Update #7: Shipping from Hong Kong

Posted on September 27, 2011

We just received word that the container carrying The Road to Canterbury is now scheduled to leave Hong Kong in two days--on September 28.  We still expect it to take a total of 5 weeks for the game to be in our warehouse in Kentucky.  The relic prints are now all ready and waiting in our warehouse to be included with the games as they are shipped out to you. The priority, once these hit the warehouse, will be to put the Kickstarter backers' games out in the mail to you on the first day of shipping.  The retailers and distributors will be second in line to get their copies.  We very much appreciate your patience.  We are quite confident that when you get your copy you will feel it has been worth the wait.

Again, many thanks for your support--Keith

Pledge $1 or more Pledge $1 or more

All your sins are pardoned.

Pledge $45 or more Pledge $45 or more

357 Backers

Level One—$45—A copy of The Road to Canterbury (all 3 of our levels include free shipping in the Continental US, add $20 for international shipping). We expect the MSRP of the game to be $60, so you save over 35% between the lowered cost of the game and the free shipping! (I can hear the Pardoner cackling in the background.)

Pledge $65 or more Pledge $65 or more

28 Backers

Level Two—$65—A copy of The Road to Canterbury and a 5” by 7” Relic Card, suitable for framing, certified as authentic by the Chief Pardoner himself, Alf Seegert. Just think of the possibilities—you can choose from The Scrambled Eggs of St. Benedict (a true Benedictine breakfast order filled with Divine Strength) or The Knickers of Saint Nicholas (there is a limit of two per backer please—some gifts are best left unopened) or The Accusing Finger of St. Phillip (pictured on the left). Several other equally valuable choices are available—all come with lifetime benefits!

Pledge $90 or more Pledge $90 or more

71 Backers

Level Three—$90—Two copies of The Road to Canterbury, one signed by the author; your choice of a Relic Card from Level 2; and Charter Membership in the Pardoner’s Guild—recognized by a “scroll” listing Charter Members, to be included in the game, and signed, using the hallowed Relic—The Writing Quill of St. Anselm—by none other than the Chief Pardoner himself. Great savings at this level plus you will earn our “eternal” gratitude!

Pledge $135 or more Pledge $135 or more

Level Four—$135—Three copies of The Road to Canterbury, two signed by the author; your choice of two Relic Cards from Level 2; and Revered Charter Membership in the Pardoner’s Guild—recognized by a “scroll” listing Charter Members, to be included in the game, and signed, using the hallowed Relic—The Writing Quill of St. Anselm—by none other than the Chief Pardoner himself.

Keith Blume is an MBA graduate of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (GSB). His career path to B-school is a little unorthodox. Out of high school, Keith joined the U.S. Marine Corps and served in the northern most capital in the world, the southernmost capital in the western hemisphere, and in a location where he watched the sun rise on the Pacific Ocean and set on the Atlantic Ocean. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University (Gig ‘Em Ags). As an engineer, Keith worked in the circuit protection and wireless industries.

In addition to his Marine Corps experience, Keith has coached Kung Fu and has worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business, where he presented a decision-making methodology he developed with one of his professors. Currently Keith is working in two dream jobs, one as the Managing Director of Gryphon Games and Eagle Games, and the other as a GMAT instructor for Manhattan GMAT. His biggest teaching responsibility arrived September 20th, 2003, when his wife Pam gave birth to their first child, Logan Alexander.
