Hey everyone! 

It's been quite some time since the last check in, but we've all been quietly working on projects both within the Certifiable realm and beyond. One project we wanted to share with you is our very own Anthony Coffey just launched his Kickstarter for the Fantastical Felines series of collectible figures. The first in the series is the Fire Sage and we can't wait for it to come to life.

If you appreciate the quality of the Count Rath mini, this takes everything to a whole new level. Please check it out and show Anthony your support if you are so inclined. 

Thank you for being such an important part of the Certifiable family!

Hello Everyone!

This will be a quick update mainly targeting the remaining EU backers that have yet to get their orders.

The Remaining EU Backers: I was hoping the last batch of orders would have gone out smoothly but of course we couldn't be so lucky. While they were sending things out we were told there was still an inventory issue at the EU warehouse even after we sent a restock shipment. Luckily, that issue was a non-issue and everything is now resolved, but slow back and forth communications with GamesQuest (I guess they are busy) delayed things up until this point. All the remaining EU backer orders have been allocated and they should start shipping next week. 

As per usual, If anyone has any questions send me an email at [email protected]. I will help you with whatever I can.

Have a great weekend!

Hello Everyone!

I want to start off by thanking everyone for being extremely patient throughout this process. Things did not go as well as anticipated, but you all made the process far less painful. So, Thank you for for helping us through this.

The Remaining EU Backers: I wanted to wait and update everyone when I got an official response from GamesQuest that the fulfillment for the remaining EU backers had begun. I have asked GamesQuest for an update but have not received a response yet. But I have heard from some backers and seen the comments on here saying that they have received shipping notices. I have also checked the warehouse dashboard and seen that half of the orders have started moving further along the process.  That leads me to believe the fulfillment for the remaining backers in the EU has begun.  Keep an eye on your email inboxes. Hopefully GQ should make it through the list within the coming week or two (just my best guess). I will let you all know if I hear something that says otherwise from GQ.

If anyone has any questions send me an email at [email protected]. I will help you with whatever I can.

Have a great week!

Happy New Year (for most of you)!

Happy new year, everyone! 

For most of the world, we are happy to know Count Rath found you safe and sound and you are enjoying picking off the orphans one by one. Unfortunately, we are still struggling to make a few backers in the EU happy. If you are not in the EU and still need help with your order you can contact [email protected] with any issues. For any EU backers still waiting on their orders the next section is directed to you.

EU Backers that have not received their shipment: Even with all the efforts we've made to get the inventory in the right place to get the last sixty or seventy EU backers taken care of, things are moving more slowly than we'd like. There was either a glitch in the online portal that we trusted to be correct, or timing of inventory moving in and out, or something more akin to Rick not knowing how to read a spreadsheet, but we have quite a few orders being held up due to one or two parts not being in Germany to fulfill which in turn has put the entire order on hold. We have everything we need in the UK and are getting the additional inventory moved to EU with customs paid as quickly as we can, but the back and forth communication has simply been slower than we would like. This could be due to the holidays, but that should now be resolved. For this and all the additional patience this has required on your part, we are very sorry and our hope is to have all this fixed within the coming weeks. This will either be handled by waiting a few more days to get the entire order sent at once, or not waiting and requesting the orders be split up. We are hoping to finalize that plan Monday with GamesQuest.  Again, and this can not be said loudly or often enough, thank you for your patience. 

Rules, Fate Boards, and Screams: The Endangered Orphans and House of Rath pages on our website have been updated. You can now go to the Endangered Orphans section to get a digital copy of the rules. There you will also find the link to the scream generator for the Ghost of Benny Harris mode.

The House of Rath page has a link to the digital copy of the rules and a link to a fate board pdf file as well. The pdf file is a collection of all the fate boards in a print friendly format and set up in a fashion where you can easily print, cut, fold, and glue/tape them together. We would recommend that you use a slightly heavier paper when you print them. That way they match the ones in your game better. You might also notice that there is a bonus fate board in the file. Enjoy.

We know this hasn't been the smoothest campaign in many regards, but we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. We have suffered some setbacks, but we are still working towards getting everyone one what they are owed.

We truly hope 2023 is fantastic for everyone. Even Count Rath.

Finally?

Hey everyone! 

Here is the latest word on House of Rath fulfillment as far as we know. 

North & and South America: Quartermaster Logistics has begun! They are packaging everything and sending tracking notifications as we speak. They start on the packages in the farthest areas first since they will have longer transit time, but everything is starting to move. 

Europe, some of Asia, South Africa:  German customs is extreme. It took a month and many back and forth messages to get them finally happy enough to release the games, but they have now been handed over to the German hub as of yesterday. I have emailed GamesQuest to find out when they expect to start shipping and have not received an answer yet. My hope is within the next two weeks, but I can't be sure until they tell me. 

Most of Asia: VFI has confirmed they will begin fulfillment next week. 

Australia & New Zealand: Complete. 

Thank you for your continued patience. The orphans are almost, ummm...home?
