Shipping has begun for Sea Monsters! Divine Might launches tomorrow!
6 months ago – Mon, Aug 26, 2024 at 02:52:50 PM

We aren't kidding when we call it a QUICKstarter! PDFs are already out, and the first wave of print shipments has begun, with over 60 orders packed and ready to go from our stockpile of 5E books and even more print orders processed for our Pathfinder orders! 

We are always excited and delighted to keep making amazing products and projects for your gaming table, and tomorrow marks the next QUICKstarter launch with DIVINE MIGHT: Cleric Cyclopedias for D&D 5E and Pathfinder 1E!

You'll find an awesome 80-page encyclopedia of all things clerical for 5E in Clerics & Cultists, and a massive compilation of all of our divine classes for Pathfinder RPG in Defenders of the Faith! These exciting expansions are also offered in bundles with our earlier books for martial classes like Battlemasters & Berserkers and Templars & Tyrants for 5E and Legendary Classes: Sword & Fist for Pathfinder! As always with our QUICKstarters, you can expect not only Legendary quality (check out the Kickstarter page for more detailed information) but also lightning-fast fulfillment! It all launches tomorrow so click the link to follow along and we hope you'll join us! 

Treasury of the Fleet PF2 VTT option is missing for Foundry! Here's a solution
6 months ago – Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 11:04:24 PM

Hi all,

One of our sharp-eyed backers noticed that I goofed and forgot to include the Treasury of the Fleet PF2 VTT module for Foundry as one of the options in the Backer Survey. Since the survey is out, I can't edit that item any more to add options, so here's what we can do:

  1. On your survey, choose Treasury of the Fleet 5E VTT module for Shard
  2. Send an email to [email protected] to let me know that you want the PF2 Foundry module.
  3. I'll compile a list of all backers getting the PF2 module for Foundry and when I generate product codes, I can send them directly to you.  
  4. For any backers that do want the 5E Shard version, probably best to email me as well just for good measure to make sure I get an accurate count on both. 

It's a little bit bootleg but it'll work well enough to get everyone the items they want. Sound off Foundry fans for PF2 and I'll get you your nautical treasures!!!

Backerkit surveys are on their way!
6 months ago – Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 02:33:30 PM

Hi all,

We ran our smoke test and found a glitchy survey question so we went back and worked with Backerkit to get things fixed. Turns out the system has trouble with "multiple option/multiple choice" questions and after several iterations we just deleted those and went with several staight-up multiple-choice questions instead. For the 23 backers who already got your surveys yesterday as part of the smoke test, we'd ask you to go back and recheck your survey now that we've got that sorted. For everyone else, check and reply to your survey ASAP! 

I've uploaded all of the digital downloads to Backerkit already, so once orders are locked, we'll be able to charge cards and distribute those downloads! Once we get a count on VTT resources, we'll be able to load up code banks for those or else send out individual keys, depending on who orders what. 

Generally speaking, we wait until we've got over 70% responses before we lock orders, to make sure everyone has a chance to get the items they want. Please double check your mailing address if you're getting physical products, as that's the address we'll use to ship them and we want to make sure nothing goes astray! 

If you are in a situation where you need to wait a bit before completing your survey, that's fine too. We will do several stages of locking orders and then will lock addresses before we start shipping, usually with 48 hours of notice. If you can, though, please complete your surveys at your earliest opportunity so we can get things rolling out to you! 

Backerkit survey submitted!
6 months ago – Mon, Aug 12, 2024 at 01:07:58 PM

Hi all,

We've completed setup of our Backerkit survey and submitted it for approval. We should hear back by Wednesday if not sooner on approval and any necessary edits. 

We sent out download links for PDFs over the weekend. If you did not receive links for any of your items, it may be that Kickstarter's output spreadsheet had some glitches in how it recorded items (this happens more often than you'd think) or in DrivethruRPG's batch ordering system for sending complimentary copies (ditto). One thing to double check is to make sure you are logged into DrivethruRPG, as their new(ish) system logs you out pretty regularly, and that has happened to many backers in the past where they thought they were logged in but weren't. 

In any case, PDFs will be available soon to download directly from Backerkit, so even if the initial Drivethru link mass mailing didn't quite work, you'll be able to get your PDFs directly from there very soon. 

Thanks again for your support of this campaign and we look forward to getting all of your rewards on their way ASAP! 

Hurray and many thanks! Fulfillment starts this weekend!

Thanks to every one of our backers, including special shouts to brandenlee as backer #400, and our final backer, the charismatic charles! We appreciate your awesome support in making this project a reality and look forward to getting all of your rewards to you as soon as possible! Here's what's coming up:

  • PDF fulfillment: We'll be sending out links for PDFs this weekend. Kickstarter gives us a count of all people who have pledged for items and usually for add-ons as well, though in the past we have had some issues with add-ons not getting recorded correctly. In addition to sending out download links for PDFs, once we have our Backerkit surveys finalized you'll be able to download all PDFs directly from your Backerkit account. 
  • Backerkit Survey: We are already well begun on creating the backer survey and we will submit it to Backerkit for approval next week. This survey will be your chance to incorporate your mailing information (for people getting physical rewards), calculate and pay shipping based on total order weight, and a chance to pick up any items you decide to add to your order and/or select options if you ordered something requiring you to choose after the Kickstarter. Once the survey is approved, we'll send out a "smoke test" for 5% of backers, to give us a chance to make sure everything is working as it should and answer any questions. Once that's good to go, the survey goes out to everyone. Answer your survey as soon as possible so we can collect information and get orders organized. 
  • Physical Rewards: I'm going to be out of town August 18-24, so if we get surveys completed in time, I'll be able to start shipping physical rewards for items we have in stock, such as the 5E Sea Monsters, Pirate Campaign Compendium, Ultimate Treasury, and Legendary Loot Cards. Any that don't go out before I leave I can resume shipping when I return. For print-on-demand items like the Pathfinder books, I can process those print orders while I'm traveling, since they ship directly from the printer.
  • VTT Rewards: For most VTTs, we'll be able to create "code banks" in Backerkit where each backer can get the appropriate code for the items they've ordered. In some cases, such as if we only have one or a few orders for a specific product/VTT combination, I also may simply generate the codes and email them to you directly.

Once again, we appreciate all of your support in making this Quick-Starter a reality! We love creating books for multiple game systems and am glad our fans who loved the original Sea Monsters for 5E also supported branching out this beautiful bestiary for multiple systems! 

Of course, we always have something cooking and we have a brand-NEW project coming that isn't just a previous book conversion. Instead, we are offering Priests & Prayers, a new class book for all things clerical, a perfect companion for our Battlemasters & Berserkers book that explored fighters and barbarians, and Templars & Tyrants that unleashed holy paladins and profane antipaladins! This 80-page 5E class compendium just finished in layout and is ready to go, and we are in the process of finalizing a parallel Pathfinder RPG class compendium, Legendary Classes: Defenders of the Faith! Once both are ready, we should be ready to launch our next Quick-Starter for both books around the last week of August! If you enjoyed our previous class books we hope you'll check this one out!
