Pledge Manager Launch! (Critical)
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, Jan 26, 2023 at 11:35:45 AM
Greetings Slayers,
The Pledge Manager Has Launched!
Invitations to the Pledge Manager start going out today! We will be sending these invitations out in batches hours apart, so some of you won’t get an invitation until later in the day or possibly Friday in your time zone. Invitations go to your Kickstarter email address and come from Backerkit.
You must use the Pledge Manager to get your order! In the Pledge Manager, you can select a language, choose add-ons, and enter your shipping address.
Late Pledges - This update is for Backers only. If you’re not a backer and waiting to Late Pledge, it's coming very soon! We’ll announce when late pledges are available via: email (from our newsletter), a future Kickstarter update, Facebook, and Twitter.
Timeline
Here is a rough timeline for the Pledge Manager. These dates will get more precise in future updates as things progress.
- April 4th, 2023 - Survey Completion
- Summer 2023 - Shipping & VAT added into PM
- 30 Days Later (minimum) - Lock Orders & Charge Credit Cards
- Autumn 2023 - Lock Shipping Addresses
Deadline - Please complete your survey by April 4th so we can guarantee your order. We will begin manufacturing based on how many orders we have at this time. Orders placed after that will come from extra stock, which may run out.
Step by Step Instructions:
- Follow the link in your email from Backerkit to the survey.
- Confirm your Pledge and Shipping region. Click “Switch Your Pledge” if you want to adjust your pledge.
- Answer Survey questions.
- Choose Add-Ons.
- Enter Address info.
- Enter card and confirm your order. You will NOT be charged until later (see below).
Charging Payments Later - Your card will NOT be charged upon completion of your survey. We’ll be charging you later, closer to fulfillment. Shipping and VAT charges will be added into the system later this year. We'll notify you when shipping costs are added to the Pledge Manager and give you at least 30 days notice before charging your card for any remaining balance.
Why are we charging later? It’s our policy to never make a profit off of shipping costs, so we don't want to overcharge you. We also want to be prepared in case there is another global shipping crisis like what happened during the pandemic. Accurate shipping prices are good for everyone, and delaying shipping charges greatly reduces the project’s risk.
What if I don't want to enter payment info now? You can stop on the last step and not enter your payment information. We'll still see your order in the system if you got that far. Be sure to enter your payment info when we send out the 30 day notice that cards will be charged.
Cultists - If you backed for $1 or without selecting a reward, you MUST click “switch pledge levels” and select a new pledge to receive a reward.
Multiple Pledges - Click “switch pledge levels” and choose this option to order 2 pledges. The menu only allows one language for both pledges, but contact us if you want two different languages and we can manually change it for you. Each pledge comes with all daily reveals and Kickstarter exclusives. We can’t guarantee that there will be a combined shipping discount, but if we can arrange that, we will.
Downgrades - If you downgrade your pledge, you will have leftover credit which you can use to purchase add-ons and pay for shipping/VAT when that is charged later. After your card has been charged, we can refund 90% of any remaining balance upon request (this is the amount left after Kickstarer, Credit Card, and Backerkit fees).
Support Questions - Please click "Need Help?" on Backerkit for Pledge Manager support. They know their Pledge Manager better than we do. If they can’t help you, they’ll refer you to us. You're welcome to contact us through Kickstarter messages or [email protected] if you still need help.
That's all for now!
See you in the Spire,
Pledge Manager schedule & Feedback deadline

Greetings Slayers!
Pledge Manager Schedule
The Pledge Manager Launch is scheduled for January 26th! Expect an update from us then along with an email invitation to Backerkit. All of your questions will (hopefully) be answered in that update.
Localization Lock
February 1st is the day we send all files to be translated! After that, it becomes difficult to make major changes to the game. So if you ever wanted to playtest the game or check out the rulebook, now is the time! The window for feedback is closing.
Japanese Campaign
In case you didn't know, we will be offering the game in Japanese! Our Japanese partner Kenbill has even launched their own crowdfunding campaign: https://kibidango.com/2313
Even More Cards
Behold!! We have even more new cards to show you!
Until next time...
See you in the Spire!
Pledge Manager Delayed, Rulebook & TTS Update
about 2 years ago
– Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 11:15:37 PM
Greetings Slayers,
Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Contention Games and Mega Crit! Two pieces of news: First the Pledge Manager launch is delayed (details below). Secondly, as a holiday treat, we added some new cards! These were added in a huge Tabletop Simulator update today that includes a rulebook update, new content, and tons of tweaks. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Pledge Manager / Late Pledges Delayed
We've been setting up the Pledge Manager with Backerkit and have a couple of items that are causing delays. Firstly, Backerkit has some exciting new features we want to use, but we are still working out some tricky details. We also have some new language partners in the works, and we need more time to work out production and fulfillment details with them. We expect to resolve these issues and have a Pledge Manager update for you mid-January.
The Pledge Manager will be open for months, so not to worry, you'll have plenty of time to enter your address and adjust your order. And we'll give you lots of notice regarding when it is closing. When the Pledge Manager launches, you'll get an email invitation from Backerkit and we'll announce it in a Kickstarter update.
If you're unfamiliar with Pledge Managers, it's a site where you can enter shipping information, adjust your order, and pay for shipping & applicable taxes (VAT). We'll be using Backerkit for the Pledge Manager and Late Pledges.
Rulebook & TTS Update
Today's massive Tabletop Simulator update includes: rulebook update, cards added to each class, more relics, a new solo relic, "Upgraded card rewards" where the card is instantly upgraded, lots of balance tweaks, and almost all of revealed content added (Act IV Elites, Heart Keys, harder encounters, more rares etc).
Join the playtesting on our Discord server! Thousands of comments from STS fans like you have helped the game improve tremendously. We'll be updating the game until we hit that print button. Until then...
See you in the Spire!
Campaign Close: The Heart Defeated

– Sat, Nov 19, 2022 at 11:55:51 PM
Greetings Slayers!
We are incredibly humbled and grateful. What started with a small team's love for Slay the Spire has grown to include almost 30,000 of you. The whole team: Gary, Andrew, Arjun and Penny, as well as our wonderful partners at Mega Crit, Anthony Giovanetti and Casey Yano would like to extend our gratitude. You have slain our Hearts.
Working on this game we know and love and being able to share it with you has been an amazing journey. We'd especially like to thank the playtesters who've shared it with us since early development and all the backers who contributed to the playtesting during the campaign!
The Final Vote
The final winner of our foil vote is none other than Snecko Eye! Enjoy the shiny art, but try not to get confused.
Pledge Manager
We plan on opening the Pledge Manager in December. We'll send an invitation to the email address associated with your Kickstarter account when it's ready. In the Pledge Manager, you can upgrade to a higher pledge, select a language, choose add-ons, and enter your shipping address. If you backed for $1, you will get the Kickstarter exclusives if you upgrade to Slayer's Pledge or higher.
Playtesting
We're committed to making Slay the Spire the very best it can be. We're going to take a few days off to recuperate, but then we'll get right back to developing the game and updating Tabletop Simulator with the latest content. If you're interested in playtesting, make sure you join our Discord server! It's also great place to find someone to play with or give us feedback.
Updates
Our journey doesn't end here! We'll be updating you on our progress until you have Slay the Spire in your hands! Email is always the best way to contact us ([email protected]) and never hesitate to reach out to us if you have a question or concern!
See you in the Spire,
