Officially-Licensed Red Rising Playing Cards! Based on the first trilogy by Pierce Brown. Characters Illustrated by Briana Crotinger.
Hey Everyone,
just a quick heads up. I had The Society Dealer Coin add-on mistakenly set at $18 U.S. / $20 INT. in BackerKit. It’s now fixed, and set at the correct $16 U.S. / $18 INT. price.
thanks, Randy
Thank you all for your support! We did it!!!
This update is mostly informative for next steps.
The two main things to touch in this update are:
(1) Errored Credit Cards and (2) BackerKit
ERRORED CREDIT CARDS:
Kickstarter is touchy with Credit Cards sometimes. So there’s always a number of Errored Cards.
If you’re having a problem, the best way to resolve it is by contacting Kickstarter Support.
This link may help as well:
Kickstarter allows for 7 days to fix any payment issues. After 7 days, they’ll automatically change you to a Dropped Backer.
But there is hope for Dropped Backers even! One of the great things about BackerKit is that a Dropped Backer from Kickstarter can resurrect their order within BackerKit.
BACKERKIT:
A lot of you have asked about BackerKit. The BackerKits will go out in about 2 to 3 weeks.
We still need to build the Red Rising BackerKit, and today is the first day we could do so (BackerKit needs to import all of the Kickstarter data for setting up SKUs and Add-On stuff). I’ll get the BackerKit setup within the next week or two, test it out to make sure it’s working smoothly, and then send them out to each Backer (you’ll receive a BackerKit Invite to the e-mail your Kickstarter account is using).
I think that’s all for now. If anyone has any more questions, please shoot over a PM or e-mail me at [email protected]
P.S. - production on the Red Rising Decks started on the Kickstarter’s launch day! Everything is going smoothly, and hopefully we won’t have any setbacks or problems (knock on wood!).
Thanks, Randy
Hey Everyone,
We’re coming into the last week of the Funding Period. Again, thank you all for your support!
To celebrate the final few days, we’ve decided to release the last 2 Stretch Goals at once. The first is the Diecut House Mars Dealer Coin. It will have a Black Nickel Finish and Red Enamel accents on both sides. The House Mars Coin will ONLY be available as an Add-On Item ($14 U.S. / $16 INT.). If you would like to add the House Mars Coin, you could add funds in your Bonus Support area over the next few days, or you could wait and do it solely within BackerKit.
The last Stretch Goal is a COMPLIMENTARY 2-Sided Bookmark that will be included with every package! The Holographic Cards were unofficially our first Stretch Goal, so we wanted to end the campaign with a similar giveaway item. The Bookmark will be 2”w x 6”h and features a lineup of 6 characters on the Front, and the remaining 6 characters on the Back. A perfect accessory for this project!
Thanks, Randy

What is BackerKit?
We’ll be using BackerKit for shipping addresses and add-on selections. BackerKit make the whole process very easy!
After the project ends, you’ll have a credit within BackerKit. You can then easily specify which add-on item(s) you want, al a carte style. When it comes to that point, if you still have some questions, just shoot me a PM or e-mail ([email protected]).
If you prefer, you could also wait to add extra money for add-on item(s) until after the Kickstarter project ends.
Hey Everyone,
This update is just a quick reminder and some info for tomorrow’s Silver Gilded Set release!
I will be adding 175 of the $90 Silver Gilded pledge tier tomorrow - exactly at Noon EDT. A minute or two later (as fast as I can, without using Kickstarter’s glitchy timed releases), I will add 65 of the $210 Brick + Silver Gilded + Coin pledge tier.
Here’s a Link to Kickstarter’s official help section of how to change Pledge Tiers (https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005126814-How-can-I-change-my-pledge-amount-or-reward-selection-).
Below is a little FAQ I put together, based on my experience with Backing Kickstarter projects.
Thanks, Randy

Available February 16th at Noon (Eastern)
We had initially planned on announcing this as a stretch goal reward halfway through the campaign but then we sold out of the Gold Edition of Gilded Decks faster than Sophocles scarfing jellybeans and blew past our stretch goal like Sevro running from laundry day. We've had lots of folks asking about making more Gilded decks available so we moved up the timing on the announcement!
To ensure that everyone has an equal chance at grabbing one, the Silver Edition will be made available on Feb 16th promptly at Noon (Eastern) as two new pledge tiers on the Kickstarter.
Instructions on how to change your pledge can be found here.
The Red Rising GILDED Set / Silver Edition is LIMITED to a quantity of 250 (240 available). The Silver Edition will feature almost all the same details as the Gold Edition: a rigid 2-Deck Box with Magnetic Closure, 1 Red GILDED Red Rising Deck and 1 Black GILDED House Mars Deck. To differentiate between the unique editions, each Gilded Deck in the Silver Edition will include a Silver Foil Sticker on the left side of the Tuck. Each Sticker will be hand-numbered and will be hand-signed by Red Rising author Pierce Brown!
Why are there only 250 being made available, you ask? Well, authors need their hands to write and giving Pierce carpal tunnel syndrome with more signatures would be counterproductive to us all getting Book 6 soon.
Thanks so much for your support!
xoxo,
Randy, Joel and PB
