Pledge Manager Shipping/Add-on Charging Cards this week
about 2 years ago – Sun, Jan 14, 2024 at 03:39:34 PM

Hey there Timekeepers!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that today we are starting to charge credit cards for Backerkit shipping and add-ons, and a heads up to be sure you have funds in the right bank accounts etc.

We'll retry any failed transactions over the next few weeks so not to worry if yours fails first time.

Alpha PDF/Playtest Update

We have the Alpha PDF complete and are just doing a final proofing before packaging it up and sending to all the backers. This will be distributed via Backerkit later this week.

We'll also be including a link to a Google Forms survey page where you'll be invited to give any feedback/errors/playtest info back to us and really be a part of the development of the book (you'll get a special thank you credit in the final book too!). 

On top of that we also invite you all to join the Haggard Time Continuum discord server for more discussion with us on the book: https://discord.gg/uHKW9Xzc

Thanks folks!

over 2 years ago – Sun, Jan 07, 2024 at 03:40:51 PM

Hey there Time Keepers

Just a quick update to remind everyone that the project will be locking orders in the Backerkit surveys in 48 hours on the 10th of January 2024 (10 am Australian/Melbourne/AEDT time). From that point onwards you won't be able to change your order quantities or include any more add-ons.

So, if you've been sitting on the fence as to whether you want include any add-ons in your order, now is the time to jump in and grab them at the Kickstarter exclusive discounted prices before they return to standard retail price.

Changing Shipping Addresses

Fear not! You WILL, however, still be able to update your shipping address right up until sometime in June 2024 when we lock addresses and begin fulfillment delivery.

If you have any questions, or didn't receive your Backerkit survey email, please contact us immediately via Kickstarter messaging and we'll be happy to help out.

Thanks folks, we'll be in touch with some more exciting news around the Playtest/Alpha PDF of the book very soon!

Clint and Phil.

Happy New Year from the Future!

Happy New Year, Time Keepers!

As we bring 2023 to a close and usher in 2024, we would just like to thank you all for the journey you've taken with us in this Kickstarter this year, it really made all the hard work, long nights, and big dreams well and truly worth it.

Backerkit Surveys and Order Locks: Also, as way of a quick update, we have now 10 days until the Backerkit pledge surveys are closed and orders are locked. There are a handful of backers still yet to complete their surveys, so if this is you, please check your inbox for any emails from Backerkit (and check your spam/junk folders too!). We would hate for you to miss out on receiving your pledge rewards. If you haven't received it or can't find it, get in contact via this Kickstarter page with a direct message and we'll get it sorted for you.

Alpha/Playtest PDF: We are also well on-track to deliver the Alpha/Playtest early access copy of the Chronomancer's Guide to the Future Part II PDF to you all over the next 2 weeks (we'll post another update when this happens, so you all don't miss out).

Did you miss the Kickstarter? And of course, if anyone reading this missed out on the Kickstarter, it's still not too late to jump aboard with our Pre-Order Shop available and open for the next 10 days before we lock orders, so check it out here: Preorder The Chronomancer's Guide to the Future: Part 2 - 5th Edition on BackerKit

That's all for now folk, look for more updates over coming weeks.

Cheers

Clint and Phil.

Slight Schedule Update
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 14, 2023 at 02:59:02 PM

Hey there Time Keepers!

Survey Reminder: Firstly, just a quick thank you to everyone who has completed their Backerkit Pledge Manager survey. There are still a handful of folks who have yet to complete it, so a quick reminder to those who haven't, we'll be locking orders on those surveys on 10th January 2024 - so check your inboxes (including junk and spam folders) and let us know if you have not received or can't find yours.

Schedule Update: Just wanted to touch base with a little update on the post-KS schedule. We've been hard at work getting the edited manuscript into layout, however, this is proving to take a little more time than originally expected (mostly due to all the additional content we have thanks to the awesome stretch goals we all hit). What this means is the Alpha/Playtest early release version of the book won't be ready by the original date slated in the previous update. All other dates are staying the same.

The new expected release date for the Alpha/Playtest early release PDF will now be the week of 15th January 2024. However, if we manage to get it finished earlier than expected, we'll release it to you earlier. Thanks for your understanding here - we'll always aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to schedule adjustments and other changes to the product and delivery.

Thanks again, we'll be in touch soon!

Backerkit Survey sent!

Time Keepers – Report to the Spinning Wheel!

We have some exciting news, the Backerkit surveys have been released to everyone! Check your email inboxes (and your junk folders) to make sure you have received yours.

So, what does this mean for you?

Backerkitis a third-party pledge manager service that integrates with Kickstarter. We use it to give you, our amazing backers, the opportunity to purchase extra add-ons (in addition to automatically pulling your already purchased Kickstarter pledge into it), for collect any relevant shipping fees, and confirm your delivery address information all under a single roof.

All of this information is collected via the Backerkit survey which is sent to your Kickstarter-associated email address (each survey is unique to every backer and contains your specific Kickstarter pledge information already included).

This means that you will receive an email in your inbox from BackerKit, asking that you fill in this survey as soon as possible. Please note, it will take time for these to reach everyone's accounts. So, if yours isn't yet linked to your BackerKit, rest assured - it is on the way.

You will need a Backerkit account in order to complete your survey. If you don’t have one already you should be prompted to create one when you click the link in the survey email. Alternatively, you can create one now by following this link here.

*please note, if you used Apple Pay to pay for your Kickstarter pledge then your email address associated with your pledge may have overridden your email address with one ending in @privateappleid. If this is the case, you will need to message us with the correct email address you would like your BackerKit Survey sent to. Please message us via the Kickstarter inbox with the correct address and we can amend this for you*

VAT information for our Canadian, European, and UK backers

Value Added Tax is relevant in several countries, and it is our legal obligation to ensure proper accounting for VAT for packages destined for countries where it applies. We appreciate your understanding regarding these additional charges, emphasizing that they are not imposed by Haggard Time Games.

The shipping cost indicated in your BackerKit survey already includes VAT. If the amount appears slightly higher than expected based on the estimated charges shown on our Kickstarter campaign page, it is due to this inclusion. Your checkout summary will clearly outline the specific amounts attributed to VAT.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding survey access, shipping, VAT, or any other inquiries. Please direct your questions to our Kickstarter inbox, and we'll be delighted to assist you.

We hope you enjoy navigating through your surveys and are eagerly anticipating the playtest/Alpha release later this month!
