Hey Roomlanders!
Backerkit surveys have now gone out, so you should have received your survey in the inbox of the email address you created your Kickstarter account with. Don't forget to check your junk or spam in case it has ended up in there!
You will be able to add any add-ons to your order that you want in the survey. Backerkit will have the amount you have already pledged on Kickstarter as credit against your order. Any add-ons you add at the survey stage will be an additional cost on top of that. Then Backerkit will calculate shipping for your entire order and that will be an additional cost also. If you have any questions about shipping and shipping costs please send me a direct message here on Kickstarter and I will look into it for you.
If you don't receive your survey in your email inbox, please send me a direct message here on Kickstarter or an email at [email protected] and I will send you a direct link to your survey.
Once you complete your survey your card will not be charged straight away. I will be charging cards in a months time, giving backers plenty of time to fill in their surveys. This will mean I will be charging the cards around the 20th May.
Patrons, please see the previous update for details about how the Patreon Discount will work.
If you have any further questions about the survey and Backerkit, please put them in the comments below. I will check and reply to every one.
thanks!

Surveys nearly ready and Patreon Discounts!
almost 4 years ago

Roomlanders!
The Backerkit survey is ready and we're sending out a "smoke test" which means about 5% of you will get an email from Backerkit with a link to complete your survey. You'll be able to test the survey and make sure there are no major issues. If you do find issues please comment on this update or email [email protected]
After we're satisfied that the survey is good to go we will open it up to everyone. If once the main surveys are sent out, for whatever reason you don't receive your survey email, send me a message either here or at the above email and I will send out your survey link to you.

Patrons! When you complete the survey you will see that there is a question that asks if you're a Patron, and if you answer 'yes' then it asks for your Patreon Username. Once I have received all survey answers I will check all the usernames of all those who said 'yes' against my Patreon database. Once all Patrons are accounted for, I will apply a credit to all Patron's Backerkit surveys of £5 (which is 25% of the cost of the book). This credit will be applied BEFORE I charge your cards so when you are charged you will be charged your total, minus the £5 Patreon discount. Hope that makes sense, feel free to ask me any questions about this in the comments on this update.

The book is very nearly complete now and I am currently talking to my printer to get the book ready to print. Very exciting times! Once the book artwork is done, I will need to complete work on the Job Packs and the DM Screen but I will keep you updated all along the way.
Not long to wait now Roomlanders!
take care

Work is progressing nicely...

Hey Roomlanders!
Quick update from me just to show that I'm still here, working away on the book! With only a handful of illustrations left to do and sections to write, it is very nearly there! It's shaping up really nicely and I'm really proud of it. Cannot wait until it is in all of your hands!
Next thing you will hear from me will be about the Backerkit surveys. They will be going out very soon, and when they do I will put out another update out so you know to go look for it. If for whatever reason yours doesn't come through, drop me a line here or at [email protected] and I'll get your link sent out to you.
With these surveys you will have an option to add any more add-ons you might want to your pledge and also you will need to pay for your shipping.
Patrons will have an opportunity to say that they are patrons in the survey and input their Patreon username. Backerkit will then grant a credit/refund against your shipping costs to give you reduced shipping (as thanks for all your amazing support!). I'm still working out with Backerkit exactly how this works but I'll let you know before you receive the survey.
Right, that's all for now,
take care Roomlanders!

WOW WOW WOW!! We did it! Thank you so much for all your incredible support, taking this campaign to levels I couldn't have even dreamed of. You're all the best!
There's not much more to say so I'm going to leave it there and take a bit of a break, before coming back to start completing all the work and getting it all made!
As always, I will keep you updated all along the way, sharing sneak peeks and works-in-progress, I can't wait to share everything with you all and have you exploring the Roomlands in no time!
Thanks again team, you really are the best!

24 HOURS TO GO!

Hey Roomlanders!
This is just a quick update to say thank you for your incredible support and kind words and interest in the second Colostle book. It fills my heart that people enjoy my work and are keen to see the next book in the series, and it creates a very real chance for a future for me and my artwork and game design.
At the moment I still have a day-job as a Graphic Designer for an agency in the UK and devote all of my spare time to making Colostle and my various other personal projects. It has always been my dream to be able to make a living off my art and creativity, and thanks to you all that might actually be possible in the near future. With the support shown for these 2 Kickstarters I have been able to build a product base that might allow me opportunities to take Colostle even further, not only making awesome new stuff for you all, but also supporting me in the process! This is truly what I think Kickstarter is all about... so thank you.
We are so close to hitting £40k! If we can get there before the end of the campaign I will add in an illustrated DM-screen which will have a handy quick reference of all the encounter and combat tables, so that when you're playing you don't have to flick through the books quite as much. This will be added FOR FREE to anyone who pledged for a physical reward.
Thanks again team, you guys are the best!
