Project Update

Hello trusty backers!
I have been working steadily on the contents of this campaign and am making some solid progress. Below is an infographic with each of the elements from the project broken out so you can see which phase everything is in.
My plan for the zines is to start printing them as they get final editing approval from Walton. I have a couple of other things I need to print first, but the Crew Member Manual should be printed before the end of the month.
I received the prototype for the Time Tablez watches and they are sooooo good. There are a couple of small tweaks I made, but overall I am thrilled with them. I even got to use it in my game night Wednesday!!!
You can still add this on to your pledge in Backerkit!
That's it for this update, more news soon!

My apologies for the delay in getting Backerkit all squared away. There were a few things I missed that needed to be taken care of before being able to be sent to everyone.
You should now be receiving an email to fill out your survey, select any add-ons you want, and choose whether or not you want your zines with holes.
On Friday morning, I am going to open up late pledges to new folks, this will include the Time Tablez limited edition watch. If you know you want it, add it to your pledge before then.
As always, thank you for being awesome!

Smoke Test Error

Please DO NOT fill out the Backerkit Pledge Manager yet.
So with the whirlwind that is my brain right now, I missed adding the option for with or without holes. I have reached out for help with this and will post again when things are ready.

Smoke Test Sent!

Hello trusty backers!
The Pledge Manager smoke test has gone out to a small percentage of the backers.
If you received it, please fill it out and make your selections. You will NOT be billed until mid-February for any add-ons and shipping. Once about 80% of the smoke test backers fill out the pledge manager, I will send it out to everyone else.
Don't forget the Time Tablez!
I have limited these to 480 that can be purchased. After the survey has gone out to all backers, I will open up the late pledge store, and other people will have access to the watch. But I want you to have first dibs.
If you run into any problems, email me at brian at creaturecuration dot com.
Hope you have an amazing day!

A Month Lost

Hello trusty backers,
I am farther behind than I had hoped to be at this point in the project. On top of the holidays, I've had some struggles over the past month that have greatly reduced my productivity. I am going through an unexpected divorce.
Yesterday I went to therapy for the first time, and then filed the divorce paperwork to get things moving. Submitting the papers was surprisingly cathartic.
Today I am back to working on the Crew Member manual.
In January, I will get the pledge manager up and running. One of the new items that I will be adding to the pledge manager is a Vast Grimm Time Tablez! I have always wanted my own swatch-style watches. Hopefully, you will dig it as much as I do.
I apologize for the slight delay in this project. I will be getting it back on track.
Hope you have an adventurous and wonderful New Year's!
Brian
