Last 24 hours on Dual Powers.. Monsters is (mostly) wrapped.
over 6 years ago – Tue, May 08, 2018 at 12:46:36 AM

Hey team,

PROJECT CLOSE

I've heard from a handful of you since the last update who had some shipping issues.  I believe these are either resolved or there is a clear path to resolution.

So, I'm considering this campaign wrapped. It's been a challenging campaign for me, as this is the most KS backers I've ever had on a project, and the logistics of getting them in your hands was not an easy feat, but I feel good that people have received their game and are enjoying it (by all the tweets and Facebook posts I see).

If you are still missing your package and/or you need replacement parts, please reach out, and I'll do my best to care of it.

REMINDERS

My current KS project Dual Powers ends in 24 hours. It is now funded, and pushing for stretch goals. If you had any interest in it, now's the time to check it out. Remember that if you pledge to the project at $2 or higher, you'll be sent the Cursed Ring Roll Player promo card (no shipping charges).

.

To celebrate funding, we're GIVING AWAY TWO MORE limited edition art prints to two Dual Powers fans! For a chance to receive one of these prints, send an email to [email protected] (Subject Line: Poster Contest) during the next 24 hours (until May 8,2018 at 10:30am, CDT) and provide your mailing address. 

We'll notify the winner via email and post the winners on Facebook. Good luck! NOTE: If you already sent us an email previously and did not win a print the first time around, you are still eligible to win this time around. No need to send us a second email!!

Hey team,

I had a few things I wanted to update ya on, so here's the latest --

Shipping

Finally, it's looking like the Canadian and EU backers are starting to get their games. WOOT! If you still are waiting for your package, thanks for your patience. It should be coming very soon.

If you received your shipment, and something was missing (not an individual piece, but a full game box, etc..), please contact quartermaster at [email protected].

Replacement Parts

If you have damaged pieces, or pieces missing from your game, please let me know so I can send you replacements. -- [email protected]

Roll Player Loot

DICE TOWER: During the Polish crowdfunding campaign for Roll Player, they had an add-on for a wooden dice tower. I thought they were cool so I had e-Raptor make some for me to sell at conventions and on my website.They arrived this week, so I placed them on my webstore, if interested. I thought some folks would think they're cool too.

$20 + shipping

CURSED RING: During the KS campaign, some backers were looking for a way to get the Cursed Ring promo card that I released for the Man vs Meeple and Dice Tower crowdfunding campaigns last year. It's currently in stock at the BGG store. But, I wanted to provide an alternate way to get it.

Yours for $2 or more pledged to Dual Powers.

Games Rolling In... Next KS project for Thunderworks
over 6 years ago – Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 01:48:00 AM

Hey team,

It's been three weeks, so here's the update!

Shipping Update Per Lane

- AU / NZ -- You should have your games by now. If you don't, let me know.

- Asia -- Most backers should have their games. There may be a few remaining that had an additional forwarder required to get it to you. If you have concerns about your order, please let me know.

Canada -- According to Snakes & Lattes (fulfillment partner in Canada), by the end of this week everything should be shipped.  So, you should have your game by the end of next week.  Soon!

US -- Most backers should have their copies by now.  The orders that included the Meeple Realty insert were sent out. I spot checked a few, and it looks like people have gotten them. If you haven't and need you tracking number, let me know.

- EU -- Ah, GamesQuest.... :) These are finally starting to ship out. Some backers have received shipping notices. Others should be in the next few days. They're coming, but it's been taking a lot longer than I was hoping for. I appreciate your patience.

- Rest of World -- You should have your games by now. If you don't, let me know.

- International backers who ordered the custom Insert -- These were shipped out. If you haven't received it yet, know that it's on it's way.  International shipments can take an unexpectedly long time.

Accessories Available

If you missed the custom metal coins, the Frogkin character sheet, or the Meeple Realty insert and you want to get in on those, I have them available for order on my webstore now. Also, I had some player mats made, which help organize the cards on the table, when playing Roll Player with or without the expansion.  It can also be found in my webstore.

New Kickstarter Project

Today I launched the Kickstarter for the next game from Thunderworks -- Dual Powers: Revolution 1917.

It's a great game from Brett Myers.  We've been working together for the last year or so to really polish up the gameplay. I'm excited of this one! I'd invite you to check it out.

We're having a giveaway for the first 48 hours of the KS campaign, if you email [email protected] with the title "Poster Contest" and include your mailing address, you can win one of these great art prints of the Dual Powers cover with illustration from Kwanchai Moriya and graphic design from Luis Francisco!
