Ahoy! A New Reward sighted off the port side!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Sep 04, 2020 at 01:02:40 PM

Avast and Ahoy, me hearties!

Hey, do you remember this Stretch Goal during our Kickstarter campaign?

INTERSTITIAL ADVENTURE – Eddy and his team will create a new Pirate-themed adventure that can work by itself or be easily inserted between the adventures that are included in the Pirates of Pugmire. This interstitial adventure will be released via PDF and automatically added to the rewards list of all backers receiving the Pirates of Pugmire PDF.

Well, we hit that funding target and added that reward to our rewards list. And today... I get to open the treasure chest and send that reward out to you!

“Sunken Bones” is a story for fourth to fifth level characters, in which your crew will lose your ship to a natural disaster and then bargain for the resources to recover it. The Graveyard is one of the most dangerous places in Dalmatian Cove, but it isn’t the only risky element at play. This story also provides opportunities for building relationships with key figures who make Dalmatian Cove their home and assists in uncovering some of their secrets. Reading up on Dalmatian Cove in Pirates of Pugmire (starting on p. 92) will be important for this adventure.

This adventure is designed to be run as part of the “Going on the Account” chronicle detailed in Pirates of Pugmire. It’s set after “The Race” and before “Heart of the Storm.” However, it is possible to run this adventure completely independently of those stories; ships crash and it’s not unusual for them to be dragged into the Graveyard.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your Sunken Bones Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at  https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/faq

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.

BACKER PDF VERSION

This is the first version of Sunken Bones to be released. We've sent you this initial Backer PDF for three reasons:

1) To thank you for your support! You helped shepherd this game through gusty winds and changing tides (so to speak!) and bring this into the world, and you deserve to see it first!

2) So you can start playing right away! As noted, this adventure slots right into the "Going on Account" story from the Pirates of Pugmire book! I can't wait to hear the tall tales of your pirate characters!  Yar!

3) To make the final version the best it can be! The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Sunken Bones errata and correction process!

Onyx Path has launched a special Sunken Bones Errata Form, which you can access here: https://forms.gle/oLwf9uhdytaWb9hr8

Click HERE to access the Sunken Bones Errata Form

Generally, we try to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, although it may be accessible a little bit longer due to the shifting seas of the world we're in now. Still, please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure we're getting everything covered.

We won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only - typos, incorrect math, page elements that overlap incorrectly, etc. It won't be for book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.

Also, they already know about the Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized.

After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), we will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.

You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.

I'll be back at the end of the month with our regular month end status update.

August 2020 Update
over 3 years ago – Sun, Aug 23, 2020 at 11:13:12 AM

Avast me hearties!

I'm sending out the month end update a bit early this month to make sure that everyone is on track for our final stage of BackerKit lockdown and make sure you all have the schedule.

This year is all about lockdowns.

Over the past few days, BackerKit has begun processing payments for Add Ons and pre-orders as we prepare for the penultimate stage of reward delivery. We've got one more step in the lockdown process:

 CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION - Please ensure your shipping information is up-to-date with your expected address for October 2020. Please ensure that this information is entered and correct by AUGUST 25, 2020. In six days, I will take the shipping information we have for you in BackerKit and provide that to our fulfillment partners, so they can start picking and packing orders, with plans to maybe ship October.

Quick note on schedules and timelines

2020 continues to prove that time does not work the way you think, and all plans need to be adjustable on the fly. I'm trying to get out a little ahead to have room to make alterations as needed, but obviously, these dates and the idea of shipping in October are our best guesses based on current projections. Should things change, I'll send communication and we'll update as necessary.

I am now internally referring to all of this as "Q4 Shipping" though I hope to get everything out to you as quickly as possible. I will continue to update you as I have information.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/

FINAL DAY ON KICKSTARTER

Last day to join in on this campaign!

July 2020 Update
over 3 years ago – Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 11:10:36 AM

Ahoy, me hearties!

'Tis the final day of July, so that means it's time to update our Captain's Log with the present condition of our crew and our journey status! Yar!

I'm extra pirate-y this morning, for some reason.

SURVEY LOCKDOWN PROCESS

We've locked down our final order quantities this week, so I'll be able to provide order quantities to the team as they begin the print process for this book. With everything going on in the world, we're locking down a bit earlier than we may normally have, just to allow extra time for strained logistics, reduced staffing situations, and delayed deliveries.

Our next steps:

1. CONFIRM ALL PAYMENT INFORMATION - For any additions you made in BackerKit, or any payments that did not process at the end of the Kickstarter campaign, please ensure your payment information is up to date, valid, and ready to be processed by AUGUST 18, 2020. In three weeks, I will instruct BackerKit to lock down and process all outstanding payments.

2. CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION - Please ensure your shipping information is up-to-date with your expected address for September/October 2020. Please ensure that this information is entered and correct by AUGUST 25, 2020. In four weeks, I will take the shipping information we have for you in BackerKit and provide that to our fulfillment partners, so they can start picking and packing orders, with plans to maybe ship by September, but more likely in October.

Quick note on schedules and timelines

2020 continues to prove that time does not work the way you think, and all plans need to be adjustable on the fly. I'm trying to get out a little ahead to have room to make alterations as needed, but obviously, these dates and the idea of shipping in September/October are our best guesses based on current projections.

Survey Review, Order & Address Lock Down, Print-on-Demand Options
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 07:26:18 PM

Ahoy Me Hearties,

I hinted at this in last month's update, but we've finally hit a point where land is in sight and we're able to make-ready for shore leave. Or, you know, without all of the piratey talk - it's time to lock down orders, process outstanding payments, and confirm addresses in anticipation of shipping our books.

Yo ho ho

So, many things to cover in this quick update, but let's start with the biggest one:

IT'S TIME TO LOCK DOWN THE SURVEYS & PREPARE FOR SHIPPING!!

Just to pause a moment in the middle of celebration, I ask that everyone reviews their BackerKit survey to confirm rewards and lock in information. Look for instructions below on how to access your Survey again, but key follow-up steps are:

1. CONFIRM REWARDS - I'll be locking down all Reward Lists, so if you wanted to add any additional rewards, please do so by JULY 28, 2020. In a weeks' time, I will lock down all reward lists and you won't be able to adjust or add anything after that time.

2. CONFIRM ALL PAYMENT INFORMATION - For any additions you made in BackerKit, or any payments that did not process at the end of the Kickstarter campaign, please ensure your payment information is up to date, valid, and ready to be processed by AUGUST 18, 2020. In four weeks, I will instruct BackerKit to lock down and process all outstanding payments.

3. CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION - Please ensure your shipping information is up-to-date with your expected address for September 2020. Please ensure that this information is entered and correct by AUGUST 25, 2020. In five weeks, I will take the shipping information we have for you in BackerKit and provide that to our fulfillment partners, so they can start picking and packing orders, with plans to begin shipping by September.

Quick note on schedules and timelines

2020 continues to prove that time does not work the way you think, and all plans need to be adjustable on the fly. I'm trying to get out a little ahead to have room to make alterations as needed, but obviously, these dates and the idea of shipping in September are our best guesses based on current projections. Should things change, I'll send communication and we'll update as necessary.

ADDRESS CONFIRMATION & DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS.

Consider this the (at least) six-weeks-from-fulfillment warning to update your information, after which point, you agree that our responsibility to you is to ship your order as listed in our pledge manager system to the address listed in BackerKit, that title and risk passes to you upon delivery to a common carrier for such shipment, and you are responsible for import duties or any other duties that may be payable to the relevant tax authorities, providing correct address information and ensuring this address is deliverable by normal methods. Failure to confirm mailing address prior to August 25, 2020 will be taken as agreement that all obligations have been met and no further action or effort is required on the part of Onyx Path.

That's my brief surface-style semi-legal notice saying, basically, we're going to ship to the address you've provided but our cut off date, so please ensure your information is as accurate as possible. And, we'll do our best to get the book into your hands and make sure it all works out! But we can only work with the information we have, and shipping systems as they are today. Things have been weird lately, so let's work together to make it happen. I'll do my best on my end!

(Of course, if you're getting digital rewards only, you don't need to worry about your address. This is just for the physical books and screens).

SHIPPING UPDATE TO COME

This is all in anticipation of shipping around September 2020. I will send another update when the books are actually ready to go and will begin shipping, but we need to have this information locked down prior to that stage. If you find yourself in an unusual circumstance or your residence unexpectedly changes between August 25th and the date I send out the shipping update, contact me to see what I can do at that time.

BACKERS FROM BRAZIL - All shipments entering your country require your CPF number. If you could ensure it's been added to your address information, that'll help speed the process along. Thanks!

BACKERKIT REVIEW

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at  https://pirates-of-pugmire.backerkit.com/faq

Print-on-Demand Discounts

THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR HARDCOVER KICKSTARTER REWARD. While Print-on-Demand capability has improved dramatically over the past decade and a completely serviceable option in most cases, it still hasn't quite achieved the final quality of a traditional print run. The hardcover book reward from the Kickstarter is projected to ship in September (as noted above), but the Print-on-Demand option exists for those who missed the kickstarter campaign, want another copy for their game table, or can't wait for that final shipment to go out.

Ideally, the hardcover kickstarter rewards would already be on their way, but the pandemic delayed everything by several months. To thank your for your patience and celebrate this big stage of the project, we wanted to get the PoD optional discounts out to you as quickly as possible, should you wish to order a Print-on-Demand copy!

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your Pirates of Pugmire PoD Discount will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php

Again, because it can get confusing: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR HARDCOVER KICKSTARTER REWARD

So, for those backers who pledged at the Freebooter reward tier, or those backers who might be looking for a second copy for the table, there are two different versions of Print-On-Demand options available.

Standard Color Heavyweight uses a thick 70# white paper which has better page opacity. (that's "70 pound" for reference, but does not mean each page weighs 70 lbs!).  Standard Heavyweight Color uses inkjet technology. (These are not the same inkjet printers you have at home - these are often as big or bigger than a car!) This option offers lower cost but the colors won't be as sharp or bright as a Premium Color book.

Premium Color Heavyweight uses the same 70# paper, but uses a digital offset press. This option offers superior color quality but is more expensive to produce.

(Remember to order via the coupon link in your BackerKit digital rewards locker, if you that was part of your rewards list! That link is your coupon and must be the first step in your PoD order.)

I'll be back at the end of the month with our regular summary, and I'll be able to move one reward from pending to delivered (the PoD coupon). If you wanted to order a Print-on-Demand copy, remember to use the link that'll shortly be made available to you via BackerKit. If you've pledged for the hardcover book from kickstarter, remember to double-check BackerKit and confirm your order and shipping information for September. It's been a long voyage, but again, land is in sight and we're getting ready to make port.

I'll be in touch again in just over a week or so!

TO CONTACT ME

  •  Via E-Mail: Onyx.Kickstarter [at] gmail.com
  •  Via Kickstarter: Click Richard Thomas under the "Created By" heading on the main page, and then press the "Contact Me" button - the message will come to me!

COMING TOMORROW TO KICKSTARTER

June 2020 Update + Reward Distribution
almost 4 years ago – Sat, Jun 27, 2020 at 09:46:32 PM

Ahoy me hearties,

We're in the final week of June, and I wanted to get word to you quickly, because I've got a reward for yar enjoyment and a notice of busy seas ahead.

I hope you read that in my pirate voice!

Yar!

First up, distribution of one of our Kickstarter rewards!

During our campaign, one of our Stretch Goal rewards was a Pirates of Pugmire digital wallpaper to dress up your monitor screen. I know I've certainly been looking at my home computer set-up a lot more than normal these past few months, so I'm very happy to change the digital decor and freshen things up. So, perfect timing to get our Pirates of Pugmire digital wallpaper rewards out to us all!

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

Your link to claim your Pirates of Pugmire Digital Wallpaper will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php

TIDINGS OF SEAS AHEAD...

Looking at the most recent Monday Meeting Notes blog, I see that Pirates of Pugmire is listed in the "At Press" section which means it's off to the printer! There are still proofing checks and all of that stuff, I think, and who knows what schedules look like, but we may not be too far away from locking in orders and prepping for reward ship out.

So, nothing official yet, but you may want to check into your BackerKit info to make sure your address is correct, your payment for any Add Ons or pre-orders is set up and ready, and you've added anything extra you were hoping for. We're not yet weighing anchor, but land has been sighted and we've broken out the oars. If that makes any sense. It's been a long few months...

I'll post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each monthly update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page. Also, feel free to check out Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes posts that I mentioned (linked here) which will give you a weekly status report on ALL of the projects Onyx Path has on the go (you may see spoilers for my monthly updates, or see what other kickstarter campaigns are currently running or about to launch).

FINAL WEEK ON KICKSTARTER

Grab your friends and escape to another world!

You've found an enchanted portal — a transition point — between worlds. The portal, called a Crossing, takes you to a world you thought only existed in novels and films: a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize weary travelers, and unicorns prance through the forest. It is a world where humans join other peoples such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded creatures who steal the night. It is a world of fantasy — of imagination.

It is the Realm.

It is Legendlore.

The project is funded, and we're in our FINAL WEEK of our kickstarter campaign! You can get the preview manuscript for free, and check out additional 5E fantasy rules! Also, the world of Legendlore contains portals to any other world of your choosing - one of the Actual Play streams on the Onyx Path Twitch channel featured characters crossing over from the Realms of Pugmire and the Scarred Lands!

Check it out! <LEGENDLORE RPG KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN>
