Prepare Yourselves. All Surveys Sent!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Dec 05, 2022 at 11:17:14 PM

Dear Draconis Invasion Backers, 

I am very grateful for your patience. We have sent surveys and modified the timelines so you have time to check, change, add on, and pay for your pledges. 

 NEW TIMELINE

Surveys are out and about! You will find the in your email within 24 hours. I will repeat some things to watch for so the process is smooth and clear. 

HOW CAN I STILL CHANGE MY PLEDGE LEVEL?

• Clicking on your Pledge Level will make a menu appear. Then choose "Switch Your Pledge Level".
• Or you can click "Switch Your Pledge Level" below the "Get Started!" button.

You may then change to a higher level and get all the goodies from the Kickstarter.

Plus all the Add-ons are available also. Contact us for questions about upgrading your pledge.

A special rate of $7 CAD (= $5 USD) has been offered for LOCAL PICKUP. This is ONLY AVAILABLE in Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, Calgary, and Cambodia.

You must select "Local Pickup" when you choose your location/country in the survey. Then we will confirm your location after the survey.

Local Pickup Locations:

• Downtown Toronto - Snakes and Lattes Annex 
• Mississauga - LVL UP Games 
• Calgary - Hexagon Board Game Cafe 
• Cambodia (Phnom Penh) - To Be Announced 

SURVEYS ARE DUE DEC 30th - We hope to close the pledge manager in about 4 weeks, allowing us to begin production in January, and still plenty of time to ship game to your doorstep by summer 2023.

RETAILERS GET WHOLESALE PRICES

If you are a retailer, please contact us for the pre-order the items you want. You'll get your shipment with all other backers and a 50% retailer discount off MSRP. Minimum purchase of one case (4 units) of the Base Game. This reward is for verified retailers only. Retailers may also contact us directly at [email protected]

EARLYBIRD TOKENS

If you qualified for the 48-hour Earlybird bonus, you will find the Dragon Tokens in your cart. If you see credit of $13 CAD, it is because you accidentally pledged for the Dragon Token pledge level in the first 48 hours. We have changed your pledge level and added these tokens to your cart and given you a Credit of $13 CAD. You may use this credit for anything, including add-ons and shipping fees.   

Test Survey - Sent!

Technical Difficulties Solved

After watching tutorial videos from the support team at Backerkit, I've finally managed to get the pledge manager finished! I'm not so tech savvy these days. The Backerkit model sends out a "Smoke Test" email to 100 backers first, to see if they can respond without mistakes. If all works smoothly, I will send the survey email to the rest of the backers.

If you received the Smoke Test survey, please fill it out immediately (by Monday) as we are testing for any errors.

Monday, if there are no big issues to fix, we will send out all the surveys.

Play Sessions In Mississauga

I am in the GTA for a few months and trying to arrange play sessions with backers. If you are interested in joining a session, PM me and let's try to make it happen!

Probably meeting up at LVL UP Games. 

BACKERKIT Reward Surveys Coming! Keep Your Eyes Peeled.
about 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 08, 2022 at 02:37:02 AM

Thanks for your patience. You will all receive a reward survey via Backerkit within one week. Please keep your eyes open and check your Junkmail, just in case. Backerkit is approving the details as we speak and should take a few days to allow us to send it out.

I personally apologize for the delay on the surveys. The add-on/shipping configurations were more complex this time around in Backerkit. It took me the a ton of confusion and the help of a software engineer friend to walk me through the mess. Thanks Jason!

We have set the shipping prices almost exactly as estimated in the original KS Campaign.

40mm Power Tokens + Paladin Art + Surveys Coming!
about 2 years ago – Sun, Sep 18, 2022 at 03:32:08 AM

Chunky Power Tokens

We have a great update about the Power Tokens for the GLORY Expansion (Premium Edition). We decided on the 40mm tall, metallic BRASS colored dragon heads. We tested factory samples of 3D-printed tokens at 40mm, and got them in the mail the next day! 

This token is for all of those who pledged for this special level. (Earlybird backers include the first 48 hours, which is for Backer #952 or lower).

Paladin Art

Guest Artist Mitch Mueller illustrated the Paladin Champion! This Champion allows a player to gain +1 card to their hand equal to the Terror Count. This player benefits from a high Terror number and transforms it to their own immediate benefit!

Survey Coming

This week we will send you the Reward Survey. Look out for an email from Backerkit! We will include the ability to UPGRADE your pledge and add more "Add-On" items (depending on your pledge level). Please make sure that your address and your payment is all correct. 

Sleeve Add-Ons

We will even include options for SLEEVES again! The people at Sleeve Kings will supply these add-ons. These sleeves fit our game cards well and are affordable and durable.

Mission Success + Next Steps!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 31, 2022 at 10:36:58 AM

Victory!

Many thanks to you all for making this a successful campaign for GLORY!  With 1,409 backers and $132,629 CAD, this was our most successful Kickstarter ever and it is all thanks to you! 

In the last bit we unlocked the $130K Stretch Reward for a new Champion illustrated byMitch Mueller.

The poll to vote for the next character was super close, but the winner is the "Paladin" Champion card. The artist has begun sketching Paladin concepts! Here is a peek. 

With your help we unlocked a ton of special rewards! Check out this complete list!

POWER TOKENS ARE BIGGER!

To all who will be getting the Glory Premium Power Tokens, we have exciting news! We have ordered samples for bigger tokens. We are not confirming the size yet, but we will send another update when we get the physical samples to determine what works best.

COLOR OF TOKENS

There was a tight race between BRASS and GUNMETAL for the tokens.  We appreciate all the comments and votes. We agreed with many who explained that the darker gunmetal would mute many of the details for the Dragonhead. In the end BRASS was the winner of the poll! We think these will look amazing!

Backerkit Surveys Will Come Soon 

Here's a quick rundown:

• 1. First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds for the next 2 weeks.
• 2. Second, we’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect your shipping information. We’ll give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can.
• 3. If you need to change your add-on items or update your shipping information, you can do that when you get the Backerkit survey.

PLAY SESSIONS

Here are vids of the game with some new GLORY cards. The first one was LIVE on Twitch. You can watch whatever you missed here!

Every session I play at my house has lately included the new Draconis Invasion Soundtrack. We love it! Next time you play, try it out in the background and let us know if it improves your gameplay.

 We thanks you for all your support. We can’t wait to ship you Draconis Invasion and the expansions!

Sincerely

- The Draconis Invasion Team
