A Small Request
10 months ago – Sat, Jul 08, 2023 at 02:00:50 PM

Hi everyone, I have a small request. If you need to get in contact with me regarding Follow Me Down, please do not message me on Kickstarter. Please email me directly at [email protected]. Messaging me on Kickstarter means your message goes to my spam account that gets hundreds of emails a day. This makes it much more likely that I will miss your message, especially if you send it on a weekend. Please just email me directly at [email protected].

Thank you!

Shipping Concluded & Next Steps
11 months ago – Wed, May 17, 2023 at 12:52:51 PM

Hi everyone! I realize it took us much longer to ship rewards than originally intended and I'm sorry for making you wait. However, as of today, all physical rewards for Follow Me Down have shipped! The last batch to go out were international packages, so please give them a few weeks to arrive if you haven't already gotten yours.

Now that physical rewards have shipped, I wanted to update you on what to expect in the coming months. We'll be continuing work on Tomes of the Dead, playsets and stretch goals, so expect to see those begin to trickle in throughout the rest of the year. Once again, we appreciate your patience and are grateful for your support. Thank you for backing Follow Me Down, and I hope you enjoy the game!

Shipping Update

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update on how shipping is going for Follow Me Down. As of this afternoon, all rewards to US addresses have shipped! Some of you have already gotten your rewards, but for those of you who have not, please be patient for a few more days as packages continue to reach their destinations. For international backers, your rewards will ship next week, and once that happens, all shipping for Follow Me Down will be complete.

Wayfaring Strange Crowdfunding

In the meantime, I'm launching a new crowdfunding campaign for a game called Wayfaring Strange on Backerkit! Wayfaring Strange is a diceless tabletop roleplaying game about hidden highways, urban legends, folk magic, and survival in liminal America. If this sounds familiar, you might have played the ashcan version at Gencon, Metatopia or Breakout Con. If you want to see what the game's about, you can download a free PDF on DriveThruRPG. And, if you'd like to be notified when the campaign for Wayfaring Strange launches, be sure to follow it here!

Randomworlds TTRPG Q&A

In other news, I'll be doing a Q&A session on the Randomworlds TTRPG Chatroom on April 10th. Be sure to swing by their Discord to ask any questions you might have about Wayfaring Strange, or other Drowning Moon Studios games. You can access their Discord by clicking the invite link on this page.

That's all for now! Thank you for supporting Follow Me Down and I hope you enjoy your rewards. I'll be back in a few weeks to let you know when everything has shipped, and update you on how Tomes of the Dead and stretch goal rewards are coming along.

Shipping Progress for Physical Rewards
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 13, 2023 at 10:06:35 AM

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you a brief update on how shipping is going for physical rewards. Unfortunately, it's taking longer than I intended--I seriously underestimated the amount of time it's taken me to assemble and stuff boxes--but, as of today, all US book-only packages have shipped! Since they're being sent via US media mail, they may take a little longer than First Class parcels, but they should make it to you by March 27th. If you pledged for just the book, and didn't order any add-ons, and you haven't recieved your package by the 27th, please get in touch and I'll try to track it down for you!

I'm continuing progress on domestic flat rate boxes (that's for anyone in the US who ordered dice or the canvas print), but I strongly suspect they won't be ready to ship until sometime next week. I will make another post once those are out the door, and should be able to get retail and international packages out by the end of the month. I really appreciate your continued patience and will continue to work as quickly as I can to get your rewards to you!

Last Chance to Update Addresses Before Rewards Ship!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 05:24:18 AM

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that today is the last day you can make any changes to shipping addresses before rewards begin to ship. If you aren't sure if you have submitted the correct address, you can double-check, or make any changes, by logging into Backerkit here: https://follow-me-down.backerkit.com/

24 hours from now (approximately 8:00am EST tomorrow), addresses will lock and you will not be able to make any further changes. Once addresses are locked, rewards will begin to ship in three waves, starting on Tuesday, February 21st. The first wave will be media mail shipments for US backers who are only receiving the book, without any additional physical rewards. The second wave will be for US backers who chose additional rewards, such as the canvas print or dice set. The third and final wave will be exclusively for retailers and international backers. 

It's my goal to have all rewards shipped by March 11th, 2023. Once shipping is complete, work on Tomes of the Dead and stretch goals will begin once more. As always, I will continue to keep you updated if there are any changes.
