We Are Funded!

A huge THANK YOU! You all are AWESOME! Again we have done it. It took us 20 days but we are here. I am so excited to see these bad boys completed!

Here Are The Final Counts

Here are the numbers for all you collectors out there who really want to know the final counts:

• Kickstarter raised: $68,278
• Backer Count: 661

Production Order Count: These are the numbers I am giving to the production managers.

• Kraken Parley STANDARD Deck - 300
• Kraken Calypso FULL FOIL Edition - 300
• Kraken Coxswain GILDED Edition - 70
• Kraken Signature Set - 1500
• Kraken Trio - 300
• Kraken Metal Card - 260
• Kraken Calypso FULL FOIL Uncut Sheet - 25

What's Next?

• The BackerKit Surveys are coming in 14 days: I will be sending out an update when I deliver your surveys. Please fill out the surveys and get it back to me as soon as possible or else I can not send your rewards since I won't have your address. I will also send out instructions for fulling out your surveys.
• Playing Card Production has already started!
• Production ends in November
• Gilding Ends: Beginning of December
• Shipping Starts: In January, at the latest February

Of course these are all estimates. I will be sending out regular updates in the next couple of months to keep you all up to date.

Failed payments

In the next 14 days Kickstarter will be processing your credit cards. Sometimes your card fails. This happens for all my projects. It's normal. Most of the time it is due to expired cards.

If your pledge is good, you will get a confirmation email. If not, Kickstarter will help you with an email saying that the pledge was not collected and should guide you through the process of fixing the issue.

You have one week to fix it. If Kickstarter does not collect the pledge during this time, it will drop you from the project.

No Worries Though...

BACKERKIT TO THE RESCUE! I am using BackerKit this time around, which will allow you to recover your failed Kickstarer pledge. You will be able to fix your survey in a couple of weeks.

When you complete your survey, you will be able to:

• Confirm the accuracy of what you pledge for
• Add-on to your pledge (All prices are the same)
• Enter your shipping address
• Fix your payment if it did not work with Kickstarter

Thank you all again for being such awesome supporters.

Hey everyone! Happy Monday!

I just released the Calypso Full Foil Uncut sheets. Only 25 will be pulled from production before the cut phase. These are great for display purposes.

They will be placed in a round tube before fulfillment.

The Jolly Roger has been going great! Thank you all for your support of this Campaign. We have only about 6 days left before this part of our journey ends. 

Sincerely,

Jody Eklund

Hey all,

We are just a week in and sitting pretty sweet with funding. I am really looking forward to getting these made for you all. In fact, I have already started the process. Since, the cards have been sampled, production can start soon!

Numbered Cards

Many of you have requested some pics of the numbered cards, so I have posted some examples on the main Kickstarter page for Jolly Roger Kraken. I am posting that here too.

As you can see, these are not your normal pip placements. I have been having fun with that. Hope you all like!

Have a great week and thank you all for your awesome support!
