International Backers and Refunds
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Nov 12, 2021 at 01:03:45 AM
Hello, Backers!
I know most of you have stuck with me through thick and thin and I can’t express how much I appreciate all of your support since day one. This project has had both positive and negative effects on my life (and my family’s) over the past 3 years now. Since our initial funding in October of 2018 (followed up by evacuation due to a category 5 hurricane) all the way to here-and-now, I've been amazed at your compassion and your support for each other and this community, no matter what seems to be going on around you. And there has been SO MUCH going on.
It's truly a wonder to be a part of this. I remain committed to giving back to everyone who's been so kind to me through all of the small company growing pains, unforeseen business challenges, and dealing with Real Life on top of it all.
With that in mind I've come to the following conclusion: International backers need to be refunded so that they can be made whole.
Why a refund?
This wasn't an easy decision to make. First, because a lot of work went into this, and I really wanted everyone to get what they pledged for. Second, because of the Real World finance issues involved and the lack of funds to make it happen. I did everything I could to deliver your products; after all those stressful financial gymnastics, I reached a painful but inevitable conclusion: refunds are the best option going forward.
I will make good on these refunds. As you can surmise, it's going to be a slow process.
Even with the deluge of new issues and increased prices brought on by Covid and other worldwide situations, the price we originally sold our books for is still a valid figure. But the shipping we had charged originally has become – through no fault of ours - so outlandishly different that we can't bring ourselves to ask for you to cover such a vast cost increase. We tried to find ways to make the cost more affordable to ourselves, but we've been flat-out drowning because of it. We've finally crossed a threshold where it's more affordable for us and more responsible to you for refunds to be made mandatory.
How long will this take?
There’s no point sugarcoat this: it probably will take quite a while. Some of you will begin to see refunds in a month or two; others might not see the last refunds go out for up to a year or more from today. The reason is simple and it's the same thing that got us to this place... lack of funding.
We plan to address this by continuing to visit conventions and expanding our business, by running Kickstarters that we can guarantee will be fulfilled to backers in the USA in a timely manner, and by moving products that have been delivered to backers onto digital or print-on-demand platforms to widen our reach. Every penny that we made in the last year - EVERY PENNY - has gone towards trying to refund or ship outstanding packages to backers.
Now we're going to start shifting all of our profits away from the lost cause of shipping and into the more viable avenue of refunds.
Can we still get your products elsewhere?
Yes, there are 3 options available to you listed from best to worst.
1. Print-on-Demand
For more affordable options you can try print on demand services such as Lulu or DTRPG which offer our products. These services can directly print our items in multiple countries (you'll have to check and see if this works for you or not) and thus lower the cost of fees and shipping down to something totally reasonable for most customers. It's still hit and miss on whether your country has access to those printers.
The two current places that the Tome of Magical Mystery is available via print-on-demand are
It is possible to get our products directly from us with reduced current shipping using our Etsy store where shipping matches current cost, although that is still insanely high. A recent customer in Greece who purchased $50 worth of cards paid over $94 as his total after taxes, fees, and shipping. We cannot pay Etsy directly for shipping only and thus only items sold right now on Etsy are available through their contracts for their reduced shipping fees.
This doesn't help us ship things in general, it just allows us to ship items sold on Etsy for far less than if you were to purchase them on our website. Etsy does go ahead and charge everything needed for your country including VAT so there will be no surprises when your items arrive. We take extreme care when packaging items for long distance travel. If there is something you wish to purchase from us through Etsy and you do not see it currently available on our store, please let me know and I'll make it available for you.
This one is the most straight forward and the worst option at this point. You can have us look at all of your pledges across all of our projects and anything not yet delivered we can calculate exactly what it's going to cost to package and ship your products to your country. This method would have to be paid 100% in full at the time of shipping so we could afford the packaging and the cost of shipping.
Unfortunately, if you previously paid for $20 shipping, we are unable at this time to discount that previously paid amount from your package shipping cost: it's simply not available. Although this option is the fastest way to get your products, and we're happy to do this if you request it, know that this cost is the highest before you request it. Also, understand that other complications can arise with VAT fees needing to be paid by you upon arrival to your local post as our Stamps.com account or local shipping offices don't allow us to pay that for you before the product leaves the USA. That can change depending on location – sometimes it will automatically calculate this in and other times it requires you to pay your post directly.
4. Extremely Generous Forfeiture
This is an open option for any backers interested in simply declining their previous pledges, rewards and or refunds that would be coming your way. I've been asked by a few people about this option before, it IS available with a massive thanks if you want to go that route.
Well, where do we go from here?
That one is simple, my friends...
ONWARD!

More Info About The Adventure
We've built what we think is a zany, funny and FUN adventure that you can sit down and run with 4-6 friends in about 3 hours. You can bring your own characters but keep in mind that this adventure is balanced for Level 6 characters. A smart and careful party of level 5 adventurers can survive with intelligent planning while level 7 characters will still find plenty of challenges if they try to simple rush through and take everything on at face value :)
In this Christmas one-shot the players will be playing an elite hit squad of elves sent on a secret mission from Santa. The mission is clear, infiltrate Krampus’s evil workshop and put an end to his evil doing in time to save Christmas. This is written as a stand-alone adventure, but it could easily be added into your campaign by having Santa request the help of the existing party or introduce the mission by whatever plot hook you decide.
We're using this as a way to judge interest in this quality of drop in adventure for your games so please leave comments here or share reviews on reddit or other social media sites and help us spread some free Christmas cheer! If you like what we've done then you can look forward to us reaching further into this type of output for your games that would be available through multiple sources including Roll20!
Have a happy holidays and may you enjoy many adventures in the new year! We'll see you on the other side when 2021 has arrived!
Onward!
