Status Update 1/20/22

Greetings Voyagers!

Min here with an update. It's been a while since you've heard from us, and you're likely wondering what we've been up to.

First, let's get the bad news out of the way. My partner, Sam's mother passed over the holidays, and he's been stuck in Massachusetts for close to a month now trying to settle affairs. While attempting to get everything settled, he came down with Covid and was housebound for over a week. He's vaccinated, thankfully, and has gotten over the infection now, and is getting back to it. We're not sure how long the process will take, but things are moving again.

Until Sam is back and has had a chance to mourn, we're not going to be making any big moves on Aether Adrift. 

That said, we are still making moves.

We've been going through and tightening up/adjusting our rules in preparation for an internal playtest. We've got a whole heap of notes pertaining to rules and fluff that we're in the process of either solidifying into canon, throwing in the bin, or saving for later. Once we've gotten a few test sessions done, our intentions are to open the playtest rules up to the public to get some real stress testing.

We're not entirely sure how we're going to go about it yet, but we're likely going to be looking for volunteer GMs to run games for their own groups, then give us their feedback.

To all of our Shaper backers, we'll be reaching out to you to discuss your inclusions when Sam is done settling his affairs.

That's all for now Voyagers!

Happy Holidays, Upgrade your Pledge Tier, Backerkit asking for Card Info
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 30, 2021 at 04:33:04 PM

Happy Holidays, Voyagers!

We hope you're enjoying yourself in a safe and responsible way during this 2021 holiday season. We're taking it easy ourselves for the holiday, so this update will be brief.

You can now Upgrade your pledge level

Our sincerest apologies for not having this feature enabled from the beginning. We weren't aware of the feature when we launched, but it should be enabled now. For those of you that have not completed your survey: the option can be found under the big green "Get Started" button.

For those of you who have already completed your survey, we are unsure if the option is available. Once Backerkit staff return from their holiday break, we will contact them about this.

"BackerKit is asking for Card Info for Digital Only shipping"

We have been made aware that the BackerKit survey is asking for backers to enter credit card information for shipping on digital only rewards and add-ons. We are not sure why it is doing this, and we will be contacting BackerKit about the issue once they return from their holiday break.

We believe this may be related to the fact that we aren't taking Shipping fees until next year, but we have no way of being certain until we hear back from them. We will return with more information on this strange situation in the near future. 

We thank you for your patience.

Voyager Command, Signing out.

Surveys Are Going Out!

BackerKit Surveys are On Their Way!

Now that Kickstarter has released the project funds to us, we will be sending out the BackerKit surveys. If you don't see your survey right away don't worry! We're sending a small number of surveys out first as a smoke test to ensure that the survey questions don't have any errors in them.

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://aetheradrift.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://aetheradrift.backerkit.com/faq.

Voyager Command, signing out.

Late Backing is Open! Surveys Going Out Next Week!
almost 3 years ago – Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 08:38:56 AM

Late Backing Is Now Available

If you missed out on the Kickstarter campaign, you now have the option to pre-order Aether Adrift and the various add-ons through our Backerkit Late Backing Store, which you can find at the link below.

Aether Adrift Late Backing Store

Keep in mind that Shipping and Handling fees will be collected at a later date. Our current estimate for collecting shipping fees is December 2022.

If you backed the Kickstarter Campaign, do not purchase anything through the Pre-Order store. When the surveys go out, your pledge will be credited to the late backing store so you can choose your add-ons.

Backer Surveys should be incoming around the 23rd of December.

That's all for now, Voyagers.

Surveys and Late Backing coming soon!
