Closing in on the End

Happy Monday, everyone! We have more Anime 5E Kickstarter shipping updates to share.
United States
The second freight has finally arrived in the warehouse and shipping to backers will commence later this week! Since there are nearly five thousand US orders to fulfil, it will require several straight weeks to pack and ship them all from the warehouse to backers. We expect this to wrap up by mid-to-late April.
Canada
The bulk Canadian shipment will leave the US warehouse this week and travel north. We expect it will take roughly a week or two to arrive, and then shipping will begin. If everything goes well, everything should be wrapped up by mid April.
EU and Australia
We had expected shipping to start already, but have been recently informed that fulfilment should begin this week instead.
UK
A separate batch of product will be sectioned away and shipped from the EU warehouse to the UK warehouse (should take a week or two), where it will be fulfilled to UK backers from there.
International
Naturally, backers in these destinations will take longer to receive their pledges since they need be shipped overseas from one of our warehouses. Timing is unknown, but these packages will ship out in the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience.
Address Changes
TODAY is the final day to make address changes! Email [email protected] as soon as possible if you haven’t already. After today we’ll do the best we can to accommodate address changes, but there are no guarantees your pledge won’t already be shipped to the address you previously provided to us in BackerKit.
Reminder: Read Update #77 if you want to avoid double shipping fees due to incomplete deliveries for a variety of reason.
These pandemic-related global supply chain disruptions have been hard on the gaming industry, and we greatly appreciate your patience as you wait for your physical Anime 5E pledges to arrive. The end is near!
We’ll check back again when we have more updates to share. Have a safe week!
Another Shipping Update, Address Changes, and More
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Mar 02, 2022 at 07:01:28 PM
Hey, everyone! With Anime 5E getting so much closer to fulfilment (FINALLY!), we wanted to provide another shipping update.
All the Anime 5E freight has arrived at the Australia warehouse and we expect fulfilment to begin shortly (once the warehouse sorts everything out). They’ll be the first pledges out the door to backers! 🥳
The second half of Anime 5E freight should arrived in our EU (Germany) warehouse this week, or possibly next week. EU customers will then be fulfilled from there. A separate batch of product will be sectioned away and shipped from the EU to the UK warehouse, where it will be fulfilled to UK backers from there. We expect this sub-shipment to add 2-3 weeks onto the delivery times for UK backers, depending on how quickly customs processes the shipment.
For the US, the final cargo ship is due into the Vancouver port on March 6th. It should then take a few weeks to clear customs and truck to our warehouse in Fort Wayne, IN. Once there, we will redirect several pallets to Canada for fulfilment in early April. Since there are nearly five thousand US orders to fulfil, it will require several straight weeks to pack and ship them all from the warehouse to backers. We expect this to wrap up by mid April.
International backers not falling into the above categories will be fulfilled by different warehouses in March and April, depending on the address location and products ordered.
Address Changes
All address modifications should have already been sent to us. If any backer missed the last call, though, and still requires address updates, we will accommodate you the best we can. There is a new process since we already sent all addresses to our fulfilment warehouses. Email us at [email protected] to let us know you need an address change and we’ll direct you to complete an online form. Your address change will not be processed until youcompletethis online form.
FINAL CALL For Superhero Kickstarter
It’s your last chance to back our current Kickstarter for the superhero RPG, Absolute Power – the second edition of 2002's acclaimed Silver Age Sentinels RPG. Funding just blew past the $100,000 funding threshold, which means that 15 sweet stretch goals are now unlocked — including premium book upgrades, additional PDF content, and bonus physical rewards — and there's still more than 24 hours remaining to unlock even more! Campaign closes Thursday, March 3rd at 9pm EST.
If you haven't visited the Absolute Power RPG Kickstarter campaign page yet, we’d love you to take a look. While it isn’t based on the Fifth Edition rules framework like Anime 5E, there are many thematic point-buy aspects that will now be familiar to you. Absolute Power might offer you the exact superhero adventuring experience you've been waiting for!
Thanks for all your support and patience! We’ll check back in when we have more information to share.
Reminder: Closing BackerKit and Getting Shipping Right the First Time
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 11:15:26 PM
Hey, all you wonderful backers!
Here’s a reminder that we are closing the Anime 5E BackerKit. Originally, we gave a deadline of today (Feb 21st), but since it’s a holiday in both the US and much of Canada, we are extending the cutoff until 6pm EST on Tuesday, Feb 22nd.
If you don’t complete the survey by this deadline, delivery of your physical pledge rewards will be delayed! So don't wait – complete your survey immediately, if you haven't already. Of course, most of you have done so, but there’s still some stragglers that won’t be receiving their products on time.
If there are no unexpected delays, we are still expecting shipments to occur over a several week period in late-March and into mid-April. We will provide further updates when we have them.
If you still need the BackerKit survey link because you haven’t completed it yet, you can retrieve a new one at https://anime5e.backerkit.com. And if you require further support, email [email protected] please.
Avoid DOUBLE SHIPPING Fees!
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive Anime 5E when it’s ready to fulfil. Everyone who pledged for a physical product paid a shipping fee through BackerKit, which will be applied to one shipment attempt. If your pledge shipment is not accepted for delivery or returned to the warehouse for any reason (other than our own fault, of course), you will need to pay the shipping fee again to receive your physical pledge.
Below are a few reasons your shipment may not be successful. What steps can you take to assure they don’t apply to your shipment?
➡️ Address that you provided to us through BackerKit is incorrect.
➡️ You live in a shared building that refuses or returns the package.
➡️ Someone living at your provided address refuses or returns the package.
➡️ Your package is held at a facility for you to pick up, and the facility returns it to the warehouse because you didn’t pick it up during their specified time.
➡️ Your delivery person drops it off at the incorrect address and that resident living there refuses the package.
If your pledge isn’t delivered because we made a mistake, naturally we will reship it to you at our cost. For all other reasons out of our direct control, a second shipping charge may apply if we need to ship to you a second time.
Reminder: Updating Your Address
If you moved to a different location between the time you completed your BackerKit survey and now, and you haven’t already updated your shipping address with us, you can email us at [email protected] with your new address. Please don’t email us just to check your address if you haven’t moved! With over 8,000 backers, we don’t have the resources to double check that you’ve entered your address correctly the first time.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to tell you all how much we appreciate your Anime 5E support! ❤️
Today, we have some news to share:
Mid-February Shipping Update
Things have been progressing smoothly recently, and the first half of the Anime 5E freight has arrived in our US warehouse! Here’s some other tentative dates we can share:
First half freight arrival in Australia – Feb 18th
First half freight arrival in Europe – Feb 18th
Final freight arrival in Australia – Feb 25rd
Final freight arrival in Europe – Mar 4th
Final freight arrival in US – Mar 14th
All freight arrival in Canada – Mar 25th
Closing BackerKit
Since all product will be in warehouses within the next month or so, it’s time for us wrap up the BackerKit survey. Here’s what you need to know:
FEBRUARY 21st is your cut-off date to complete your BackerKit survey. If you don’t complete the survey by this time, delivery of your physical pledge rewards will be delayed! So don't wait – complete your survey immediately, if you haven't already! Of course, most of you have done so, but there’s still some stragglers that won’t be receiving their products on time.
If you still need the BackerKit survey link because you haven’t completed it yet, you can retrieve a new one at https://anime5e.backerkit.com.
➡️ Address Updates
If you moved to a different location between the time you completed your BackerKit survey and now, and you haven’t already updated your shipping address with us, you can email us at [email protected] with your new address. Please don’t email us just to check your address if you haven’t moved! With over 8,000 backers, we don’t have the resources to double check that you’ve entered your address correctly the first time. 😁
Less than a week ago, we launched of our newest Kickstarter for the superhero RPG, Absolute Power – the second edition of 2002's acclaimed Silver Age Sentinels RPG. Backers have already blown past the funding target (95 minutes!) and we are deep into the stretch goals now.
This is the most aggressive product launch in our company's history, with a core book so large that we couldn't fit its nearly half-million words into a single volume! It’s not a 5E-compatible game, but we think it’s an outstanding addition to the superhero role-playing field.
In addition to the two-volume, combined 672-page core rules, the Kickstarter campaign offers a great selection of expansions and accessories, including a game screen and adventure, character folio, custom dice set, Tri-Stat System Core RPG rules companion, and more. If you’re a superhero gamer, you certainly don't want to miss this one!
Shipping Progress and Anime 5E Community Content
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Feb 02, 2022 at 05:13:21 PM
Happy Groundhog Day to all our awesome backers! Today, we have a few minor shipping updates for physical rewards and details on a new Anime 5E community content programme.
US Freight Status
As you know, our immense amount of Anime 5E cargo was split into two shipments from our factories in China. We’ve been told that the first half is arriving in our Indiana warehouse by Feb 14th! The ocean liner carrying the second half is due into Vancouver on March 4th. With expected landing/customs/trucking times, it should arrive in our warehouse a few weeks afterwards.
If there are no other unexpected freight issues, we expect fulfilment of physical rewards to US customers to take place throughout the month of April. It will take several weeks to complete fulfilment of thousands of orders. Due to the mix of products, we can’t begin fulfilment until both halves of our freight shipments are in the warehouse.
International Freight Status
Canadian and Mexican orders are dependent on timing of US delivery. We expect fulfilment of these orders in April. European and Australian orders should be shipping in April as well (cargo is still in transit to those warehouses), with other international orders processed roughly the same time.
Emporium: Anime 5E Community Content
In August 2019, we launched the Tri-Stat Emporium community content programme on DriveThruRPG, where BESM fans could create and sell their own BESM and Tri-Stat content.
We are thrilled to announce our recent expansion of the programme also includes the Anime 5E RPG system! With the new Anime 5E and Tri-Stat Emporium, you can write adventures, character/weapon/animal compilations, alternate game rules, fiction, world books, new setting/genre materials, enhanced, character sheets, artwork — just about anything you want! You set the sales price for your content (or give it away for free) and DriveThru pays you 50% of that price for every sale made on their site. It’s that easy!
If you're looking to create a game or expansion, or simply looking to download some third-party content for your Tri-Stat or Anime 5E game adventures, pop by the Anime 5E and Tri-Stat Emporium and take a look. There are even layout templates and art pack downloads to help support the creation of your content. In the coming months (likely Mach or April), we’ll release an Anime 5E system reference document (SRD) to help make releasing your own content even easier.
