Backerkit Questions
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 05, 2018 at 10:50:30 PM

Hi Everyone!

If backerkit does something unexpected please send me a message so I can take care of it.

Just so you know, if you post an issue into the COMMENTS this doesn't alert me right away to look at what your account needs might be, nor can I systematically address some oddities in the backerkit system while combing through the comments. I am afraid a request can get buried in there. So please message me.

We will work out all the kinks. I appreciate your patience. This is my first campaign using the backerkit tool set. Overall it is a powerful tool set and in the end it will get everything completed and managed correctly and precisely.

Backerkit cannot differentiate some of the special features of a specific pledge with nuances. Let me know if anyone hits a snag. Overall it look like the system is working fine, but sometimes when someone has a specific specialized pledge, the system gets confused. I can help--just let me know!

Best,

Aaron

Surveys on Backerkit
over 5 years ago – Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 10:06:49 PM

Everyone will get a survey soon. We are using BACKERKIT so there are some who will get a PRE-SURVEY test run today. This just means your survey comes earlier as we test the setup. 

Once that is complete, the rest of the surveys will be received as an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

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://midnightlegion.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://midnightlegion.backerkit.com/faq.

Book 1 & Book 2 now Available!
over 5 years ago – Sun, Sep 23, 2018 at 11:43:30 PM

Did you miss out on book 1 or 2?

Our supply of book 1 and 2 vanished faster than projected, and a lot of people wanted to get a book 1 or 2. If you missed out, a solution is available! We set up the books for purchase as a PRINT on DEMAND. This means you can get a print version of the book, with a few slight variations. Check out the PROOFS for the books. The colors look amazing, and the books have a very high quality feel:

They only produce standard formats, so the books are 6x9 (a little larger than the originals 6x8.5) 

Also there is a choice of SOFT or HARD COVER variation available for Book 1 and 2:

 

Because the books are printed as single editions, there are some cost changes, and slight edits detailed here:

Book 1:  Softcover: Cost is $3 LESS than box set because no dice, and the map and memories come in a printable pdf (included for free with book). (Hardcover edition is $5 MORE than box set)

Book 2: Softcover: Cost is $3 MORE than original book 2, book 2 is larger in volume than book 1.(Hardcover edition is $10 MORE than original book 2)

More images of the book sets:

Click on the images to visit the order form on drivethruRPG.

Interiors on both books look perfect!

The paper is high quality and thick. 

Everyone should receive a BACKERKIT survey within the next 8-12 days. This will help us collect all the  data for your order.

Cheers!
Aaron

We did it!

A round of applause for the best backer group ever!

Everyone made this a joy, and I want to thank YOU for being passionate and excited about the gamebook series, and the creation of PORTAL OF LIFE.

Aaron Emmel and I appreciate your encouragement and zeal.

Note: I will be adopting BACKER KIT so you can look for that survey information in a couple of weeks.

Best,
