4-Player Cooperative Dungeon Crawler in an Epic Sci-Fi Universe! Inspired by the cult classic video game!
Our palette was supposed to arrive last week, but arrived today. Nearly missed it, thanks to FedEx not informing us it was on the truck, but it made it! So, we'll be reaching out to arrange delivery to our local backers shortly!
Just a short note, some EU backers have their tracking info (and in a couple of cases, got their boxes), but formally, Gamequest posted today that they're shipping out and to give it a week for tracking number emails to arrive. We suspect that's standard, and the emails should arrive sooner. It would explain why some people have already gotten them - the boxes started moving before the weekly post went up. Side note, those who ordered t-shirts, if you didn't get them already, you should soon, so watch for them
Local backers and friends, the freight shipment with all our copies is headed this way - we still don't know how long it should take. The last time we had goods freighted to us from our fulfillment company, it took about week, so for the moment, we'll hold that in mind while seeing what news they can tell us.
Once they arrived, we will begin making arrangements to deliver games to everybody. This whole plan was originally intended to end in a launch party, but oh well, c'est la vie en... uh... pandemic?
Thanks everybody, as always.
Hello!
So, we just gave the thumbs up to the packaging the EU/UK/world fulfillment team are using, and we've been sent a list with tracking numbers, so presumably now or very shortly, people should be getting word of their packs being en route!
This just leave our Vancouver area backers - originally, we gave people the option to do a local pick-up, which we were going to use as an excuse to have a little party, do a little gaming... but, you know... pandemic. So, local pick-up is now more like local drop-off. The company / local copies will be hear shortly at which point we'll connect with our local backers to arrange how best to get their games to them.
Those who bought t-shirts, those are on their way separate, along with the odd fig, and replacement part. And once that's done, we'll have officially completed the campaign!
But that doesn't mean we'll be walking away from the game. We are working to get the game into gaming stores, and more immediately, we'll be keeping in touch here with people questions about the game itself. It's a big game, and we ran the rules through a lot of playtesters, but a few things have come up that need clarifying. The immediate thing will be we'll post answers to questions about rules here, as well as begin an FAQ. Long term, we might have a couple of ideas to help update your manuals at home.
Designer Martin Cirulis is also answering game questions on our Discord.
The Monster Track - the wandering track represents you wandering around, not knowing what things might be lurking in the dark. When you leave the floor, you leave all those monsters behind, and start a new track, with new monsters hiding in the dark. If you don't clear it, you'll have a bad bad time.
Stunned - If you get stunned in a fight, you have to fight another turn with the stunned modifiers, then it clears. If you get stunned and the fight is over, it clears after your next turn (move, loot)
Big Characters - The Warrior and Mercenary are big guys and take up two spots. They are not the equivalent of two players (meaning you can play them with three other characters), other than how much room they take up. For example, if either goes into a room, which has four spots, they take up two (and will draw the attention of monsters fixated on those spots accordingly), and two of the smaller characters can join them if they want. If both went in, they it's just the two if them in the room.
Hello everybody! We made it! Our fulfillment partner began shipping out the game today!
Some of you may have already gotten an email about your package. North American's should be getting notices and tracking info this week. UK, other overseas, and some local (to us) backers will be slightly longer, as their copies of the game are currently headed to partner companies in those territories. We are trying to find out about how long this should take, but as it doesn't involve a boat and oceans, it shouldn't be too long.
We're not done, we will be working on this with everybody until all pledge rewards are in hand - there are a few shirts left to send out, for example - but regardless, this feels like the milestone we have been pushing to get to and that you all have been cheering us on to reach. We could not have done this without your patience or support. We are so excited you all get to see the game!
More updates to come, but certainly none can measure up to this one, so congratulations to everybody, we did it!
Can't stop smiling,

Hey all,
Won't make this a big post. Our last update from the people handling the overseas shipping of the games is that the Jacksonville port they are at is experiencing a backlog, so we're just waiting for them to get their turn to unload, if they haven't already. We don't have many details beyond that, presumably the pandemic is involved, but we're choosing to look at the bright side, they didn't fall overboard into the ocean and they're so close to being at the fulfillment warehouse, [insert clever simile here].
This is a good opportunity to remind people though, if your address has changed and you haven't updated it, please do. This will likely be the last week we can send updates to the fulfillment partner without them [insert amusing figurative phrase for pained frustration here].
Thanks everybody,
The Kerberos Team
