Check/Update your Address
over 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 01, 2022 at 09:13:38 PM

Hey everyone, 

Just a tiny update here, as books are about to come in, you should have received an email from Backerkit last night giving you 48 hours to verify and check your address. 

We had a whole lot of address change requests, so i wanted to give people an opportunity to change it themselves. 

If you need help accessing your backerkit, you can find your survey here https://incantations.backerkit.com/ ,  and if you have problems, feel free to reach out. 

books aren't due to arrive for another two-ish weeks, but I want to import the orders so we can start prepping and getting things shipped right when things arrive.

All the best, 

Andreas

An August Update (Books Incomming!)
over 1 year ago – Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 03:47:56 AM

Hey gang!

Let's start with some pretty pictures.

As well, the ship with hardcovers are expected to arrive at port September 11th, and subsequently reach our warehouse on September 20th, provided there are no further delays. 

Thank you all for your continued patience, and we look forward to updating you all with more good news! If you need to update your shipping address, please send us a KS message and we'll get that sorted out for you!

June Update
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Jun 18, 2022 at 04:09:28 AM

Hey gang! 

So book just finished getting through pre-press and are approved, and printing has begun. We should have some page proofs and print covers to show off when they're finished printing and arrive. As for timing, we won't reliably know until they're on a boat. 

The minis have been doing really swell, we've gotten them all properly supported and have a good packing process for them as well, so we'll actually be probably shipping out the minis before the books.

Adventures are getting a second pass to check for cohesion and balance before they're tested and then edited.

Lastly, we are currently running a campaign for our latest book, Libations: The Book of 1,000 Drinks. If you were a fan of all the extra spell text and descriptions, then this book should suit your palette as well. It is a book of fantasy drinks, devoid of any mechanics, ingredients or guides of any kind. Rather, each one has its own story to tell with it, be it telling of a time when you found solace and resolution, or even when the world became stranger with only a drop. 

We've already hit our initial goal, and every stretch goal we have is there only to enhance the book's usability. More art, partnerships on different tabletop platforms, and the same trifecta we had here of giving the book a spot gloss treatment, book ribbons, and art expansion.  Check it out here!

That's all for now. We'll update again once we have more news for everyone.

May Update
about 2 years ago – Fri, May 06, 2022 at 06:39:40 PM

Hey Backers, 

Andreas here, I've been running the backend of the project, and updated files have been submitted to the printer and are working through Pre-flight. I'll be working on getting the updated PDF out to you hopefully today (latest this weekend). For the book we should be getting some page proofs that we can show off in the next few weeks, and now we're just waiting for the Pins and Minis to finish up. In the meantime, Paladin is working on the incantations adventures. 

Regarding timing we should be getting the books before August to ship out.


But the minis is a fun story. 

Since the volumes are to low to justify a  full-on plastic print run (since you need a loot of volume to make them cost effective), we went down the route of printing them ourselves (as we were already considering doing this), before Christmas we had pre-orderd some decent 3d resin printers (that had only arrived two weeks ago), and we immediately began working on the minis. 

So far, all of them have printed out great, and the current work on them is getting bases on them so they can stand more firmly. 

Once we're happy with the prints with bases, we'll be sending out the STL files (since we're literally testing them). 

If you need to update your address, backerkit is still open for you to do so. And if you have any other issues feel free to message us (I'll be going through emails since i know a small handful have come in).

Hope all is well and stay healthy, 

Andreas

The Other February Update
about 2 years ago – Tue, Mar 01, 2022 at 01:51:45 AM

Hey gang, 

By now you should have received your PDFs for Incantations. If you haven't, check all the usual culprit reasons (spam folder, sub-folder, etc.). If you still can't find it, please email [email protected] about it. 

We haven't gone to print yet, as the print version has to undergo some minor changes before its print ready. As some have noted, there are a few typos and mishaps in the book. While we have gone through two rounds of editing, these things happen. If you can point them out to us, please do so by using this form. All required changes will be fixed prior to going to print, which will be done sometime this coming weekend.  

For other digital rewards, they will be sent out as they are completed. Adventures are being written, and 3d minis are still being completed, and updates will be given as they comeabout. 

Thank you are for your support on this project, and we hope you get plenty of fun when using the material from this book.
