Pledge Manager Closes Next Week!
9 months ago – Thu, Feb 29, 2024 at 02:27:45 PM

Greetings, Imarians!

As we approach the final stretch of our Kickstarter campaign, we wanted to provide you with a quick update. With just a few days remaining, the pledge manager is set to close on March 1st. This marks the moment when your orders will be locked in, and your cards will be charged.

Once this phase concludes, we'll work hard to put the finishing touches on the stretch goals you all unlocked and get the production process underway. Throughout this journey, we'll strive to keep you well-informed every step of the way.

Should you encounter any difficulties completing the pledge manager, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at [email protected]. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we'll do our best to accommodate any necessary manual updates within a limited timeframe.

Other Lynnvander Games

Also, if you haven't checked out the pledge manager recently, you should consider giving it another glance. We've recently added various items from our Lynnvander store, created by our talented designers. While these may not be directly related to Imaria, they offer an exciting tabletop experience, and a great opportunity for backers in other countries who may have faced challenges acquiring our games through traditional distribution channels. Any additional games you choose to order through the pledge manager will be conveniently bundled with your Imaria items, allowing you to enjoy savings on shipping costs.

As always, we extend our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support. We're eagerly anticipating the next steps together!

BackerKit Surveys Coming Soon
10 months ago – Mon, Feb 05, 2024 at 07:13:36 AM

BackerKit Updates

BackerKit smoke test is going out shortly. This is a test that BackerKit does where they send surveys to a small number of backers to make sure everything is put together correctly before launching the entire pledge manager. Surveys for everyone else will be coming right after that. 

You will receive a BackerKit survey email inviting you to join BackerKit and finalize your pledge. If you don't receive one of these emails, the first thing to do is to check your spam box. It might have been filtered there by mistake. If you still can't find a BackerKit survey, please reach out to us and let us know. If you don't complete your survey, we won't be able to ship you your rewards!

Completing your BackerKit survey is crucial for us to ensure a smooth delivery of your rewards. If you encounter any problems with your pledge, feel free to message us directly on Kickstarter or email us at [email protected].

Pledge Manager Deadline

We plan to keep the BackerKit open until the end of February. On February 28th, we will lock orders, and credit cards will be charged. After this date, you won't be able to make changes to your order in BackerKit. You can still update your shipping address by reaching out to us directly, but please note that orders will be locked in BackerKit.

Card Charging

Cards will be charged shortly after orders are locked, so anticipate the charges to occur at the end of February.

Development Updates

Beyond BackerKit, we wanted to inform you that we are finalizing the stretch goal additions and preparing the books for layout. We will keep you updated on every step of this exciting journey, from sample approval to mass production.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. We're getting closer to bringing Imaria to life, and we can't wait for you to experience it at your gaming table!
