Hey, all!

Sorry for the delay in updates. Not a whole lot new to report, as the tariff situation is still very volatile, but we expect to have at least a few more of the designs in the mail to us before the end of summer.

After the last update, our project manager spent 3 weeks sick in bed while managing the project for the tarot deck itself (we were funding the remaining card art), followed by recovering just in time to spend a week out of town for Kublacon [which fell on their birthday as well! 45 years!] (and where we saw at least one of you lovely backers in person when you stopped by our table!). After returning home from that, they have had a series of medical appointment follow-ups with their specialists only to learn they need three surgeries this year! Deviated septum (ENT specialist was waiting for their lungs to recover enough to withstand surgery), optic nerve lesion/pit in the left eye (they'll share the imaging from the optometrist below; it's actually on both eye nerves but is currently only dramatically affecting the left eye), and surgery on their left hip (avascular necrosis of femoral head alongside arthritis).

They are home for now, but over the next few weeks will be getting all those surgeries scheduled, so we don't know exact timings on some things until those are on the calendar to plan around. Will try to update monthly as we move forward, as much as health allows us to remember, so don't be afraid to poke in the comments to ask for updates - the reminders are appreciated, given the state of ... well ... *waves hands around* everything.

Here's the eye scans from last week's appointment. left vs right, and last year vs this. You can see the layer separation happening, it's kind of crazy!

Smoke tests just went out!

Thanks, everyone! 
We were not able to unlock any stretch goals, but I'm sure we'll produce them in a future campaign. As it stands, there are *three* fabulous designs to choose from, along with a fourth freebie for those of you who also backed our collab partner's campaign!

We appreciate each and every one of you! 

We'll likely be a bit quiet here as we wait for the funds to process and be released to us, and build the pledge manager where you can add additional pins, pick up a copy of the ttrpg, or a handmade Keepsakes plushie, and more. 

This is the custom pledge I mentioned in the prior update that will be an option to choose during the pledge manager, beginning to take shape!This is the first draft, so changes might be made based on the feedback from her tier backer, and of course further detail added once the pose and such are refined.

She is modeled after Socks the fox, and her key is a USB drive dagger.

Thanks to all you lovely folks, we are now funded!
This means that the patchwork horse and steggo are both available! 

In addition to these two, we have a longtime fan who has pledged for the custom tier, so we will be working with them on a design for their beloved fox plush, Socks. So come pledge manager, you will also have Socks as an option you can choose! We will share the design as it gets worked on. ✨️

Now we look towards our stretch goals! Our first stretch is a big one, but it will unlock two additional designs: the bunny and czlassic wind-up robot, below. 

We asked it before launch and had some lovely answers, so we'll ask it again! Is there a childhood toy you were especially fond of? What was it? Do you still have it? Let us know below!

Love from the team at Fool's Moon! ✨️
