Surveys are out!
almost 4 years ago

Alright that was fast! Backerkit approved my surveys and they should all be going out now.
BE SURE TO CHECK the email you used to sign up for the Kickstarter and check your spam/junk folder if it's not appearing. The survey is just verifying that your address is correct and that your rewards chosen are the ones you wanted. This is also the time for you to choose additional rewards if you choose to.
Make sure to SAVE that email in case you move and need to update your mailing address. I'll be sending out another update when I'm preparing to lock the orders.

Books and Updates!

Hope you all are checking your emails frequently for these updates. Because otherwise, you're in the dark and have no idea whats going on haha.
So good news. Printers are back up and I have an estimated arrival date for ALL the books the week of May 7th. Finally!
Everything else is in hand besides my wooden coins so once those come in we can begin shipping.
Important: Surveys have not gone out, repeat HAVE NOT gone out yet because Backerkit has yet to approve my surveys which may be due to this Covid stuff. As soon as they are approved I'll update you here and start sending em out.

Sorry for the delay on updates, been forced back into the Emergency room as an RN to handle this Covid crap stuff. Not fun, and also not your problem so let's get into it!
So with most the country, with everything on pause, my printer is unable to begin production on my book. They have the files and are ready to go as soon as the country opens up. The rumor (take this with a grain of salt) is that everything will be opening up May 1st. As an RN I doubt this will be the case but I hope I'm wrong for our sanity's sake.
The good news is once it's started to print they tell me they can get me the books within 3 weeks. And it being only a state away I don't see any issues with shipping.
Everything else besides the wooden coins have arrived.
To be honest, this sucks. But at least this time it's not on the printers, but some pandemic. Thank you for your patience. The surveys will be sent out as soon as Backerkit opens up as well.

Dropping in for some updates for ya! Hopefully you're still checking your mail ;)
Books have been approved and are in production. At this rate I may be able to get the books shipped out by July or sooner! That would be amazing but as we all know, there's still time for something to get messed up. Especially with this Corona stuff happening.
Funds are finally on their way to my account so I can start getting all the supplies needed. Surveys have not gone out yet so you aren't missing anything yet. Backerkit is a fulfillment app I have used the past few campaigns and I'm just waiting on them to approve my surveys and then those will go out!
FYI, if you end up moving before shipping begins save that email with the survey because you can update your mailing address. Also, if your over seas, when the book goes out please be diligent in checking with your local customs facility because they have a habit of holding my books and not notifying you. I cannot control that AT ALL though I'm sure I'll still get emails. If books are shipped out and returned to me due to not being picked up or wrong addresses you will need to repay for shipping. Sucks, but paying shipping sucks all around.
That's all!

THANK YOU!

Let's start by saying THANK YOU! to everyone who helped bring the second edition to life. I wasn't sure if there was anyone left from the first series that would be interested in the 2nd edition but you all came out to support and I am humbled as always.
I'm currently setting up backerkit addons so when you fill out or confirm your surveys, you'll be able to add on additional items that you would like.
This is the most important time because Kickstarter is charging everyone's payments so if your payment is declined you may need to try another payment form or contact your bank to verify the purchase. IMPORTANT! I can't send you out your books until payment is complete.
Make sure you are checking your emails because you will be receiving a survey from kickstarter to verify your address and the rewards you wish to get. I know some of you are new to this so here's a video from another creator on how the surveys work:

Very important to fill it out! And this time around I'll wait until the absolute last minute before I lock down addresses since some may move from now until then.
Let's get printing!
Shawn
