Coupon Codes in Pledge Manager
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 01:56:01 PM
Some of you have not been able to apply your Pull the Pin Agents shipping discount coupon codes in the BackerKit pledge manager so we wanted to give you an update on the situation.
The problem is that, by default, the coupon codes in BackerKit do not work if the only balance you have is from shipping costs. So if you're not adding anything on, you won't even see the Coupon Code field. The PTP Agents program was just getting started during this point in our last campaign so this is the first campaign where we've had a lot of usage for it.
We're still waiting to hear back from BackerKit on whether they can remove this restriction. Hopefully they can and then everyone can finish their surveys. If not, we'll have to do manual discounts for many of you, which will be a mess... but we'll do it. If you're one of the folks who wants to use their discount on shipping, just hold off on completing your survey for now. We'll have a solution in the next few days, one way or another, at which point we'll send another update.
Back soon,
Clayton and Brian
Coupon Codes in Pledge Manager Part 2
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 10:08:24 AM
This is only about Pull the Pin Agents promo codes, so if they do not apply to you, you can ignore this update.
We heard back from BackerKit and sadly there is no way for them to allow the Coupon Code to be used on shipping. So we're going to have to add what they call a "complimentary credit" instead and we have done so for everyone who mentioned they were having trouble adding it.
What You Need to Do
For those in the Pull the Pin Agents program:
If you ARE adding any items to your pledge, just use your promo code that you'll find in the app or on the web into the Coupon Code field when you are filling out your BackerKit survey after you have added your item(s).
If you are NOT adding any items to your pledge and have a balance from shipping, send us a Kickstarter message or email [email protected] and we will give you a credit instead.
Your credit card will not be charged until just before we begin shipping in January or February so, as long as you see the "complimentary credit" on your account, you're all set. You don't have to take any action in the BackerKit pledge manager.
Moving Forward
Since we like BackerKit a lot and we don't plan to change pledge managers any time soon, after this campaign, we'll just have to say that these codes only work on stuff you add on to your pledge because if this would have been a bigger campaign, these manual credits would have been a nightmare. We have submitted a feature request to BackerKit to allow these codes to optionally be applied to shipping costs, so hopefully they implement that feature in the future.
Sorry this hasn't been a smooth process everyone!

Live Campaign Heroic Feat Accomplished
over 2 years ago
– Sat, Aug 21, 2021 at 01:15:00 AM
The live portion of the campaign is now complete, heroes! Thank you so much for being our "allies" on this one and supporting us to this point. An extra shout out to @WEREDINO, @SAMHAIN, @Eckberger, @Dennis, @Ethan, @Ezekiel, @Joe, and everyone else who kept those comments lively! Keep reading for some juicy details on what's to come.
Final Facemask Poll Results
The black facemask with the Z has won the vote by a wide margin. That's a big change from the original one so I'm glad we asked you so we can give you the the style the majority of you prefers. And thanks for voting!
More Allies
In the final hour, we came within $75 of hitting the $20K stretch goal for 2 additional ally cards so we're going to pretend we hit it and include them in the ally pack. Hurray!
Your Name on the Big Box
Another stretch goal we can still include even though we didn't hit it is the one for putting your name on the Big Box because that doesn't cost us anything extra. Since you helped make this game a reality, it seems right that you can literally get your name on it. This is an opt-in opportunity for those who backed at (or upgrade to) a level that includes the Big Box so we'll ask you which name (if any) you'd like on it during the pledge manager. Pretty sweet, huh?!
Board Game Binge Not-So-Live Interview
Yesterday I (Brian) was a guest on Board Game Binge, a podcast and vidcast focusing on the people in the industry. It seems there was a technical snaffu with the "live" portion where we thought we were live but in fact we were not. Sorry if you tuned in hoping to watch live. :(
But we did talk about Zorro, this expansion, licensing games in general, and what's coming up next for Pull the Pin Games. Here's the recording of it if you want to check it out:
Schedule
The pledge manager will be sent out to you in about 2 weeks. That's where you can upgrade your pledge, add on specific items, correct payment issues, and pay for taxes and shipping. It's also where you can specify which name you want on the Big Box. We'll keep that open until the first week in October. Then manufacturing begins!
We'll keep you well informed as we go. That means you'll get one of these updates about once per month. If you ever don't see one and it has been longer than that, you just want a personal update, or you have a question, please feel free to send us a message here on Kickstarter or email [email protected].
That's it for now. Thanks again for making this possible and joining Zorro's fighting legion!

Final Days, French Rules, Live on Facebook
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Aug 18, 2021 at 09:47:59 AM
We have less than 3 days remaining, heroes! Here's a video backer @Steve sent over to us you can watch or listen to as you read the rest of this update because it might as well be the theme song for the campaign. Nice find, @Steve!
French Rules
We know the Zorro universe is a big hit in the French community so backer @Morgan graciously volunteered to translate the rules. We took the translations and created proper PDFs of each:
This is a unique and fascinating video. The creator of the amazing video for the game, Ori Kagan, went through the deluxe components we sent him from the original campaign as he describes how he put them into the video. Watch and learn what goes into creating a video like this.
Live with Board Game Binge
Brian will be live with Board Game Binge on their Facebook Page on Thursday at 3pm US Pacific time for a quick discussion about the game and likely some indie publisher types of topics. Or you can listen at your leisure later on their podcast or YouTube channel.
Now let's knock out some more stretch goals before the end!

Sergeant Garcia Spotlight
over 2 years ago
– Thu, Aug 12, 2021 at 12:13:03 AM
Greetings Heroes! Today we're going to talk a little about stretch goals and also shine the spotlight on the legendary Sergeant Garcia, one of the Zorro characters that may be at your side.
Stretch Goal Voting
Thanks so much for voting for the stretch goals you'll want to see next in the last update. We'll certainly knock out at least a couple more before the end of the campaign with the 48 hour notices going out in less than a week and we'll use your preference as we choose which ones they are. If you didn't vote in that update, you can still do so RIGHT HERE.
We're fully funded so this game is happening, but if you can think of anywhere to share the campaign with others, it would be great to get more folks to unlock more stretch goals!
Sergeant Garcia
Now let's talk about the lovable, Sergeant Garcia. Here's the Ally card for him:
You can see that he's one of the allies that gives you a bonus ability right from the start of the game (the scroll at the bottom) where you can force any player to help you on any Heroic Feat. He uses his authority as one of the Alcalde's soldiers to enforce his own rules.
His weakness is in the upper-left corner, which means you'll have to get an extra GRAB whenever you fight a Scoundrel or Villain. They were challenging in the base game/first expansion when attempting without adequate Equipment, but they will be even harder in this expansion.
If you can get him all the way up to the max level, you'll unlock another die you can use to help, which will be particularly helpful when you have to fight the villain who requires an extra symbol.
And if you have a couple minutes and want to learn more about Sergeant Garcia, here's a song Don Diego wrote about him:
Free Wallpaper
We gave away a sweet, free wallpaper on our pre-launch page featuring this expansion's box art. If you didn't get it there, you can still grab it RIGHT HERE!
Transcript from Social Deduction Network Interview
Our most prolific cheerleader in the comments, @WEREDINO, interviewed Brian at the beginning of the campaign. You can read the transcript RIGHT HERE. Watch out for all those puns and news drops in there as you read it.
