Hello, (Sorry for the double email for people who backed the Kickstarter!)
I have samples for the Seasons and Key Keepers Sets in hand, plus wooden boxes! It will be a little bit before I have the Helpers Set in hand, but I am happy to report that set is complete! These colors aren't all correct, we're adjusting some, but the designs are all final. And they look great. I have the proper colors all selected and things ready to go to the manufacturer, including the lords cards with foil elements, the dice symbol cards, and... Oh gosh, I need to write up their cheat sheet cards now and finalize the deck box! I know what I'm doing tomorrow then before I send it to the manufacturer!
Now, you can see the samples of the sets! I say it in the video, but the boxes are being nearly halved in depth, so they'll be a bit smaller. 10"x7"x1.6". The samples in the video are 3" deep. The cloths are also not the right size or material, but that's an easy fix. (I mailed over a cloth from the 2nd edition for them to check against.) And some dice colors aren't quite right, but overall it all looks really good.
I've still got guidebook work to finish over the next few weeks here in November, but once those are done we can get manufacturing moving December to January and be shipping in Feb/March. It turned out even just setting up the images in the books and updating the pages to have the dice colors has taken a while, not to mention the full page extensions of all die face meanings. I've already written half page entries for the Housewife and Black Lantern dice for their tarot guide books, so those are halfway ready as-is, just extending the cheat sheet card meanings for the Gametaker's dice now, then writeups on the Lords card meanings, overview 1-page entries for each die on what they are about as a whole, and then it's on to advice on reading the new grids!
It sounds like a lot, but it comes together quickly.
Talk again soon when I have the guidebooks together and ready, or if I get the Helper dice set samples quickly!
