Hi everyone!
Thanks to all of you who voted in all the many polls that have been run recently! Your feedback has been tremendously helpful in deciding the best course of action.

Since this update got quite long, there's a TL;DR at the bottom if you don't have time to read the whole thing :)

While 32% of those who voted in the original 4-choice poll opted for the 40 additional cards to contain the 40 Advanced Trainings that will be found in the book, another 68% voted for a mix of charms, pacts, and boons/blessings. In the binary poll that I created last week, I asked you to choose between either Advanced Trainings or a blend of charms, pacts, and boons/blessings and....there was still no overwhelming victor! In fact, the gap closed down to 44%/56% in favor of charms, pacts, boons, and blessings.

Since the vote was still so split, I reached out to my printer and got a quote for creating a whole new deck. My solution to the question of what to use the 40 extra cards in the box set for will be to add more charms, pacts, and boons/blessings since that will keep that product as a more cohesive box set.

However, I don't want to charge backers for another deck add-on just because the option they voted for is going to be created as its own product. Anyone who pledged for the Box Set of Intangible Treasures add-on during the campaign, or who adds it to their survey/pre-order will also get the deck of trainings for FREE. 

This new deck will be 60 cards, and will contain both the Advanced Trainings and the Epic Trainings found in the book. The Advanced Trainings will have their respective trainers' artwork gorgeously presented on the card back, and I'll figured out something else equally suitable for the Epic Trainings (for which there are no trainers as they are intended to be developed by the characters learning them). These cards most likely won't be gilded as that was going to more than quadruple their print cost (still looking into that though), but I think they'll be a fine addition to your collection nevertheless!

The new deck's eventual MSRP will be $20, so, combined with the eventual price increase post-release on the box set, pledges and pre-orders for the box set are essentially netting you a 37.5% discount on these cards.

If you've already submitted your survey but want to add the box set to get the free deck, you can still do that by going to your survey in the pledge manager and updating your add-ons.

With that exciting news out of the way...let's get into the other exciting poll results!

First up are the Histories. These were pretty split! The Tainted and Plaguewalker histories were definitely the most popular, with Dreamer, Betrayed, and Arcane Crafter coming in behind. Those five are the ones that will definitely be included in the book. However. If there's space to include the other 5, I probably will since a good chunk of those voting voted for them as well! If not, they'll be mentioned in an appendix as inspirational ideas for you to pull from.

The pact entities were a bit more clear, with Mother of Strays, Dimitriesse, Saint of Small Odds, Revelry, Goddess of Revenge, The Storyteller, and Tirevalisyanir, Archfey of Lost Secrets gaining the majority of the vote. As with any submitted histories that don't make it into the book, the remaining 5 will be included in an appendix with their currently written pitch for you to pull from as inspiration for additional entities your party might encounter in your game.

The Tainted history was submitted by Secretrider, the Plaguewalker by SweetLawOfGrace, the Dreamer by D. Vyin, the Betrayed by Rose "Gaming Mistress" Whitcomb, and the Arcane Crafter was adapted from submissions by Stormguard555 and Oliver Peltier. The Mother of Strays was submitted by Rowan Irelia, Dimitriesse by Colin "Tin Man" Kulsa, Revelry also by Rose "Gaming Mistress" Whitcomb, The Storyteller by Ethan, and Tirevalisyanir by Joanna Villafane.

Thanks to everyone for your submissions, and for voting! Backer-submitted content is one of my favorite things to include in my books when I can, despite the extra work it usually involves.

The vote on what to do with cards was even more split with the 2-choice poll, so I'm creating a separate deck with the advanced and epic trainings to give everyone what they want. This deck will be included for free with the box set for anyone who pledged for it or added it during their survey/pre-order, bringing the total MSRP discount of the box set add-on to 37.5% during pre-orders. You can still add the box set as an add-on in your survey if you haven't already - even if you've already submitted your survey.

We also selected 5 histories and 5 pact entities to include in the book, with the rest going into an appendix of inspiring content.

Thanks again for your support!
