We're so close to fulfillment! All the games are on the way from our manufacturer and should be at the warehouse by October 2nd. Shipping fees have been calculated and should now be reflected in your surveys.

Here is a look at the timeline for the coming weeks:

Locking Orders - Monday, September 14th
This will be the last chance to add anything to your order or change your pledge tier. You will get an email with 48 hours notice to make any final changes.

Charging Cards - Friday, September 18th
This will be when your card on file is charged for shipping and any add-ons you have grabbed through the pledge manager. Shipping fees are now fully in your surveys for you to review before we lock orders. You will get an email with 48 hours notice before cards are charged.

Digital Distribution - Monday, September 21st
PDFs of both games will be sent out via itch.io!

Addresses Locked - Friday, October 2nd
This will be the last day to make any changes to your shipping address as fulfillment will begin the following week. You will receive 48 hours notice to make any final changes.

And that's it! Once we've locked addresses, we'll be able to get those to our fulfillment partners and packages will start going out throughout October. I'm hopeful that by the end of October, you will all have games in hand or at least games on the way.

Thank you so much for your patience as we get through the fulfillment process. I can't wait for you to hold and play these beautiful games.

This is going to be a big pictures update! The first two copies of each game have arrived and I'm so excited to share a sneak peek at them.



As you look at these, remember the amazing talent that made them real:

For Rise, Wizards! - Robin Ekberg wrote the words, Samantha Leigh edited them. Helena Bia did the illustrations and J Strautman designed the book's layout.

For All's Fair - Dillin Apelyan wrote the words, Samantha Leigh edited them. Caro Asercion did the illustrations and Brian Flaherty designed the book's layout.









I am so proud of these books and I can't wait for you to have them in your hands. I've just paid the final deposit which means they should be in transit to the states any day now. We're still on track to have games in hand by the end of September with fulfillment underway in early October. Digital editions of both games will be out to you before the end of the month!

A reminder that you have not yet been charged for shipping. I'm locking in the last of those details so you should see those charges in the coming weeks when we lock orders and charge cards.

If seeing these pictures made you want to grab a copy of either game, the pre-order store is still open for a bit longer!

Thank you so much,

Elliot

p.s. I have a new game coming to BackerKit in October: To Feel Your Warmth - a tragic vampire duet

We've gotten all files to our printer and had a look at the proofs which means we are all systems go.

I was a bit ambitious with my original plan to fulfill during the summer. It is looking like we will fulfill in earnest in early fall.

From this point, it will take ~2 months to get the games here to the states. So we should have games in hand by late September/early October. Fulfillment will begin right away so you should have your pledges by October for US backers and by November/December for international backers (depending on where you are).

Digital fulfillment will likely be a bit earlier. We're eyeing late August/early September.

First, my sincere apologies for the delay. It's never ideal to have to add time but I can assure you this delay came from these two games being bigger and more beautiful than I knew they could be when we first set out to make them. There are a couple fun production goodies in each that are adding time but also making the games the best version they can be. I'm excited to share more when we have the first copies in hand later this summer.

I'm so excited for you to get these games. Thank you for your patience. I assure you it will be worth it.
