Post Campaign Week 16
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 01:17:55 PM

Hello everyone and happy Friday.

Big thanks to everyone that has completed their surveys via BackerKit. So far 86% of backers have completed their surveys and that's a great help in figuring out our final production numbers. If you haven't had a chance to complete your survey yet, check your email for a message from BackerKit and knock it out at your earliest convenience.

In the meantime, I have been painting away on scrolls (along with weathering them). It's going well and we are still on track to deliver in September.

Here are the current finished numbers -

  • Arcane Eye - 275
  • Banishment - 275
  • Black Tentacles - 276
  • Blight - 251
  • Dimension Door - 218
  • Fabricate - 251
  • Faithful Hound - 203
  • Glyph of Warding - 0
  • Ice Storm - 186
  • Phantasmal Killer - 48
  • Polymorph - 0
  • Summon Greater Demon - 0
  • Wall of Fire - 0

Total - 1,983 (+207 since last update)

Work on the scrolls will continue and I will check in with Red Stick Studio to get news on how the Scrollworks Folios are coming along.

Coming Up

As always, SkeletonKey Games is working on a few projects at a time. This summer we are returning to our roots on a product line we started 20 years go. Follow this link to get notified of our next project launch.

That's all for this update. I will be back next week with more production info and continued thanks for your amazing support. Have a great weekend!

Post Campaign Week 15 - update 2 - BackerKit Launched
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jun 05, 2020 at 01:05:16 AM

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your patience! All backers have now been sent surveys via BackerKit. A few important notes.

  • We will be locking orders on July 31st. This will allow Red Stick Studio to complete any last minute orders for Folios before we have to ship.
  • Our goal is ship by September 7th.
  • If you want a Necromancer's Folio, get it now. There are only 13 left and we will not be making more in the future unless we can find a reliable source for the skull embossed leather.

I will be back next week with my regular production update. Thank you all for the support!

Cheers - Ed

Post Campaign Week 15 - Mini update 1 - Smoke Test
almost 4 years ago – Tue, Jun 02, 2020 at 02:35:51 PM

Greetings everyone,

It's later than I had hoped but the BackerKit smoke test has launched. That means a dozen backers have been sent surveys to make sure the system is working properly. Once some of these come in and we get the results we can launch surveys in full.

So, if you don't mind, check your email for a survey so we can make sure the system work. If you don't have one, don't be surprised. They only go out to 5% of backers for the test.

We'll keep you posted when we launch to everyone.

Thanks!

Post Campaign Week 14 - BackerKit Imminent
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 28, 2020 at 08:29:43 AM

Greetings!

Good news, BackerKit is almost ready to launch for this project. It is currently under review which can take up to two business days (in my experience much less). Once approved, no later than Monday, the "smoke test" will launch sending surveys to 5% of backers. Once I check to make sure things are running smoothly, surveys will go out to all backers. As soon as I get approval I will be launching so keep an eye out.

PRODUCTION NEWS

I've been working steadily away on scrolls. Here are the current finished numbers -

  • Arcane Eye - 275
  • Banishment - 275
  • Black Tentacles - 276
  • Blight - 189
  • Dimension Door - 202
  • Fabricate - 251
  • Faithful Hound - 152
  • Glyph of Warding - 0
  • Ice Storm - 156
  • Phantasmal Killer - 0
  • Polymorph - 0
  • Summon Greater Demon - 0
  • Wall of Fire - 0

Total - 1,776 (+349 since last update)

That means I am about 15 scrolls away from the halfway point of being finished! At this rate we are expecting to ship sometime in September, two months ahead of schedule.

DIAMOND d4

The DIAMOND d4 campaign ends in one week. Jump in and help us bring these 8-sided d4s to tabletop gaming. We are currently 80% funded and pledge levels start at just $12.

Dice pictured are resin prototypes.

Check it out here!

That's all for right now. I will post a BackerKit specific update once we launch in full. See you soon.

Cheers - Ed

Post Campaign Week 13

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

Let's jump right in.

PRODUCTION NEWS

At this point all printed scrolls have arrived and I've spent the better part of last week ripping the edges and starting the weathering process. I expect to have everything done and ready for painting within two weeks. Painting also continues although slowly. It will pick up once I'm finished weathering. Here are the numbers for this week -

  • Arcane Eye - 275
  • Banishment - 275
  • Black Tentacles - 276
  • Blight - 0
  • Dimension Door - 191
  • Fabricate - 102
  • Faithful Hound - 152
  • Glyph of Warding - 0
  • Ice Storm - 156
  • Phantasmal Killer - 0
  • Polymorph - 0
  • Summon Greater Demon - 0
  • Wall of Fire - 0

Total - 1,427 (+153 since last update)

BackerKit Update

I'm stalled on BackerKit. This is entirely on me and I'm committed to having it up and running by June 1st. Mainly it's figuring out the shipping and since that has been intimidating me, I've been avoiding it. No excuse. I'll get on it. Thanks for your patience. Rest assured this won't cause any delay in fulfillment.

DIAMOND d4

SkeletonKey has another little Kickstarter running right now. It's a simple reworking of the d4 into a more user friendly eight-sided-die. This is a project we would really like to see fund and the base pledge is only $12 + shipping. Please take a look and help us bring these dice to your tabletop. If nothing else you can watch the disturbing little video we made for it.

That's all for right now! Thanks for your amazing support and patience. We'll keep at it and keep you updated.

Cheers!
