Project Updates for The Field Guide to Floral Dragons on BackerKit Page 3

BackerKit Update - Waiting on approval to send smoke tests!
7 months ago – Wed, May 22, 2024 at 07:02:20 AM

Hey backers!

We know you're all eagerly awaiting the BackerKit going live (along with digital downloads for the book PDF and other rewards), so we wanted give you an update!

We're currently waiting on BackerKit to give us the green light to send a 'smoke test', which will involve sending out survey emails to a limited number of backers. BackerKit has been slow to respond, but we're hoping to get the smoke test finished this week.

If that smoke test goes well, then the BackerKit Pledge Manager will go live and we'll send surveys out to all backers!

We'll be posting an update when the Smoke Test is underway (along with a guide to using BackerKit), and another update when the BackerKit Pledge Manager/Surveys are ready.

Thanks for being patient!

Need help?

Cheers,
The Hit Point Press Team

The Floral Dragons Campaign Has Ended!
8 months ago – Fri, May 03, 2024 at 07:06:48 AM

This campaign exceeded every expectation we had. Seeing all of your excited comments, suggestions & kind words brought us so much joy and excitement as we watched the campaign bloom and flower!

We raised over $1,110,000 - unlocking every single stretch goal including the coveted Floral Dragonborn Stretch Goal - a goal that wasn't even conceived when this campaign was born!

We can't thank you all enough for your support of this project, and we can't wait to get the Field Guide & its bouquet of accessories into your hands.

A message from the book's artist, Kin Wald:

"Words can't do justice to how surreal and amazing this month has been. To everyone who has supported the Floral Dragons: I am beyond grateful. It's easy to feel discouraged and undervalued as an artist in recent times, so the excitement around this project I poured my heart into has truly been transformative.

My goal has always been to make people happy with my art, and it feels like my dreams are coming true. I hope that you will all continue to share your ideas and the campaigns you want to run, and that the dragons will bring as much joy to your tables as you have given me."

Missed the Campaign? Late Pledges Are Available!

If you didn't get the chance to pledge during the campaign, we have good news! You can still support the campaign through late pledges available right here on Kickstarter.

We are participating in Kickstarter’s Late Pledge Beta - if you were thinking about pledging to the project but missed our crowdfunding deadline, it’s not too late! You can still support and pledge to available rewards. Kickstarter has some helpful resources here!

In order to late pledge, you can use the Kickstarter website or your iOS and Android apps. Just make sure you’re using the latest app versions to pledge!

Please note that limited tiers and exclusive campaign rewards are not available as late pledges.

What’s Next?

Late pledges run for 2-3 weeks while Kickstarter processes pledges

Kickstarter is going to begin to process payments for this campaign and the process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks. During this time, we'll continue to accept late pledges to the campaign as mentioned above!

When the initial pledge processing is complete...

We’ll send out BackerKit surveys!

Surveys will then be sent out to collect your shipping details, along with your pledge selection and add-ons. You'll be able to upgrade your pledge or add additional add-ons with the survey as well! As we get closer to releasing surveys, we will have information on how to fill out your survey, as well as specifics for choosing your add-ons.

We ask that you hold your BackerKit questions until then! Surveys will be open until we start fulfilling, but to guarantee your order we suggest filling out the survey as soon as possible.

Have questions? Reach out!

Leave a comment or e-mail us at [email protected]!

Thanks again for your fantastic support - now the work begins to get the Field Guide to Floral Dragons into your hands!
