Alright everyone, save for a few stragglers, we have gotten most of the surveys back. I initiated the process to lock your orders which will happen in 48 hours. Once that happens your payment method will be charged (unless you used PayPal, in which case you already paid!).
If you are seeing this notice late, and you missed the survey, send me a message and I will get shipping worked out for you.
Now for the fun stuff...
Patrick finished Fear Factory and has moved on to The Three Faces of God. Here is a page from the freshly completed FF:
We hope you like Maggie as much as we do! (Expect to see more of her...)
Now that Patrick is done with FF I have sent it over to Toben for letters, as well as the Henrik Variant Cover which was finished earlier today! Our plan is to get everything sent to the printer by the end of the month, with digital rewards getting sent out around that time as well.
See y'all again soon!

Thank you to everyone who has gotten your surveys in! There are only 5 days left before the pledge manager locks, so if you haven't done so yet, please get your Backerkit surveys in so that we have your shipping information!
As a quick manufacturing update, last night I placed the order for the maps of Odessa, as well as the bags/boards and comic mailers.
Patrick is almost done with the colors for Fear Factory, and then we just need to finish Three Faces of God!

Surveys coming out

Hey everyone!
You should start to see surveys in the next few days. Backerkit requires 5% of backers to get a survey first so we can troubleshoot any errors and those were just sent. Once we get a few of those back everyone else will get theirs!

Surveys sent! And an update for how we handle shipping/pledges in the future.

Hey everyone!
Surveys have all been sent, so be sure to check your emails and fill those out. You have until the 18th to finalize your pledge with any add-ons and then your card would be charged the following day on the 19th.
If you did not get a survey, be sure to send me a message and I will get you the link for survey recovery.
Going forward, I don't think we will be using Backerkit for shipping and add-ons in future Discordia campaigns. Based on early feedback, being charged shipping in Backerkit wasn't people's preference, and there have been a few issues with how that was handled (on my part) that have made the process not as user friendly as I would like.
I decided to do it this way, in the beginning, for a few reasons: (1) to help with not over-inflating our funding progress, (2) to allow add-ons easier, and (3) to allow local pick up for the backers we know in person. Recently Kickstarter has begun to allow add-ons natively during the campaign which removes that need for a pledge manager and will streamline the process, and as most people want to pay shipping upfront, it makes Backerkit redundant from a backer perspective, and this is an added expense for us. So on the next Discordia Kickstarter, expect to pay shipping upfront when you pledge, and to be able to add extra issues/addons during the campaign.
Thank you all for the continued support and feedback. If you have any issues with the surveys or shipping fees, please send me a message on here so that I can resolve that for you. Some people aren't seeing the local pickup option. If I cannot get that fixed, I will PayPal you back your $5 when you get your comics.
Thanks,
Kris
