Sending out Lingering Missing Copies
about 1 year ago
– Mon, Jun 05, 2023 at 05:14:31 PM
Hello Backers,
Thank you for your continued support as we scale our distribution efforts. With your contributions, we have been able to provide more than 5,400 copies of Critical Core to educators, parents, and gamers across the world. With that said, tracking the fulfillment of these orders has been a challenge, and we have been working hard to ensure we make good on our promises, starting with our backers in the U.S.
Last month, we emailed surveys to the 164 customers whose fulfillment record was missing and subsequently shipped out copies to those who responded. Our next focus is ensuring any donated copies that have been unaccounted for are filled. If you’re in the minority of our customers who still haven't received their copy, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will get those shipped out.
Thank you again for believing in our mission to empower anyone and everyone to utilize the power of therapeutic role-playing games. We look forward to hearing from you, and making good on our promises to the best of our ability.
Adam Davis
P.S. I know many of you are eager to get your hands on the next round of modules. Due to some changes in staff at Game to Grow the adventures have had to take a back seat to some other pressing issues in our org. They're on ice, but not forgotten. Our first goal with limited resources it so make sure everyone gets their copy of the game.
Critical Core is coming to Roll20!

Hello backers!
We have some more great news! The team at Roll20 has invited us to have Critical Core converted to virtual tabletop! Not only will this share Critical Core with a whole new audience of players and game masters within the Roll20 community, it will also help us reach more players and game masters in the EU/UK! We have not been able to sell physical or digital materials to the EU/UK because of expensive international regulations and VAT, but we will soon be able to sell digital products (and soon print-on-demand) to Europe! They’ve estimated it will take some time to get Critical Core converted to VTT with an estimated launch of March 2023.
Here’s more exciting news:
Kickstarter backers will get codes for free access to the Roll20 version of Critical Core! This is a $49.99 value as a thanks for being a part of the Critical Core journey!
If you know non-backers who are interested in getting a Roll20 version of Critical Core, the pre-sale price is currently $29.99 before it goes up to the full $49.99 price when it is released! Help spread the word!
We’ve also heard from many backers and supporters that they’re ready for some more character sheets! You can download versions of the character sheets with and without artwork from https://www.criticalcore.org/purchase. There is an ink-friendly option as well, as has been requested by backers!
As mentioned in the last update, now that all games are shipped to backers, we’ll be planning a larger launch/campaign around Critical Core to the non-backing public.
We’d love for you to share photos/videos of Critical Core in action!

Update on EU/UK Shipments, and other small updates
almost 2 years ago
– Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 11:44:29 PM
Hello backers!
Couple updates for you today:
EU/UK Shipping
- We were hoping to get a more specific update for this, but I know you have been waiting for a while. Currently the shipment has been delayed en route. We aren’t provided any details about why freight is delayed, but we have been provided a new date of September 16th 2022 for port arrival in Germany. When we have more specific details, we will share them.
-
Since shipment has been delayed, we are still able to take address changes. Email [email protected] by September 10th so we can be sure to provide any updates to fulfillment.
Good Cause Copies
- We have refined the process for Good Cause copies. Donated copy locations will be mailed a letter ahead of the shipment telling them that the game is coming. The backer who is donating will also be sent an email letting them know that the donated copy has been shipped so they can let the location they donated to know it was them who donated if they choose. We are not allowed to share that information with the donation locations so we want to give you a chance to share that with them yourself.
- We will continue sending Good Cause copies as we receive requests so please continue to use this form https://gametogrow.org/criticalcore/donate/ to submit donation locations.
Physical copies available for purchase
- We are in the process of making physical copies available for purchase on our website! If you want extra copies or know someone who might be interested in buying a copy, keep an eye on our social media or website by the end of next week! Additionally if you think Critical Core would be a good addition to your local game shop, we are starting retail sales, so we’d love to speak with them.
Additional Modules
- We are continuing to flesh out the additional modules. First drafts of the first 2 modules are nearly complete and we look forward to sharing a sneak peak of the plots within the next month.
Problems with shipments?
- If you’re not in the EU/UK and your copy of Critical Core is damaged or hasn’t yet arrived, please submit a ticket to QML here: https://www.qmlogistics.com/contactUs.html
