Salutations Heroes! 

We are just back from Origins where the production version of Born to Serve was first seen by the public and it went fantastic! People really responded well to the final product and many were surprised at how meaty a game Born to Serve is.

                                                                       Nick at the Shoot Again Games Booth at Origins,

The reviews, unboxings and how to play videos and articles are coming in. This one from Gaming with Sidekicks is pretty incredible:  https://gamingwithsidekicks.com/2019/06/08/game-review-born-to-serve/?fbclid=IwAR36VLHPgKfqAACz1GFOyLvcDUhFi_oPw7dyuT_jgfvvRRBOpdOsAsQZbvk 

Last, As I mentioned in the comments section all of the US backers games were mailed out before Origins so you should all have them by now. As for the Non-US backers we mailed all of our Canadian friends games, but ran into an issue with everyone else's games. To not bury the lead let me start by saying that everyone is getting thier games. So, on to the issue. Born to Serve came in a bit heavier than expected and the outside the US rates went up quite a bit since our original Kickstarter. To mail a game to England the USPO wanted $61! Obviously this being $16 over the cost of the game and shipping charged created an issue. Fortunately, ShipNaked has agreed to fulfill these games for us. I already took the 11 plus hour trip to drop them off, so they should be going out very soon. A little later than I had hoped, but they will be in people's hands before the August deadline. I am sorry as I hoped to just mail these all out last week, but happy that I found a workable solution. 

                                                                              Born to Serve at ShipNaked.

Heroes,

The time draws near for us to lock down the address and any add-ons you may have purchased as the games should be making landfall here in the US in the next few weeks. If you have already filled out your survey, thank you. If you have not yet please do it asap as to not delay us shipping your copy of Born to Serve out.

In other news, please be sure to check out Two-Gun Pixie's channel this week as he is featuring Born to Serve all week starting with a unboxing video on Tuesday. Both a how to set up and how to play Born to Serve on Wednesday. Finally, Saturday at 5:00pm EST there will be a live playthrough of Born to Serve. 

Finally, Meeple University has done both a full how to play and a shorter what to expect videos for Born to Serve. Both are fantastic. Below is a preview of the How to Play and after you watch it you will be ready to crack open the game when it arrives and start playing.


As always thank you all for your super, support of Born to Serve and of Shoot Again Games.

BackerKit Smoke Test has been sent. Surveys to follow Soon! Games are Printed!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Apr 23, 2019 at 06:21:11 PM

Fellow Heroes,

I just sent out what is called a Smoke Test from BackerKit which is where we are gathering all of your information needed to send you your copies of Born to Serve. Basically, a Smoke Test just sends out the surveys to 5% of each backer pledge level. It is a way to catch any mistakes I may have made when setting up the surveys. If you get a request, please if you don't mind, fill it out right away.  The sooner these get a clean bill of health the sooner all of the other backer's surveys can go out to them.

One of point of interest is that the games have been printed and we have in fact received the copies we had airmailed so that we can get them to reviewers ahead of the official release of Born to Serve. This means that Born to Serve is well ahead of schedule.

Once I have the surveys that went out today I will update everyone and send out the rest. Again, thank you all.

Diane
