Hello backers, please see the backers-only section below for some photos of the in-progress pins.
Pin Manufacturing
Someone on Tumblr asked me about pin manufacturing a while back and you can read that post for some more details on the manufacturing process. As always leave a comment if you have questions.
Pride Angels Design Process
If you were curious about my design process for each of the designs I have some posts on Tumblr sharing my thoughts. I hope you find them interesting!
Blood and Holy Water WIPs
My next campaign after Pride Angels will be Blood and Holy Water, it will feature vampire and angel pins. It is expected to launch on Halloween! I have been working on the designs for it and thought I'd share some WIPs.
Backing Card
I finished the artwork for the backing card. I'm still working on the postcard but hope to share it soon.
If you are worried about either the backing cards or the postcard being too obvious and would prefer them omitted from your package, please contact Backerkit supportrequesting these be removed. They will forward your message to me and I will make a note to do so when packaging your order.
That's all for this update, I'll be back once I have more to share.
After a lot of chipping away at this finalizing the designs for this project in between moving, being sick, and starting school again for the first time in over four years, everything is at long last done for this project!
I am so sorry for the wait this has been-- I really didn't anticipate all the curveballs the end of the summer was going to throw at me or how difficult moving would end of being.
► SPIRITS OF SUBTLETY ◄
This design is a freebie for all backers, as a thank you for the tremendous support this campaign has received!
Hello Pride Angels backers and followers, the keychains have arrived. Here are photos, and I've posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblrshowing them in action.
For those of you who ordered keychains, please note the keychains come with a protective film that needs to be peeled off. I will include this reminder when everything has shipped.
Demisexual Keychain Misprint
There is one issue with the keychains: for the Demisexual keychain I neglected to flip the text. So these will be remade. Hopefully I will have them in time for when the pins arrive - but if not I will send a survey out to everyone who ordered this keychain to inquire if they would like the misprinted version, or would prefer to wait a while longer for the corrected version.
I'm still waiting on the other items. I'll be back with more photos once I have those.
All items are in to fulfill this project! Pins and coffee arrived this week. I will share photos of items as I unpack and inspect them all. To fund the next step of the process (inspection, handling, packaging, and of course shipping), I'll be charging cards for any add-ons and the shipping that needs to be paid! Over the next couple weeks I'll be finalizing what packaging I need to get all these goodies out to you. My next update will be in October.
This is also a reminder to the final 10 people who haven't filled their surveys, to do so! If you don't fill out your survey and make your final payment, I cannot send you all your Cafe items.
Reminder About Current Project
My current project, Collectors Guild Cafe 2025 Calendar (& more!) is over in less than 30 hours! If you need a 2025 calendar, or a fun new coloring book, or even just want to enjoy our first 10-page comic book, please join us in the Cafe. All physical pledges are receiving a free 3" Blaze the Phoenix sticker and a 2" x 6" Tree the Minotaur (Alister's wife!) bookmark!
As always, if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
Forward, toward horizons! Carly K
NOTE: as per my terms of service in the FAQ, if you do not fill out your survey and fully pay for pledge + shipping by December 31, 2024, your Cafe TTRPG will be completely locked and you will not be refunded. I am not a warehouse, so I cannot keep your surveys open forever, nor can I store items forever if they are not paid for or claimed. Any money you have already paid will be considered a donation. THE CAFE TTRPG PROJECT WILL FULLY CLOSE ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2024.
I am still waiting on the slow shipping for the pins to arrive!! Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you guys!! :)
In the meantime please take a look at the stickers! They're truly amazing, especially the metallic rainbow queerwolf!
If you only ordered stickers or keychains your order will be shipped first! Followed by folks getting pins :) Sorry for the delay, it ended up being more pins than expected due to all the possible combinations.
Hello everyone! We've got some updates on campaign merch and how the pilot development is going.
MERCH:
We've been finalizing the post-campaign survey, which will let you finalize details of your pledge perks such as shirt sizes or card variants. You can expect to see this survey in your email by the end of the month.
You will also have the opportunity to add "add-ons" to your order before it's shipped!
We've placed orders for some of the merchandise from our wholesaler, and the rest will be finalized once we receive your survey responses.
ANIMATION PRODUCTION:
We're reworking parts of the script based on notes from our new producer.
Once the script is finalized, we'll design any new materials, record dialogue with our voice actors, and start clean storyboards!
Thank you all for your patience- we're a small team and have had a lot of logistics to work through, but it's all to make sure you guys get quality merchandise and the best version of the pilot possible!
