Fulfillment

Hi, Ravenore Fans,

I know you're all excited about getting your hands and minds into the Ravenore universe and experiencing all the magic within. There's only good news ahead.

The book is completely finished, and I am preparing to send out all the digital rewards.  YAY!! 

So, far I've only gotten good feedback, though there is one event that takes place that is giving me frowny faces. It was designed that way, of course, and I am expecting the backlash that goes with it. All in the name of telling a compelling story. 

As far as printed materials go, I have prepared everything for the printer, but I am leaving for Atlanta next week and I don't want the test books sitting on my doorstep for a week, so they will be arriving at the end of the month upon my return. After approving the test books, I will put the order in and should have them within a few weeks. 

I just received an update on the pin sets. One was damaged in the mold phase, so they have to remake the mold, but I was assured they would be shipped in the next couple of weeks as well. 

This means that around the end of April, all printed materials will be fulfilled as well.  In meantime, I am working on launching the Destiny Aurora Audio Book. This will be a fun campaign. Also, the follow-up issue to the Lords of LA is looking great. I'll upload one of the covers below.

For all of you gamers out there, we are diligently working on a D&D/PATHFINDER RPG module set in the Ravenore universe. How cool is that?

Let me know if you have any questions.  

Thank you all for your support and Magic On!

Tales of Ravenore Pledge Manager Opening!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Jan 15, 2023 at 06:45:37 PM

Hi, Ravenore fans. 

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I just wanted to do a quick update. Backerkit has approved our pledge manager. Some of you may have already been notified by email. Everyone will get the notification within the next 48 hours. 

PLEDGE MANGER: If you are unfamiliar, or new to Kickstarter, the Pledge Manger is where you enter your address for shipping, as well as adding products to your order. If you already purchased add-ons, you will see a credit in your account that allows you spend those credits on either the add-on you opted for or you may choose something else instead. If you purchase something entire new, then you will add the funds to your account as you check out.

If you ordered a T-shirt, you will enter the size here as well. 

PROGRESSION: I received the edit back from the editor. I just about halfway through approval of the her corrections and suggestions. Then I will re-read it over myself and make any last adjustments before sending it to the layout artist.  Once I get that back, it will go to print. So, please fill out the pledge manager as soon as possible, so I have a count on items.

If you haven't gotten in on the Lords of LA, I will be launching issue #2 soon - Order Link

Also if you haven't subscribed to my youtube channel - Subscribe Now

Talk soon, until then magic-up.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from Ravenore

Hello, Ravenore fans,

I just wanted to drop a quick update and wish you and your families an awesome Holiday and Merry Christmas.

I received word back from the editor that everything was moving along. She even went out of her way to tell me that it was well-written and that she was enjoying it.  That's always good to hear. I'm excited to get everyone's feedback.

New pages for Lords of LA are coming in, so I'll be launching that one soon and we are starting to layout a Ravenore D&D 5e to see how much artwork I will need. So far it's sounding good.

Thank You! Campaign Successfully Completed.
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 04:14:59 AM

Hi, Ravenore Fans.

I want to express my gratitude to all of our supporters. We have successfully brought the first book of the Ravenore Trilogy to life. The book has already been written and half of it has been edited. So, it has to go through the second half of editing and a couple of rounds of proof reading and then it will head to the printer.

In the meantime, please check your pledge and account. Many times bank alerts are triggered due to the Kickstarter charge not being recognized. To ensure your pledge goes through properly, please check your emails and texts to see if you got a notice asking if you made the charge and reply "yes." I've had this happen on my own pledges to other creators in the past. 

What happens next? If you're familiar with my other campaigns, then you're well aware of the next steps, for those of you that this is your first time (Welcome), then this is the procedure. I am currently putting together our Pledge Manager. It should be completed soon. You will receive an email from Backerkit.  You will log-in and it will allow you to enter your delivery address and view your pledge. From there, you can either upgrade your pledge or update it.  You can confirm your add-ons and even purchase additional products that you hadn't during the campaign. The Pledge Manager page will stay open for 30 days to allow people who were waiting for additional funds to receive those funds and apply them.  

If you ordered a T-shirt or one of the four Destiny Aurora novels, the Pledge Manager is where you will choose your size and which book you'd like, respectively.  I will also send out an announcement once the PM goes live. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to message me.  You can also chat with me via Facebook if you'd like through the Destiny Horizons page. www. facebook.com/destinyhorizonsinc

Thank you again, for supporting this project.

Sincerely,

Frank Zanca--Creator
