The Choice of Magic - Illustrated Deluxe Edition

Bookmarks Ordered!
8 days ago – Wed, Nov 13, 2024 at 07:05:57 AM

Hi everyone!

While we wait on the new proofs for the art prints to come in, we wanted to check in and let y'all know that we got the bookmark designs finalized and ordered earlier this week! With the holidays around the corner it will likely be several weeks before we get them in, but once they arrive, we'll be sure to take some pictures!

In the meantime, here's a quick reminder of what they're going to look like.

Art Print Proofs Have Arrived!
23 days ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2024 at 06:41:34 AM

Hi everyone!

We've got an exciting update for y'all today. We just got the proofs for the art prints in! Take a look!

Overall, we're really happy with how they turned out, but we want a bit more foil on the print that features the cover art (right). So we've taken that one back to the drawing board a little and have sent our printer a new design. They'll be sending us a new set of proofs, so once we get them we'll share them with y'all!

Art Prints Ordered
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 10:24:39 AM

Hi Everyone!

It's the first update out after surveys have been sent, and we're off to the races! Starting with the art prints, which we've just ordered and should have initial proofs in hand shortly! So long as we don't need to adjust the files we sent over, we typically expect to get those a week or so from our order date. Once we have those in hand we'll share some pics with everyone, so stay tuned!

Remaining Surveys Going Out!
2 months ago – Mon, Sep 16, 2024 at 11:11:11 AM

Hey there, folks!

The smoke test over the last few days was successful so we'll be sending the remaining surveys out this afternoon. It may take a little bit for Backerkit to process them, so we appreciate your patience!

Just to reiterate a couple of the tips from our last update, if you don't see your invite email show up by the end of the day today, please take a look at the following:

• Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. If you don't see anything come through from Backerkit check your spam folder first.
• Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this:  "[email protected]".  If you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email address looks like one of these. If it does, we recommend that you first change that email in Kickstarter so you avoid any future issues.
• Once you've checked both of those things send us a message here or send an email to [email protected] to let us know what your updated email address is.

Going Forward

Here is what you can expect in the coming months as we work on fulfilling this project.

• First, please remember that we operate on a 12-14 month production and fulfillment schedule.
• As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us at least twice a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
• Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
• With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. ❤️

First Batch of Surveys Going Out!
2 months ago – Fri, Sep 13, 2024 at 06:03:38 AM

Hi Everyone!

We're just about ready to start sending out surveys, but the last piece of that process is what's called a smoke test. To do this, we send out surveys to about 5% of backers to make sure everything in Backerkit is working as it should and that we haven't broken anything. We'll be conducting this test over the next 24-48 hours. If everything goes well, you can expect the rest of the surveys to go out by Monday at the latest!

While we do that, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

• Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. Once we announce that all surveys have gone out, if you don't see anything come through from Backerkit check your spam folder first.
• Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this:  "[email protected]". Again, once all surveys go out, if you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email looks like one of these. You can try contacting Kickstarter support to change that, though we've seen backers have mixed results.
• If either of the above situations is the case, or you can't find your email invite at all, either message us here on Kickstarter or send an email to [email protected] to let us know and we'll get that straightened out for you.

A Note on our Support Availability...

There are a couple of us that monitor support emails and messages on Kickstarter. We'll introduce ourselves in a future update, but for the moment we want to fill y'all in on our availability.

We work 8am-4pm EST, Monday-Friday, excluding all US Holidays. If you contact us here on Kickstarter or via email you can expect us to reply in no more than 3-5 business days at the absolute latest— though typically much sooner than that.
