Forge of Foes PDF Coming Soon!
11 months ago – Mon, Jun 19, 2023 at 03:58:58 AM

We’re preparing the initial Forge of Foes PDF for release at the end of the month! We’re getting back our final round of artwork (see the bottom of this post for some awesome examples), finishing final edits and initial proofing, and laying out the book. At the same time, a read-through of the book by a sensitivity reader and cultural consultant is underway.

At the end of June, you’ll get a notification from BackerKit with a link to the initial Forge of Foes PDF. Even as you dig into all the book's monstery goodness, we’ll be going over the PDF with a fine tooth comb during our final proof stage as we prepare to get the print PDF off to the printer — likely at the end of July. (Feedback from any backers on any typos you might find in the initial PDF is more than welcome!) When the print proof stage is done, we'll release an updated PDF with any fixes.

If You Haven’t – Fill Out Your Backerkit Survey!

At this point, 220 of you still have not responded to your BackerKit survey. You gave us your money but we can't send you any product yet! You must fill out your BackerKit survey to get your rewards.

If you haven’t received and filled out your survey, use the URL below to recover your BackerKit survey using your Kickstarter email address:

Forge of Foes – Finalizing BackerKit Orders
12 months ago – Fri, May 12, 2023 at 07:14:06 AM

As of today, 93 percent of you selected your rewards and submitted your Forge of Foes BackerKit survey! Thank you!

For those remaining, you must submit your Forge of Foes BackerKit survey to receive your rewards!

BackerKit regularly emails reminders about the survey. If you’re not seeing them, please check your trash or junk folders. If you still can’t find them, email [email protected] with your email address and we’ll send it to you.

For those who completed your survey, we’ll be finalizing orders and charging your credit cards for any remaining balance due on Friday, May 19.

Once you complete your survey, you can download all digital rewards except for the Forge of Foes PDF itself, which we’re still working on.

Expect the Forge of Foes PDF at the end of June and physical book shipments between September and December, 2023.

We'll keep you updated as we have more specific dates and details.

Thank you very much for your support!

Forge of Foes BackerKit Surveys sent!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 24, 2023 at 02:40:26 PM

All Forge of Foes BackerKit surveys have been sent!

Please check your inbox, your junk email folder, or anywhere else your email might show up for your BackerKit notification.

You can also access your BackerKit survey here:

https://forge-of-foes.backerkit.com

Even if you’re not getting any additional add-ons, you must fill out your BackerKit survey to get your products!

Once you fill out your BackerKit survey and submit it, you'll get immediate access to download the electronic versions of your pledges and add-ons, except for Forge of Foes (which we're still working on).

We expect to lock down completed surveys in two weeks. You’ll get a 24-hour warning before we do so. So fill out and submit your survey and you’ll be all set.

Once we’ve finished all work on the Forge of Foes PDF, probably in a couple of months, we’ll send an email with information on how to download it.

Then, later this year, we’ll send out physical books to those backing physical rewards.

Thank you so much for your support!

Forge of Foes Backerkit Surveys Coming Soon!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 17, 2023 at 01:19:02 PM

We’ve received the funding from Kickstarter and are preparing to send out the BackerKit surveys!

Please keep an eye out for BackerKit surveys! This is the only way you can receive your rewards for this Kickstarter!

The BackerKit surveys will let you lock in your order, pay for shipping of physical orders, and add any further add-ons you might have missed during the Kickstarter campaign. This week, we’ll be sending out test surveys to a handful of randomly selected backers. Assuming things go smoothly with that, we’ll send the remaining Backerkit surveys to all backers. Again, you must fill out this survey to receive your rewards.

About a week after the survey goes out, those of you who backed digital rewards (not including Forge of Foes) will receive emails from BackerKit with links to either directly download your PDF or add it to your DriveThruRPG library.

When the PDF of Forge of Foes is finished (in two or three months) we’ll send out another BackerKit email with the links for the PDF of Forge of Foes to all backers who backed it.

Later this year, when we have physical copies of Forge of Foes back from the printer, we’ll send out physical orders, including Forge of Foes and any other physical books you backed. We’re sending them all at once to minimize shipping costs for you.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. Thank you very much!

Teos, Scott, and Mike
