USA Tariffs update. - Fulfillment update! - Alchemy VTT delivered! - More Erevan's Guide Gifts for all!- Project we Love coming on Backerkit!
2026-04-30 18:22:01Hello Adventurers of the Undead,
We hope you are all doing great and happy to see that the more and more Erevan's Guide physical pledges are arriving!
In this update we primarily want to disclose to you the official news and process we have regarding the US tariffs, update you on the fulfillment process as well as share with you some exciting news for new gifts and projects!
ATTENTION TO ALL USA BACKERS - USA TARIFFS UPDATE.
Firstly, we would like to disclose here that due to the ongoing war situation as well as the overall price inflation, but also the specific added inflation in pricing caused by the war, we have paid a very, very considerable additional amount for shipping freight, fuel surcharges and delivery costs, which was paid in full by us. We only mention this to highlight that the additional costs we have had to pay for this project were already much higher than expected due to the current global situation and reassuring you all once again that we are asking you only for a small portion of these through the tariffs fees mentioned below.
Currently, have already received and paid off the whole bill from the USA shipping freight, customs and all additional handling and logistical costs, including the tariffs, which was a very significant amount.
As previously stated, we have decided to absorb most of these costs and provide you with the best possible scenario, but still, we will need your contributions, a very minor subsidized costs from these tariffs, from USA backers.
The amounts:
In order to highlight how much we tried to absorb, we want to share what are some of the tariffs amounts you will get to pay for some of the core pledges and products:
US tariff for book pledge (total pledge price: $65) : $1.2
US tariff for Deluxe book pledge (total pledge price: $90): $1.5
US tariff for Game Ready pledge (total pledge price: $99): $1.9
US tariff for Game Ready- Full Deluxe pledge (total pledge price: $145): $2.25
US tariff for Core Box pledge (total pledge price: $239): $ 4.3
US tariff for Deluxe Box pledge (total pledge price: $349): $9.8
US tariff for Core Minis + Deluxe Box pledge (total pledge price: $599): $16.85
US tariff for All-In pledge (total pledge price: $799): $18.4
And obviously there are similar small extra surcharges for any additional add-ons you have purchased.
As you can see, we did all we could to subsidize as much as possible for the tariffs cost, as the average tariff cost as a percentage of each total pledge value is only a bit above 2%, which is the lowest we could get without compromising the viability of the project.
No tariff payment for digital pledges, digital add-ons or freebies:
As we are only mandated to pay tariffs for physical goods sold in the US, there will of course be no tariffs surcharges for any digital pledges or digital add-ons you have acquired through the campaign of the pledge manager. However, if you have a digital pledge and (a) physical add-on(s), you will be required to pay the tariff amount corresponding to your physical add-on(s).
Furthermore, there will be no tariffs costs for any freebies you got through Early Birds, Loyalty Rewards or Stretch Goals, of course, we are covering all of these as well.
The process for USA backers:
We have now re-opened the Hive Interactive pledge manager for USA backers only so that we can receive the - heavily subsidized- tariff contribution from each USA backer.
All you need to do is log into Hive Interactive and pay the remaining amount for your pledge.
In order to log into Hive Interactive, just visit https://www.hiveinteractive.net/pledgemanager or if you are already logged in you should have immediate access to your pledge.
If you are not logged in and/or don't have immediate access to your pledge, all you need to do is enter your email and retrieve your account, using the link above. You should see a screen like the below, just enter your Kickstarter- Hive Interactive email and you will be able to quickly retrieve your account.
Once you get access to your Hive Interactive account, go to your Erevan's Guide pledge and settle up your remaining balance and you should be all set.
So, all you need to do is login to your Hive Interactive account and pay the remaining amount for your US tariffs and you should be all set.
If you are facing any issues regarding the process, we kindly ask you to contact us via a KS message or a Hive Interactive ticket as soon as possible in order to help you out.
IMPORTANT: There was a pledge manager bug to the tariffs' charges of some of the first backers that re-finalized their pledges. This bug has been now fixed and we have resent a Hive Interactive pledge manager invitation via email to all that were affected, so that they can pay their correct tariffs and finalize their pledge again. Please check (also your spam) in case you have received an email from Hive Interactive within the next hours and if so, please re-finalize your pledge.
The first deadline- May 1st:
We would like to kindly ask all USA backers that want to receive their pledges as soon as possible to finalize their tariffs payment until this Friday May 1st. We will do all we can to ensure that these are the first orders to be fulfilled, so if you want yours first, make sure to finalize your Hive Interactive pledge manager again by the aforementioned date.
The second deadline- May 7th:
The next deadline for the tariffs' payments will be on Thursday May 7th. All backers that pay their tariffs fee between the first deadline and then, should be the next ones receiving their pledges and add-ons starting on May 7th.
The final deadline- May 14th:
We obviously don't want to exclude anyone that has already paid their pledge and shipping, but once again, we want to finalize the whole USA fulfillment process as soon as possible, so we will have as a final official deadline Thursday May 14th for the US tariffs payments.
After this point, we will have to handle all remaining orders and pledges individually, so if you have to pay your US tariff fee after that point (you should do this again via your pledge manager in Hive Interactive) please contact us via a KS message or a Hive Interactive support ticket to ensure that you will be receiving your pledge as soon as possible from us.
The USA fulfillment process:
We are coordinating regarding the current tariffs situation daily with our fulfillment hub and they ensured us that on the day of each of the deadlines mentioned above, we will be sending them the list of the backers that finalized their Hive Interactive pledge manager again, by paying their tariffs, and they will be sending out their orders.
This way we estimate that by May 25th or earlier all backers that have paid their tariffs will have received their pledges. Obviously, the earlier you pay for your tariff, the sooner your pledge will be fulfilled, as mentioned above, so make sure to pay these as soon as you can if you want to get your hands on your pledge first!
Questions and help:
As mentioned above, the fastest way to contact us for anything here would be a Kickstarter message or a Hive Interactive support ticket. We will be checking both many times during the day and trying to help out each and every one of you.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that these minimal amounts show our best intention towards all of you and your detrimental support for the succesful completion of the Erevan's Guide fulfillment process!
We thank all US backers for their understanding and help in this matter.

Fulfillment Update
Here is a comprehensive look for the fulfillment of all regions!
Αn important clarification as this was a question for many cases: All of you will be receiving a tracking number to your email for your order, all orders are tracked orders and you will be receiving your tracking number once your order is dispatched.
Asian Countries
All pledges for China and Hong Kong have been shipped out during early April. All pledges for Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan have shipped out to our fulfillment partner's local hubs there and all of them will be fulfilled within May.

Canada
Super pleased to announce that the fulfillment of all backers in Canada is underway! And not only this, but they expect to finalize the whole Canadian fulfillment within the week!
UK
The UK shipment has been cleared and it has arrived to the fulfillment hub already. All processes and checks have been done, we estimate that the UK fulfillment should start next week. We have been trying to push the fulfillment start date earlier, but this wasn't possible due to the workload of the fulfillment hub. We were assured that they will do all they can for the fulfillment to conclude by mid- May, but it could take a bit later than that if there are any unexpected delays, which we don't think there will be as all is accounted for already.
Germany, Austria and Rest of the World
The shipment for all backers for Germany, Austria and rest of the world areas has arrived today in the fulfillment hub in Germany. The information that we have is that the fulfillment for these will be starting later this week or early next week. Once we have more news here, we will be sharing them.
EU and rest of Europe
As mentioned, this is the last shipment, which hasn't yet arrived its destination in Poland and due to port congestion it had to change route. We are still waiting for more information and a finalized date for this shipment and we will be keeping you updated once we have more news here.
We will be keeping you all informed in our next update for any additional news we have for the whole fulfillment process.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR GERMANY, AUSTRIA AND REST OF ΕUROPE AND REST OF THE WORLD BACKERS: ADDRESS LOCK!
Since the shipments are now arriving in the hub of Germany, which will be taking care of the fulfillment for Germany, Austria and all Rest of the World countries, meaning countries not belonging in any of the previously mentioned areas, as mentioned above, we urge all backers residing in the above countries to contact us if they want to change their delivery address up until Friday 1st of May.
After this date we cannot guarantee that we will be able to help you out, so let us know soon via a KS message, a Hive Interactive support ticket or an email through our website's contact form.
Alchemy VTT codes sent, Foundry VTT delivery coming up!
We are pleased to share that we have just sent via email, to all entitled backers that had chosen Alchemy VTT as their VTT, their codes so that you can redeem them in Alchemy!
Foundry VTT is coming up very soon, we faced a delay from the Foundry team that wanted to recheck all modules and functionalities of Erevan's Guide and The Undying Accord on Foundry VTT to ensure that all is properly set up. We estimate that we will have delivered this within next week.
Project we Love: Spawns of the Mindrender launching soon on Backerkit!
We’re excited to shine a light on ElderBrain’s next major 5e campaign, Spawns of the Mindrender, a massive 600-page D&D 5e-compatible adventure and campaign setting for levels 11–15, launching on BackerKit on May 5th.
ElderBrain has earned a strong reputation for ambitious, story-rich fantasy campaigns and this one looks like their darkest and most dangerous yet. Set in the perilous mountain realm of Vordan, the campaign blends survival, exploration, and tactical warfare inside a hazardous sandbox, where ancient giant ruins, treacherous peaks, and fragile alliances frame a branching story of a realm slowly unraveling into madness.
New mechanics, including battlefield chaos systems, bring the conflict to life as players face a reality-warping threat from beyond.
Even better, the community can help shape part of the adventure before launch: pre-launch followers will vote on key elements such as a dungeon, NPC, magic item, boss monster, and subclass, which Ed Greenwood himself will then craft into an exclusive encounter location PDF revealed during the live launch party.
Following early also unlocks extra rewards, including evolving character sheets for physical backers and if you’re planning to jump in, the first 48 hours are the time to do it, with limited early-bird bonuses and exclusive rewards.
Follow Spawns of the Mindrender here!
That's all on our end for today, thank you all very much!
