Swyvers Backerkit
6 months ago – Mon, Apr 22, 2024 at 03:49:28 AM

We're running a smoke test, whereby a few of you will receive your Backerkit survey so we can check to see everything is working correctly. If nothing is busted we'll send the rest of them tonight or tomorrow.

We've opened up purchases of the limited editions with the deadline of the end of the month, since we have a short window where we can just ask the printer to print more than we asked. Once that passes, we'll be locked in. So if you want one (or more than one, you nutter) now/when the surveys go out is the time.

More soon!

Hi! Work on the Foundry version of Swyvers has begun. Exciting!

We're working with our dear, sweet friends over at Hod Publishing for the implementation and don't expect it to take an enormous amount of time. There are no deadlines on the module currently, but our experience on the Troika implementation would suggest that we're talking a month or two. No promises though! 

When it is finished, we will provide an at-cost code for all Kickstarter backers who are interested. 

More soon!

Backerkit (soon)

Hello everyone! 

It's all rather quiet here while we wait on a couple more art pieces. Shirt production is lined up, the printers are raring to go, and Backerkit is getting warmed up. The Backerkit is now just waiting for Backerkit to give the thumbs up on a couple of things, so I plan to send it live on Tuesday, with any luck. Backerkit will allow you to upgrade or add things to your pledge, it will also allow people who are having trouble with their Kickstarter payments to pay over there and not miss out on anything.

Luke is working on the 48 hour bonus adventure and we'll send it out as soon as we have it. Yes, it will be available to get separately on DTRPG and Itch.io.

More as it happens!

Backerkit + Foundry

Help! Help! We're all sick with seasonal colds, please send orange juice and ice packs!

Couple of things, first being "what do I do, my pledge failed for some reason?" Easy! Don't panic, once the Backerkit is up you can fix it on there, you won't miss out on any KS exclusive things. Backerkit will appear once we know the situation with postage. Not sure when that will be, but we'd like it to be sooner rather than later.

Secondly, we are almost certainly making a Foundry thing for Swyvers now. We're working with a very nice fellow who will be trialling a Troika module ('cos we have all the assets ready to go right now) and if that goes fine we'll move straight on to Swyvers. Work on that will start once the book text is totally locked in and ready to go to the printers. Again, sooner rather than later.

More as it hapens!
