Hello Terrarians! 🌳
We hope you’ve all been well while we’ve been recuperating post-campaign; thank you for helping answer questions in the comments 😀 Just a reminder; now that the campaign is over, we’re checking comments and KS messages once a week, so if you have an urgent query, please email [email protected].
BackerKit Pledge Manager Information
The pledge manager (BackerKit) is nearly ready; our setup is currently going through internal checks by the BackerKit team. Once it’s approved, we’ll send a small number of invitations out to check the system (known as a ‘smoke test’) and if things are working as expected, we’ll send the remainder of the invitations shortly afterwards.
The pledge manager is where you’ll be able to review your pledge, manage add-ons, purchase additional copies of the game and provide a delivery address. Closer to fulfilment, it’s also where you’ll pay for your shipping (and taxes if applicable).
We expect that the smoke test will happen next week; we’ll publish a mini-update when we start this process (along with more information about how the pledge manager works).
🍎❗ Important Information for AppleID Users:
If you pledged to the campaign using AppleID (i.e. using a @privaterelay.appleid.com email address), it is likely to cause issues receiving emails from BackerKit.
If you have used AppleID, please email us ASAP at hello@paperfortgames with your name, Kickstarter pledge number (which can be found in your Kickstarter pledge confirmation email) and an alternative email address; we’ll change it for you.
🐋Adoption Update
Since the campaign, we’ve also been working on the adoptions unlocked via social goals. So far, we’ve had confirmation of the Orca adoption via Born Free and Vulture adoption from the Hawk Conservancy Trust. It turns out that both of these already had official names (Springer and Simba), but we’ll continue to call them by their nominated pseudonyms; Fishron and Michael Keaton!
We’ve also applied for the penguin adoption at Edinburgh Zoo, the planting of 100 trees via Just One Tree and for the bee hive from Much Birch; that one’s particularly fun because we can paint the hive and put a plaque up on it too! We’ll keep you up to date as more info comes in 😊
💻 Desktop Backgrounds
All backers will shortly be receiving a private Kickstarter message that contains a link to the Terraria-themed desktop background; we hope you enjoy it!
We'll be back in touch once the pledge manager smoke test goes live; in the meantime, if you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Thank You So Much! + What Happens Next?
5 months ago
– Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 07:05:30 AM
Hello Terrarians! 🌳
What an amazing 3 weeks it has been! 😃 Thank you to every single backer; to each one of you who has shared the project, made a comment, voted for an adoptee’s name, joined us for an AMA, entered our build contest or helped in countless other ways; we couldn’t have asked for a better community 😍.
I (Chris) want to say a personal thanks to the Paper Fort Games team for working their socks off to make the campaign a success 🙏.
As a team, we'd like to thank Re-Logic for their unwavering support, and for allowing us to bring Terraria to your tabletop, as well as the fantastic freelance creatives who’ve helped us bring the game to life through art, sculpting, videography, soundtrack and voiceover work 💪.
❓ What Happens Next?
The whole PFG team will be taking a couple of weeks off to recover from the campaign; if you have any questions, please feel free to message us via Kickstarter or email us at [email protected] but please bear in mind we’ll answer once we’re back in the office.
Pledge Manager
We hope to open the post-campaign pledge manager (BackerKit) within the next 2-3 weeks. You’ll receive an invitation to the pledge manager via email (sent to the email address you use for Kickstarter). Here, you’ll be able to review your pledge, manage add-ons, purchase additional copies of the game and provide updated delivery addresses in the case of a house move. It’s also where you’ll pay for your shipping and taxes (if applicable).
You’ll receive emails from BackerKit before we lock orders and addresses, and before we charge cards for shipping. To avoid missing these emails, please add [email protected] to your safelist to stop them being marked as spam.
Comments and Messages
Once we are back, we will be checking and responding to comments on the Kickstarter page and to Kickstarter messages once a week. If you require an urgent response, please email us at [email protected].
Updates
We will be publishing Kickstarter updates once a month, starting in July, to keep you in the loop. We may post additional updates with important milestones or information, but at a minimum we will check in monthly to report on progress (even if it’s just to say ‘nothing new to report’!).
💻 Desktop Backgrounds
Shortly after we return, all backers will be receiving a Kickstarter message that will contain a link to a Terraria-themed desktop background; we hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for everything, Terrarians! 🌳

Mini-Update: Limited Edition Pwnhammer!
5 months ago
– Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 02:50:15 AM
🔨 Mystery Unlock: Pwnhammer!
Hello Terrarians! 🌳
Our final goal was the Mystery Unlock; we’re excited to reveal that every backer at the Gold or Hellstone pledge levels (including those who upgrade in the pledge manager) will receive a foiled, uniquely numbered, limited edition Pwnhammer card!
It doesn’t do anything right now, but maybe it will in the future… 👀
Please note; the card number you receive will be random and is not linked to your Kickstarter backer number.
We'll be back with our final update just after the campaign ends; don't forget to share the campaign with anyone who you think would like to get their hands on the Pwnhammer!

Final 24 Hours! Vulture Naming Poll Results + Final Stretch Goals + Mystery Unlock + Painted Miniatures
5 months ago
– Thu, Jun 20, 2024 at 07:21:25 AM
Hello Terrarians! 🌳
It’s the final day of the campaign; we can't quite believe it 😮 Thank you to all of your for being part of the journey; let's get stuck into today's update!
📊 Vulture Naming Poll
Thank you to all of you who voted in our poll; we’re pleased to announce that the name of our adopted vulture is… Michael Keaton?
Some of you may be a little confused by this (as was I), but Matt kindly explained to me that actor Michael Keaton (perhaps most well known for his roles in Tim Burton’s Batman or Beetlejuice) played Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Morbius.
So… Michael Keaton it is! 😄
🏁 Final Stretch Goals + Mystery Unlock
We had so many new backers overnight that one of the stretch goals we had lined up for today was unlocked before we even got to the office! It was the deluxe Bestiary upgrade; instead of a cardstock sheet, the information will now be presented as an easy-reference, tabbed, spiralbound tome:
WIP Bestiary Design
With our next goal, we’ll be adding the crafting menu to this deluxe reference too...
WIP Crafting Menu Design
... and finally, we have a Mystery Unlock! Some eagle-eyed Terrarians have already been discussing what they think it could be; let us know your theories in the comments… 🤔
🎨 Painted Miniatures
We’re very excited to share some fantastic videos from painter and long-time Terraria fan Gaweł! We sent some prototype 3D-printed miniatures (non-modular ones) to Gaweł and we were not disappointed with the results! Check out the amazing airbrush skills on display in the videos of King Slime and Brain of Cthulhu below, and follow Gaweł over on Instagram @gawegame as he shares the rest of the videos over the coming days!
📰 Next Update
Our next update will be just after the campaign finishes and will include details of what to expect post-campaign.
In the meantime, we’ll be in the comments and replying to messages as we enter the final stretch! 😊
Thanks so much for being a part of this campaign, for your kind words and enthusiasm, and being an amazing community!
Until tomorrow, Terrarians! 🌳

Final 48 Hours! GameTrayz + AMA Answers + Rulebook Update + Vulture Naming Poll
5 months ago
– Wed, Jun 19, 2024 at 06:27:53 AM
Hello Terrarians! 🌳
It’s official; we’re about to move into the final 48 hours of the campaign; Kickstarter has switched from counting down in days to counting down in hours which means we’re almost at the finish line 😊 It’s been an incredible few weeks; thank you so much for being part of the journey!
📤 GameTrayz Early Renders
We’re very excited to have received some early renders of the game’s GameTrayz inserts; these will be used to organise everything nicely in the box and to make setup easier.
Below is an early example of a boss box (these will hold the cards, miniature and tokens for each boss) and the enemy token tray. We’ll be changing the colours of these trays and adding details such as embossed icons and artistic flourishes, but we wanted to share these with you as they are a significant upgrade from the handmade trays in the gameplay video!
The remainder of the trays are currently being designed (card trays, player setup trays, biome tile trays and more); all of them will continue to be improved and changed based on the final component counts and shapes, but we’re confident that they are going to make setup and storage of the game a satisfying experience!
📖 Rulebook Update
We’ve just updated the game’s rulebook based on feedback from the community; you’ll find the latest version here.
Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to give it a thorough going over and to share their suggestion with us. We’ve actioned most of the points raised; a few need a little more time to address but rest assured we’ll be taking all of them into consideration. The rulebook continues to be a work in progress document, and will be improved until we go to print to ensure it’s as good as it can be. We’ll be adding the component images, additional diagrams, an index, glossary and quick reference section, as well as putting it through additional rounds of external editing.
Thanks to those of you who were able to make it to our AMA over on the official Terraria Discord server on Monday. We had a great time answering questions from the community; if you didn’t manage to join you can still read all of our responses here.
📊 Vulture Naming Poll
We had loads of suggestions for the name of our adopted vulture; we have chosen our favourite 10 and you can now vote here. The poll will close in just under 24 hours and we’ll announce the winning name in tomorrow’s update!
🏁 The Final Stretch!
We’ll be back tomorrow with our final update before the end of the campaign; we’ve got even more to show you before the end, including our final stretch goals!
