REMINDER - BackerKit surveys lock down TODAY! No rewards for incomplete surveys!
about 6 years ago – Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 02:50:04 PM

Hiya gang!

This is a reminder for the 53 backers that have to yet fill out their BackerKit surveys as I will be locking them down TODAY at 11:59pm PST.

I cannot ship rewards to backers with incomplete surveys, guys, so please hit the link below and enter the e-mail address you used on Kickstarter to get another personalized survey link:

--------> https://fewandcursed.backerkit.com/ <--------

Surveys are being conducted through BackerKit and that's the only way I'll be able to get your shipping addresses, any add-ons or current e-mail addresses to send the digital rewards to.

Hopefully most of you, if not all, will get this and complete your surveys in time. And since I've mentioned Digital Rewards...

DIGITAL REWARDS GOING OUT NEXT WEEK

I'm sending the files to Comixology and BackerKit today so I can offer the two download options as promised.

If all goes well, next week I will have redemption codes for those wanting to get their digital copy on Comixology and the PDF on BackerKit for individual downloads (one per backer only).

As always, I'm available for any questions, comments, critiques by replying this message directly, adding me on Facebook or shooting an e-mail to [email protected]

Cheers!
Felipe

PLEASE READ - Backer surveys locking down on the 15th as we're off to print! \o/

Hello, my dear backers,

BIG UPDATE! The book and rewards are done and off to print! :D

Files are uploading to the Kraken Print server as I write this and we're still slated to begin shipping rewards in Mid April as per a previous calendar shift. Digital rewards will be sent in the next two-three weeks as soon as I coordinate with Comixology for those looking to get redemption codes instead of download links.

Now that all rewards are in production I will be locking down backer surveys to make sure I'm getting the right quantities for every item.

Backer surveys will be locked on Thursday, February 15 at 11:59PM PST (Pacific Time).

That's enough time for any outstanding backers to complete their surveys or for backers to update their current surveys with any extras. As of right now my records indicate that there are still 64 backers with incomplete surveys. I cannot ship rewards to backers with incomplete surveys, guys, so please check your e-mails.

Just as a reminder, surveys are being conducted through BackerKit. If you don't believe you received your email invitation with a link to your survey from BackerKit, please contact me ASAP at [email protected] and I will be happy to assist you with a direct link to your survey.

As per an update posted on January 28th there is one extra STRETCH GOAL left for us to reach through the BackerKit add-ons, which we're just $600 short of. I believe we can get there and add the art below as a Mini-Print to every backer :)

Last but not least, the hard cover pre-order is locked down. Thanks so much for everyone that signed up and reserved one! Please stay tuned for future news if you missed out and changed your mind.

Thanks again for the support, everyone!

I really appreciate all the love you guys have thrown towards The Few and Cursed and I cannot wait to send out all the rewards and get your reactions!

Cheers,
Felipe

Hardcover upgrade 100% confirmed! Last couple of days to sign up for the pre-order \o/

Hello everyone!

Short and sweet: WE GOT ENOUGH PRE-ORDERS TO COVER THE COSTS FOR THE HARDCOVER UPGRADE!!

So that's happening and in a big big way! I'm also negotiating a CHROMIUM finish for either the dust-jacket or the actual books - hopefully for both the hardcover and softcover editions if that happens - fingers crossed :D

If you haven't signed up yet, hurry up as the Pre-Order form closes this Friday, February 2nd, in the evening:

-------> https://goo.gl/forms/LLPz7Xdxuz4iI3qj1 <-------

I'm catering the number of hardcover books to the number of pre-orders I get so if you are interested, this is the only way to get in line for one. Also, I wanted to address some questions.

FAQ - HARDCOVER UPGRADE

1) Is the upgrade to Hardcover a total of $10 (US) / $12 (CAN) / $15 (ROW) with shipping or is there an additional charge?

The costs above cover everything, there will not be any additional charges. International shipping is expensive because the hardcover ups the package from the basic charge to the next category and that's a big bump in price.

2) What art will be used for the hardcover edition?

I'm looking into printing the hardcovers in two different covers as well. In the event that's not possible, I'm going with the Variant by Rodrigo Ramos (that's the beautiful illustration on the header of this Update)

3) I've completed my BackerKit survey but now that we're getting the hardcover edition, I'd love to edit/update it with an extra softcover copy of the book, variant upgrade, etc. Is there a way?

Yes, there is. The BackerKit surveys have not been locked down yet which will happen around the same time I'll contact backers that signed up for the hardcover upgrade. That's happening in March.

If you need to make any changes, hit the link ----> https://fewandcursed.backerkit.com/

4) If you have any other questions or comments please feel free to leave a comment here, send me an inbox message or e-mail me at [email protected]

The books are 95% ready to go to print and I plan on updating you guys within the next few days when we go through Pre-Press.

Thanks so much for your amazing support and patience!!

Best,
Felipe

BackerKit Stretch Goals!
over 6 years ago – Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 11:47:00 PM

Howdy, fellas!

It's time to get the Chronicles in high gear and it all starts with the BackerKit Surveys! I'll be sending them out today and I wanted to try something new to help move things along with The Few and Cursed production:

A COUPLE OF SPECIAL 'EXTRA' STRETCH GOALS!

Because BackerKit tracks whatever extra funds come in through add-ons and upgrades I thought to myself "Why not give something back and do something special for those extra incentives?"

So far we've raised $395 in pre-orders or add-ons and I wanted to offer a couple of STRETCH GOALS:

--------> If we raise up to $3.000 in extra funds, EVERY BACKER getting something in print in the mail will also get the art below as a 6x10in glossy poster <--------

--------> If we raise up to $6.000 in extra funds, EVERY BACKER getting something in print in the mail will also get the art below as a HIGH QUALITY STICKER <--------

HOW CAN WE ALL HELP GET THERE?

BackerKit automatically offers add-ons and upgrades to you guys when you fill out the survey. It's the perfect opportunity to get extra comics, cards, special editions or even upgrade to the variant cover if your tier offered the regular only. The process is super easy, fast and there is no need to sign in.

For those pledging at the digital tier you can use your pledges towards upgrading to the print edition. For instance, you pledged $10 for the digital file, all you gotta do is add an extra $15 for the print plus shipping *wink wink*

You guys have gone above and beyond already for a tremendously successful campaign and the above is simply if something catches your eyes while filling out the survey. What you can do to really help is tell friends about the project, get them involved, spread the word.

BackerKit not only works with Backers they also set up a store for Pre-Orders and new readers! Your friends can click the link below, put in a pre-order and join The Few and Cursed universe \o/

Please share the following link with your friends, on Twitter, forums, Facebook, just help spread the word and I'm sure we'll hit our Stretch Goals for even more extra goodies in your packages.

We killed it with the Kickstarter campaign and I'm confident we will kill it with BackerKit as well! If you've got any questions please do not hesitate to ask by either replying this message or e-mailing me at [email protected]

Thanks so much!
Felipe
