Hi there once again you awesome backers!
To summarise:
All our products are downloadable, or shipping on their way.
Final book: Book 5 - Ohm-E'Ga: Aftermath will be downloadable this week.
Next Kickstarter will be live in October and delivered in December.
The longer version to say those three sentences:
I have had quite the week last week with finalising many documents. Including a disclaimer, creating separate maps for both GM and player, tokens, QR codes and music. This gave us the final look of the huge scope and undertaking of this amazing project! And dare I say it: I'm super proud of the result.
I honestly hope that all of you have fun and enjoy an amazing experience with these adventures. Share stories, memories, many laughs and even a few cries.
Our aim is to change the way GMs digest adventure modules and can use them for their games. If you feel like we have achieved that, feel free to leave a comment, review, remark, tell a friend, cast message on any digital platform you possess. That is what helps us grow and that ensures we can continue making this content for you.
It also made us realise that you have quite a lot of content already! Some backers have the opportunity to download:
Book 1: Hells Prison Escape
Toll of the Ferrymen
Book 2: Galvan Harbour
Book 3: Silver Mountain
Book 4: Ohm-E'Ga War
and Book 5: Ohm-E'Ga Aftermath is still with layout design and should be ready for you to download this week!
Factions and Deities (4 evil ones)
Factions and Deities (3 good deities and 4 factions)
Necrotic Symbiote Class with 3 subclasses.
Herbs, Potions and Rituals
Ketza Kingdom World Lore with help "plotting PCs into the Ketza Kingdom" to get the creative juices flowing for backstories.
In addition, personally tailored tokens have been sent to Tier 4 backers AND this week:
The dice and dice trays are packaged and shipped on their way!
We decided to have somewhat of a vacation ourselves (after all that!) and write, edit, layout Baraq Runes for the next Kickstarter.
Next October, we will be live and digital delivery in December 2024.
Yup, shorter waiting time! for digital content...
The story continues with Blood Rituals, necromancy and all sorts of shenanigans. My brain is just in dire need of some time off before we commence the race to run our next "successful" Kickstarter. Hope I didn't jinx it!
If you're hyped about our content, like our style, and want to see more of us; just sign up to our newsletter on our website: https://www.questnestshop.com/ and you'll get notified for our next Kickstarter:
Well, that might be the last update for this Kickstarter. The end of a project always feels mixed. In case there's anything, reach out!
Thank you for sticking with us! We hope we delivered the high quality products you deserve.
The latest products align with what we envision and still we improve continuously. Share some love, reviews, feedback; we are but a small business that aspires greatness!
Much love,
Frank

Hi there awesome backers!
Mini half-of-June update, since...
You might get spammed with several e-mails from BackerKit:
Lock your Orders
Lock your Addresses
Update your Payment Methods
Receive/Download a product.
And now there's also an update...
If you're extremely lucky, you get all of these?!
This is something that is part of the process and I cannot do much about.
In case you come across any: troubles, questions, challenges, or you just feel the need to chat with someone about these awesome products, feel free to shout out. Even if you have ideas to improve them.
Just click the image below, or scan the QR code. Also, BackerKit is very helpful and should be approachable.
Stay Awesome!
Love,
Frank
Locking orders soon!

Hello Awesome Backers!
We will be locking in orders very soon. 80% has completed their pledge management in BackerKit (and the remaining ones can still do so after orders are locked!). After they are locked, I will send out products.
In the meantime, due to a variety of reasons, I have taken on the layout design myself. This also means, that they have increased somewhat in size to +/-80 pages. Keep in mind that I'm self-taught over the past weeks, so only somewhat of an expert! Nevertheless, the feedback has been positive.
Unfortunately, this means that final writing and editing for the last book, Baraq Runes, did not make any progress... sad frowny face with a teardrop.
The other books on the other hand, after order are locked I could start distributing the following books that will be waiting to be downloaded by you!
Book 2: Galvan Harbour
Book 3: Silver Mountain
Book 4: Ohm-E'Ga War
Depending slightly on the speed and progress, I might change the Brain Raider Class, Herbs and Rituals, and Factions and Deities also to this layout design...
Greatest of News!
Yes! We are able to deliver your products now and I hope they meet the same expectations as they did to the sneak peek humanoids.
What is the plan?
First Step is to lock orders in the first week of June.
Second Step is to send the book Galvan Harbour. Feel free to reach out if there are major mistakes shouting at you. Big tweaks or changes, we can still do something with them in the second week in June.
Third Step is to send the Silver Mountain, Ohm-E'Ga War and Ohm-E'Ga Aftermath after synchronising the same feedback in the third week of June.
Fourth Step is to send out the Brain Raider Class, Herbs and Rituals, Factions and Deities. During the fourth week of June we can hopefully finalise writing Baraq Runes, editing, layout design and deliver it to you.
Shout Out
A friendly to shout out to Critical Crafting, the team that helped me balance and create TheBrain Raider Class. They'll have their Kickstarter launching soon featuring a war where you get to choose a side: wizards versus mechanics.

Thanks again for sticking around. Your patience, confidence and support are much appreciated.
Now it's time to look forward to enjoying what you have pledged for.

BackerKit surveys are coming!
almost 2 years ago

Hi there awesome backers!
Great news!
Your products are actually being finalised! AND I am becoming increasingly proud of all the work and results. In the briefest overview possible:
BackerKit surveys are flying out soon! We'll start with the Smoke Test for the lucky 5% of you! Once we remove any potential hurdles, we'll send them to all.
BackerKit helps me with digital product delivery and shipping for physical products.
Baraq Runes - 40% writing done, editing and layout still in progress.
Brain Raider Class with 3 subclasses - 95% writing and editing done, few tweaks from playtesting and then the layout changes for printing.
Herbs and Rituals - 100% writing & editing done, tweaks in layout design.
4 Factions and 3 Deities - 100% done.
Physical products, like exclusive Kickstarter dice and dice trays, are ready for shipment, but we await transport until you finish BackerKit surveys and in case there are interested humanoids in physical books.
Explaining delay in Layout Design
Simply put, instead of 1 HUGE book, we now have several supplements and 5 adventure books (roughly 120 pages each) that Layout Design reduces to +/-50 using witch craft!
So, that's roughly 800 pages of writing/editing that we did in the past 18 months...
Additionally, we also attempt hardcopy in landscape design with fake leather covers. This means more work for our layout designer, and she is currently moving places. As someone who has just experienced that myself, things can get hectic...
By the time she is ready, so will the writing and editing. I should be wary stating these things, but I hope we can start counting down weeks instead of months for your product delivery, (starting from 7).
In addition, there was enough feedback from editing and proof-readers to implement, so we had to reshuffle the chapters around. This has made me increasingly proud, since the flow of the book has gotten even better.
In the meantime I often read other adventure modules and dare I say, we are attempting to change the way others read and experience "adventure modules". Yes, I think I am. We are always innovating to make your products GM-Friendly; just like we promise!
BackerKit Survey Details
Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s essential to respond to your survey as quickly as possible since we need this information to fulfil your rewards.
You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the survey invite email, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
For those interested in physical Add-Ons.
Due to our inexperience with shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have the best estimates for everyone. We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping a month or two before fulfilment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backers rewards. We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalised & before we charge your cards in your BackerKit survey. We will keep you informed all along the way!
After surveys are sent, if you did not receive the email, and you Signed in with Apple ID, your email address might be a private relay email address. We can help locate your survey and update your email address, please message us or post a comment with your Backer ID or Pledge # found on your confirmation. You can learn more about your email hiding for your Apple ID here.
Heaps of thanks again!
It is the beginning of the end of this Kickstarter, and that's always with mixed feelings. I am super happy that we have started ticking off finalised products and you will be able to receive your products.
Much love,
Frank
