Happy Friday! Another brief shipping update today for the BESM Retro RPG Kickstarter.
Pledge rewards have been processed for the US, Canada, and non-EU international backers. You will either receive a tracking email shortly or (for non-Canadians) they will be available in BackerKit next week. We are thrilled to fulfil this latest Kickstarter two months early – which continues Dyskami’s excellent crowdfunding track record!
Since shipping times vary greatly depending on your address, please wait until mid-June (or late-June for international addresses) before reaching out with shipping inquiries. As always, you can reach us at [email protected].
Additionally, a bulk shipment has been send to our EU warehouse and is scheduled to arrive by the end of May. It is expected to then take a few weeks to turn the orders around and get the pledges shipped out the door, so backers can expect delivery of their rewards sometime in June if there are no unforeseen delays.
We greatly appreciate your support once again for this Kickstarter! Have a wonderful weekend.
PS. We’d love to see you at one of our upcoming shows if you’re attending them. Dyskami will be exhibiting at Anime North (Toronto, ON – starts today!) Origins (Columbus, OH – June 20-23 in the Studio2 Publishing booth), and Gen Con (Indianapolis, IN – Aug 1-4). For Gen Con, our GM team is running over 30 BESM 4E and Anime 5E events that are selling out quickly, so be sure to sign up if you’re interested at https://gencon.eventdb.us.

Happy Thursday, backers! Just a brief shipping update today. The BESM Retro RPG and BESM Fourth Edition expansions have completed their ocean voyages from the printer and they have arrived in the US port (and cleared customs).
The products still need to make their way to the warehouse before rewards are shipped to individual backers, though – well ahead of the announced schedule! US and non-EU international backers will have their pledges shipped in the coming weeks after receipt, with Canadian shipments expected by the end of May. For EU backers, we’ll have a batch of products shipped to our EU warehouse and sent to your addresses from there; consequently, you can expect to receive your pledges in June.
We’ll post another update closer to the end of May. Until then, take care and thanks for your ongoing support!
PS. The BackerKit pledge manage is closing tomorrow, so if your in the 5% of backers that hasn’t completed your survey yet be sure to do so today!
BESM Retro Kickstarter Digital Reward Fulfilment
4 months ago
– Sat, Mar 23, 2024 at 10:20:18 AM
Thank you for the incredible early response to the BESM Retro/Expansions BackerKit surveys: 83% of all backers have completed their surveys already. So we have some great news: we are sending the digital rewards download links from DriveThruRPG TODAY! 🥳
Links will only be sent to backers that have already completed their BackerKit survey in full (and successfully remitted any outstanding fees) because we have already exported the survey report. Any late surveys not yet completed will be processed for the next wave of rewards next week or in a wave thereafter.
If You Didn’t Receive The Download Link
Before anyone reaches out to us to indicate they haven’t received their rewards yet, please read the following carefully.
➡️ The DriveThruRPG emails may take several hours to send since there are so many copies being distributed. The files are also being sent individually, so if you pledged at a higher tier you may receive many emails with all the products and stretch goals. You should receive everything in the next few hours, though.
➡️ If you didn’t complete your BackerKit survey yesterday’s deadline, you won’t receive the email yet. You can check the status of your survey by clicking on your survey link from the original BackerKit email (or get a new one at https://besm-retro-second-edition-rpg.backerkit.com)
➡️ The download links are sent to the email address on file with Kickstarter and/or BackerKit. This may be different than the email address you use normally. Please check spam filters, too.
➡️ If the emails are sent to an address different than the one you use with your DriveThru account, there’s no problem! The links can be still be used without any problem by logging into your DriveThru account before you click on the links.
➡️ If your Kickstarter email is the same as your DriveThru email, the download links will also conveniently appear in our DriveThru inbox. Once you log into your account, you can retrieve your inbox messages here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/account_notification_inbox.php
➡️ If you still don’t seem to have all the download link emails after waiting several hours, but you’re confident that you should have them because you completed the BackerKit survey by Friday’s deadline, please email [email protected] directly with as much detail as you can. This will allow us to address your situation quickly and efficiently. Please do not send us Kickstarter messages, or post in the campaign comments section, or post on social media. If you have issues that you want us to address, [email protected] is always the best way to reach us.
We hope you enjoy the digital rewards! Please spread the word about our late backer pre-order page to your friends and gaming communities: https://besm-retro-second-edition-rpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Have a wonderful weekend!
BESM Retro Kickstarter Surveys are Starting
5 months ago
– Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 05:41:53 PM
Hey, BESM fans! It’s time for a BESM Retro Second Edition (and BESM Fourth Edition expansions) Kickstarter fulfilment update.
We have been working with BackerKit to get the surveys ready and we are starting the process today. Following their guidelines, the survey will first be sent to a small selection of backer as part of a “smoke test” to ensure everything is running smoothly with the process. Only a few dozen people will receive this initial survey today – so don’t be concerned if you don’t receive one. If you do receive it, though, it would be very helpful if you could complete your pledge promptly so we can verify the process.
Starting tomorrow or Wednesday if everything runs without problems, the survey will be sent to all remaining backers. We ask that you complete this BackerKit survey no later than Friday, March 22nd to avoid delays fulfilling your pledge. It doesn’t matter which pledge tier you selected (even if it’s only for PDF products) – the deadline remains the same for every backer.
DriveThruRPG digital download links for your pledged products will be emailed to you during the week of March 23rd-29th. Physical rewards are expected to ship in this summer, likely in June or July (we’ll provide updates as production proceeds).
REMEMBER: You won’t receive your digital or physical rewards without completing the BackerKit survey!
As a reminder, with the BackerKit survey, you can:
- Confirm or change your pledge tier
- Top up your pledge funds to select one or more add-on products
- Remit shipping fees for any additional physical rewards in your pledge
- Provide your mailing address for shipping physical rewards
Contacting Dyskami for Support
If you have any questions about any aspects relating to this Kickstarter that isn’t addressed in this update – seriously, ANY and ALL aspects – please email [email protected] directly with as much detail as you can.

What a great Kickstarter campaign this has been!
Over the 23 days, 571 of you collectively pledged for $58,375!
Your support unlocked 5 stretch goals to make our products even better. Thank you so very much for your faith in our ability to deliver quality expansions and accessories for your gaming tables, whether they be actual or virtual.
And because the campaign almost made it to the final $60K milestone, we have unlocked one of the two stretch goals anyway as our gift to you: we will send a free print copy of the BESM Character Folio to all backers pledging $100+ (before shipping fees are considered, of course). Thanks for pulling together to make it a spectacular finish!
So tonight (and probably tomorrow!) Dyskami relaxes. Kickstarter will be doing its thing processing pledges shortly, and we will follow up with everyone in the coming weeks about opening the BackerKit survey. Until then, sit tight.
Thank you, and good night.
