Hey, backers! Two brief, but important messages today.
“I Never Received My PDF Download Codes!”
Many backers have been emailing us recently with the same problem: they never received the email with their Anime 5E PDF download codes. In nearly all cases, the solution is simple and one that you can resolve without any assistance from us.
Check Your DriveThru Account
If your Kickstarter email is the same as your DriveThru account email, the download links are likely conveniently waiting in your DriveThru inbox. Once you log into your DriveThru account, you can retrieve your inbox messages (and PDF download codes) here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/account_notification_inbox.php
Email Us For Support
If you still don’t seem to have all the download link emails, please follow up with us directly at [email protected] with as much detail as you can. This will allow us to address your situation quickly and efficiently. Please do not send us Kickstarter messages, or post in the campaign comments section, or post on social media.

Many of you will have already received these PDFs as free stretch goal rewards. If you’re missing one or more of the files and you’d like to pick them up, you can purchase and download them today:
Shipping Update Plus Anime 5E PDF Now Widely Available
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 05:36:42 PM
Hey, everyone. A couple of quick updates today.
First, some shipping news. The first cargo vessel has arrived in the Vancouver, Canada area with half the Anime 5E products (see image above). If everything goes well, it should spend a couple of weeks clearing customs and driving to our US warehouse before it’s ready for Kickstarter fulfilment. Of course, we still need the other half of the Anime 5E products as well (which has already left the factory), but this is some great progress after a long delay waiting to book cargo space on an ocean vessel.
Anime 5E PDFs Now on DriveThruRPG
Since we now have confidence that Kickstarter fulfilment isn’t too far away, we have released the Anime 5E RPG and expansions for immediate sale on DriveThruRPG. As our awesome Kickstarter backers, you’ve enjoyed eight months of exclusive access to the game – and we though it was time to let others join the party, too.
Here are the URLs for the five products released today:
In the coming days, we will also release the campaign stretch goal PDFs for sale, as well as the soundtrack files.

Exciting New Year’s Message
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Jan 03, 2022 at 11:28:18 PM
Happy New Year, everyone!
Let’s get to the exciting news: the second half of our Anime 5E products will be shipping from the factory next week! This means that we are one important step closer to fulfilling your physical pledges because all the books and expansions will be en route to our warehouses.
As we outlined in Update #71, there are still many potential delay points before you are holding Anime 5E in your hands – but we are thrilled to finally have some solid progress. When we get closer to release we’ll do a final call for address revisions, but for now we thank you for your continued patience and support.

Finally! A Shipping Update!
almost 5 years ago
– Wed, Dec 08, 2021 at 02:22:29 AM
In our last campaign update six weeks ago, we had said about the status of physical product shipments: “When we know, you'll know.” Finally, we have some news to share. 🥳
After working with numerous freight brokers and getting nowhere, we have finally found a results-focussed company who has booked cargo passage for half of our product from the factory in China to our three distribution warehouses (US, Europe, Australia). Deals are signed, and some of the Anime 5E products will begin moving at the end of next week. The brokers are still working to book cargo space for the other half of our products, which are shipping from a different factory. Unfortunately, we need products from both factories to arrive in our distribution warehouses before we can begin fulfilment; half the cargo is a great first step, but we need that second step too.
To say that this multi-month process has been frustrating is an understatement. We are encouraged by the recent good news, though, even if freight prices are 400% what we had expected when we started this process in the spring. While the delays to book cargo space seem to be coming to an end, the journey is far from over, though.
Here are the potential next steps and possible delay points:
Second half of our product freight is booked, but we don’t know when
Ocean transit time (roughly a month) shouldn’t experience any delays
Ship may wait weeks before it can unload in destination port
Customs may delay release of products once unloaded
Cargo may wait for ground transportation to pick up and deliver
Processing many thousands of orders will take time
Consequently, we can’t reasonably provide an accurate estimation when physical products will be in backers’ hands. There are many steps between now and reward receipt, with so many potential delay opportunities.
Thank you everyone for your ongoing patience. We’ll be in touch when we have additional details.

Another Anime 5E Shipping Update
almost 5 years ago
– Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 04:55:03 AM
Happy October, backers! If you read our previous September Update #69, you’ll already know that we have been experiencing fulfilment delays of physical rewards.
The Anime 5E line has been finished printing and has been sitting at the factories in China from one to two months (below are photos of press samples, which look spectacular). Our freight broker has tried repeatedly to get our games on a cargo vessel with no success because there just isn't any room available. We've been told "hopefully soon now" so many times we've lost count. Once the game is on a ship and on it's way, it will unfortunately still be several more months until the products are in customer hands. We are hoping that spring 2022 remains a possibility.
tl;dr We don't have any reliable updates to share. When we know, you'll know. It's incredibly frustrating for those who are awaiting your pre-orders, and we are sorry for the extended delay. Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding.
