WOO! Thank you so much for your support of my convention adventurers and your support and patience while we worked through a series of unexpected delays. I appreciate it all and I hope you love these pins as much as I enjoyed creating them!
I'm so thrilled to share that all Con Adventurers 2 pledges that completed the survey/payment process have been shipped and I'll be officially closing out the campaign on DECEMBER 15, 2026! Thank you all so much, again, for your support, and I hope you all love these pins as much as I loved creating them ^_^
❗❗If you haven't received a tracking notification or a package for your pledge, then you still have unfinished tasks to address - either an unfinished survey, missed payment, or you're a UK backer that has not reached out to wrap up your pledge. I'm unable to send you your rewards if these steps aren't complete. If your survey is not completed and payment processed by the December 15 date, your pledge will be considered a donation to the campaign and rewards can no longer be redeemed.
Looking for more? I don't have any new projects planned until 2027 while I continue to wrap up existing work and build in a little breathing room, but stay tuned!
Just popping in quick with a brief update. Pins all finished arriving early last week and grading/shipping is fully underway! I’m juggling shipping around a couple of conventions but am on track for shipping to be done by the end of next week.
Thank you all again for your patience while I wrap up all the steps here! Pins will be with you very soon!
First Pins Have Arrived, Small Delay on Shipping (Addresses Locking Next Week!)
Hello, Adventurers!
We've arrived at when I thought all the pins would be solidly in hand and getting ready to send out but have run into some delays along the way. A few updates below!
The first pins have arrived! Mini pins were delivered officially TODAY and grading has begun. They're so cute!
All other pin proofs (except "Compete") have been re-approved and are back in production. After the pins had moved into the production stage my manufacturer wanted to re-review a few parts of the proofs so we went back into proofing stage. It's important to note that this isn't a usual part of the process - usually once proofs are approved that means all parties are agreed on what the pins should look like and production is pretty straightforward and somewhat predictable, so this was an unexpected hiccup due to reasons outside of our control. However, we've officially moved back out of proofing and back into production (and I expect "Compete" to move into production this week) and I don't have any reason to believe that we'll revert back to proofing again at this point, which means the rest of the pins should be in hand soon. I'll send another update when these are for sure in hand!
IMPORTANT: I plan to lock addresses next week! Since some things have arrived, I'm going to start shipping out what I can as current pins are graded and then plan to ship as quickly as possible once the rest of the pins arrive. You'll all receive a 48-hour warning that addresses are locking.
My sincerest apologies for the delays and thank you for your patience while we work through them! This has been an unusual production journey for these pins but everything is hopefully back on track and I will be doing everything I can to get these out before the end of the month pending any further delays. I will note that it is possible I won't be able to ship some orders until early September. I will be away at a couple conventions the last week of August/first week of September and some of the production delays mean some of the pins may arrive just before heading to these conventions or even after. My goal would be to get them all shipped out before I head to the conventions if at all possible but we may have some really tight timing there and that's fully up to production at this point. I will keep you updated as we get closer to the end of the month and where we're at with shipping. Fingers crossed!
We're solidly in the production part of the process right now, but the end is in sight! Here's some insight into where we are right now:
The proofs for all six main campaign pins PLUS the early bird and cross-collab pins have been approved! This officially moves them into the production stage and means we should just have a couple more weeks before they arrive at my door so I can send them to you.
As a quick note, if you did back both my campaign and the Frankencorgi campaign by Robot Dragon Studios, we are shipping separately. You'll be receiving my "Make New Friends" cross-collab pin with your pin order from me. The Frankencorgi would come directly from Robot Dragon Studios.
Proofs are in process for the three stretch goal pins and mini pins. I don't expect this to take much longer and expect we'll be moving these last pins into production shortly.
Sticker sheets are here, more stickers incoming! Pic of the sticker sheets is below and they look GOOD! 😃These should finish arriving soon. It's been very fun seeing these in person! 🤩
Badge ribbon sticker sheet!
This should have everything arriving by the end of the month! I'm anticipating locking addresses roughly around July 22 (you'll receive a 48 hour notice) and starting to ship before the month is out. Very sooon!!
Looking for more pins?
My Mythical Bards 3campaign wrapped up just a week ago and marks the last new pins I have planned for this year right now (though I do have some I'm planning for early 2027!) Those are also heading into production shortly and should be arriving here just a bit after the Con Adventurers.
If you missed those, or any of my previous campaigns, I am participating in the Summer Pin Sale through BackerKit, where I will have full set of pins from all of my current pin series available. The summer sale kicks off on July 14!
Surveys are LOCKED in ~24 Hours (Plus Tiny Update to "COMPETE")
Hi, Adventurers!
Just a quick reminder that Con Adventurers 2 surveys are locking in roughly 24 hours. You should have received a 48-hour alert from BackerKit yesterday. I'm so excited to bring these to life with all of you!
I also wanted to share one tiny update on "COMPETE" for awareness. Nothing major, but I changed the sword color to black instead of white to help balance out the colors a bit more. Everything else is the same and any other changes from here on out, as always, would be minor tweaks as needed to accommodate the pin making process.
Updated "COMPETE" design - changed the sword from white to all black.
Hello, Adventurers! I’m so sorry for the long delay in updates, but thank you for your patience while I worked through everything! I’m happy to now be here with a pretty packed update, including design reveals, survey updates, and an updated timeline.
Thethree new pins - Care, Compete, and Create - are DONE and being made! These are available as add-ons for all current backers and in the pre-order store for anyone who missed the campaign. Thank you for your interest in more con adventures! If you wanted to add one or more of these to your pledge, please make sure to add them before surveys close! Supporting them now still helps support their creation, and I appreciate all the support in advance ❤️❤️ (Pics of the new pins are below!)
Surveys will close the morning of June 26, cards will be charged June 28. You should receive a 48-hour warning tomorrow, June 24, and the surveys will automatically close 48 hours after that. You should also receive a 48-hour warning for cards to be charged later on June 26, with cards being charged on June 28.
Orders with my manufacturers will start to be placed this week. This shifts our timeline just a few weeks, with fulfillment beginning roughly mid-July. I’ll keep you all updated with production updates as we go!
And, without further ado, here’s the three new pins!
CARE, focused on giving back to our communities.
COMPETE, focused on video game competition.
CREATE, focused on the painting and creation of mini figures.
WOO! Thank you so much for your support of my convention adventurers and your support and patience while we worked through a series of unexpected delays. I appreciate it all and I hope you love these pins as much as I enjoyed creating them!
