UPDATE!!

Hey everyone!! I'll start off by saying I'm so sorry for the delay in surveys! If you haven't received yours yet, it's because I haven't sent them out yet. June was unexpectedly insane, starting off with my first encounter with COVID and then just spiraling from there T.T
However, silver linings abound - the production portion of the dice finished much sooner than I was expecting! Currently I'm throwing the Backerkit out for a final review, and once it's approved, the surveys will be sent out to all you lovely folks (hopefully!) by the end of this week, or the beginning of the next!
I truly appreciate your patience friends, and again I'm so sorry for the delay. I'll be much more on top of communications, and thank you especially to the few who contacted me with questions about the surveys, I greatly appreciate the reminders.
I'll be posting an update once the Backerkits are confirmed to be sent out, and then one more once fulfillment begins! In the meantime, stay healthy and don't forget to love each other!

Hey everyone, how're you doing? Hope your April and May months have been good to you!
In the next few days I'll be sending out this thing called a Backerkit, which is essentially a really nifty tool where you'll enter in your shipping info and also where you can add anything extra to your order!
You'll have the month of June to fill that out so I can make sure I can order enough packaging for everyone :>The sooner y'all fill it out, the better!
Aside from that, everything is moving right on track! I've ordered the dice and my enamel pins just arrived at my house, so I know I definitely have enough product for any extra orders that might pop through on Backerkit! If you have any questions about anything, please don't hesitate to message me personally, I'd be happy to clarify anything :>
Once again, thank you all so so much for joining me on this journey. I'm honestly so so grateful for your faith and support, it means the world to me that I've been able to stick my toe in a business that seemed so far out of reach, and it's all because of you guys <3 I really hope that these next few ventures I take will help me inch ever further into dice making and all that jazz :D
Unfortunately my cat is telling me it's time for bed, so until the next update my friends, have a wonderful week/month and don't forget to love each other! <3

HI EVERYONE!! I apologise for the weeks of radio silence, I work a full-time job aside from doing dice and pins, life just slipped away from me for a bit. But I'm here and I have an update!
So in a few days time the funds will enter my bank account and I'll put in the order for those sparkling blue dice we unlocked!! I've already received the hard enamel pin samples as well, and they look fantastic!
it's roughly the size of a quarter!
I think the only thing I'm going to have the manufacturer change is the recessed metal inside the horns! I'm gonna try to have them cut out instead, but otherwise it's beautiful for baby's first enamel pin!
I'll post another quick update once I actually order the dice as well, but until then, thank you so much for backing this kickstarter fam!! It's surreal actually holding my own creation in the palm of my hand o.o
I hope y'all are having a wonderful week! See you next update!
FINAL STRETCH

Hey everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely March! It's almost the end of this kickstarter, can you believe it??
For the final 3 day stretch, you may have noticed that I've switched around the third and fourth tier! Which means if we can boost this project to $2,000, I can offer you guys two different colors of the resin dice, along with the first enamel pin! I think it'd be a shame for you guys to only have one option of these designs and so I'm figuring out a way to accomplish it monetarily.
Also I'm working on getting small little placards to put in the packaging, as a way to display each of the stories for y'all to keep or throwaway as you please :> I'll post more of an update on that once the kickstarter ends :D
For now though, we have three more days to boost this baby up to $2,000 and to reach that secondary dice color! I think we can do it! Be sure to spread the word to your d&d groups and friends with hoard addictions!
Have a wonderful three days in the meantime, happy April, and don't forget to love each other <3

Hey guys!! Wow I blinked and half the month flew by, time is an illusion I swear. This update is mainly to celebrate hitting THE SECOND STRETCH GOAL which, admittedly happened a lot sooner than I was expecting and boy howdy did I get teary-eyed.
Congrats to everyone for achieving the first color set of dice, Soul of a Friend!! A little backstory, I named the first pair of pin+dice after a feature of my original fantasy novel that I've been working on for ages! In the world I built, souls are tangible things that sit in the cradle of your ribs. They're a thing that exists between life and death, tethered to your body for the duration of your life. They hold your hopes and dreams, childhood memories, and bear the marks of a person's experiences throughout life.
When you die in this world, your soul dissipates, cleansed and thrown back into the ether until another body tethers it to the earth again. Reincarnation, essentially XD
Except, some souls don't move on. Death is a traumatic thing, and some souls stay weighed down by the events of the life they've experienced. So instead of moving on to find a new tether, they sink into the ground instead. They grow into a bright, sky blue flower.
Hence, the skull enamel pin, and the blue hue of these dice :>
Hope you found that interesting! We still have a whole 17 days to go, lets see how far we can get fam!! Don't forget to love each other, and hope you have a wonderful week!
