The fulfillment system does not speak to the BackerKit side of things; that is manual work. We're working on that, but this particular project required Darryll to deal with the tracking info . . . and that is while staying on top of messages and a lot of other work. We are a small team.

Please understand that we're working just as fast as possible on shipping out the rewards. It is hard work that requires coordination and time; we can only accomplish so much in each hour.

Thank you! The creative team put in a lot of work on this and spent months making everything.

Got mine yesterday. It actually arrived Wednesday and my building manager had it until I got the notification it had shipped. But I have it in my greedy paws now.

First its massive. Can't remember the last time I paid $60 for a game and got so much.

Second, with the exception of the character folio which I was unimpressed by, everything seems to be of excellent quality and well printed. I'm specially fond of the megahexes, counters and the character pads.

Finally, and I want stress this, as a Backer I'm pleased that it came out on time with all promised content. I've backed too many things where the product arrived late or very different than the campaign promised. Also SJG should be commended for the steady stream of updates. It served to remind me it was coming and kept me updated on things. Others using Kickstarter to fund projects could learn a lot from you guys.

Thank you so much for brining this blast from my teen years back into print. I cannot wait to play TFT again.

Thanks for your support! Enjoy the game.

My brother and I will be playing this weekend. He's about 20 sessions into a sandbox campaign, the last three sessions of which have focused on an adaptation of Keep on the Borderlands (which I plopped into a corner of my 'big sandbox' space years ago and he finally stumbled across while traveling for other reasons). We unpacked the IWIA crate together yesterday and are super looking forward to our first session using the new hex tiles and counters, which I expect will be a really fun and unique experience in play.

I got my shipping notice last night at 10:31PM, man you guys work late. My package is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday. My order was for just the Legacy Edition and the Pocket Box, so this must mean they have finished (or close to it) shipping to the IWIA backers and moved onto the lower tier backers.

Looking forward to receiving my package.

Well, that would certainly explain it! Please don't think I was critiquing Daryll -- in fact, I was rather thinking that it was somehow FEDEX's fault. One tends to assume, in 2019, that EVERYTHING is automated in terms of information sharing. Kudos to Daryll for getting ANY notifications out, under the circumstances.

(BTW, if one can believe FEDEX's tracker, both packages are on the same truck for delivery today -- Christmas AND my birthday, all rolled into one!!!)

I got mine! Arrived before the ship notice. Man, that's fast. I'm trying really hard to not type in all caps right now because I'm super excited.
Everything is super high quality. Love the hard cover; super, super pleased about how nice that is. Love the dice in the Melee and Wizard boxes. They are very pretty- I am going to want more of these. The playmats are huge! And pretty pretty! Did Dyson of Dyson's Delve draw these? The art style looks very familiar.
All in all this is fantastic. Thank you for doing such a great job. I can't wait to see what you guys think up next.

okay, so I couldn't WAIT to get the Companion. It was delivered yesterday. Read the back cover, table of contents and started reading the first article. Now I can't read anymore of it. Oh, I want to, but also want to savor every last word of every article and don't know how else to make it last.

note to SJG: I think I speak for all of us, Keep new material coming.
