First Images of NEW Fey! Pin Creation, and Surveys!
Hey Witchy Friends!
We wanted to do a small update and let you folks know what our expected timeline was going to be to get your witches and spell ingredients into your han...
We've sent out the last of the packages that have cleared surveys and shipping charges, so everyone should see their rewards headed to them now!
You should have received an email with your tracking information so you can keep an eye on things as they move through the world on our messenger's brooms. I think most everyone has likely started to see their pins and such arriving, but if they haven't arrived yet please keep an eye!
In the meantime, please check out our latest Backerkit, which we're super excited about! It's our very first TTRPG module in our brand new custom system!
Familiar Tales
Familiar tales is a super simple but really fun RPG about small heroes having BIG adventures! Our guiding light for this RPG was 5 minutes of character creation, 10 minutes of prep, and hours of storytelling. We just know that you'll love creating your character, whether it's a brave fox, a cunning mouse, a strong Meowmoth, or a magical Glimmergoat.
We'd super appreciate you checking it out if you've liked our campaigns so far! Your support would mean the world to us in getting this off the ground :D Early backers will receive a FREE set of dice, and all our returning backers will receive a FREE LIMITED EDITION PIN, which will only EVER be available through this campaign.
Pretty short update this time, but that's because it's nothing but good news! Fulfilment has begun, with the first 114 pledges labelled and packed as of today. They'll be headed to our freight forwarder tomorrow afternoon, and will be on their way to you right away. You should be able to check in your BackerKit account to find your tracking number so you can watch your reward's progress as it moves across the world to you :)
We've also just finished our latest campaign for Fey Friends, and we're officially going to be making plushies! The pre-order store will be up in a couple of weeks, and we'll create an update for that when it is.
Last up is the next campaign on the horizon, and it's one that we're incredibly excited about - Familiar Tales, a TTRPG about small creatures having big adventures! This is our own creation, along with the system that it runs in, Quill. This game is inspired by media like Redwall, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Wind in the Willows, Charlottes Web, and other similar books and films. The game is simple to get into, with a core concept of 5 minutes of character creation, 10 minutes of prep, and hours of play!
We'd love for you to check it out if that sounds interesting at all! We think there's something there for every roleplayer, and the system we are including is so easy to pick up you'll be playing as soon as the book hits the table. Please check it out HERE
We come to you with an update containing news both good, and less than good (but still probably ok?) Without any ado at all, let's dive in.
Starting with Something Fun!
We're finished with the Froggo Familiars! So, so much painting. We thought you might like a preview of your little friends (and their tiny butts!)
We hope that you like them, we think they're adorable. They'll be heading off very shortly to join your coven and we've mostly housetrained them, so you know, good luck!
The... Less Than Good...
Shipping across the Canada US border has never been super duper simple, but this week it got a lot harder. There's a lot of complicated stuff happening, but just boiling it down to it's most salient, there were a bunch of agreements and trade rules that existed to make shipping small things, or small dollar value of things, across the border pretty seamless. Someone came in and knocked over that carefully constructed Jenga tower of trade a couple of weeks back, and in doing so erased, overnight, all the ways we get things across the border. Now everything need to be stickered with country of origin no matter what the dollar value, everything goes through customs, and everything is subject to tariffs, customs fees, and taxes no matter what it is.
In addition, we're likely going to have to eat those fees in shipping, which honestly sucks. We won't be asking anyone for any extra money for this shipment, because there was no way for anybody to know, and we don't think you folks should be penalized for supporting us.
Obviously this has made things incredibly challenging. Our normal freight forwarder and broker has actually shut down this week in order to try and sort it out -
We are hoping they do manage to get reopened next week, because we've already started packaging everyone's rewards for fulfilment x( We'd really like to get them to you all as quickly as possible. As soon as things open back up again they'll be on their way, until then unfortunately we're stuck with the upending of decades of trade agreements and the fallout from that. One way or another we'll keep you updated, and one way or another we'll get things to you all.
One Last Fun Thing!
Can't end on a sour note! We have the next sample ready for our plushie campaign running right now (which you can visit and back by going HERE! Check out the GlimmerGoat! Oooooh, so glimmery!
This is the second of three plushies that you can pick up by backing the Fey Friends campaign, part of the Pin and Plush Pintopia 3. As always, we're partnered with the amazing Austin Hartell at Dungeon Artist, who is running a campaign full of stained glass monsters. You can check him out HERE! Back us both and receive 2, YES 2! FREE pins!!
Thank You <3
As always folks, thanks for sticking with us. We appreciate your support more than we can say, and we'll figure out how to move forward from here together. We're stronger together than apart, and nothing is going to keep us down. That we can guarantee.
We have a quick update on shipping (with good news, and a small challenge to overcome!) and an update on our latest campaign, in which we're offering pins and PLUSHIES!
Shipping Update
Good news first! We're expecting to begin shipping out everyone's rewards NEXT WEEK! We're really excited to be getting your pins, stickers, and dice out to you now that everything is completed. When things start arriving please let us know how much you love your witchy items :D
We have had one small issue unfortunately - the Whimsycraft Witch pin was made incorrectly, with the hat and other details not ending up black. We're going to need to start again on that one, but we expect it should be done by mid-February. Any pledges NOT containing one of these pins is going to be starting to ship out next week. Any pledges which DO contain one of these pins will be shipping out the instant they arrive :)
More Pins and PLUSHIES!
In very exciting news, our next pin and plushie campaign has launched, and FUNDED! We're working on unlocking plushie options now, as well as some adorable Flumphs :D (though if you've backed us before, you know we can't resist unlocking everything anyway xD)! Please check out the campaign, if you have a moment; we'd really appreciate your support to get these adorable little floofs out into the world!
Thank You!
That's all for this update! Again, thank you so much from both of us :D
