Pledge Over Time - 3rd Payment
4 months ago
– Thu, Jan 29, 2026 at 06:26:20 AM
Hey there everyone!
Final Pledge Over Time Payment!
We wanted to check in real quick to let all the Pledge Over Time folks that they should be expecting to see the third (and final!) charge for their pledge today or in the next few days.
As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.
Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
Preparing to send out Surveys...
Also, we're just about ready to start sending out surveys, but the last piece of that process is what's called a smoke test. To do this, we send out surveys to about 5% of backers to make sure everything in Backerkit is working as it should and that we haven't broken anything. We'll be conducting this test over the weekend, so those 5% of surveys will go out this Friday. If everything goes well, you can expect the rest of the surveys to go out by Monday or Tuesday at the latest!
While we do that, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. Once we announce that all surveys have gone out, if you don't see anything come through from Backerkit, check your spam folder first.
Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this: "[email protected]". Again, once all surveys go out, if you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email looks like one of these. You can try contacting Kickstarter support to change that, though we've seen backers have mixed results.
If either of the above situations is the case, or you can't find your email invite at all, please email [email protected]to let us know, and we'll get that straightened out for you. To expedite the process, please provide us with your name, backer number, or the AppleID email address so we can locate your account!
If you send us a message on Kickstarter, we may request that you send the message to our support email instead. Thank you.
If you are a Late-Pledge backer (if you choose to back this campaign after the funding period comes to an end), you will not receive a survey as all necessary information we need is collected upon check-out!
A Note on our Support Availability...
There are 1-2 of us who monitor support emails. We'll introduce ourselves in a future update, but for the moment, we want to fill y'all in on our availability.
First, we work 8am-4pm EST, Monday-Friday, excluding all US Holidays. If you contact us via email ([email protected]), you can expect us to reply in 3-5 business days, though typically much sooner than that.

Pledge Over Time - 2nd Payment
5 months ago
– Wed, Dec 31, 2025 at 10:57:57 AM
Hey everyone!
We wanted to check in to let all the Pledge Over Time folks that the second of three charges should have been processed earlier this week! There will be one final payment after this on or around January 28th. Once those have been completed, we'll be sending surveys out to all backers. We expect that to happen on or around January 28th, as well.
As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.
Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
GETTING SUPPORT...
Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge or have another question that does not pertain to Pledge Over Time, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST, and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response). Please be aware a majority of the Wraithmarked Team will be off for the remainder of the holidays and will likely be a little behind with support once we're all back online. <3
That's a Wrap!

Hey there, everyone!
Following up now on Bryce's last update now that the Wraithmarked Team is safe and sound in beautiful Utah for Dragonsteel Nexus! It's truly been a wonderful month and in the final hours, you've helped us raise more than $215,000! As Bryce said, we had zero idea what to expect with this one, but this has really been a wild ride for us. We're thrilled to be bringing this project to life, finally! Thank you all for the support! <3
MOVING FORWARD...
Here is what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.
First, Kickstarter will begin processing payments for your pledges. That will take approximately 2 weeks. If you did not use Pledge Over Time, this will be the full amount of your pledge. If you opted to use Pledge Over Time, this will be the first 1/3rd of your total pledge.
If you selected Pledge Over Time, your second payment will be on or around December 28th, followed by your third and final payment on or around January 28th.
Once the final payment has been made for Pay Over Time backers, we will send out all surveys to the email addresses you have attached to your Kickstarter account. We expect this to occur by or around January 28th.
Answer your survey questions and grab any extra Add-Ons you want. For those of you asking how to make your tier selections, you'll do that here. Due to the shipping beta test, shipping will be charged at this time.
As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us 1-2 times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. <3
As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.
Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
TO REITERATE THE SHIPPING BETA TEST...
In case you missed it on the campaign page, we are beta testing something new for this project (and likely for the rest of 2025)!
We've gotten a range of feedback over the last year about how to make our books more accessible to everyone, and one of the most common places we hear we could make a simple change is by charging shipping later so that it's an additional opportunity to split the product costs.
For this project, all shipping and handling fees will be processed on BackerKit when backer surveys are sent out (about 2.5 months after the campaign ends), rather than here on the campaign when you make your pledge.
THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING COST. We have outlined what every item's shipping will be post-campaign below so you can account for it immediately!
PLEASE NOTE: In order to keep shipping costs as low as possible—given that this product is $25 USD at base—Volume Zero will be shipped in basic padded mailers instead of Wraithmarked's usual illustrated boxes.
GETTING SUPPORT...
Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge or have another question that does not pertain to Pledge Over Time, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response). Please be aware a majority of the Wraithmarked Team will be at DSNX in Utah this week! If you have any issues, please allow us some extra time to reply. <3
Talk soon, and thank you all!
WE HIT 200k!
7 months ago
– Fri, Nov 28, 2025 at 07:08:12 AM
Holy CRAP yall! That's nuts!!
We honestly didn't know what to expect with this project, but this definitely eclipses anything Tim or I had in mind when we set out to put this together!
Eira and Heather are both off for the holidays, so here's my poor imitation of their Stretch Goal Updates!
With this final $200k goal secured, we can officially confirm that there WILL be an official "Vol. 1" of LABYRINTH coming in the future, probably in 2027 depending on how long it takes to get this Vol. 0 out to you!
Vol. 1 will be a brand new collection of art and stories from a range of artists and writers, along with the same education approach to process steps and breakdowns! We may have some fan-favorite repeats of creators, but definitely all new creations, so if you end up like Vol. 0 we think you'll love Vol. 1!
Oh... And there's a 90% chance we'll be opening up at least 1 or 2 story slots for community submissions this time!
If you have any questions, let us know, and Tim or I will answer as soon as we can!
Talk soon, and happy holidays!
Bryce
$150k Stretch Goal Smashed! Also a quuuuick heads up about the end of this campaign! Don't be worried if we're slow communicating right as the campaign ends!
7 months ago
– Wed, Nov 26, 2025 at 11:20:03 AM
First of all, thank you everyone for supporting! This has been an amazing success so far, and we're ecstatic to see the enthusiasm for projects like this! Speaking of... the $150k stretch goal has been crossed! So crossed in fact, that we totally forgot to update the campaign yesterday. Whoopsieeeeee... >.<
Unlocking this goal means that not only will we be commissioning brand new art, but that art will be on a custom bookmark which will be included with each and every book! Let's goooo!
We're sooooo close to hitting that final $200k stretch goal, and we still have the 48-hour mark to go (knock on wood)! We're so excited with this campaign, and we're thrilled you all are, too!
And now, handing it off to Bryce for the heads up...
One quick note: As those of you who have backed Wraithmarked projects are aware of, we tend to shoot out a good amount of information/instructions once a campaign ends to let people know what happens next!
We are going to try to get all that out in a timely manner this time around, but if you don't hear from us until after Dec. 8, please don't be alarmed!
Firstly, it's the Thanksgiving holidays here in the US, so 90% of the team is off Friday when the campaign ends! Then we promptly ship off to DSNX25 in Utah next week, and time to get online and stay on top of everything will be limited!
Again, we WILL get all notices and instructions to everyone as soon as we can, it might just be a week or so later than some people are used to given the above.
Let us know if you have any questions! I'll be online, so I'll answer what I can!
Talk soon, and thanks again for the incredible support!
