Counting Down...

We're in the final week of this campaign and honestly we're blown away by the interest in our Dice Towers. We've achieved our goal in a week, our first stretch goal in two and we're getting close to our second stretch goal with 6 days to go. We've seen Kickstarters come and go unfunded. We understood the risk of going with the All-Or-Nothing approach of Kickstarter but we believe in this product and we know it's great. It's wonderful to see you all believing along with us. If you are as excited to see how things turn out as we are, join us on Wednesday the 23rd from 4pm to 8pm for our Kickstarter Countdown Livestream on YouTube.

Contest So Far

People are entering our contest for the Crystal Towers left and right. Don't forget that by following us and sharing our on Facebook page or Instagram gets you entered to win one of the 5 Crystal Towers we'll be giving away at 7pm during our Livestream.

Selling Out

Our Early Adopter Deluxe Kits may have sold out but we still have several Early Adopter pledges still available at substantial discounts over the standard prices. The DM 5-Packs are a great deal too. The Standard Pack $25 off of the cost of 5 Standard Kits and there is a $50 savings on the DM 5-Pack Deluxe Kits! If you're following us and haven't yet pulled the trigger, now is a great time.  

Final(?) Gargoyle Designs

And finally we have the final-ish designs for the Gargoyles. These might have some structural changes (ie how they fit into the window, things like that) but we anticipate these being the characters we're going with. We have Horsehead,  Raven, Serpent and Mephit. We painted a few so you can see what they could look like on your tower. Check them out and let us know what you think. 

First Stretch Goal Hit and we've added Retailer Pledges

First Stretch Goal Hit! You Get Dice and You Get Dice...

We have hit our first stretch goal with 10 days to go! This means that everyone who has pledged at least $30 will receive a set of rpg dice with their reward. It is so exciting to us that this campaign has generated this kind of interest. Again, we have you all to thank for this. Keep up the good work. We still have room to grow so please keep telling your friends and sharing the campaign on social media.

Retailer Pledges

We have had several potential backers contact us regarding retail sales of our Dice Towers and/or Dice Boxes. We have added two Retailer Pledges for the towers and two Add-Ons for the Dice Boxes. There are conditions to be able to qualify for these pledge levels.  For more information contact us or check out our Kickstarter Pages on our website.

For those of you who have pledged to non-Retailer levels be assured that preference will not be given to any reward level. All rewards will be shipped in order of pledge, with minor exception being those who ordered assembly and painting add-ons. Those will be shipped according to their listed shipment months.

First Stretch Goal in Sight! Gargoyles, our Crystal Tower Contest, and a Watch Party... Oh My!!!

Big Update Today

You have all been very patient and it's about to pay off! Here are a few things to get excited about...

What's the Haps?!

We're less than $100 away from our first stretch goal. At this point everyone with a pledge at or above $30 will receive a randomly colored set of 7 Dice with their reward. At that point we will be within spitting distance of our second Stretch Goal. 

Let's All Send This Thing Off In Style

Join us Live on our YouTube Channel starting at 4pm on Wednesday June 23rd, the final evening of our campaign, for our Kickstarter Watch Party. We'll be playing Dungeons and Dragons, singing show-tunes (not really... probably ;) and counting down the final hours of this amazing campaign. At 7pm, an hour before the end of the campaign, we will award the prizes for our Crystal Tower Contest (see below for more information and instructions on how to enter.)

Contest Starts Today!

Check out our Instagram or Facebook @creatorpultgames for info about how you can win one 5 of these Limited Edition Crystal Towers.  Follow this campaign and either us at @creatorpultgames on Instagram or our Facebook Page to enter. Pledging to our campaign is not required, however anyone who pledges will be entered automatically. The contest runs until the night of the final day of our Campaign when we will announce the winners at our YouTube Live Kickstarter Watch Party.

Gargoyles and Banners

Here are a few peeks at the first draft of the Gargoyles that I took with my phone.  We have settled on these as our starting points for the models.  We are now working on adding detail and tweaking the fit for the towers. We will post updates regularly as we refine these designs. 

And here is an example of a painted Banner.

And finally the Deluxe Kit with the Evil Paint Scheme

Thank You

We're very excited to see how successful this has been for our first campaign. It has been a great experience for us and even encouraged us to take on other projects that we won't muddy the waters with here. Suffice it to say that great things are in the works and you guys are directly responsible for our decision to move forward with our plans. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or check out the Creatorpult Games website to keep up with what we're working on.

International Backers (Potential Backers Especially) Please Read!

We have a question. Is the $25 cost for shipping to your country holding you back from pledging to our campaign? Feel free to message us your answer directly or you can answer in the comments section.

What's Up?

We are asking because the number of International rewards to each country directly affects our ability to consolidate our shipping costs to those countries. We were not shooting for the moon with this campaign. We knew our volume would be low and were fine with it. Unfortunately this means we're not going to be getting much in the way of volume discounts on shipping. 

So far the EU presents the largest challenge. Shipping directly to backers in EU countries requires them (or us...) to cover VAT taxes and sometimes Customs fees which could more than double the cost to backers at lower tiers. Our goal is to reduce the cost of shipping Internationally to the point where we can specify a single price for shipping across the board.  Again using the EU as our example, if enough people from the EU are interested in this campaign and choose to pledge, it could become financially feasible for us to ship all of your rewards to a fulfillment company in the EU. Then they would ship your rewards to you from within the EU, saving some or all of those charges. This could make it possible for us to subsidize or even cover those fees completely. 

You're Right! We Should Have Thought of This Ahead of Time

Truth is, our only defense is that we have no excuse. It slipped by us, me specifically. Trust me that we have taken note and will learn from it. The only way forward is through... 

Thanks again everyone,

Original Chris

We Did It!!! Well You Did It :) What's Next?
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 09, 2021 at 11:08:51 AM

We woke up this morning to the news that we were 114% funded and still going strong. This is amazing. We're already less than $700 from hitting our first stretch goal. Once we get to $3,500 everyone who pledges for a Dice Tower or more will also get a randomly colored set of 7 RPG Dice, including (especially) those who have already pledged. 

What's NEW?

Speaking of stretch goals. We've been talking about it and we feel that they need something more, that Je ne sais quoi. Right?! So we are another new perk.

At $5,000 We are adding a new Add-On for a T-Shirt. Also everyone who selects a paint scheme will have the T-Shirt matching their chosen paint scheme included with their reward! 

Here are a few ideas. They're definitely not final, I just whipped these up this morning so don't be too hard on me :) 

We are probably going to add a T-Shirt for people who choose one of the DM 5-Packs too. Still considering what that will look like.

Thanks again and keep it up. We're hoping to unlock the first stretch goal in the next few days. Once we do we'll start getting serious about these shirts.

Cheers,

Original Chris
