Open for Business
15 days ago – Wed, Nov 06, 2024 at 08:34:09 AM

Hello ninja faithful! After a single week away from the end of the Kickstarter campaign we are writing to announce the NINJA BORG preorder store is now open for business! Tell your friends and help us unlock the goals of our ancestors. 

The link can be found on the main page or by clicking the image below!

In the meantime, consider joining our discord. It's a fun, frolicking place, full of fantastically friendly folks! 

Hugs and kisses,

While we wait on the pledge manager...

Alright ninjas! Here it is, the last and final prize drawing! Everyone in the running still has a chance! Three homemade shurikens getting hurled at the board, three numbers hit (only one stuck though, the backer panel is too messed up at this point for them to embed, so pipe down Olaskos). 

If you didn't win anything but you still really want one of those sweet, limited edition linocut prints, they will be available to add to your pledge or buy in the preorder store, but quantities are limited. If there's enough demand I might make another series in a different color ink. 

Enjoy your weekend and when you next hear from one of us, it'll be to announce the preorder store is open. Pledgemanager surveys will be coming out a little later this month.


Hugs and kisses,
Walt and Rugose

O ninjas, my ninjas,

That’s it. It’s finished. Like the black-clad shinobi of yore, NINJA BORG has chopped heads, slashed melons, and kickboxed evildoers, and now it slips silently into the darkness. But it yet lurks in the shadows, ready to land a spinning roundhouse kick upside the heads of any douchebags, jagoffs, and other sunsabidges who kidnap presidents, blow up dams, and steal money from tip jars at fast-food restaurants.

TLDR: the Kickstarter campaign is over, and the BackerKit pledge manager is coming soon!

In the pledge manager, you’ll be able to adjust your pledges and buy add-ons, which you’ll probably want to do since all late pledges will continue to unlock additional and more betterer stretch goals.

Now that the initial funding is over, though, we MFNMs will commence our epic team up with our calligrapher ninjas (our guest contributors) and our red-pen ninjas (our editors) to finish the core book’s manuscript and start knocking the teeth out of the additional missions for the zine—which will be available in print, bee tee dubs. If you haven’t already bought a physical copy, then you should head over to the pledge manager and add one to your order. Did we mention that the BackerKit will be live soon?

What’s that? You added the zine during the campaign, but you’re still SUPER PUMPED and want to spend even more money? Way to be, ninja! You’ll want to check out these other Kickstarter campaigns.

Plunderlust:Our good friend, guest writer, and space ninja Brian Colin is running a campaign for his new card game set in the Vast Grimm ’verse. It’s almost finished, so cartwheel over there ASAP.

Mörk Org: Some more of our ninja kin at Beyond Cataclysm have launched this Borg-compatible hack that delves into the bleakest, most miserable experience in known existence: office work. It’s the perfect game to chop heads as a Mörk Ninja.

Heresy Supreme:The official MÖRK BORG video game has funded and is near the end of its campaign. This may be your last chance to get early access and some sweet swag. It is also probably your only chance to get a pre-chopped goat head decorated by Johan Nohr himself.

We’d love to stay and chat more, but a princess just got kidnapped by the reanimated cybercorpse of Ronald Reagan. A MFNM’s work is never done. Peace, love, unity, and respect, ninjas.

Final 24 (well 21 if you insist on accuracy)!

It's the final 24 hours folks! We've killed another of the Stretch/Budget goals prior to the campaign end! The Mission Zine will most assuredly be happening. We are less than $1000 from the movie poster and NINJOLO Rules. Unlocking the poster prior to the end of the live campaign period would be ideal as it'll set us up nicely to get the soundtrack unlocked with late pledges.

Time is running out to lock in that 25% off MSRP discount. Post campaign it's going to drop to 15% on the PDF and core rules. 

It is time to make bad decisions my friends! Like this person...

Once the campaign ends it'll take us a little bit of time to get the pledgemanger set up, so the best way to assure yourself of victory is to pledge now. 

Hugs and kisses,

Walt and Rugose

Final 48 Hours!
23 days ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 03:31:12 PM

Hello ninja faithful! We are in the final 48 hours! But fear not, late pledges will be available through the Backerkit Pledge Manager, if not immediately; shortly after the end of the campaign. That will remain open for pledges until we sending things off to be printed. 

Currently we are offering the core rules in both PDF and print at a sizeable discount from our planned retail pricing of $19.99 and $39.99 respectively. This discount will decrease a bit at the close of the campaign, but you'll still be getting NINJA BORG at a discount over retail pricing on late pledges. 

The last thing I want to mention is the Stretch Goals and Add-on items. Just a reminder, stretch goal was a little bit of a misnomer, Budget Goal would have been a better name. We intend to continue counting late pledges towards those. So keep your add-ons people, most of them are still going to happen. We may make some adjustments to lower production costs and get the price of the box down for example. Absolute worst case, if we don't get the money to fund your selected add-on, the money you spent will go towards your shipping costs. 

We are almost at the end of this first phase of bringing NINJA BORG to life and we thank you for coming on this journey with us. 

Hugs and Kisses,

Rugose and Walt
