Hey everyone!

The DUSK reprints have arrived and I've finished putting together the final backer packages. Those will get dropped off tomorrow, and that will be that!

As a friendly reminder, if you have any questions about your pledge, such as where a tracking number or PDF is, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll get back to you.

There are just a small handful of folks who still haven't filled out the survey or fixed their errored cards. I'll be checking the Backerkit once a week for the few weeks to see if they get resolved. Help me help you get your books!

Thank you all for helping me make NEST a reality. Some folks have already sent me pictures of their books in hand, and that really does mean the world to me.

If you want to continue to support my design work, believe it or not, I've got another crowdfunding campaign coming up in two months!

LOOT is a fantasy TTRPG inspired by my love of west marches campaigns and looter shooter loot systems. Build your character one piece of loot at a time in this diceless fantasy RPG. The best part? I've got an incredible team of over 13 guest writers making awesome content for the game, including loot, factions to work for, and enemies to fight.

LOOT is crowdfunding on Kickstarter, so please check out the page and click that button to follow the campaign! We would love to have an explosive day 1, and that requires your help.

And with that, this is the final update of the campaign! Go take flight into the Dusk and slay a Hellion warlord. The Corvus Dominion is counting on you.

Hey everyone!

The books arrived just before the holiday, and they look great! I've been spending the last couple days packing up orders and getting things ready to ship out.

1. Today I'll be dropping off about 75% of the pledges to the post office. You should have received an email from PirateShip with your tracking number. There was such a high demand for DUSK add-ons that I needed to order a reprint, and so those should be arriving at my place soon so that I can finish sending off the remaining orders. We're on track to fulfill on time!

2. Just now I sent out the keys for the add-ons. These will come as emails from itch.io, so make sure to check your inbox and spam folder for them! You'll receive a separate email for each add-on you included, so if you added more than one game to your order make sure to look for multiple emails! At the bottom of each of those emails is a link to claim your copy of the game. Click that, claim the game to your itch account, and the PDF is all yours! And by attaching it to your itch account, you'll always have the most updated version of each game, as well as receive any devlogs or updates I make for them.

If you haven't received a tracking number, one of these situations might explain it:
1. Check your spam, it could be there!
2. You didn't fill out the survey yet.
3. You filled out the survey, but your credit card of file errored, and that needs to be fixed.
4. Your card was charged, but you're part of the group with DUSK add-ons that are waiting for the reprint. Be patient, it will be arriving soon and you'll get your tracking number when they ship!
5. Some other unexplained error, we'll figure it out.

If you're concerned about your pledge, or have any questions, the best way to get ahold of me is email. Backerkit's notification system for comments is horrendous, with some comments not hitting my inbox until days after they are posted.

So, if you have any questions, EMAIL ME: [email protected]

As we're in the final stretch here, there will be one last update when the last of the books are out and we can officially wrap up the campaign. Hope you enjoy NEST!

Hey everyone,

The books are on their way from the printer! That means I'm locking down the orders on Backerkit in 48 hours. Double check your information and make any last minute add-ons that you'd like!

After that, orders will be locked and cards will be charged. It's important in this time to keep an eye out for any emails you get from Backerkit. Sometimes cards are declined during this step, and if the payment isn't taken care of, I can't get you your book.

I'll send pics of the books when they arrive, but it's exciting to be in the final stretch!

Hey everyone!

I just published NEST on itch.io, and that means the PDF is officially released! You should have received an email from itch with your download link. If you don't have an email, first check your spam folder. If you still don't have an email, check to make sure you filled out the Backerkit survey. If you haven't, you haven't gotten your PDF link sent yet. When you fill out the survey, I'll get you the PDF.

If you have filled out the survey, and still can't find the email, shoot me an email! Reach out at [email protected] and I'll get you the code when I can.

Those who have the email, make sure to check the bottom of it to find the download link.

Couple things to note with the release of the game:

That's it for this update! Next one will be about the books shipping out next month. Thank you again for making this game a reality, now go read NEST!

Hey Birds,

The Backerkit survey has now been sent out to everyone! Make sure to check your inboxes and spam folders to find the link.

It's important that you fill the survey out as soon as you can, so that we can get your game to you in a speedy manner. Also, make sure to check any declined/errored cards. Shipping payments that don't go through mean I can't send you your book!

I've just finished looking over the PDF file that Mike sent me and it looks incredible! I've got some sample spreads here for you to check out.

That means the file will be up on itch very soon, and everyone will be getting their PDF copies when that's done. The files will be sent to the printer and books will be shipped to you next month when they arrive at my place.

We're about a week behind our intended schedule right now. My grandfather passed a week and a half ago, and so I've been overseas spending time with family. We should still be mostly on track to hit our fulfillment timeline, but if we're off a little, I hope you understand why.

That's it for now! The next updates will be informing you of the PDF release of the game, the printed books arriving at my place, and the final wrap-up. Until then,

-Spencer
