While you're filling out surveys and reading the content from the Soul of Trickery, I'd like to throw out there the pre-launch page for our next book, which will be fundraising in October! This will be similar in scope to this book, but will focus on other aspects of the same setting! Repeated support helps us continue making these books, so we'd appreciate the follow on the page!

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/nat19/d-d-5e-the-depths-of-charity-expansion-book/pre-launch

There will be more information posted about this book on the pre-launch page as it's furthur filled out, but I wanted to drop this here now to give everyone an early start while the Soul of Trickery was still on your mind~!

Though we're keeping the DTRPG integration open (and sending BackerKit feedback on how we believe it should be adjusted in the future), we're also adding direct downloads to the Digital Download section of relevant surveys, for all PDFs from this project. Once your survey is locked and add-ons/taxes are paid for, it will unlock and be available. This should help anyone having trouble with the DTRPG integration get their hands on the PDF as long as their surveys are up to date!

And on that note, we sent out the first survey lock email for those who have completed them. In two days your surveys/orders will lock, so please make any changes you need to by then! We'll charge cards once they're locked, and you'll get access to the direct downloads at that point. From that point forward, we'll be locking and charging them as they come in.

Please remember that these charges don't include shipping, which will be charged later!

They BackerKit surveys have been sent out! Please check them out, make choices for your add-ons and book covers, and complete them with payment info and addresses where needed to avoid delays! Please remember, these are not a checkout, and you will not be charged any outstanding balances immediately after hitting complete - we will push those charges at a later date (though be prepared for them!)

You will receive your PDFs through the Digital Downloads section once you are complete. If your BackerKit email isn't connected to a DTRPG account, it will create one for you and email you the details; if you have a different DTRPG account, you can merge them later. I've sent a message to BackerKit asking if there is an FAQ for this delivery method I can pass on, and am waiting for a response.

If you haven't received your survey, please check the link below:

Surveys for the campaign go out in four days! We're very excited to share them with everyone - please be sure to make sure your payment information is all correct, and you've paid for your pledge before they go out! 

We wanted to take this opportunity to also note that we'll be using a new feature BackerKit is implementing this month (we believe we're the first to use it), which should allow you to claim your DTRPG codes for your PDFs and VTT files directly through your BackerKit Surveys. This should eliminate the need for secondary emails with the codes. We're excited for it to get the PDFs into your hands as quickly as possible, but since it's a new feature on BackerKit, we also wanted to encourage anyone who has trouble with it to reach out to us once the surveys go out.

If all goes well, your DTRPG codes should be delivered in your Digital Downloads section.

As BackerKit continues to collect initial pledges and we prepare everyone's BackerKit surveys, we've very excitedly begun preparing our orders for all of the physical media for this project. Hopefully, we don't jinx it, but we're looking forward to a relatively quick turnaround, as far as crowdfunded TTRPG projects go!

I wanted to quickly dip in to let you guys know what choices you'll be making in the surveys. Below are all the products that will require choices to be made - if you review them and wish to purchase them (or want extra copies, like both covers of a book for example), you'll be able to add additional add-ons during the BackerKit survey!

Below are both of the covers for the Soul of Trickery. Everyone will be able to choose which they would like to receive during the survey. The secondary cover will only be available through this campaign (and limited overflow stock might be offered at conventions and such until it's gone).

Similar to above, those receiving the Paraprismatic tempest will be able to choose between the following two covers:

If you purchased the VIP Credit add-on to have your name listed in the book as a VIP backer, you'll need to submit the name/credit you want to use. There will be certain restrictions on this to avoid hate speech and unacceptable language. The credits will be featured on the interior cover credit page.

If you purchased the Soul of Trickery notebook, you will be asked to choose between four page types: blank, lined, dotted, or graph.

If you purchased a keychain, you will need to choose which class emblem/title you'd like.

If you ordered any of the print sets, you'll have the option to choose which ones you want - if you ordered the bundle, you will receive all six.

If you ordered any of these items, you can choose which designs you'd like (the examples below aren't indicative of their relative size - the game mats are quite large).

And finally, if you purchased a Soul of Trickery Shirt, you'll need to choose which size you need (S, M, L, XL. 2XL, 3XL)
