First update of 2024: We're off to a great start! 👻👻👻
10 months ago – Mon, Jan 22, 2024 at 03:22:28 PM

Creative work on the new episodes and new pop-up rooms has begun!

Writing: our A-list writing team (a.k.a. Jules, Gabe, Elisa, and Viditya) have outlined their episodes, and all we can say is your gaming group is going to be on some wild rides!

Paper Engineering: Renee Jablow, our top-tier paper engineer, has completed the enormous Fogmoor Facade, and is moving onto the Dungeon mockups. 

Illustration: The world-famous Bill Tiller, who's illustration style really defines the Shivers universe, is now working on the Facade die line illustrations for each 3D panel. 

Sneak peek at progress on the Fogmoor Facade pop-up!

We wanted to tackle the most complex pop-up first, so Renee has made great progress on the insanely awesome Fogmoor Facade. This 22" high/wide 3D masterpiece will fit into your Shivers game box! 

Is it the largest in-box component to ever loom menacingly over the world of tabletop gaming? Maybe. We can't think of anything more huger. Here's the latest mock-up, final artwork is in development. 

IMPORTANT SHIPPING REMINDER: some of you missed our holiday shipping window

A few dozen of you who backed either the Core game or All-In pledge levels missed our pre-holiday shipping window. If that's you, PLEASE take 5 minutes and fill out your BackerKit pledge manager. You'll need to input your shipping address, as well as pay for shipping. 

On February 15th we will lock those orders and reship a new batch of Core games to this group. We cannot hold your Core game until the new expansions ship in 2025, so this is your chance to get your Shivers core game + the expansion 1 & 2 pack!

Check out some incredible fan art: custom standees!

Shivers fan Tony Vernola threatened to create some new Shivers standees in our Comments section, and boy did he deliver. Take a look at some of his amazing creations below, we're interested to learn about their names and unique backstories/abilities. 

Pretty cool, huh? If you have any Shivers creations to share, please let us know or tag us @TheShiversGame . 

That's it for this month's update, Shivers fans. Wishing you all a great new start to 2024, and hope it brings you joy, games, and laughs in whichever corner of the world you are in.

Holiday Shipping Update:

Just a quick update today for those of you here in the US who have Shivers Core Games shipping out before the holidays. Quartermaster has confirmed that today they are all being shipped out from their Florida warehouse via FedEx Ground. Yay! We wish the games safe travels as they make their way towards your doorsteps.

For those of you in Canada, a freight shipment is being sent up this week as part of a larger caravan. 

That's all for now. Happy Holidays!

Core Games Shipping Next Week!

For those of you who backed The Shivers Core Game or the All-In tier, this is an update about when to expect your first shipments for the holidays. If you pledged at the Triple Terror tier, you can ignore this notification. 

Quartermaster Logistics is having a very busy time of year with lots of games shipping out, and this delayed our pre-holiday shipment a bit. But we're next up in the queue, and we anticipate shipping will begin next week. 

As soon as we have more detailed information, we will share it with you in a new update. 

The Creative Team is Off and Running!

Paper Engineering: Renee has been constructing a mockup of the large pop-up Manor facade, and it's coming along nicely! Photos soon.

Episode Writing: The writers are putting pen to paper (or keys to laptop?), developing initial story outlines for their episodes. 

That's it for this week, we'll be back next week with more shipping news!

Last chance to receive your Shivers Core game before the holidays!
12 months ago – Tue, Nov 14, 2023 at 12:02:00 PM

The cutoff is tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov 15) at 5 pm Eastern!

If you are a Core Game or All-In backer, please complete your BackerKit pledge manager survey before the deadline. This will ensure you get your Shivers Core game sent to you before the holidays and before shipping rates increase next year. 

We will be charging your credit cards tomorrow evening as well, immediately after the deadline.

For returning backers who backed just the new expansions, no immediate action is necessary (except for adding any of our amazing add-ons to your order). 

Again, if you still haven't received your BackerKit survey, please let us know today so you won't miss the shipping window. You can reach us at [email protected] 

Thank you!

Important update on the BackerKit Pledge Manager. Also: Deluxe Dice Stretch Goal announcement, and Pre-Order store open!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 10, 2023 at 01:20:52 PM

By now, you all should have received a link to your personal BackerKit Pledge Manager. 

In the Pledge Manager you can include awesome add-on items into your cart, input your shipping address, and pay for shipping (if you have the All-In or Core Game pledge tiers). 

If you haven't seen an email from BackerKit, please search your inbox or spam folders. If you still don't see it, please email us directly at [email protected] . 

Important Deadline for completion: November 15th. 

Next Wednesday, we will be exporting our backer data for in-time-for-the-holidays shipping. This is very important if you are a Core Game or All-In backer, we will need you to complete your survey and pay for shipping by this date! If you miss this date, it could be a few months before we're able to send you the Core Game part of your pledge, and shipping rates are increasing in the new year. 

New Stretch Goal Unlocked: the Deluxe Dice Set!

We've almost doubled our goal of 50 dice orders, so everyone can now add this amazing add-on to their carts! Note that the game does come with small acrylic dice, but the dice in this set are 25% larger, with additional graphic embellishments, and crafted from semi-precious stone.

While you're considering extra items, please note that we are encouraging ALL BACKERS (including those who just ordered the new expansions) to order their add-ons now so we can set manufacturing quantities.

 Finally, the Shivers Pre-Order store is now open!

Did you miss our campaign, or have a friend who wants to get in on the action? Our Pre-Order store is now open, using this link:

 https://the-shivers-expansions-triple-terror.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

That's it for now, Shivers fans! Make sure you get your survey completed by next Wednesday.
