Hail and well met Wanderers,

Huzzah and rejoice, for the post-campaign surveys are now on their way to you! Keep a keen eye on your inboxes this week, and please be sure to fill them in as soon as possible.

So do not dally, we cannot guarantee safe and secure fulfilment of your rewards if you don’t complete the surveys in time.

If you notice certain rewards arent showing on the survey, namely stretch goal rewards or timed rewards (such as the free metal d20), theres no need to worry. We add those into the surveys later on.

Are you reading this update in horror and confusion, seeing the wonderful world of Faerie and wanting to get your hands on it? Not to worry! Here! You can find our preorder store, where you will be able to jump in and pick up any particular items you had your eye on!

Thats all from us tonight, we'll be back on soon with another update but in the mean time feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the survey!

Hail and well met Wanderers,

I arrive with the much anticipated premiere playtest document! But first some quick housekeeping, you will all be receiving your post-campaign surveys over the next few days. We will give a more thorough update on that this week once the smoke test has gone out successfully, but I wanted to mention it today and remind everyone to please fill them out as soon as you get them to ensure no delays or issues with your pledges and later fulfilment.

You will find the full playtest document in the backer only content section below. It contains two full subclasses: The Circle of Blight subclass for Druid, and the Witch Knight subclass for the Fighter. Look through them, play them if you can, and then fill in the survey when it is released in about a month.

There is also a selection of new spells to try out, but I will note that these are very deliberately experimental. They explore some new mechanics and formatting, and we are presenting them as a way of testing what is worth exploring and what is better left on the cutting room floor before we release the full Witch class and list in an upcoming playtest.

Hope you have fun with them! And a reminder that if you’d like to discuss the content in this playtest, or anything else about Faerie, you can join our community over on Discord.

Have a great week, Aston will be back soon with a more structured reminder about the post campaign surveys soon!

Hail and well met Wanderers,

Just dropping in today to let you know that Backerkit have recommended we move our Post Campaign Survey to early next week to maximise viewership on it so that will not be arriving tomorrow.

Also in the same vein we wanted to make sure as many of you got your eyes on the first major content drop as possible so we'll be moving that to the same update early next week!

But have no fear! We are not leaving you without anything to do this weekend!

Playtest Survey 00: Preview PDF

Hereis the link for the first playtest survey, this will include all of the major content included in the preview pdf found on the main campaign page itself or here.

This will both give you an idea of the sorts of questions we'll be asking about future playtest content and let you have your say on the Hagborn, Fetch, and early Witch levels.

We can't wait to hear about the horribly broken Fetch Rogue/Wizard/Cleric multiclass you've theory crafted that lets you deal a million d6 damage a turn, so please let us know exactly how you feel! (Even if you're perfectly happy we wanna know what we're doing right).

Witch Spell List

A few of you have reached out asking for the full Witch spell list, while alot of the contents of the final list will be custom homebrew spells we have prepared a list of SRD spells for you just to get started on the playtesting! You can grab it here!

Of course there are certain spells we unfortunately can't tell you are on the spell list because of the restrictions on the SRD but if there is a spell that you believe has a certain Witchy flair to it feel free to add it onto the list!


Thats all from me for tonight, have a wonderful weekend and I'll speak to you next week!

Aston

Hail and well met Wanderers,

Our campaign for Faerie is over, twas a battle well fought and a victory well earned! Thank you all for raising your banner amongst our own, and making this our most successful project to date! If you’re reading this and didn’t have chance to back, our pre-order store is now open too, and will remain so until we lock orders for manufacture and fulfilment next year.

Now onto the final business for this week, including a round up of loose ends and a key dates roadmap of what you can expect from us and when!

If you’ve not already, go check out our final update on Willow to learn her fate, and find out what awesome rewards you have all unlocked as a result of your choices and rolls! The final roll was done live on stream, and thanks to my sleep deprivation and the efforts of your fellow backers, something pretty wild happened…

Expect to receive your post campaign surveys in one weeks time, August 30th. Once they’ve been sent out you will have until September 30th to complete them. If your surveys are not complete by the deadline we cannot guarantee you will receive your rewards, so please do make sure to get them filled in when they arrive.

Our first playtest survey will also be released on August 30th, to collect your feedback on the preview PDF content such as the Fetch Rogue and Witch class (we will release the full class soon, and collect more thorough feedback later once all features and spells have been made available). We will also be releasing our first official playtest document on August 30th. Which will contain the Witch Knight Fighter subclass, the Circle of Blight Druid subclass, spells & more! We will release a survey the following month for you to post your feedback, alongside the next playtest document. This will continue monthly until we finalise the book ready for fulfilment!

You can expect to hear from us here on Backerkit fortnightly (every 2 weeks) with an official update that will detail progress on the book, the art, and the various rewards! As for streaming, I don’t yet know when we will be hopping on again, but rest assured it will happen and you will be notified plenty in advance. Last nights stream was a tonne of fun, we designed two new monsters and even rolled Willows final roll live! If you missed it, the VoD is available on YouTube HERE.

We are penned for a June 2025 fulfilment date, digital goods will likely go out some time prior but this is the deadline we have for everything so expect notifications about receiving rewards no later than May 2025. Returning backers from Tempest can expect your exclusive “Guide to the Wyldsea” expansion to be with you sometime in the next couple months, and any purchases of the Tempest PDF or Dragons Vault Digital Collection will be sent out in a similar timescale once we’ve finished all of our backend work for Faerie.


That’s all of the important dates going forward! If there’s any amendments, changes or delays we will be sure to make you aware as far in advance as possible.

And as a final note, I’d like to say a personal thank you to every single one of you who joined us on this campaign. Because of you me and Aston get to work our dream jobs, I can’t emphasise enough how grateful we are! And if you are returning from Tempest, a special thank you for sticking with us as we continue to grow and develop! Aston will be handling surveys and content for the next week or so while I take a short holiday after working pretty relentlessly the last couple of months, I’ll still be  active in our discord if you have any questions or want to talk about Faerie!

Thanks!
- Conor

Hail Wanderers!

Just popping up to say our stream is live now! And will be starting officially very soon.

Hop in to help me create some fae creatures, ask questions, and bask in the radiant victory of a campaign well fought!

See you there!
