HOLIDAY MIRACLE: DIGITAL DECK HAS ARRIVED!

HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO YOU!
I'm workin' over the holidays to get as many of these digital rewards out to you as possible!
I just pulled the trigger on the DUNGENERATOR Series 1 Digital Deck (all of the room cards in .png format, for use with virtual tabletops) and the DUNGENERATOR Series 1 Print and Play (all of the room cards formatted nicely for a color printer and 8.5x11" paper)!
You should be getting an email from BackerKit with a link to your downloads!
If you have any issues with these files, please let me know! I want these puppies to be as lovely and useful as possible for you.
WHAT'S NEXT?
- Laser-printer-friendly DUNGENERATOR Series 1 PnP
- Instructions card for PnP versions
- Color battlemaps, formatted to 1" squares
- Laser-printer-friendly black and white 1" battlemaps
- Digital Token pack 1
- Digital Token pack 2
- Digital Token pack 3
- Digital DUNGENERATOR Series 2!
- GOBLINFINITE goblin generator!
- The Banana Suit.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE MEANTIME?
PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR SURVEYS!
I can't send files to the printers until I get enough surveys back to confirm manufacturing numbers for the two manufacturers, and there's still a substantial chunk of unreturned surveys out there.
Please make sure to check your spam folders for messages from BackerKit and fill those out as soon as you can!
Say Hi in the Discord!
The DUNGENERATORS Discord is where I'll be asking for ideas for the digital rewards still-to-be-made (token packs, Series 2, etc.), but it's also nice to have folks hang out and bug me.
EXPECT SURVEYS SOON!

Greetings!
I wanted to post an update and let you know about the DUNGENERATOR's progress!
I GUESS EVERYTHING TAKES A WHILE, HUH
With the scale of the project several times what I expected, I've had a couple of unexpected delays:
I had to wait 2 weeks (!) for the Kickstarter funds to hit my account so that I could afford to pay BackerKit their cut (so that they could send out surveys and charge shipping). Good news there: BackerKit has been paid, and the first surveys should already be arriving!
BackerKit recommends I send 5% of the surveys out before sending the rest, to make sure nothing's gone wrong. I'm pretty sure I set everything up correctly, so I'm guessing all surveys will be sent this week!
Both manufacturers are in a holiday crunch. This will hopefully not affect the manufacturing time, but it'll likely affect the fulfillment time for the EU manufacturer.
USPS is experiencing a huge surge. This is going to delay shipping. I don't know how much exactly, but I'll keep you up to date!
I had to self-isolate for 2 weeks for COVID. I don't have anything fun to say about this, but I'm okay!
HOW TO MAKE IT GO FASTER
Please check your email inbox and send those surveys back as soon as possible! Once I get the surveys, I can figure out how many decks each manufacturer needs to make and manufacturing can begin!
THE GOOD NEWS
Digital rewards are on track to be in your hands in December!
I've taken this time to whip up some custom icons and make some tweaks to the cards:
Dead End
Entrance
Secret Passage
Stairs
Treasure
(They will be much smaller on the cards, of course...)
QUICK UPDATE: BACKERKIT, LATE PLEDGES, SORTING DUCK
over 3 years ago

Greetings, everyone!
Just wanted to send out a quick update:
BackerKit surveys are set up and ready to be sent!
...But I need to wait on funds to pay BackerKit so that they'll send them out :-/
On that note, you should be getting notices from Kickstarter as they collect your pledge funds! Check your email if you don't see a notice on your payment card- they'll have you update your payment method and fix it.
It could take up to 2 weeks for Kickstarter to finish collecting funds. (This is so everyone has a chance to fix their payment info if need be.)
I've set up a Pre-order Storefront with BackerKit, so if you know anyone that regrets missing out on the campaign, point them here:
Our Discord server just got an upgrade: The Sorting Duck!
You enter a small chamber, furnished only with a rickety chair.
You sit down.
Wordlessly, a golem made of potatoes and iron clunks from the shadows and places a duck upon your head.
A metal tube extends from the ceiling.
"Do not be afraid," echoes a voice down the tube. "The Sorting Duck is quite professional and knowledgeable. We just need to do this for the Manifest. Tax purposes and all that."
The Duck examines you closely...
The Sorting Duck lets everyone pick a species and vocation for themselves while they hang out in the Discord!
LAST DAY! WHAT'S NEXT?

ONE DAY LEFT! TWO THOUSAND PERCENT FUNDED!
WHAAAAAAA!
I'm very grateful and excited (still, and forever) and just wanted to post a quick update!
Here's a rough timeline of what's happening next:
Campaign ends in 24 hours
Kickstarter starts collecting funds (it'll take 1 to 2 weeks)
Meanwhile, I start finalizing files
BackerKit surveys go out next week-ish (have to wait for funds)
Then I can figure out manufacturing amounts!
"WHAT CAN I DO IN THE MEANTIME?"
Well, it's still super helpful to share this campaign for the final day!
I'm cooking up a great little Discord server that folks are starting to hang out on - it'll be the place we suggest and vote on Dungenerator themes (and those extra digital rewards!), and I'd really like to have a little post-launch party on there!
THE END DRAWS NEAR!

A bit over 2 days left! Woooo!
You've probably heard this too much from me at this point, but:
I'm overwhelmed with the generous support I've received for this project.
The fact that so many of you have shown you want a little piece of my art and design in your lives means the world to me.
Thank you again and again!
If you know anybody else who might be interested in The DUNGENERATOR, please consider giving it a share- the better this thing does, the more weird projects I'll be able to bring to you in the future.
If there's one thing I know from making weird art and games, it's that they're not all this wildly successful, so having a bit to fall back on really helps me experiment with confidence!
On to fun stuff:
Jump in the DUNGENERATORS discord!
We're still getting set up in there, but it's shaping up to be a fun space to hang out, share art and Internet finds, suggest and vote on DUNGENERATOR themes, and maybe do a bit of impromptu roleplaying!
They're sticker-based, and let you build your favorite PCs in his unique style- such a good idea!
His illustrations and ideas are always inspiring, and he definitely knows how to deliver. I'm sure you're already clicking over to there, so enough said, I guess!
Shattered Hell minis!
I found these while surfin' around - just really cool, high-quality minis, available as either physical rewards or (if you're fancy enough to have a 3D printer) print-your-own 3D files.
Some of them look like they'd go great with my FRAGNAROK game (if you went so far as to use minis for it)! Just thought I'd share.
Okay, that's it for now. Can't wait for the big finish!
