Hey everyone,

I've been really, really ill. Bed ridden, crying with pain, the whole nine yards. I should have had the guide done last week and been sending files to the manu/locking in final print files for all items. But I'm at my work desk for the first time in a bit and I can tell I'll only be here for a little bit today.

I'm very sorry, my schedules have been so tight and intensive lately that any interruption just kind of takes down the whole thing. That said, the guide is close to done. I'm exporting the final layout file right now to share at this link here: Check out the (unfinished) guidebook.

It's just as it was before I got sick, so there's a fair bunch of stuff at the back (a few spreads and all the dice entries) that are just copy pasted to get the formatting across them, but without the info in place yet, and lacks the front pages. But it's so close to finished.

I'm still eating very very little food, but trying every day to eat more to get any strength back. I was nicely on track to hand off everything to manufacturing before the Hot Housewives went into their Launch project in a week, but this roadbump has thrown things off. I'm going to see what work I can get done today to catch up a little, then see where I can fit the remainder of the work on the guide to get things moving with manufacturing so I'm hands off on this sooner than later (meaning the remaining work is with the manu/shipper, so nothing is waiting on me anymore!)

Thanks for your patience all, and wish me luck as I take this over the finish line!

Hello all,

So the dice project ended, time has come, and I realize there's probably no reason for us to merge projects after all. The three projects, HHW Tarot, Misery Tarot, Oracle Dice, are all fairly close in size as far as backer count goes. So I'm going to instead adjust our surveys to let people who want to have their orders merged, have them merged!

This means we'll be staying here on this project with updates and general timeline for manufacturing + fulfillment. Right now I don't have a date confirmed for anything, I need to get the guide finished, get samples of the deck, packaging, and etc all together, and once I have that done, we'll get moving towards the end!

Thank you for your patience and for joining the journey with me. Expect the next update in a few weeks time, when I'm hoping to have the guidebook finished and good. 

I've been doing some readings with the deck lately for strangers and it feels really good. It's such a strong contender for one of my most used tools, I think!

Be back soon my friends,

Hello folks,

The only real things I had left to share here were the Deluxe Edition and journal, and I've decided to just share what's really available to share: This is the cover for the Deluxe Edition box! We don't have a mockup of the deluxe edition box I can share, or templates for it, so I really just can't show it off haha.

But here's the cover.

Enoch did an original piece for the cover of the TWISTED COLLECTION version of the deck. I thought it was a lot of fun, and I'm so looking forward to seeing this on the box all together! But we will have to wait on that it seems. From here, we're just cruising along while we wait for the Oracle Dice to wrap up on the 22nd. At that time, I'll move y'all to that project alongside the Hot Housewives backers, merging anyone who pledged to both so they have just one pledge, then hopefully we're looking at going into manufacturing. Kind of depends on if I get the guidebook completed in a reasonable time.

I'll admit, it's usually the guidebooks that finish last.  I'm just cool like that, I think! : )

If you missed it somehow, I know I've emailed a ton, but the Goblin's Oracle Dice went live last week and have reached their funding goal! If you have missed them, I've done a bunch of live streams of me reading with the dice, as well as videos on the campaign page of the dice being used, so you can learn all about them on the campaign page itself.

I'm also doing livestreams on the campaign page itself Mondays and Fridays from 10-12pm MST and 4-6pm MST, so you can even pop in today and check them out a bit. I'm also on request bringing in the Hot Housewives Tarot or the Misery Tarot for readings on their own, or with the dice cast over them!

So if you want to see the Misery Tarot in action, come join me in about 2 1/2 hours! 

Alrighty friends, stay tuned for when we begin looking at merging project, and until then, continue on the path of healing and stay happy my friends.

Welcome back to one of our final Misery Mondays!

We've seen... just about everything now. Everything but the boxes the decks are coming in.

Our Standard Edition features the Blade Smith with extended art over his frame. This is the box that will contain the guidebook and deck on their own. You can see the Square add-on image from the Dice campaign, which is right around the corner, here!

This is also closer to how cards will be cut. Enoch would like a bit less of the black border to show, and his wish is my command, I think. Now, this is a flip open, magnet close box like we did for the Alleyway Oracles which is the new standard for Pub Gob decks and divination bits.  This means there is a whole fun flap inside the box once you flip it open.

I have opted to use this space, which faces you when you open the box to get your deck, a reminder. That this is a deck, a tool, of kindness. That while it deals with hard, heavy things, it is meant to be a hand that leads us in the dark, not one that damns us, demeans us, or horrifies us. 

This means the last things for us to see, are indeed the Deluxe Edition, and the journal. Hopefully we have our template for the deluxe box in time, but if not I can mock it up decently well, I think. The Deluxe box is kind of like two of these boxes connected by a bigger spine, it's really wild, but it will be really cool.

We're on our way out now, friends...
See you next week for our final update on the progress of the deck! From there on, we're looking at the Oracle Dice project, then when it's complete and we know how many decks to order, we'll be heading to manufacturing and beyond.
