Dwellers of the Bog | A Mörk Borg Compatible campaign module

Status update: Roll20 codes, shipping, GenCon, and Dirtbags sneak peak!
3 months ago – Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 03:13:36 PM

Hi Everyone,

The Roll20 digital codes have been sent out through Backerkit! You should be able to find those in your digital downloads and can redeem these here: Code Activation Page

There are separate codes for Dwellers of the Bog and Kavlov's Sanctuary. I've also configured both of the modules as "add-ons", which means they are not a dedicated Roll20 module and can be added into an existing campaign. If you're looking to create a brand new campaign, I recommend adding both Kavlov's Sanctuary and Dwellers of the Bog in a brand new game so you've got access to both.

In other news, I am starting to ship this week! I'm currently dealing with some integration issues with Backerkit and easyship, but I leveraged my connections at Backerkit to escalate my support ticket and am now getting some assistance. I will be trying a few more things to get things fixed and am confident that packages will be moving very very soon!

That's it for Today's update, we are nearing the end of this magnificent journey. Thank you again all for your continued support.

GenCon 2024

Shamless plug to let everyone know I will be attending Gencon this year and will be volunteering at the Indie Game Developer Network (IGND) booth from Thursday to Sunday! I'm also going to be running some playtests of my new, upcoming game, Dirtbags! (currently listed as "Requiem" in the events). I believe there are a few slots left if you'd like to join in on the sci-fi shooter RPG fun, inspired by movies like starship troopers, tankgirl, and aliens. 

If you're going to be around, please stop by and say hi!

If you want to stay up to date on the latest news for Dirtbags or any of my other projects, join the discord (I occassionally run playtests there too), join our mailing list, or follow my socials @thedungeonskey.

Status update: books, charging cards, address locking and shipping oh my!
3 months ago – Fri, Jul 05, 2024 at 09:03:20 AM

Hi Everyone,

I'm thrilled to announce that the books have just been delivered to me! I will spend the weekend sorting through everything, double checking quantities and quality, then preparing for shipping: printing out orders, triple checking numbers, packaging add-ons, etc. Once all the logistics are planned, I should start shipping books the week of the 15th, if not sooner.

Charging Cards

IMPORTANT: You should receive a notification from Backerkit to inform you that your card has been charged. Of the 200+ orders, some 19 cards have been declined. Double check your Backerkit order to ensure that your credit card information is up to date. Please have this completed before the end of July, or reach out to me directly if you have concerns!

Locking Addresses

I will be sending final notifications tomorrow morning to start locking address in the next 48 hours, so this means everyone will have until Monday morning to lock in their latest delivery address!

Roll20

I have been navigating the Roll20 marketplace'isms and finally have both Dwellers of the Bog and Kavlov's Sanctuary on the marketplace, ready and approved. Next steps will be for me to raise a ticket with the Roll20 support team and get them to send the complimentary codes out to all of you. I will be doing that this weekend!

Thank you again for your patience!

Status update: Customs and Roll20
4 months ago – Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 09:18:12 AM

Hi Everyone,

Reaching out to let everyone know there have been some minor setbacks getting the print order passed customs. Canada changed some import/export processes recently and as a result, the printer failed to provide all of the necessary documents required during shipping. The printer is actively working to get a new import/export number issued as a result, a process which could unfortunately take up a few weeks to clear. With that said, all parties have got eyes on this and I've been reasonably assured that they are all doing what they can to get this expedited. Hopefully, I will be getting my hands on the books very soon and can start sending these your way.

Roll20

Another quick update on the Roll20 modules. These should be ready in a few days now, so I hope to be sending out codes for the Kavlov's Sanctuary and Dwellers of the Bog modules in the next week or so!

That's it for this update. Just wanted to be transparent about this minor delay and keep you all up to speed. As always, if anything else changes, I'll be posting here again.

Status update: Book printing, charging cards, and locking addresses

Hi Everyone,

A short update to let everyone know that the books were ordered not long after my previous update and are due in a few weeks. This means that I'm going to start charging cards relatively soon (as long as there are no shipping delays) and that not long after, addresses will be locked! If you are going to be moving soon or plan a change of address in the next 4-8 weeks, please feel free to reach out to me via Kickstarter, just so that I'm aware of any special edge cases.

In the meantime, I've started packaging the free poster map and character sheets, and have also received a new order of zines for your add-ons! 

That's it for now. Look forward to another update in the not too distant future!

Status update: Proof sneak-peak and backerkit locked, and next steps.

Proof sneak-peak

Hi Everyone,
I'm kicking this update off with a proof sneak peak! The book looks and feels fantastic; these pictures do not do it justice :)

I'll be spending the next week or so reviewing the book and making any final edits before sending off the final version to the printers!

Backerkit orders locked

Orders have been officially locked! This means you will no longer be able to upgrade your order, or add additional add-ons. Next steps are to charge cards and lock addresses, something I'll be doing a bit closer to shipping in several weeks.

Note that the pre-order store will remain open for a few more weeks, so please feel free to share the URL with friends and others in our community to make sure they get in on time!

Next steps

I'm going to continue working on the Roll20 modules, it's not complicated but a bit time consuming as it isn't possible to copy over the formatting, and I want to make sure the content is easy to read and functional. All of this to say that I believe we're well on track to deliver on everything on time, and that I'll continue to you provide updates as I make progress.

Thanks everyone!
