First and foremost, we're long overdue for an update, so thank you for your patience!
Production has been slower than usual as we added a new type of product to this campaign - our FastForge™ terrain. We want to build this line of punchboard buildings to provide GMs with high-quality gaming accessories to make every Savage World look amazing. Ensuring the buildings fit smoothly and look fantastic has taken some time, but we are excited to share the results with you as soon as we have some samples to photograph.
As we wait for physical proofs of Dark Ages, we are working with our shipping partners in China to build out a delivery plan. This campaign is being fulfilled direct from China, and while we don't have a confirmed date for it yet, we are hoping that delivery will begin at the end of September. As soon as we have confirmation, we will let you know.
Once the delivery plan is complete, we will be able to update shipping info on Backerkit, charge for shipping, lock orders and prepare for the long-awaited arrival of the once and future king!
We'll be at Gen Con!
Join Shane Hensley and the Pinnacle crew at the Gen Con Pinnacle panel. Saturday at 5pm Eastern in the Marriott Tennessee room for major announcements!

⚔️ Behold Excalibur! ⚔️

Well met, Knights --
We’ve got our sample Excalibur pin in hand, and it looks glorious.
Forged as a symbol of destiny and the battle against darkness, this finely crafted pin brings the legend of Deadlands: Dark Ages to life in the palm of your hand. The detail, the shine, the weight: we think you're going to like how this turned out!
This isn’t just a collectible, it’s a mark of those who stood with us at the beginning of this campaign. At just over 2 inches in length, it will also be a standout in your collection or an impressive piece to wear or display. It has two fastening pins for stability and alignment, one near the blade tip and the other behind the cross guard.
If you haven't already claimed yours, it is available as an add-on in the BackerKit pledge manager or as a Preorder item!
The sword is drawn. The legend has begun.

February Production Update

Howdy followers of the once and future King -
We’ve received the first round of PDF proofs from the printer, reviewed them carefully, and have already returned our corrections. This is a normal (and important!) part of the process to ensure everything prints cleanly and matches our expectations.
Our printers are currently on holiday for the Chinese New Year, so when that break is behind us, production will resume in full. As updated files come back from the printer, we’ll continue reviewing and approving them in stages until everything is locked in for print.
We know many of you are eager to see how the books are shaping up, and so are we! As soon as we have high-quality proof images we’re able to share publicly, we’ll include them in a future update so you can see the progress for yourselves.
Thanks for your patience and continued support—we’re moving steadily forward!

Hey Hexgunners,
Digital Delivery Complete
If we had your DTRPG email address via your account at PEGINC, or from your BackerKit survey, we have delivered the Dark Ages PDFs to your DriveThru RPG accounts.
This campaign is digital delivery complete!
BackerKit Survey Access
Folks who didn't have access to their surveys because of the final Pledge Over Time payment, those surveys should be available to you now.
We will keep the BackerKit pledge manager / Pre-Order Store open for several months. Because we are set up to Pay Shipping Later, about 6 weeks before delivery starts we will add the shipping costs and allow you to pay for shipping and finish your pledges before closing the manager inorder to fulfill orders.
This campaign will be pretty quiet until then! If you have any issues, please reach out ot us at [email protected]
Cheers!
Pledge Over Time means slight delay in Survey Access

Hey Champions,
If you happened to utilize Kickstarter's new Pledge Over Time feature, there will be a slight delay in access to your survey on BackerKit. No worries, just give it a few days.
This is a safety feature to ensure that you don't finish your payment on BackerKit and also get charged for it by Kickstarter. So to avoid double payments, the survey is being held. A good idea.
If any of your payments with Kickstarter failed, you will be able to resolve those in the BackerKit phase. So no worries there either.
In the future, we'll try and not open the pledge manager until all Pledge Over Time payments are finished so we can avoid any confusion here. But for this campaign, just give it a few days.
We're thankful for your support of Deadlands Dark Ages!
Cheers.
