What’s new in the second edition?

Some of the most significant rule changes include a complete rework of the Harmony Magic system as well as expanded leveling/advancement rules. In addition to rules revisions and streamlining, the second edition also includes new rules, spells, and skills for tea pets and pet management as well as several expansions to the Verdant Isles world and to the village of Oakenbend. These expansions include new lore, locations, NPCs, pets, recipes, and more.

Do the physical books come with free PDF copies?

Have you released adventures beyond those in Oakenbend?

Yes, we release new content for Teatime Adventures in our bimonthly cozy games and fiction magazine, Cozy Companion. Several new adventures and lore pieces have been released through Cozy Companion which explore the Verdant Isles beyond Oakenbend. Subscribing to Cozy Companion is the best way to stay up to date with new Snowbright content.

Will new Teatime Adventures content continue to be compatible with the first edition?

Yes, with some minor modifications you will be able to continue using your first edition books with any new Teatime Adventures content that comes out. We know that some people have grown to love the first edition Harmony Magic tile laying system, however others have had a difficult time getting the system to the table. After listening to feedback from fans, the new Harmony Magic dice pool system was created. New Harmony spells will use the second edition system but can be adapted for backwards compatibility with the first edition system, and it is our hope that the new system provides more immersion and quicker Harmony casting for everyone.

Will I be able to add on items later during the Backer Survey/pledge manager?

What items will be available in the pledge manager?

A list of add-ons is posted on the campaign page. At this time, we do not expect any other items to be added to that list.

Will loose leaf tea be available after the campaign?

We are working with our partner, Friday Afternoon, to make tea available for individual purchase to the general public after all backer orders have been fulfilled. We cannot guarantee availability of blends or a timeline for this. If you would like to guarantee that you receive tea, we recommend that you pledge at the Tea Party tier.

How do I get the prelaunch tea reward?

To get the prelaunch Rains of Starsong tea bonus, you must pledge for at least two physical books ($50) or more (such as a box set tier). If you pledge for the Tea Party or Snowbright Star set, you will receive your full bag of Rains of Starsong tea from your box set pledge as well as your bonus amount from your prelaunch reward. This offer is only available for backers who signed up for the prelaunch notification prior to the campaign going live on Sept. 12. Your prelaunch bonus will automatically be added to your shipment.

What if I forget to fill out the backer survey?

Please make sure that you add Snowbright and BackerKit to your safe senders for your email. We send multiple reminders and often post on social media as well as surveys come out and wrap up. If you do miss the survey, and we have already locked surveys please email us at [email protected] for other options for setting up your shipment. We cannot guarantee that we can fulfill your pledge if you do not fill out the survey on time.

Last updated: September 08, 2023 07:39

When will you start sending out the games?

Please see the timeline listed on the campaign page. We expect to begin fulfillment by fall of 2024. We ship most packages from our warehouse in the southern United States. Your time to receive your package depends in part on your distance from our shipping location. When possible, we try to fulfill all pledge tiers at the same time, however if there are manufacturing delays on certain items we may split fulfillment. We try to send out PDF copies of products before physical fulfillment has begun so that you begin playing as soon as possible.

What do I do if there is something wrong with my items when they arrive?

Things can get bumped around in shipping! Please take photos of the problem and email us at [email protected] right away. Delays in contacting us about damaged items make it much more difficult for us to address the problem with shipping carriers.

Last updated: September 08, 2023 07:40

Can I change my shipping address?

Yes! You will be able to change your address in BackerKit. If you need to change your address AFTER the pledge manager has been locked, please send an email to [email protected].

Last updated: September 08, 2023 07:40

How often will we receive updates?

You may receive quite a few while the campaign is live! After that, expect monthly updates and special updates when there are exciting things to share!

Last updated: September 08, 2023 07:40

Why is tax and shipping charged later?

Charging shipping and taxes during the pledge manager phase allows backers to make changes to their pledges, like adding extra items or upgrading to a new level. This also helps us ensure that we get the best pricing for shipping for our backers. We did include a shipping chart based on current expected shipping fees to give you a general idea of what you may be charged when shipping and tax is collected, but keep in mind that shipping prices can and do change suddenly.

The PDFs have been sent out, but I didn't get mine.

We send PDFs through DriveThruPRG. The first thing we recommend is checking your spam folder for the email as sometimes notifications go there. If it’s not there, please email us at [email protected] and we will help sort it out!

Do you provide "friendly shipping" to my country?

Most international shipments will arrive directly to your door without additional fees due on arrival. Most international shipments will also require VAT to be paid in advance via the pledge manager after the campaign. Snowbright does not use the term “friendly shipping” due to differences in interpretation of the term. For more information about shipping estimates for this project, please see the Shipping section on the project page or contact us directly at [email protected].

My country is not on the shipping list. Are you shipping there?

At this time, our project is not available for shipping directly to customers in your country if it is not on the shipping list. If you would like to see our products sold in your country, please contact your local game store and ask them to reach out to us or to their preferred distributor to request our games.

Last updated: September 08, 2023 07:42

Is local pickup an option?

Yes, local pickup will be available for residents of the Cleveland, Ohio, area. Our pickup location will be Superscript in Lakewood, and backers will be notified via an update when items are ready for pickup.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
