Backerkit surveys this week… With Metal Coins

Hello!

We are moving swiftly and smoothly with this title. It seems the winds and tides favorable for us dragons in the Lunar Year of the Dragon.

The printing for the game is complete and now the factory is in the assembly stage.

This means that we might have an early delivery, at least for some regions of the world.

In addition, we are ready to send Backerkit surveys this week.

If you are relatively new to Kickstarter, please scroll down to learn more about what this surveys are for and how to answer them.

If you are familiar with Backerkit already, then you may skip the info below but there’s still something you might be interested to know…

Metal coins available as add-on!

We heard you and we have been in communication with Fractal Juegos (the original publisher of the game) to explore options to deluxify your games. While they informed us that it is not possible to create additional wooden pieces at this point (although they will keep in mind in the future), they allowed us to offer metal coins!

Coincidentally enough, one of the manufacturers we work with, Panda GM, informed us about the availability of some metal coins that are already produced:

If they look familiar to you, it is because these coins were originally created by Stonemaier Games for Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest. 

We spoke with Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games and he was happy to know that there might be a chance for these coins to be put to use in another pirate game.

They perfectly match the theme of Sea Dragons and Stonemaier Games had extras available. The coins are distributed with permission as add-ons for backers and late pledges, only during the pledge manager stage of this project.

The add-on includes 72 thick metal doubloon coins with the same engraving on both sides. These zinc coins fit inside the game box of Sea Dragons.
30 copper-colored $1 coins
24 silver-colored $3 coins
18 gold-colored $5 coins

We just need 300 sets to be taken in order to make this feasible within the logistics involved to ship these from the factory, we are confident many of you will be interested in adding them to your game.

A note for retailer backers: The coins are not available in the pledge manager but you may order Libertalia coin sets from distributors who carry Stonemaier Games products.

Backerkit surveys – Pledge Manager

We just sent the smoke test an hour ago, which means that a random 5% of backers received and email to access their survey in advance. Please let us know if you find anything odd so that we can fix it before the rest of the surveys are sent tomorrow.

In your Backerkit survey you are able to change tiers, include optional buys (add-ons, such as the metal coins), and privately share your shipping information with us so that we can ship your rewards when the time comes.

1. Check your inbox for an email with a link to your personal survey.

2. Confirm or update your pledge level and country. Remember that for this project we are only able to fulfill to US, CA, GB, AU, NZ, and MX.

4. In the add-ons section you can add the metal coins, extra copies Sea Dragons or more games from Detestable Games and Draco Studios. There is a large selection to choose from which are already available but you may add them to save on shipping or benefit from an extra discount on our games.

5. The next section requires you to add your mailing address where we need to send your rewards. Don’t worry if you have to update it later, this can still be modified for a few more months but it is best if you can fill it already and update later if needed.

Once completed, make sure to read our Terms and conditions and click on the green button “Place My Order”. If you don’t click this button, your order will not be marked as completed.

You will still be able to modify your pledge during the month of April, even if you have already placed your order. After May 2nd, you will only be able to update your mailing address until we start fulfillment.

Thanks so much for your support! 

We can’t wait to deliver your games so you can play this great game! We will be in touch in a few weeks to remind you about surveys being locked and charged.

(Spanish) Nota acerca de Local Pickup en Mexico

Si eres de México, puedes recoger directamente con nosotros para un costo de envío reducido. Sigue estos pasos:

• Selecciona “Local Pickup” en vez de “México” como país.
• Añade en el campo “State” uno de los estados disponibles para entrega. Debido a aprendizajes en proyectos pasados estamos habilitando únicamente GDL, CDMX, PUE, QRO.
• Añade tu nombre y número telefónico, de lo contrario, nos dificulta contactarte e identificar tu pedido. 
• Llena el resto de los campos con tu dirección, para que en caso de cualquier eventualidad que impida entregar personalmente, podamos tener tus datos para enviar tus recompensas.

Coordinar Local Pickup es más complejo que realizar envíos. Hemos aprendido de experiencias pasadas y seremos muy cautelosos con la fecha de entrega hasta que se haya confirmado su llegada a cada zona de entrega. Deberás comprometerte a pasar por tu copia lo antes posible con miembros del equipo y estaremos en contacto para indicarte fechas y dirección. 

Importante para local pickup en México: Existe una tarifa fija de 5 dólares ya que sí hay un pequeño costo asociado por mover los juegos dentro del territorio nacional después de haberlo importado.
