First "wave" of Backerkit Surveys Sent!
about 5 years ago – Wed, Apr 03, 2019 at 02:22:49 AM

Folks, 

The first wave of Backerkit surveys (several hundred) have been sent!  Backerkit calls this a "Smoke Test" and it's purpose it simply to make sure everything is running smoothly before it is sent out to everyone!  If you are among the lucky few—congratulations!

If you have not yet received, rest assured, it is coming. I think you will be pleased by the add-on selection!  (Thanks to localization partners, I have committed to reprinting many expansions and accessories, so spread the word!) You will see that the Meeple Realty add on does not yet have photos, but I will post as soon as I have them. (Probably this weekend). Thanks for your patience!

Oh, I almost forgot.  The pledge manager (and the link you have or will receive) will be fully functional until November 1, allowing you to add/edit your order. At that time, we will "lock down" orders and charge credit cards!  Please note that Pay Pal charges occur immediately. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

BackerKit surveys (Pledge Manager) coming this week!!!
about 5 years ago – Mon, Apr 01, 2019 at 02:25:28 AM

Hey folks!

Early this week* you will be receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey—Also known as the Pledge Manager, or "PM" if this isn't your first rodeo.  : )

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey—just click the survey link when you get it. Then, answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and then pay for shipping AND add-on items! 

As stated in the campaign, shipping will be charged via BackerKit based on the weight of all the items in your order. If any part of your order contains an item that has yet to be manufactured, your order will ship in early December (or sooner)! For all other orders, please allow a couple weeks for delivery. 

Stock-permitting, orders will originate from fulfillment centers near you to avoid VAT taxes. All other non-U.S. orders will be subject to VAT. (Partner fulfillment centers are located in China, Australia, the U.K., U.S. and Canada).

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys (in the Fall) and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://feudum-rudders-ramparts.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://feudum-rudders-ramparts.backerkit.com/faq.

* It took a little longer to put this Pledge Manager together because I included a lot of the special add-ons that you requested! : )

 By Jove, we did it!  

I say “we” because without the vision of Bruce Monson, the sculpting wizardry of Scott Ryan, the marvelous motion graphics of Stephen Noce…..AND, of course, the inspired artistry of Justin Schultz, this project would not have happened! *

To all the original Feudum supporters that have been with me since the beginning—Thank you for your dedication! To all the NEW Feudum fans, welcome aboard and thank you for your trust and support. And, to all the friends of Odd Bird Games including Jonathan Sessions, Mallory Weise, Faith Power and Gracie Fitzgerald—I am truly grateful!

As a token of my gratitude, (and even though the Spieleschmiede still has 9 days left)…. I’d like to promise you that I will include the final stretch goal—The Royal Writ Compendium— in with every Kickstarter edition—regardless of whether or not we reach $175k!

Now that the campaign is over (domestically), I will devote my time to finalizing the pledge manager! I will be sending out an update towards the end of this week on how it works and what to expect!  

Once again, thank you for believing in me and the Odd Bird Games team. We look forward to seeing you at Geekway and GenCon!

*Also, HOTGAMEMAGNET’s squirrelly sense of humor was fairly essential.
