As you’ve probably heard (or read), the Naked Truth Tarot Midnight Edition campaign has surpassed 250% funding — all thanks to you!
We truly appreciate your incredible support!
BackerKit will take a couple of weeks to collect your pledges, so please keep an eye on your inbox to ensure there are no payment issues that could delay your rewards when we start shipping.
Based on the poll results, we’re excited to confirm that two extra cards—the Lovers and the Tower from the first edition—will be added to this Midnight Edition deck to make it even more special.
If you encounter any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
Hi everyone! Thank you for your patience while we've been setting up the Pledge Manager. We just passed our review and everything should be good to go, so we'll start sending out the first batch of Backer Surveys later today. A random selection of backers will be part of this "smoke test" so that we can make sure the surveys are working properly (and iron out and any wrinkles if their not) and then the rest of the surveys will be sent out by this Friday!
Be sure to check your email inboxes for your Backer Survey, and if you don't receive one by Saturday June 28th, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Surveys will close and lock on July 31st.
And if you missed the live campaign, there's a second chance to get the oracle deck and all the other goodies in the Pre-order store!
Thank you again for your support! We're hard at work finalizing all of the art and guidebook content and we can't wait to get this project into the production phase.
Today's quick update is regarding the Vibrating Tarot "Survey" that has now been sent out to all backers.
Thank you to everyone who has already completed their survey.
You should see our Vibrating Tarot survey in your email inbox now.
If you don't see our survey in your inbox or spam/junk folder, try signing into BackerKit directly:
Sign into BackerKit,
Go to your profile in the top right hand corner,
Navigate to Your Pledges and Surveys.
Select the My Surveys tab.
You should now see the option to complete the survey.
We will be closing all orders closer to our shipping time, so there's plenty of time to change your address or credit card information if required between now and the end of the year.
If you run into difficulties while completing the survey, and you want to try using the BackerKit contact form on this page for help, please see the following link: https://vibrating-tarot.backerkit.com/faq
If you are having any further difficulties with the survey or you want to reach me directly, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime at: [email protected].
Thanks everyone, have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! A quick update to let you know that the decks are here and I've begun shipping them out to backers :)
Tomorrow, I will close surveys so they will not be able to be updated further, as shipments have already begun. Everyone is estimated to get their shipment in June / July.
Please make sure your credit card info is up to date so you can receive your decks! I will continue attempting to charge them until I close the project.
Thank you so much for supporting my art! If your surveys and charges for shipment have gone through, look for an e-mail from me for tracking information (you may need to look in your Spam folder if you can't see it).
I'm on track to have all the drawings completed by the end of June and the colors finished by mid July! Once all of that is done, I will send them off to the printer after some final tweaks and printing will begin.
I will complete the booklet and other design work while that is in progress.
Let me know if you have questions. The Backerkit store is now up and you can grab the deck if you missed out during the main campaign.
Comments are sometimes spotty post campaign. If you don't get a response, reach out to [email protected]
Sorry for the radio silence, I think I got Covid at that event and its kicking my butt still. I had to take a week or two off completely and then its been crazy busy. But things are happening behind the scenes.
Surveys were delayed while we pondered a couple of extra items. They should be going out very soon, possibly with some surprises in the add-on store. I apologise in advance - a lot of things have every card design as an option, so they are chunky to get through. For example, for the 'full collection' its going to ask you 22 times which pin that you'd like - right now we're figuring out a work around so you can note 'full set' at the beginning, then just pick the top option for each one. You can pick all 22 individually if you want to skip one and double up on another, though.
Sample pin orders are going in today, to check the size for elements like the stars, the marine snow, the detailing on the cards and also so we can approve the fixed palette codes for all the rest.
Some of the card art is being spiffed up a bit behind the scenes, all laid out there were definitely a few problem children haha. Nothing is changing too much, but you might see a few designs with extra shading, a few more details or a tweak or two in the posing.
That's it for now. Keep an eye out for a survey announcement soon ~
Over the past few weeks, Greg has been wrestling with getting Stripe to play nice with AlpenCrowd’s bookkeeping software… and let’s just say it’s been a bit more stubborn than expected. Normally, Stripe is super EU-friendly and integrates easily, so this little hiccup took us by surprise.
Since this is a fairly small project and surprise CPA bills can add up fast, we held off on launching the pledge manager to avoid increasing the number of transactions. We have now committed on launching a pledge manager next week and figuring it out as we go.
But hey, there’s a silver lining! Actually, two:
First, since the coins are engraved locally, that gave us the flexibility to just go ahead and start production on the first batch of non-personalized coins. So while the pledge manager’s a little late, production is already rolling and will run in parallel. The timeline’s not taking a hit at this point.
Second, I used the extra time to lock in suppliers and take some more photos! Especially for things like the pouches and printed guides, you’ll now see the final product in the pledge manager.
Can’t wait to open it up next week!
Thanks so much for your patience and support. Julia
Hi everyone, just popping in to remind you that there's just one day left until the survey closes. Please fill yours out ASAP so I can get your deck to you. :)
