Hi everyone,
Just a quick message to let you know that if you included any of the Alchemy RPG add-ons in your pledge, the codes are now available in your digital downloads.
You can see a reminder on how to access your digital downloads HERE, and you should have also been sent an email with a direct link to claim them.
In order to redeem the codes on Alchemy, head to the marketplace page and click on 'redeem code' in the top right hand corner.
You can then redeem each code individually, there is a separate code for each of the 9 books (or 3 books if you chose the Volume 3 Only Alchemy Add-on). The codes are in a text file available from your digital downloads.
That means the final digital rewards have now been sent out, on to the physical ones!
As always let me know in the comments below or via direct message if you have any questions or issues.

Manufacturing has begun + 2 new projects to check out!

Hey everyone!
Just a quick update to let you know that manufacturing has begun! We finalised the last few details and sent over the deposit to the factory a couple of days ago.
You might be wondering, if you are manufacturing already why are we not getting our orders until March 2025? The (very approximate) timeline for a perfectly smooth pipeline is 2 months for manufacturing, 2 months for freight shipping and 1-2 months for fulfilment, and we are targeting getting your orders to you later this year if at all possible, but we also know that at this point delays are very likely and entirely out of our hands.
There has also been a very severe spike in the cost of freight shipping in the last couple of weeks, sending it back up to pandemic levels. Fortunately we have included enough of a buffer in our calculations that should cover it, but if it continues to rise we may have a to delay freight a little while until it settles, which would also have a knock on effect to fulfilment timing.
Fulfilment prices also tend to rise substantially between October and January due to Christmas, again meaning we would need to wait for them to drop to normal rates. This means that even any slight delays can unfortunately set back fulfilment by several months.
All that is to say, we are doing our best to get it to you as soon as possible, but at this point its no longer in our control. We will continue to keep you updated any time we have new info to share, however updated might be a bit less frequent going forwards.
In the meantime here are a couple of other cool projects to check out:

Pre-order Complete Digital Bundle Links (and why you may have received an extra one by mistake!)

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update to hopefully avoid some confusion. It has been brought to my attention in the last couple of days that pre-order/late pledge backers were not receiving their 'Complete Digital Bundle' download links.
I have updated the digital download distribution system to fix this, so all pre-order backers should have received their downloads, but it seems it has also re-sent links to Kickstarter Backers that already have them.
If you receive a new download link/email for the Complete Digital Bundle (or any download labelled CDBXX) please note this is the exact same download set you have already been sent, you do not need to re-download anything.
Apologies for the confusion!

The Complete Digital Bundle has been sent out! First round of surveys are now locked.
28 days ago
– Tue, Jun 04, 2024 at 03:44:08 AM
Hi Everyone!
We have just arrived back from a fantastic weekend at UK Games Expo, thanks so much to those of you that stopped by.
As promised, we have just locked and charged all completed backer surveys. 85% of you have already completed them which is fantastic!
This means that you now have access to the Complete Digital Bundle (or the Volume 3 Digital Bundle if that was your only purchase). I have tried to answer some frequently asked questions below, but if you have any queries that aren't covered here, please feel free to leave a comment or message me directly.
How Do I Download the Content
You should have been sent an email from Backerkit with a direct link, but you can also find it by logging in to Backerkit with the email address the survey was sent to. Then head to 'Your Surveys':
Select 'Into the Wilds Battlemap Books Volume 3: Urban Edition' from the Your Surveys list. This will open a confirmation of your locked survey. Then click on Digital Downloads.
This will take you to a page with the download link, and instructions on how to use it.
Our downloads are hosted on MyAirBridge. If you are unfamiliar with the platform, there are instructions on how to use it here (start at Step 2).
I Haven't Received my Survey Yet
If you have not received your survey yet, please check your junk/spam folders and if it still missing, message me on Kickstarter and I will send you the link directly.
I Have Completed The Survey But Can't Access The Downloads
If you have completed the survey, but do not have access to the downloads it may because BackerKit failed to charge your card. You will be sent a notification about this from BackerKit if it is the case.
Most of the time this is caused by your banking believing it is a fraudulent charge and blocking the transaction, you can usually solve this simply by contacting your bank or checking your banking app/texts from your bank. Otherwise you may need to update your card details.
We will attempt to re-charge any failed cards every few days. As soon as payment has gone through, you will have access to the downloads.
What If I Need to Make Changes To My Survey?
You can contact us directly if you need to make any changes to your survey, but please note we have not locked Shipping Addresses yet, only orders. You can still update your shipping information if needed. We will let you know closer to the time when we will be locking those as well.
What About the VTT Content?
VTT content will be coming very soon! All of the modules are completed, but we have to lock surveys in order to get the final numbers to know how many redemption codes we need.
Once we get to around 90-95% of surveys completed (hopefully very soon), we will pass that information along to the relevant VTT platforms and as soon as we receive the codes from them we will send them out to you.
If there is anything else not covered here, please get in touch!
