We're sending this message to those of you that supported our HOLIDAY MARKET campaign, because this campaign heavily supported our TRADING CARD endeavors.
We wanted to let you know that on our current KICKSTARTER campaign for TATSUMI: THE SERPENT MISTRESS #1-2, we just unveiled an unlocked tier: The Women of the DARK KONQUESTORS limited edition foil set!
There will be no more than 100 of these FOIL sets produced, and they're available in the ADD-ONS section of the campaign (in 1 set, 2 set, and 3 set quantities).
We're reaching out to YOU because we saw that collector's spirit in you. These cards won't be available at the pricing that they're at in this campaign once it's over, and we don't want to see you miss out on these wicked collectibles!
We know many of you have already backed that campaign - so THANK YOU. For those that haven't, we hope you'll consider it. We are super excited about this story arc and can't wait to share the next installment with you!
Use THIS link to get to the campaign, and hurry, it ends in just NINE DAYS, on Feb 13th:
Hey all! We finally got the HEIRS OF ISILDUR: The Perilous Prospects THE FINALE books in hand this past Monday morning (after a 4 day shipping delay). As of about an hour ago, all of those packages have been shipped, which means if you're someone that backed BOTH campaigns, your items are in those packages and on the way to you.
All of the packages that were not tied to the Heirs Kickstarter had shipped previously, and we know that some of you should already have those packages in hand!
So WHAT DO YOU THINK about these types of campaigns from us? Do you want to see more on Backerkit? Do you want to see more trading cards from us? More of some other type of merch? Anything youre interested in that we haven't done yet? Let us know - we thank you all for the support and can't wait for the notification that ALL packages are in hand!

Our next crowdfunding campaign will be on Kickstarter for TATSUMI: THE SERPENT MISTRESS #2, that’ll launch on JANUARY 27th, 2026! If you haven’t heard about TATSUMI - Think Pirates of the Caribbean and the live action One Piece meeting your favorite martial arts heroine! This issue will also have a guest appearance by the band THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD within the pages!
FOLLOW NOW, and join us on day one when her swashbuckling, high seas saga continues!
Okay everyone - we have some good news, and we have some... well... other news... for you all.
First, the good news: If you're someone that backed this holiday market physically, and were NOT also a backer of Heirs of Isildur: The Perilous Prospects The Finale, your packages are SENT. We also made sure that they have an expected delivery date of the 23rd or 24th. So that's the good news.
The OTHER news: Due to a series of unfortunate and frustrating events, our shipment of HEIRS OF ISILDUR: THE PERILOUS PROSPECTS got delayed... by TWO different sets of circumstances (none of which that we could do anything about from our end). The most impactful, and most recent is that the freight carrier (confirmed) made a mistake and left our palette off of the truck it was supposed to be on, delaying shipment by a day. We were supposed to have the issues in hand this morning. We explored every option known to man to try and get the books today, but despite our best efforts, there is no way that'll we'll have them in hand until Monday (as there is no way to get them from the freight carrier over the weekend).
So how does this affect you? IF you're someone that's a backer of both campaigns, your #TeamINSYM BKHM and HEIRS pledges are being shipped as one. With us not having the HEIRS books until Monday, we can't ship those until that time.
We FULLY expect (IF we indeed have the books in our hands on Monday) that we'll be able to get everything out on Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd. Just know - ALL of the items you've pledged for here are together, tagged with your name, and ready to ship. So it'll simply be packaging it up and getting it out the door as quickly as possible once everything is in hand.
(We'll be sending a similar update to the HEIRS campaign as well).
We will not let the grinch or krampus or whomever steal our holiday cheer. We're still excited to get all the rest of the packages sent out, and we're also making some awesome progress on our TATSUMI: The Serpent Mistress (there's concurrent work going on Issue 2 3 and 4 as we speak! Follow the campaign for issue 2 here - Launching late January 2026! www.tinyurl.com/tatsumi2 ) So although shipping has been delayed by a couple days, we're still in good spirits and we hope you are too!
Hey everyone - now that the (vast majority) of the surveys are back in hand, FULFILLMENT will start asap!
If you have any PDF / MP3 line items in your pledge, you should have received a message with a link to download! (other than Heirs of Isildur: TPP5 The Finale - that link will come when that PDF is released!)
Those of you who are eligible for the cross promo with LONE WOLF productions, we should be getting you our portion of those mp3s soon (Rob will handle his MP3 distro on that side).
PHYSICAL ITEMS: As of this weekend, all PHYSICAL ITEMS (books, poker chips, trading cards, etc...)have all been pulled and marked with your name on it. Once we get the physical shipment for HEIRS OF ISILDUR: THE PERILOUS PROSPECTS BOOK FIVE - The Finale in hand from the printer (which should be relatively soon), we'll be fulfilling that Kickstarter and this Backerkit Holiday Market at the same time (and if you backed both and were eligible for free shipping here, you'll get BOTH that KS and this BK campaign together!)
Lastly, if you realize there was something in the campaign that you really wanted, but neglected to pledge for, and want to get that item NOW, send us a message and we'll figure out a way to make it happen!
Hey everyone! We thank you so much for supporting this little holiday market campaign. We're so happy that you found little goodies that you felt like needed to be added to your haul.
So what comes next? Because this is a backerkit campaign, the use of pledge manager (instead of a simple survey like many of you might be used to) happens next. There's a lot of setup and back end approvals for this, but we're just about ready to get these out to you.
A couple things to keep in mind: As we notated during the campaign, shipping will be charged at the pledge manager / survey point. This is simply the way it's done on Backerkit, and we tried to help you be ready for this - THAT BEING SAID - if you're a physical backer of HEIRS OF ISILDUR: The Perilous Prospects Book 5 - THE FINALE, we've added you to a free shipping list (we're going to ship your items in this campaign, together with that campaign. No need for you to get charged twice, right?) Backerkit should be applying your name to the free shipping list if you qualify. ALSO - if you didn't already see - that book is FINISHED and we sent it to the printers yesterday WOOHOOO!
Lastly, AFTER the campaign ended we found ONE MORE SET of super rare trading cards, from all the way back in 2020, from the original Tales From Nocturnia trade campaign. This is four foil cards that have been in the vault since that time, as rare as they come, and a perfect supplement to the other cards for this title. When you go through pledge manager you should see this option there. Only SIX sets have been made available for this pledge manager. One of the coolest things about these cards - THREE of them were designed after draw-me-in characters. I bet you can't figure out which one was NOT designed around a real human person haha
That's all for now. Be on the lookout for those pledge manager surveys, for HEIRS TPP5 packs, and for our NEXT crowdfunding campaign, for TATSUMI: THE SERPENT MISTRESS #1-2 coming in late January!
