Important Information about Backerkit

Hello everyone!
Just quick update to clarify something that I failed to explain properly:
'Original Kickstarter Backers' have a survey while 'Pre-Order Backers' don't.
Pre-order backers are the ones who made a late pledge on Backerkit directly.
Pre-order backers still need to reach out to Backer Support if they want to make any adjustments to their order items, while original Kickstarter backers can make adjustments on their own using their survey.
Both sets of backers can update their shipping address on their own.
That's it for the update!
Take Care!

Important Information about Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt
over 3 years ago

Hello fellow hunters!
I hope you enjoyed the adventure released yesterday!
Let's jump right in
Backerkit and Shipping Information
All the Backerkit surveys (to put your shipping information and/or modify your order) have been sent out.
If you haven't received your survey, here's what to do:
- Check your inbox's spam folder, the mail can get lost in there
- If you used something that masks your email address, such as an apple ID, you need to contact Backerkit support.
- If the shipping information feels off, or something is missing from your order, get in touch with Backerkit support, they'll sort you out.
Make sure to fill in using the email address used on Kickstarter, or to give that email address in the mail.
Updates
So far I've been doing weekly content updates, with new content to play-test each time. Thank you for your feedback on the surveys, it really allows me to adjust the content.
I intend to make these content updates weekly/fortnightly.
It's definitely good for me, as it keeps me on schedule to make sure everything is finished in a timely manner, and play-tested properly on top of that! (and this way I can give you all something to play with until the final release!)
Minis?
When I first launched Steinhardt's Guide, I decided not to do minis because it would add extra complexity to the project, something I wasn't sure I could handle.
I chose to err on the side of caution and decided to abstain, which, looking back now, I believe was the right choice. This project blew up and already has enough moving parts as is just from the sheer number of orders.
That being said, good friends of mine are running their own Kickstarter at the moment, Riftborne, which does contain a lot of minis, and they asked if they could do a mini for one of Steinhardt's monster.
They're only doing these 2 monsters of ours, but still, with creatures appearing in both books, I suppose that makes them part of the MCU (MonkeyDM Cinematic Universe).
I should probably use another name...
Bad jokes aside, their book, Riftborne, opens up rifts across the worlds to unleash terrifying monsters and epic multi-phase boss fights, each with its own custom map, minis, and if you want even more bloodshed, they also have an arena combat system!
If that's something you're into, because brutal boss fights are always fun, you should definitely check them out here, tell them I sent you ;)
Like I said, Steinhardt's Guide won't have minis, but they will, and they know what they are doing.
Anyway, that's it for today!
Take Care!

P.S: We thought about sharing the STLs, but decided against it. They're the ones who spent a lot of time designing the minis, so it's only fair that the models aren't given away for free here.

Steinhardt's Alpha Content Pack 1
over 3 years ago
– Sat, Oct 08, 2022 at 05:25:46 AM
Hello fellow hunters!
As I promised on Tuesday, here is the alpha content pack 1 for Steinhardt's Guide, which contains:
Alpha content means that most of what is on display here are the mechanical aspects of the content, more-so than the lore aspects. This is why most weapons don't have a lengthy description for example.
All of this is subject to change!
If you want to give feedback regarding any of the content, you can do so using this handy-dandy feedback form I made:https://forms.gle/CAdwU8D1pSKrqg9v6
I'll be taking feedback from the form, not from discord or the comments! So make sure to leave your ideas on there!
That's it for me tonight,
Looking forward to your opinions!
Take Care!

Steinhardt's Tiny Alpha Content Update
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Oct 05, 2022 at 07:25:17 AM
Hello fellow hunters, hope you are doing well!
As you know I wanted to release the alpha content update yesterday. Things didn't go as planned we couldn't fully test the new eldritch moon and the living nightmare subclass. We rescheduled and will have that finished by the end of the week.
But to help wait until Friday, I do have some content to give you!
Afterwards, on Friday I will release a new Eldritch Moon, alongside the Living Nightmare Fighter. I also wanted to release some monsters, which are completed.
I decided against it, because another one of the adventures is almost completed, and these monsters are part of said adventure.
So instead next week, I will release the new adventure, with the monsters inside it. Unless I get a ton of comments telling me to release the monsters on Friday as well.
That's it for this quick update!
Take Care!
P.S: I also have feedback forms ready, and will start posting them alongside the content starting Friday!
