes, we'll start dropping "First Pass" pdfs for you to put your eyeballs on.

Thanks!

Hey friends,

I'm back from Origins and caught up. The Pledge Manager should open this week. I hope to submit it soon. 

The big holdup is mainly Canadian shipping, which has two problems:

1) There's a big labor dispute right now that is preventing some shippers, namely DHL, from sending stuff that way.

2) We used UPS on the last Backerkit and, apparently, that's a big no-no as they will charge Canadians like... an additional $55 in customs fees (wtf UPS).

We're going with USPS, as some have suggested for Canada and the US. Sadly, it looks like we can't ship hardcovers from Amazon, as they've removed the option, but we do get some pretty heavy savings with Shopify. Of course, if you have any suggestions as a Canadian backer, let us know.

The only other thing I'm waiting on is the promo dice that a lot of you are getting. The trade fiasco in the US has backed up shipping lanes, so everything's coming reaaaal slow. As it stands, I have the fancy dice that went with the Negative version of the book, but only a handful of the promotional dice. The rest are coming.

The Pledge Manager will stay open for two weeks, giving you time to get your ducks in a row. After that, it will close, and I will start releasing the PDFs.

Thanks again, backers! Very excited to deliver these goods.

Hey friends,

I've been working on the Pledge Manager and finishing up the last project, Werebeasts. I should have it live sometime next week. It'll then be open for three weeks, so I have time to finish polishing the bonus content. At that point, we'll lock, charge, and release the PDFs.

Looks like the tariff stuff is at a stalemate for a moment, but that doesn't matter since the only item we ordered overseas already came (and I paid a healthy tariff on it, womp womp). The books are being printed in the US via Amazon.

Anyways, just keeping you in the loop. Chat soon!
