Pledge Manager Progress + New Local Pickup Point for Quebec CIty
18 days ago – Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 06:52:24 AM

Greetings Explorers and Happy Friday!

Pledge Manager Progress

We opened the BackerKit pledge manager last week and 80% of you have already completed it! Thank you so much!

If you have not already completed please do so when possible. The pledge manager will close on December 7th and orders will be locked in at that point and your payment method will be charged for any balance remaining for shipping and/or taxes.

Please note, you must enter your complete address for it to calculate the correct shipping rate, if your address is incomplete, it will default to the highest possible shipping rate and appear to be ridiculously high. If you have any issues with getting it to calculate the correct rate, please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] with your full shipping address and I will get it sorted out for you.

If you have not completed your BackerKit pledge manager survey, you will receive a reminder e-mail today.
 

New Quebec City Local Pickup Option!

We added a new pickup point for backers in or near Quebec City at “La Pioche”. If you live in Quebec City or close by, you can pickup the game at the store for a flat fee of $5.00 CAD.

If you would like this option, please change the Country field in your address from Canada to “Local Pickup” and send me an e-mail at [email protected] confirming you would like to pickup your game at La Pioche.

Thanks again for your support!
- Roberto 🙌🏼💎

Bonjour explorateurs et bons vendredi !

Progression du Gestionnaire de Commandes

Nous avons ouvert la gestionnaire de commande "BackerKit" la semaine dernière et 80% d'entre vous l'ont déjà compléter ! Un grand merci à vous !

Si vous ne l'avez pas encore fait, merci de le compléter dès que possible. Le gestionnaire des commandes fermeras le 7 décembre et les commandes seront alors traitées. Votre méthode de paiement sera débitée pour tout solde restant, y compris pour les frais de port et/ou les taxes.

Veuillez noter que vous devez entrer votre adresse complète pour que le calcul des frais de transport soit correct. Si votre adresse est incomplète, elle sera par défaut associée au tarif d'expédition le plus élevé, ce qui pourrait paraître excessivement élevé. Si vous rencontrez des problèmes pour obtenir le bon tarif, envoyez-moi un email à [email protected] avec votre adresse complète et je m'occuperai de le régler pour vous.

Nouvelle option de ramassage local à Québec !

Nous avons ajouté un nouveau point de ramassage pour les contributeurs situés à Québec ou à proximité, au magasin "La Pioche". Si vous vivez à Québec ou dans ses environs, vous pouvez récupérer le jeu en magasin pour un frais de 5,00 $ CAD. Si vous souhaitez cette option, veuillez modifier votre "Country" dans votre adresse en sélectionnant "Local Pickup", puis envoyez-moi un e-mail à [email protected] pour confirmer que vous souhaitez récupérer votre jeu à La Pioche.

Merci encore pour votre soutien !

BackerKit Pledge Manager "Smoke Test" + Local Pickup Instructions
26 days ago – Wed, Nov 06, 2024 at 01:00:45 PM

Good afternoon explorers!

Yesterday we opened the BackerKit pledge manager survey to friends and family to work out some kinks. The survey is used for you to confirm your order, applicable taxes and shipping details.

Today we will do what is called a “Smoke Test”. 5% of backers in each pledge level will receive their survey. If you do receive it today, it would be greatly appreciated if you could complete it in a timely manner to make sure there are no more issues before we send it out to everyone.

If you do encounter an issue or have any questions please send me a message either here through Kickstarter, or e-mail me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

You won’t get charged anything until we lock the orders, so we have time to fix any discrepancies.

***LOCAL PICKUP IN MONTREAL, QC***
For those of you in the greater Montreal area we are offering local pickup or delivery for $5. To select this option, you must change your shipping country to Local Pickup.

I’ve created a step-by-step PDF showing you how to do it. If you still have issues getting it to work, let me know and I will fix it. http://bit.ly/3UIJHdg

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Bon après-midi, explorateurs !

Hier, nous avons ouvert le sondage BackerKit pour nos amis et notre famille afin de régler quelques détails. Ce sondage vous permet de confirmer votre commande, taxes applicables et votre adresse pour la livraison.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons faire ce qu’on appelle un "Smoke Test". 5 % des contributeurs recevront leur sondage. Si vous le recevez aujourd'hui, ce serait très apprécié si vous pouviez le remplir rapidement afin de nous assurer qu'il n'y a plus de problèmes avant de l'envoyer à tout le monde.

Si vous rencontrez un problème ou avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message ici sur Kickstarter, ou par e-mail à [email protected] et je vous répondrai dès que possible.

Vous ne serez facturé qu'une fois les commandes verrouillées, donc nous avons le temps de corriger tout problème.

***RAMASSAGE LOCAL À MONTRÉAL, QC***
Pour ceux et celles dans la région du grand Montréal, nous offrons le ramassage local à Chez Geeks (1460 Rue Jean-Talon E A, Montréal, QC H2E 3B5) ou la livraison pour $5. Pour sélectionner cette option, vous devez choisir “Local Pickup” comme votre pays dans le case “Country”.

J'ai créé un PDF (en anglais) étape par étape pour vous montrer comment procéder. Si vous avez encore des difficultés, faites-le-moi savoir, et je m'en occuperai. http://bit.ly/3UIJHdg

BackerKit Pledge Manager Survey Submitted For Review
about 1 month ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 05:22:34 AM

Greetings explorers! I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!

A brief update today. It took a little longer than expected to receive the funds from Kickstarter, but we finally received them this week!

Our BackerKit pledge manager survey is complete and has been submitted to BackerKit for review. The review takes 1-2 business days. Once the review is complete, we will do what is called a smoke test where about 5% of backers will receive their survey. This allows us to test it and make sure there aren’t any issues before rolling it out to everyone.

For those of you new to crowdfunding, the pledge manager survey is where you will confirm your order and shipping details. If your shipping address might change between now and fulfilment, don't worry, you'll receive another chance to update your address prior to us shipping your order.

Thanks again for your patience and support! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
