Project Update: [SotD] Survey reminder, adventure cover share, pre-order store is closed!
Most of y'all have filled out your surveys already (thank you!!), but there's still some outstanding, so I just wanted to remind you that I'm locking orders (which will charge cards for any upgrades) on the 30th. I know I said the 28th, but I'll actually be at WonderCon this weekend (Table A14 in the Artist Alley - come say hi!), and likely will forget until Monday, as this is something I have to do manually.
If that changes anything for anyone and you prefer me charge/lock your order on the 28th, please let me know!
I also wanted to share with you the cover of the extra bonus adventure zine.
Again, to remind folks, this is going to be set in the days of Prohibition in San Francisco. As someone who lived in SF for 13 years, I got acquainted with some of the history of the city, and there's lots of urban legends about the tunnels underneath SF Chinatown, which is ripe for occult gatherings and illicit dealings.
Being that this is a historic campaign, your coven will need to first infiltrate organized crime, and then the actual Order of the Dark Wheel, before you can put the full power of your spell-slinging might to use. Not only will your coven need to find creative solutions, magical or otherwise, to get to the bottom (literally) of what the Order is up to, you might also need to put on that detective's hat to find them in the first place...
Thanks again, and I'll be sending one last reminder about surveys before the week is through.
Cheers,
Rick
PS - The preorder store is now closed. Thank you!

Project Update: [SotD] Surveys are live! If you missed yours, here's how to get it.
I hope if you're affected by the heatwave you're staying cool!
Quick update - I just wanted to make sure y'all knew the surveys have gone out. I know that most of you have already filled it out, but I just wanted to make sure that if you haven't yet, you know where to find it.
Again, you'll have until March 28th to fill out your surveys before I lock the orders.
Lastly, if you can't find your survey, you can always go here to get one re-sent to you: https://sistersofthedawn.backerkit.com/
Thanks again, and you'll hear from me next week with a reminder for any last-minute survey takers and some solid production updates!
Stay cool out there but stay ICE-free,
Rick

Project Update: [Sisters of the Dawn] - surveys soon, dice decision, updates!
I hope everyone had a safe weekend.
I spent last week preparing for the surveys to go out - BackerKit advises to send out surveys two weeks from campaign's end, so they should be all set to go out this Friday. If you've been a BackerKit backer before, you'll be familiar with the idea of the "smoke test," meaning that a small sample of surveys will go out Friday, and then the majority of surveys will go out on Sunday or so.
This is to catch any screwups on my part, like linking the wrong product to a SKU or random backend stuff that you shouldn't worry about too much.
Anyway, all that is to say that you should get surveys by Monday, March 16th at the latest. If you don't have a survey by then, please feel free to reach out! You'll have two weeks (until March 30th) to submit surveys, so please submit as early as possible so I can make sure I have accurate counts for everything, which in turns makes it easier for me to make sure you get everything!
And for anyone that missed getting in on this campaign, the pre-order shop is open until March 20th, so make sure to get your copy of the game here.
Also, I think I've said it before but just in case - I'll be charging shipping separately, meaning you'll get one last charge from me closer to when I'll be shipping things out. I expect that to be early May at the latest.
Finally, you all have spoken and chose the dice to be released as part of the game.
These swirly blue and purple dice have been chosen!
Anyway, the rest of the week is working on the new campaign, polishing the guides, and working on layout for the whole thing.
Thanks again and have a good week, and let me know if you've got any questions!

Project Update: [Sisters of the Dawn] - We did it! Dice poll reopened! Cat photo!
Sorry, this is for reals the last email for a while!
First off, THANK YOU so much for bringing the Sisters of the Dawn to life. I literally couldn't do it without you!!
Secondly, of course, the poll ended up at a tie, so I'm reopening it through the weekend.
If you've already voted, you don't need to vote again. But if you haven't, I'm hoping you'll push us over the line and help me make a decision. If the poll still ends up tied by Monday, I'll let my own personal familiars, Mike and Eleven, choose from two snacks representing the options.
Anyway, I'm super grateful for all of your support, and now I'm off to pass out for a bit.
Thank you again!

Project Update: [Sisters of the Dawn] - 3 hours left! Dice addon now live!
We're almost there, fam!
Huge thanks to everyone for bringing life to this TTRPG! I'm super excited to get this into people's hands, and I just wanted to let folks know that since we hit our FOURTH STRETCH GOAL (WAHOOO!) the dice addon is live if anyone wants to add a set of dice on (and if you read this post-campaign, don't worry, you'll be able to add them on in your survey).
The dice set will come as part of your stretch goal add-ons if you've backed at the Battle-Ready tier or higher!
Sorry the addon image is janky..I'm still not sure which dice set folks will settle on.
Speaking of which, have you weighed in on the poll to determine which dice will be the official SotD colorway?
Alright! We've got just under three hours left! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Cheers,
Rick
