Ledger+ Access Codes in 1-2 weeks, late purchases on The Deck of Many, and good manufacturing updates
over 5 years ago – Sat, Aug 01, 2020 at 06:40:57 PM

Hey everyone!

I've gotten a lot of questions in the last week about the Ledger+ codes, and I'm happy to say that they're working and are virtually ready for distribution! However, I'm working on getting the userflow polished to a point where you can add them as seamlessly as possible. Once it's ready for everyone, you can expect them in your inboxes! When you get them, you'll be able to add them directly to your Ledger+ account, which you can create any time you want right here. I'll be sure to create another update about it!

I've also gotten a lot of questions about late backing. Rest assured: rewards from the Kickstarter campaign will be available for sale very soon through The Deck of Many. We're still working out the best way to distribute L+ codes to people who didn't order through KS or Backerkit, which has a great delivery system for codes, so they may ultimately need to be sold elsewhere: potentially directly from the Ledger. The PDF, when sold on the Deck of Many, will also be a pre-order until I submit the final files to the printer. You wait a little longer, but you get the final product in one final download!

Speaking of the printers, they're working on the proofs right now. That means that I'll be getting physical copies in the mail to review soon, and after making any last minute edits, the printers will be working on producing these for you all! There will be a limited stock of unsold Deluxe editions of the book on The Deck of Many, too, so be sure to get those while they're around!

Further, the tote bags are almost ready for production as well. I've been back and forth with them about edits and final design quality control for weeks. They're looking awesome! The same holds true with the enamel pins, deck boxes, and card volumes: they're all rolling along as planned and on schedule!

So ultimately, we're looking good! No issues to speak of, and you can expect those Ledger+ codes to go out in the next one to two weeks! And if you missed out on something during the campaign, you can get it very soon from The Deck of Many's site!

That's all for now! Keep on adventuring!

PDF v1.1 is now available! Update your copy!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jul 08, 2020 at 02:13:18 PM

If you're logged into Backerkit, this link should direct you to the file. If it doesn't, you can find it through your account as normal or through the email that just went out about it.

Thank you everyone so much for your brilliant finds this week. There have been a lot of people that have read through this document in all its various sections over the last year, and you all still found some really awesome errors to fix.

Thank you!

Please be sure to download version 1.1 of the PDF through Backerkit. If you sent me a message, left a comment, DM'ed me on Discord, Instagram, Reddit, or pretty much thought about an error in my general direction, it's probably fixed here. If not, just let me know.

I'm certain that you'll find more over the next week or two, of course: 200 pages is a lot of content to proof! As with version 1 of the PDF, please continue to let me know if you find anything that's missing, misspelled, etc. Your help ensures that this product is as good as it can be for everyone!

You're awesome. Seriously. Enjoy the updated file, and keep on adventuring!

PDFs sent! Enjoy your digital copies of the book, everyone!

Whew.

The book is ready. The PDFs have just been sent to everyone through Backerkit, so check your emails or Backerkit account to grab it!

The PDFs will be available via The Deck of Many in roughly a week for anyone looking to purchase it after the fact.

In one week, you will get the updated PDF file with any revisions that have been made between now and then.

During this overlap period, please let me know in a direct message to me here on Kickstarter, Instagram, or through Discord if you spot any spelling errors or the like. Lots of people have reviewed this, but small mistakes can still worm their way into things. I'll be sure to incorporate any of these fixes before the book gets sent off to print!

Enjoy the content, and keep on adventuring!

Known issues:

• The Index for Parts 2 and 3 are missing a couple entries.
• Index page numbers don't line up (the PDF needed a couple extra pages at the start)

Last week to pledge and fill in those surveys! PDFs going out shortly after!

Hey everyone! Thank you for your patience!

I'm sending final copies of the PDF around today and tomorrow to my last wave of editors. After a final design pass by my friends at the Deck of Many, I'll be clear for sending out the PDF! That means that...

You need to have your pledges, addresses, and other information added to your pledge on Backerkit this week. I will be locking orders on Friday, June 26th before sending out the PDF.

Once I lock your orders, you'll be charged for any outstanding balances you have on the account, if any. I'll use the surveys you completed to enter in your names to the Kickstarter backer PDF credits, and once they're done, you'll get your well-deserved digital download of the PDF in your inboxes!

Everything is still on track in terms of production. Cards, boxes, totes, and pins are all in the hands of manufacturers. I will be submitting the PDF to the printers in the first week of July, allowing you to have a week to potentially catch any embarrassing spelling errors that somehow make it through the editing process before it goes to print.

Hope you're excited! I know I am! I'll be sure to send out another update when the PDFs go out, too!

Keep on adventuring!

512 Surveys left! Please fill them out!

Hey everyone! Thank you for the support!

512 people still need to fill out their surveys. If you haven't yet: please do! Use this link and sign in using your email address. You'll be given your survey to fill out, which should take no more than a minute, typically. Bigger orders have a couple more questions.

Again, use this link to fill out your surveys, if you haven't already:

https://tgs-book1.backerkit.com/backer/welcome

If you any problems, please send me a message here on Kickstarter or to Backerkit support directly. I'll be happy to work with you to get you set up!

In other news, the tote bag designs are done and being reviewed by the manufacturer. The pins are ready to be made, and I have the manufacturer's box template ready for the deck boxes. The book itself is almost finished! I've got a few more pages left, and then it's off to a fourth wave of editors to comb through. I have to make a couple revisions to the item cards, but then the remaining decks of cards will be ready to be shipped off to be printed as well!

In short, everything's on schedule!

Thanks again for the support, everyone! Keep on adventuring!
