Thank you all so much for your help in bringing Familiar Tales to life! We're so blown away by the support YOU offered to make this a reality, and we're so SO excited to be creating for you :D

The campaign has come to an end and we are going to be moving into the pure creative phase of finishing off the last of the writing, getting the art done, and then into layout.

Our final stretch goal at $12,000 was to unlock a final full module for Familiar Tales: The Wilds of Willowmere, where your party of brave little adventurers could step off the edges of the map to explore lands unknown! Beetle-riding hares, magical sprites, and the heart of Glimmer (magic) itself reside in the Wilds, and we were veyr ready to explore the unknown with you! Unfortunately we didn't quite hit the target, settling out about $1,255 below what we needed to make it happen.

We want it anyway. We're jazzed to work with some really awesome writers and artists, so here's what we're going to do! The Wilds of Willowmere is still a locked stretch goal, which means it can't be included in everyone's pledges, but we'll be adding it to the pledge manager as an optional add on that you can purchase at a MUCH lower price than it will cost later on. We expect The Wilds of Willowmere to retail at $45, so we'll be offering it in the pledge manager for $25. If you'd like the opportunity to experience even more of Willowmere and to explore the colourful and eclectic weirdness therein, please consider adding this add-on to your rewards in the pledge manager!

From this point we'll be kicking into production! The way BackerKit works is that it takes a couple of weeks for them to process pledges and deposit funds. You'll want to make sure your payment information is up to date so that there's no delay in processing your pledge! 

Once your pledge charge has cleared and BackerKit has transferred funds, we'll be releasing the surveys so that you can let us know exactly which rewards you want! You'll have a few months to complete this survey, and we'll keep it open so you can make adjustments and add things on. Once we're a little closer to fulfilment we'll close the survey. One important thing to note! Shipping will be charged a little bit closer to fulfilment as well. We want to make sure those charges are accurate, especially with all the tariff and border stuff going on right now, so we won't be hitting that button until we're ready to ship :)

I know I keep saying it, but I can't help but feel such incredible, intense gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you so much for helping us bring this to life. It's a true gift to be able to create for you, and we look forward to introducing you to Familiar Tales. 

See you in Willowmere <3
