Small Fulfillment Updates and A New Podcast Episode
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 06, 2025 at 03:47:12 PM

Hello Everyone,

We've got some Fulfillment News and a New Podcast Episode. Let's jump into it.

Fulfillment News

Keep an eye on your email: Once your order has shipped, tracking numbers will be sent in an email from BackerKit to the email on file.

If you have any issues with your order, please send us an email at [email protected] and we would be happy to assist.

EU Fulfillment (includes Ukraine)

Now that Book-Only orders are complete, save for the orders with the Free D20s, fulfillment is on hold while we await the other items' arrival.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The remaining items are working on making their way across the ocean. The items need to be shipped a certain way for VAT and customs processing, so we are working with our fulfillment partners to make this as seamless as possible.
We have two different shipments headed to our fulfillment center in Germany right now.
Once we have a good ETA for those, we will provide it in an update to the project.

If you need to update your shipping address at all, please send us a Kickstarter DM or an email at [email protected].

UK (and Rest of World) Fulfillment

Now that Book-Only orders are complete, fulfillment is on hold while we await the other items' arrival.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The remaining items are working on making their way across the ocean, and we have been given an updated rough estimate of arrival set in mid-July.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

If you need to update your shipping address at all, please send us a Kickstarter DM or an email at [email protected].

Australia Fulfillment (includes New Zealand)

Our Australian fulfillment center has been shipping Book-Only orders, and should be uploading tracking numbers into BackerKit as soon as possible as they fulfill orders.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The remainder of the items are being shipped in one big shipment to our fulfillment center in Australia, and they have been coordinating the shipping from our printer to their warehouse on their own.
As soon as we receive a good ETA for that shipment, we will provide it in an update to the project.

If you need to update your shipping address at all, please send us a Kickstarter DM or an email at [email protected].

US Fulfillment

Our US Fulfillment Center is still chipping away at the Book Only Orders.
Keep an eye on your emails for tracking information if you have a book-only order!
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The other items are working on making their way across the ocean, and the estimated arrival has, unfortunately, as of yesterday, updated to mid-July.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

If you need to update your shipping address at all, please send us a Kickstarter DM or an email at [email protected].

Canadian Fulfillment

We have signed a deal with a brand new (to us) Canadian Fulfillment Center, as you may have read in our previous updates.
This will allow us to mitigate the tariffs and retaliatory tariffs that may have otherwise applied to your orders when being shipped from the US to Canada.

In order to stock the new fulfillment center, we have a few different shipments headed there.
The biggest one, with a majority of the Obojima items on it, is currently estimated to arrive roughly in mid-June.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

If you need to update your shipping address at all, please send us a Kickstarter DM or an email at [email protected].

New Podcast Episode: New Ranger Subclass

In this week's Podcast: Episode Sixty-Two, Adam, Ari and Jeremiah sit down to talk about the Fumoshiki Ranger and their organization, the Konotori. Join the writers and they talk about Fumoshiki's sacred sacraments, Strange rituals, the goal of this ancient organization, and the Roleplay-centric ranger subclass. 

Watch the full episode on:

As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

STLs, Fulfillment Updates, Product Photos, and New Podcast Episode
10 months ago – Fri, May 23, 2025 at 03:31:21 PM

Hello Everyone,

The STLs are out, we've got some Fulfillment News, and a New Podcast Episode. Let's jump into it.

Fulfillment News

Many of you have been receiving your books!
We are so glad to hear that, please tag us or send photos/messages to us; we want to hear what you think.

Keep an eye on your email: Once your order has shipped, tracking numbers will be sent in an email from BackerKit to the email on file.

If you have any issues with your order, please send us an email at [email protected] and we would be happy to assist.

EU Fulfillment (includes Ukraine)

Much of Book-Only fulfillment is complete, save for those with the Free d20 on the order, as there was a small delay with the shipment of those.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The other items are working on making their way across the ocean. The items need to be shipped a certain way for VAT and customs processing, so we are working with our fulfillment partners to make this as seamless as possible.
We have two different shipments headed to our fulfillment center in Germany right now.
Once we have a good ETA for those, we will provide it in an update to the project.

UK (and Rest of World) Fulfillment

Much of Book-Only fulfillment is complete, if you have an order that is just the book and stretch goals, you should have received a tracking number this week!
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The other items are working on making their way across the ocean, and we have been given a very rough estimate of arrival set in early-July.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

Australia Fulfillment (includes New Zealand)

Our Australian fulfillment center has begun shipping Book Only orders, and should be uploading tracking numbers into BackerKit as soon as possible.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The remainder of the items will be shipped in one big shipment to our fulfillment center in Australia, and they have been coordinating the shipping from our printer to their warehouse on their own.
As soon as we receive a good ETA for that shipment, we will provide it in an update to the project.

US Fulfillment

Our US Fulfillment Center is still chipping away at the Book Only Orders.
The community that our fulfillment center is in was hit by an EF-4 tornado last Friday night, and while the warehouse itself is unharmed, some of the workers and the surrounding community were affected, so they slowed down slightly in shipments last week, but should be ramping up again as the community recovers.
(Note: This is regarding Kickstarter orders, not BackerKit pre-orders. Pre-orders will be shipped out once Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.)

The other items are working on making their way across the ocean, and it is still looking like the estimated arrival is set at the end of June.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

Canadian Fulfillment

We have signed a deal with a brand new (to us) Canadian Fulfillment Center, as you may have read in our previous updates.
This will allow us to mitigate the tariffs and retaliatory tariffs that may have otherwise applied to your orders when being shipped from the US to Canada.

In order to stock the new fulfillment center, we have a few different shipments headed there.
The biggest one, with most of the Obojima items on it, is currently estimated to arrive roughly in mid-June.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!
A smaller shipment, containing the Free d20s, Playmats, and Cassettes, arrived on Wednesday (May 21).

Product Photos

In the meantime, here are some "Proof Of Life" images one of our editors took for us. (He took that phrase literally!)

STLs Are Officially Out!

That's right, as of this week, the STL Files for Obojima have been sent to everyone who backed them during the Kickstarter. Now you can finally start building and painting your pack of Howlers.

You should be receiving an email from BackerKit to download the supported and unsupported STL files for the 5 Obojima creatures. 

We would love to see your take on Obojima creatures and are looking forward to seeing your paint jobs in the Discord. 

FREE Vending Machine STL

For those who didn't back the STLs, you can still get into the fun by printing and painting your very own Obojima Vending Machine, which was sent to all Kickstarter backers!

10K Subscriber Special!

Thanks to you, the amazing community, we hit 10k Subscribers on YouTube. To celebrate, the writers reacted to some of the community homebrew put out on the Discord. You can check out the full video below!

Fulfillment Updates (UK & Australia Beginning to Ship) and a New Podcast Episode
11 months ago – Fri, May 16, 2025 at 04:24:27 PM

Hello Everyone,

We've got some Fulfillment News, the Obojima album is now on Spotify, and a New Podcast Episode. Let's jump into it.

Fulfillment News

Many of you have been receiving your books!
We are so glad to hear that, please tag us or send photos/messages to us; we want to hear what you think.

Keep an eye on your email: Tracking numbers will be sent in an email from BackerKit to the email on file.

If you have any issues with your order, please send us an email at [email protected] and we would be happy to assist.

EU Fulfillment (includes Ukraine)

Much of Book Only fulfillment is complete, save for those with the Free d20 on the order, as there was a small delay with the shipment of those.
The rest of the items are working on making their way across the ocean. The items need to be shipped a certain way for VAT and customs processing, so we are working with our fulfillment partners to make this as seamless as possible.
We have two different shipments headed to our fulfillment center in Germany right now.
Once we have a good ETA for those, we will provide it in an update to the project.

UK (and Rest of World) Fulfillment

One small shipment has arrived in the UK containing Movie Posters, Free d20s, Playmats, and Cassettes, while the books were already there.
This means that the UK can begin shipping Book Only orders (and some that contain those other items) while we await the other shipment's arrival in the UK.
Our fulfillment partners over there have told us that they plan to begin shipping on Monday, May 19th.
Once we have a good ETA for that other shipment, we will provide it in an update to the project.

Australia Fulfillment (includes New Zealand)

Our Australian fulfillment center has also received a shipment containing Movie Posters, Free d20s, Playmats, and Cassettes, while the books were already there.
They should have begun shipping Book Only orders this (Friday 5/16) morning "with the aim of completing them by the end of the day on Monday," according to our contact there.
The orders in BackerKit won't receive tracking right away, as the fulfillment center have informed us that they won't be uploading the tracking information until these orders are complete, so they can bulk upload. Apologies for the delay with the tracking information! 

The remainder of the items will be shipped in one big shipment to our fulfillment center in Australia, and they have been coordinating the shipping from our printer to their warehouse on their own.
As soon as we receive a good ETA for that shipment, we will provide it in an update to the project.

US Fulfillment

Our US Fulfillment Center is steadily chipping away at the Book Only Orders.
They handle fulfillment for many different companies, so they have to balance their daily shipments between those companies.
Since they restarted shipping (after receiving their ordered boxes), they seem to be averaging roughly 150 of our orders a day. 

As for the other items, shipping to the US has been a bit complicated, but we have been given a very rough estimate of arrival set at the end of June.
Believe us, this is much later than we wanted, but this is the best that our shipping partners could do given the circumstances.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

Canadian Fulfillment

We have signed a deal with a brand new (to us) Canadian Fulfillment Center, as you may have read in our previous updates.
This will allow us to mitigate the tariffs and retaliatory tariffs that may have otherwise applied to your orders when being shipped from the US to Canada.
In order to stock the new fulfillment center, we have a few different shipments headed there.
The biggest one, with most of the Obojima items on it, is currently estimated to arrive roughly in mid-June.
As this changes, we will do our best to keep you updated!

Music On Spotify, Fulfilment Update, & New Podcast Episode
11 months ago – Fri, May 09, 2025 at 02:15:31 PM

Hello Everyone,

We've got some Fulfillment News, the Obojima album is now on Spotify and a New Podcast Episode. Let's jump into it.

Fulfillment News

EU Fulfillment

We have started book-only fulfillment in the EU! It took a while, but it's finally happening.

UK (and Rest of World) Fulfillment

UK and Rest of World book-only orders have begun to fulfill, but the fulfillment team is having issues with Brazilian orders getting lost in transit, and despite us not having many Brazilian orders, this seems to be holding up the first wave of books from fully going out and fulfillment picking up speed while they figure this out. Kellie is working with the UK fulfillment team to get fulfillment moving aside from Brazilian orders.

Australia Fulfillment

We are still working with the Australian team to get fulfillment set up and started. As we get more news we'll be sure to let everyone know right away.

US Fulfillment

Progress on the US side is still full steam ahead for book-only orders!

Canadian Fulfillment

With the new plan to move fulfillment into Canada to avoid Canadian backers having to deal with Tariffs, we're in a holding pattern until the books arrive in Canada. 

Music on Spotify

We have finally got the Obojima Album up on Spotify! 

Full Album Here!

New Podcast Episode: Fish Master Subclass? 

In this week's Podcast: Episode Fifty-Nine, Adam and Jeremiah talk new subclasses. Join them as they discuss what a fish summoner subclass could look like in the world of Obojima.
