Pledge Manager - 1 Month+ Update
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 04:50:57 AM
Hey Effincooligans,
Your friendly neighborhood EffinEd coming at you with an update on the PM after a little more than a month of being open. Last we reported the top 10 minis, here's the current top 10, with 2 "Groups" making the list this time around!!
- Mithral Dragon
- Weeping Treant
- Female Alseid
- Shadow Fey Enchantress
- Kobold Wizard
- Virtuoso Lich
- Kobold Alchemist
- Bearfolk Troupe
- Ratfolk Wizard and Mercenaries
- Abominable Beauty
To date, 88% of backers have compleed their surveys and 68% of the backers are choosing add-on's in the pledge manager! So far 17,428 minis have been confirmed with at least another 1,000 if everyone completes their survey.
Incomplete Surveys and ALA CARTE Pledges
One quick note, there are 21 backers who started their survey but still have information to complete, whether it's your address or payment information. Several have selected add-ons which are not included in the 17,428 figure noted above. We have enough information to make our molding plan based on quantities ordered of each figure, but wanted to note this because some people may believe their survey is complete, but it actually isn't just yet. In addition to that there are still 14 ALA CARTE pledges/surveys outstanding.
Locking Orders and Charging
For those who haven't used PayPal, we will begin Locking Orders and Charging Cards to order materials in September. The mold material, printer resin, mold resins and metal will be calculated to start making physical pieces and to get this project into production and out the door. We've learned quite a bit from our last project in terms of injected resin molding and hope to have many less (though probably not zero) problems as we move into making these pieces.
Stay Effincool!

Pledge Manager 48 Hour Update
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Jul 08, 2022 at 06:42:18 AM
Hello Effincooligans,
Your friendly neighborhood EffinEd here for an update after the first two days of the pledge manager.
So far, 61% of you have completed the surveys and we appreciate that so much. It's added another 2500 pieces to the project so far.
Also 50% of our backers so far have purchased add-ons so why not give you the Top 10. As of this minute and in order from 1-10
- Mithral Dragon
- Shadow Fey Enchantress
- Weeping Treant
- Female Alseid
- Puffinfolk
- Kobold Wizard
- Virtuoso Lich
- Abominable Beauty
- Kobold Alchemist
- Empty Cloak
I also wanted to thank everyone who messaged early on telling me of any issues. For some reason the Gearmass wasn't available to anyone, it appears that it's working now. We forgot to activate PayPal on this project so it's now active as well, that was actually done within the first couple of hours of going live. And finally, we're keeping the pledge manager open through August.
If you find any other issues, we can do what we can to work them out.. send me or John a PM and we'll get working on it.
Thank you all for your support!
Stay Effincool,
Ed

Quick Update on Pledge Manager
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Jul 01, 2022 at 08:43:47 AM
Hello Effincooligans,
Wanted to post a quick update on the Pledge Manager. We promised additional miniatures from TOB III to the project that can be purchased on BackerKit. In doing that we also found out some of the miniatures were re-named in TOB III versus what we had been given for the original names. It's a small thing, but we're waiting for a preview copy of TOB III so that we can address and name accordingly. We're trying to avoid something we've done two different times now.. Calling the Kobold Miner the Kobold Trapsmith... and the Tosculi Hive Queen the Tosculi Warrior.
We do appreciate the patience and we have not forgot about the pledge manager.
Stay Effincool,
Ed
Pledge Manager Update
almost 4 years ago

Hello Effincooligans,
Your friendly neighborhood EffinEd here with a great update.
A little while back we did the smoke test and it has been successful. If you were part of that smoke test, you'll want to read this too!!!!!!
The reason for the delay to go fully live, is that we've wanted to get the miniatures that Kobold Press used in their Kickstarter into our Pledge Manager for this project. Now that both campaigns are done, they've agreed to just that.
We need to get them individually rendered and into BackerKit so that those who want minis from the upcoming Tome of Beasts III Bestiary can get them from us if you didn't back and select miniatures from their project. If you did back their project, you're not out a thing, we'll be the manufacturer for that as well and this will allow us to work out both projects at the same time!! Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
I hope you find that as exciting as we do! That's another 19 miniatures available to you as add-ons. Once we get those into the pledge manager, we'll go FULLY LIVE and of course announce it here!
Stay Effincool,
Ed
