Resolving Outstanding Pledges

Howdy, High Noon Community!
I'm reaching out with an important update regarding the delay in certain shipments. Upon further investigation, we've identified the root cause of the issue, and I want to address it directly with you.
Initially, I estimated that there were 15 outstanding pledges awaiting shipment. However, after thorough inventory reporting by our fulfillment center, it has been determined that there are actually 60 outstanding pledges. The delay in these shipments was due to a shortage in inventory at the warehouse.
The number on the Backorder column is how many units are outstanding.
I want to take full responsibility for this oversight. As fate would have it, I am currently on a long overdue vacation, and I only became aware of the inventory shortage upon my arrival at my hotel. Fortunately, a dear friend came to the rescue, communicating with me, locating all the necessary inventory in my office, and swiftly shipping it out to the fulfillment center before he, too, had to leave town.
As of this moment, all the required items are en route to the fulfillment center. You can track the status of these shipments using the following link: UPS Tracking.
Once the inventory arrives and is checked in, the fulfillment center will be able to resume shipments without further delay.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for your patience and understanding throughout this process. Your unwavering support means the world to us, and we are committed to ensuring that you receive your pledges as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Thank you once again for your continued support, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

High Noon: The Next Chapter
about 1 month ago
– Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 10:18:04 AM
Howdy, High Nooners!
I hope this update finds you all in high spirits and ready for some thrilling news from the wild west! I couldn't be more excited to share the latest developments with you as we ride closer to the showdown. Your unwavering support has been the backbone of this journey, and I'm incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
So, saddle up and get ready to rustle some excitement, because we've got some exciting updates to share that'll make you feel like you're right in the heart of the action. Let's dive right in!
Shipping Status: USA
Partnering with our dedicated fulfillment team, we've been making steady strides in getting High Noon into the eager hands of our backers across the USA. It brings me immense joy to report that the majority of our USA backers have already received their games and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive! From coast to coast, backers are diving headfirst into the action-packed world of High Noon and loving every moment.
Your enthusiasm fuels our determination to deliver an exceptional gaming experience, and seeing your smiling faces as you hold High Noon in your hands is truly the highlight of this journey. Thank you for your patience and support as we continue to ensure that every backer receives their game without delay.
Shipping Status: Canada
We encountered a slight delay in the fulfillment process as our dedicated team worked diligently to ensure that all VAT information for each item was meticulously prepared before shipping could commence.
I'm thrilled to confirm that as of today, our fulfillment center has everything they need to kickstart the shipping process to Canada! This means that your eagerly anticipated copies of High Noon will soon be making their way across the border and into your hands.
While delays are never ideal, please rest assured that we're doing everything in our power to expedite the process and get your games to you as swiftly as possible. Your patience and understanding during this time are greatly appreciated, and I'm confident that the wait will be well worth it once you're immersed in the thrilling world of High Noon.
Shipping Status: Europe
Almost all backers in Europe have now received their goods, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the positive feedback pouring in from across the continent. However, I must address a challenge we've encountered regarding the shipping of large items.
Shipping large goods from out of the country has proven to be a bit trickier than anticipated. Couriers are encountering difficulties discerning the true value of these items compared to what was initially paid for in the pledge. As a result, the majority of large pledges have been returned to us.
In response to this setback, we've had to get creative in our approach to fulfill these pledges. While it's been a complex puzzle to solve, rest assured that we are working tirelessly to address this issue. We've already begun implementing innovative solutions, and I'm pleased to report that we're making steady progress.
Additionally, please be aware that because the goods are being shipped from out of the country and not from our fulfillment center inside Europe, there may be additional fees from the courier that backers will need to pay to retrieve their goods. Unfortunately, we have no control over these fees.
Your patience and understanding during this time are invaluable to us as we navigate these challenges. We're committed to ensuring that every backer receives their rewards in full, and we won't rest until every large pledge is successfully fulfilled.
Shipping Status: Asia Pacific
Exciting news, partners! We've been receiving delightful notifications from our backers overseas, confirming the safe arrival of their High Noon packages. With each delivery reaching its destination, we're one step closer to ensuring that every backer in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, receives their eagerly awaited games.
Your patience and enthusiasm throughout this journey have been truly remarkable, and we can't thank you enough for your unwavering support. Rest assured, we're working diligently to ensure that all remaining shipments reach their destinations swiftly and safely.
The Next Chapter
In my vision for High Noon, I've always aimed to expand the brand into multiple arenas of entertainment through a richly developed universe. That's why the Starter Set included a map of the Great State of Saratoga, complete with key locations and landmarks where pivotal events occur and characters originate.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of the backers for the board game. Now, it's time to begin expanding into those areas, starting with my first thrilling announcement: my debut book, "Gunsmoke Trail."
Review Copy!
Synopsis: In Saratoga's unforgiving expanse, ambition breeds shadowy alliances and treachery. Governor McGrady, fearing the loss of his reign, manipulates the notorious gang Los Hermanos to maintain a facade of order. As McGrady's machinations unfold, Bonnie Beecher, the "Vigilante Virtuosa," and her Bandero Blondes rise in defiance, unwittingly caught in the governor's deceptive web. Meanwhile, Colonel Davis McAtte seeks vengeance, his quest intersecting with the grand designs of the cunning Diedrick Von Vatican, whose Vatican Ranch lies at the epicenter of these converging fates. Montana Azul plots within Vatican's formidable dominion, intending to use Bonnieas bait in a lethal bid for his own freedom, ensnaring the vigilant McAtte and his silent ally Monco. As the Rio de Estela courses through this rugged land, it echoes the entangled lives of those driven toward Vatican Ranch, where strategies clash and deceptions are revealed beneath the high western sun.
The climax simmers in the desolate town of Purgatory, where deceit, retribution, and elusive redemption collide at High Noon. Here, against the backdrop of High Noon's immersive board game universe, each character confronts their dark past and uncertain future, their tales weaving a tapestry of raw intensity that defines the wild heart of Saratoga.
This gripping narrative adds color and character to the expansion posses that backers currently possess and are also available at the High Noon store. It delves deep into the backstory of key figures and locales, enriching the overall High Noon experience and offering new layers of depth to the gameplay.
The book is scheduled to be released on Amazon on April 1st, 2024, and backers will soon be able to pre-order the book on Amazon Kindle.
Backers who went All-In on this Kickstarter will have the opportunity to receive the book for free. However, due to the nature of publishing, it will require a few extra steps. Once the book is live on the Amazon marketplace, I will share a post in the High Noon Ride or Die forum detailing the necessary steps to receive your free copy.
Every purchase of the book helps to get it listed as a Best Seller, which will go a long way to support the brand. So, please consider pre-ordering and/or purchasing the book for yourself or as a gift for a friend or family member. Sharing a link to the book with others will also help spread the word and support the High Noon universe!
Spreading the Word
Now that High Noon is out and backers are receiving their games, it's time to share the excitement with the world! I'm currently working on crafting social media ads to introduce High Noon to a wider audience, and I could use all the help I can get from our amazing backers.
If you're eager to contribute to the cause, I'm in need of photos and videos showcasing the fun and excitement of playing High Noon. Here's what I'm looking for:
Photos: Capture moments of laughter and enjoyment as you and your friends or family play High Noon. Show off the game and its miniatures on tables or displays in your home. For the best results, shoot in the highest resolution possible and use Portraitmode on your cell phone to blur out any background, making you and your game the focal point of the shot. Frame the pictures for 1x1 square photos, as that's what will ultimately be posted in social media ads.
Videos: Record videos that highlight the fun and engaging experience of playing High Noon. Include shots of laughter and excitement as players interact with the game. For the best quality, shoot in the highest resolution and use Cinematic mode on your cell phone to create a blurred background effect. Feel free to include cinematic shots of hands playing cards and moving miniatures around to showcase the immersive gameplay experience.
Once you've compiled your photos and videos, shoot me a DM and I will send you a instructions on how to submit them for use.
Your contributions will play a crucial role in spreading the word about High Noon and attracting new players to join the adventure. Together, we can make High Noon a household name in the gaming community!
To all our incredible backers, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm throughout this journey. High Noon wouldn't be possible without each and every one of you, and I'm endlessly grateful for your trust in bringing this wild west adventure to life.
As the High Nooniverse continues to grow and evolve, I'm thrilled to share even more exciting updates and adventures with you in the days to come. Your passion and dedication drive us forward, and I can't wait to see where the trail leads next.
Until then, keep your spurs jingling and your cards shuffling and don't forget to join our community on all platforms. The wild west awaits!
Birthday Update!
about 2 months ago
– Tue, Mar 05, 2024 at 12:57:16 PM
Y’all know what time it is!
Well, technically, it’s quite a few weeks early for an update, but today is my birthday!
But enough about me.
Really, a lot has happened, enough for an update, so I wanted to get this one out there for you all.
Last weekend, I made the day-long pilgrimage to our fulfillment center in Atlanta to apply the Origin Marks to the packages for Customs release. Bridge Distribution was gracious to allow me to work overnight in their warehouse, combing through pallets of games and making an absolute mess of what little free space they had on the warehouse floor.
I’m elated to announce that Customs has fully released the games and expansions for delivery! What’s more, despite having several projects in front of us, Bridge – the amazing supporter of this campaign that they are – stepped up and immediately began fulfilling pledges as soon as we got the green light.
This means many of you in the USA and Canada should start receiving your packages in just weeks, if not days from this update!
Pledges continue to roll out as we are officially in the fulfillment phase of the campaign! I couldn’t ask for a better birthday gift.
Keep an eye out for shipping notifications and deliveries!
As for the High Noon Store, I received emails from several people unable to place orders due to undeliverable addresses. This issue was entirely my mistake as I forgot to update the shipping settings in the store for US and Canada orders. This issue now appears to be resolved as a few of you have been able to place orders and I just shipped them out from my office.
If you tried to place an order and were unable to for this reason, please try again and if the problem persists, please contact me via DM or through Facebook or Discord and I will immediately look into it.
All proceeds from the online sales go directly toward paying off the outstanding balances for all of our vendors involved in getting you these games, so every little bit helps and I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support.
Please consider sharing the online store with your friends and family and encourage others to try out the game as our success currently depends on word-of-mouth.
We’re almost finished with our European backers, so if you haven’t gotten your games yet, just know you are on the shortlist and should be getting your expansions very soon.
Thank you all again for your continued support and patience as we work around the clock to wrap up this incredible journey in getting High Noon to all of your tables!
