Fulfillment Update
over 1 year ago – Fri, Aug 26, 2022 at 10:34:30 AM

Epic Spell Wars fans,

Many of you have received your games and we are thrilled at the reactions so far. Thanks for your support! Before updating you on fulfillment, we have a couple quick notes:

We have a Found Inventory Sale in progress on our website with great deals on many products, including some Epic Spell Wars titles (and the R.S. Bixby Promo Set from Gen Con… though fan club members will be getting that). Check it out here!

Many of you have been confused about the number of Legend cards in ANNIHILAGEDDON 2. Page 3 of the Rulebook is correct where it says “33 Legend - Treasures, Creatures, Wizards, Locations, and Spells.” However, page 5 is incorrect where it says there should be 45 cards in the Legend deck; there are 33 Legends and 7 Mega Mayhems for a total of 40 cards in the deck. Sorry for that error… we must have been distracted by the incredible fluorescent color of the box.

Here is the rundown on fulfillment status and customer service information! Please reach out to us directly via Kickstarter if you need additional assistance but generally the links below are the most direct ways to get help.

Australia/New Zealand

  • Backer orders have been shipped except 5 orders delayed due to a shortage of a few items. QML will ship the needed items to Australia to fulfill these remaining 5 orders.
     
  •  Fulfillment by QML. Contact them via the QML Customer Service Contact Form.
     

Asia

  • China and Hong Kong orders should be fulfilled already.
     
  • Other Asian countries: QML’s partner had a delay, but they have now shipped rewards to hubs in different countries to begin fulfillment.
     
  •  Fulfillment by QML. Contact them via the QML Customer Service Contact Form.
     

UK/Switzerland/Norway

  • All games were shipped out last week.
     
  •  Fulfillment by ShipQuest. Contact our partner Don’t Panic Games for all issues: [email protected]
     

EU

  • Fulfillment is underway. Some of you have received an email about damage to an item in your order. What happened: A pallet of XTREME Nacho Trophies was heavily damaged, leading to a shortage of trophies for fulfillment. We are awaiting a final count of damaged trophies to see how many we need to send from our office. The delay shouldn’t be too long, but we apologize.
     
  •  Fulfillment by Bigblue. Contact our partner Don’t Panic Games for all issues: [email protected]
     

US, Canada, ROW (rest of world)

  • US backer orders have pretty much all been shipped out.
     
  • Canada: First batch of backer orders were shipped via FedEx and the second batch should be shipped this week.
     
  • ROW: All games have been shipped, but they may take some time to arrive.
     
  •  Fulfillment by QML. Contact them via the QML Customer Service Contact Form.
     

We hope everyone has their games soon and loves them!

Thank you for backing,

Fulfillment Begins… and an EPIC Gen Con!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Aug 01, 2022 at 12:35:29 AM

Epic Spell Wars fans,

Let’s get right to the good stuff: Fulfillment has officially started in many regions around the world, and it’s about to begin almost everywhere else!

Here’s the full rundown:

  •  Australia/New Zealand, UK, Asia: Australia fulfillment has started and should finish this week. UK and Asia games are actively shipping.
     
  •  EU: Games have already arrived at the port, but due to supply chain issues, they will get to the warehouse next week. That means fulfillment in the EU will begin next week!
     
  •  US, Canada, ROW (rest of world): Games arrived at the QML warehouse yesterday. They will need a few days to get everything sorted. Fulfillment should kick off next week! If you’re in Canada, it will take a bit longer since rewards have to be transferred to FedEx Canada. If you qualify as “rest of world,” it will be a tad longer than that since games will ship via the US.

Epic Spell Wars Takes on Gen Con!

We are heading to Gen Con, August 4-7 in Indianapolis, and Epic Spell Wars: ANNIHILAGEDDON 2 will be on center stage! Though we won’t be selling it yet (the retail version will come out in late August AFTER backers get their copies), we will have demos at our Booth #403 and tournaments for both ANNIHILAGEDDON 2 and the latest Epic Spell Wars spellcrafting card game: Hijinx in Hell High! Check out the schedule at this link.

We will also have the amazing R.S. Bixby Promo Card Set. All Epic Spell Wars purchases at the show will come with this Gen Con-exclusive oversized Wizard card featuring R.S. Bixby (the illustrator behind the art for Epic Spell Wars: ANNIHILAGEDDON 2 and most of the games in the Epic Spell Wars series), plus the accompanying Familiar card that invites the player to explore their own artistic side. If you’re in the fan club, don’t worry: You’ll be getting it in the next mailer. Any copies left after the show will be made available online for fans who could not attend.


We hope to see lots of you at Gen Con!

Thanks for backing,

The Cryptozoic Team

Fulfillment Update for Different Regions
over 1 year ago – Sat, Jul 09, 2022 at 12:00:19 AM

Epic Spell Wars fans,

We have good news and bad news. Let’s start with the good: Fulfillment is about to begin in certain regions and we expect a large percentage of backers to have their rewards by the end of July. Now, here’s the bad news: Due to port congestion, there have been delays in US and EU games arriving at ports. We are so excited to get you your games at last, so hopefully you'll forgive any slight delays. You can read Cory’s pained response to the delay on the ESW website here.

Here’s the full rundown:

Australia/New Zealand, UK, Asia: Games are at respective warehouses and fulfillment will begin in a matter of days. These will be the first rewards to go out.

EU: Port date has slipped to July 12, but we expect fulfillment to start about a week after that and complete by the end of the month.

US, Canada, ROW (rest of world): Port date in the US has slipped to July 18. Fulfillment should begin just a few days after that, with most games delivered by the start of August. If you’re in Canada, it will take a bit longer since rewards have to be transferred to FedEx Canada. If you qualify as “rest of world,” it will be a tad longer than that since games will ship via the US.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

If your games are being fulfilled by Quartermaster Logistics, you should receive an email soon giving you one last chance to update your address. If you have NOT sent us your address: Please send us a message immediately via Kickstarter or cryptozoic.kayako.com.

All Loaded and Ready to Go… Last Call to Update Addresses!
almost 2 years ago – Sun, May 22, 2022 at 12:15:04 AM

Sailing on a sea of XTREME NACHO cheese!

Epic Spell Wars fans,

The day has finally come… your games and assorted other rewards are on the way! Ships are headed to various ports and should arrive in late June. That means backers should start receiving packages in late June or early July!

If your address is unchanged: You’re all set.

If your address has changed recently: MAY 31 is the final day to update it on BackerKit (after that, you’ll have to reach out to us and hope it’s in time to update it). You can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page: https://epic-spell-wars.backerkit.com/

FAN CLUB MEMBER ADDRESS UPDATES: If you’re a member of BATTLE WIZARDS FAN-FUCKINGTASTIC FRIENDS, please message us privately on Kickstarter or via cryptozoic.kayako.com for ANY address updates. Even if you update your address on BackerKit, this will not be reflected on our database of fan club members so please reach out whenever you have any address updates.

FAN CLUB HIGHLIGHTS… PLUS a Very Special Message from Cory Jones

Backers who subscribed for the highly prestigious (and highly offensive) fan club have been receiving their mailers and LOOOOOVING them. Each mailer is filled with amazing gameplay, weird art, and other random stuff… you know, it’s just very Epic Spell Wars! Fans on the forums of Epicspellwars.com (the raddest website in the world!) have been good enough to share photos of the mailers from the first couple of months:

“This counts as a Friday update for epicspellwars.com! hahaha, suck it!” –Cory

Production Update… Plus DC Deck-Building Game 10th Anniversary Kickstarter!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 27, 2022 at 05:38:30 PM

Epic Spell Wars fans,

All of the first month’s fan club mailers have gone out. US backers should have received theirs already. We finished sending out international mailers on April 13, so most of you should have yours too. Judging from what we’ve heard from you, you’re loving them! Cory is working on Month 2 now…

So onto the other big news: Our harrowing journey to get you your games has taken several turns. As you know, we decided to reprint all the game cards at a different factory since we wanted to get the best quality (and then ship the cards to the original factory for final packout). This added delays. 

Well, we ran into another delay a little while ago: The foil needed for many of the ANNIHILAGEDDON 2 and Gang Bangers cards had to be delivered to our factory from Shanghai. The problem? Shanghai was in a shutdown due to COVID. Following much prodding and special permission, our factory was able to send a truck to pick up the foil. After completing quarantine, the driver has now picked up the foil and is on his way back to the factory. Like we said, harrowing!

So we are just a couple days from card reprints being finished and then being sent to the other factory. Everything should be ready to ship out in early May and we expect ships with your games to arrive at various ports around the world at the end of June.

This means fulfillment should happen in July! We appreciate all the patience and amazing support from the fans through the delays and all around weirdness in the world… you can’t make this stuff up.

DC Deck-Building Game 10th Anniversary Kickstarter

In case you missed the announcement, we launched a Kickstarter campaign for the DC Deck-Building Game 10th Anniversary two weeks ago! Rewards include two new games–Injustice and Rivals – The Flash vs. Reverse-Flash–plus Multiverse Boxes, playmats, reprints of old Promo Cards, and much more! If you love the Brawl version of the Cerberus Engine used in the ANNIHILAGEDDON series, you’ll really enjoy Injustice!

It has been an amazing campaign so far: We’ve unlocked more than 30 stretch goals. If you’re new to the DC Deck-Building Game series or a long-time fan, we hope you pledge!

Thanks,

The Cryptozoic Team
