All Surveys Have Been Sent!

The Pledge Manager, as well as the Pre-Order Store for folks who missed the campaign, are now live! Thanks so much for your patience in the last month.

We also want to clarify something. In the post campaign update we mentioned the possibility of extending the GM Screen and Gelatinous Goo Dice stretch goals into the Pledge Manager. After carefully considering the logistics, we decided that it just wouldn’t be feasible. But we still want to make the screen and dice available to you, so we are offering them as add-ons AND we’ve discounted them for backers!  

Check out the amazing GM Screen art by John Loren!


We also have Dungeoneer Adventures and all 3 volumes of Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo available as add-ons, in addition to many other goodies. Be sure to check everything out on offer.  

If desired, you can easily switch your pledge level by clicking on "Switch your Pledge Level" at the start of your survey under the "Get Started! green button. Here is a screenshot:


Thanks so much for your support throughout the campaign. For any questions or concerns, please send us a note at [email protected].

Pledge Manager Surveys Out to Backers THIS WEEK!
about 2 years ago – Tue, Sep 13, 2022 at 03:28:24 PM

Friends,

Smoke rises over the horizon! Do you see it? Is it an omen of things to come? YES! Yes it is.

We are about to launch our Pledge Manager Surveys smoke test. This means that roughly 5% of you will receive an email asking for you to come to the Pledge Manager. Once we check results in a day or so and everything looks good, we will press the LAUNCH button and it will be sent out to the rest of you*!

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked diligently to make sure we had all the information in the Pledge Manager 115 percent accurate for each of you.

There is still more work to be done before we can get the books, screens, dice, and meeples into your paws, but we can hardly wait.

If you have any questions, concerns, or amazing Eem sandwich recipes, please send us a note at [email protected].

Until the next update, adventurers!

*Retailer Backers! We are waiting on additional information from our manufacturer before sending out your surveys. We will update you on delivery when we have this info. Thanks for your patience!

Post Campaign Status Report #1
about 2 years ago – Thu, Aug 25, 2022 at 09:49:21 AM

Friends,

We know you are all wondering what has been happening behind the scenes since the campaign closed. The simple answer is, a lot of stuff! Here are some brief highlights.

The folks at Exalted Funeral have been working on setting up the Backerkit Pledge Manager and Pre-Order store for everyone and the good news is that it should be ready soon. They will post an update in the next week with the date you can expect to start receiving the post campaign surveys that will collect your address and give you the opportunity to purchase add-ons!

Editing is well underway on the Core Rulebook, Bestiary and Sandbox. And all the artists and writers creating the lovely stretch goals are hard at work building amazing, compelling, funny content for your table.

James, Ben, and friends have been posting actual plays of Land of Eem every week on their YouTube channel. Check ‘em out! And be sure to join the community by heading over to the Land of Eem Discord!

Thanks again for being a part of Land of Eem. We are energized by the outpouring of excitement about this project and we are counting the days until we can get this world to your gaming table. We could not have done it without you. You are the best.

See you in the next update!

Post Campaign Celebration!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Aug 11, 2022 at 07:57:48 PM

Friends,

We did it! We just finished the Land of Eem Backerkit Crowdfunding Campaign and Ben and James have something they want to say:

First, we can't thank you all enough for pledging your support. It means the world to us to share Land of Eem with all of you, and the response has floored us. We managed to hit the $240K stretch goal (an adventure by Luke Gearing) right at the end, which is amazing!

We also want to thank the Exalted Funeral team for publishing the game and really expanding our reach. We definitely couldn't have done this without their support and expertise. 

We created the first stories that would become Land of Eem almost exactly 20 years ago. That started with the story of Rickety Stitch, which wouldn't get published as a graphic novel series until 2017. It's been a long journey of ups and downs for all things Land of Eem, but working on the RPG has been a constant labor of love ever since we started developing early designs in 2014. And we never imagined that we'd have the opportunity to share the game with so many people.

So again, thank you so much for your generous support! We're super excited to get the finished product into your hands. 

Now for a quick campaign update:

In the next few weeks the Backerkit Pledge Manager will open up and be sent to you via email for post campaign surveys. This is where you can tack on any of the add-ons that you have been hoping for, upgrade your pledge to a higher tier, and pay for shipping. This will remain open for 30 Days. After that, your order will be locked in, and soon after that production on the physical items will begin, if they haven’t already.

Okay, are you ready for some amazing news? 

After a lot of discussion we have decided to invest more in what we are giving you, the backers of this campaign. Even though we didn’t quite make it through all the goals, we are going to break open the locks on the last Adventure PDF by JP Coovert and the remaining Rascal meeple. That’s right, we can’t bear to think that you won’t get all this amazing content, so we are going to just give them to anyone who has supported the appropriate pledge level. This includes people who upgrade their pledge in the post campaign orders. We’ll also be making the meeple set a purchasable add-on.

The dice and screen are another story, however. We really want these to be available to everyone. Even though we didn’t make it all the way to the goals, we are going to extend those stretch goals through the Backerkit post campaign sales through the pledge manager.

More information on how that will all work to follow.

See you then!
