Update from The Game Crafter

I know that in the larger scheme of the current health crisis, this is a minor issue. Still, it’s very unfortunate that I have to announce that The Game Crafter, which is the company I’m using to print and distribute 52 Dragons, will be shutting down for 3 weeks due to the outbreak.

This will, of course, continue to delay shipment of the game and I apologize for this bad news. My bigger concern, however, is everyone’s safety. Looking at what’s going on in New York and a few of the larger cities in the US, as well as Italy, Spain, and several other countries, we know that slowing the spread of the COVID-19 should be everyone’s highest concern. I wish The Game Crafter and their employees the best and hope that their business will not suffer as many others have during the crisis.

Again, I’m so sorry to report this, as I know a lot of you have spent money on 52 Dragons and have been patiently awaiting shipment. Stay healthy, stay indoors, and let’s hope this is all over soon.

Kickstarter orders placed!

I sent in the bulk order request to The Game Crafter for shipping the Basic and Deluxe Sets to the Kickstarter backers.

This is pretty exciting.

As soon as the Kickstarter orders have been fulfilled, I’ll be going public with the game on Amazon, The Game Crafter, and anywhere else I can list it.

I’ll keep everybody up to date here, as well as all the social media sites.

Thanks for your support and I can’t wait to make this game happen!

We did it! 118% funded.

52 Dragons is funded and will be available for purchase soon on The Game Crafter and Amazon.

Wow, I can’t begin to say how thankful I am for all the support and encouragement I received throughout this process. This was not only my first Kickstarter campaign, but also the first game I’ve designed.

I’m so excited to see 52 Dragons get funded. The funds raised with first be used for fulfilling the rewards to the backers.

The game is nearly complete. I need to finish the revisions of the instruction manual, and then have everything proofread. After that, it should be ready to print and ship. I’m shooting for late-January at the earliest, or mid-March at the latest.

The remaining funds will be used partially for marketing and sending copies to reviews. I also have several expansion packs planned and will be designing a new Special Edition Card each month, which will be available in various tiers for our Patreon patrons.

All of the updates will be listed here on the website, as well as on on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks again for your support. It means the world to me.

Kickstarter Update: 76%

Great news so far. We had a couple of big days and are over 3/4 of the way there now.  As of this writing, we’ve got a total of $2291.00 (76%). There are only 10 day left, however, so I’m still getting a little worried. Any shares are appreciated!

Thanks again for your support 🙂

Kickstarter Update: 67%

Wow, it was very exciting to cross the $2000 threshold today. The campaign is half over now and we’re 67% funded. I’m hoping that’s good news, but we still need nearly $1000 to get this thing funded.

To everyone who has backed the game or share the KS, thank you so much. Hopefully I’m back tomorrow with more good news 🙂

Kickstarter Update: 64%

Back for another update on the Kickstarter campaign, and it’s a great one. We had a really great weekend and are nearly 2/3 of the way there with 16 days remaining.

Thanks for your support, and please continue to spread the word.

Hey everybody! With 20 days left in the campaign, we crossed the have-way mark and closed out the day at 52%. Just awesome.

At $1567, we still need another $1433 to get funded, so please continue to spread the word.

Thanks and have a great night 🙂

Kickstarter Update: 43%

Slowly but surely, as they say. We’re at $1319 of the $3000 (43%).

In somewhat related news, I hung out with the local game designer group in Omaha tonight and had a great time.  A couple of them are launching a big campaign soon, so I’ll share it here when it it goes live.

Otherwise, thanks for your support!

Kickstarter Update: 41%

Well, good news after yesterday’s blunder.  We got four new backers and reached 41% with $1254 of our $3000 goal.  We’re approaching the half-way point.

I’m starting to believe we may actually see this thing through.

Thanks for your continuing support!
