Project Update: We Did It! What Happens Next?
Wow Folks!
In our last hour, you got us across the finish line and unlocked the final set of dice - a stunning porcelain style set of Mage d10s that we just KNOW you're going to love. Thank you so so much, from the bottom of the hearts of a crew of Kobold and a bunch of Dorks, thank you <3
We took a couple of days to recover (just kidding, we've been finalizing designs, prepping to travel to UK Games Expo *come see the Bookwyrm Crew if you're there next week!!*, and generally running around like crazy) but we're back to it now, and we wanted to give you some expectations for timeline and how things will work from here!

Missed the Campaign?
Hey, that's ok! Chester once slept through his alarm and none of us were brave enough to wake him up (not after last time, anyway. We miss Jerry. He's not dead, we don't think, we just don't know how to get him out of that astral prison...) so he slept through spring.
If you missed the Dorky campaign and still want to get your hands on these brand new artifacts of power (did we mention we unlocked EVERY stretch goal?) we'll be opening our Late Backer store in June! Keep your eyes on our updates, we'll announce when that goes live :D

Timelines
Now that the campaign has ended with a rousing success (THANK YOU AGAIN!) we're into the creation phase. Our Head Artificer is working with the Dorks to finalize designs and begin the forging process for all the artifacts that you'll be receiving. After that's done, they'll be blessed by our resident cleric (to which god? We'll never tell!) so make sure they roll those sweet natural 20s, five percent of the time, every time.
Survey
While some of the Kobold are working on that, others will be painstakingly crafting your Pledge Manager surveys. A much more difficult proposition with their little Kobold claws, but they'll manage somehow. One the Pledge Manager is up and running, we'll send out a "smoke test", wherein five percent of the backers from each pledge level will receive their survey. This helps us identify which of our Kobold are making errors, and apply corrective action.
After we've confirmed the survey is working correctly, we'll release it completely and everyone will be able to select their rewards as well as adding on anything you missed out on during the campaign but have only just realized you can't live without! The surveys will stay open for a few weeks so everyone can complete them, at which point we'll lock them down so we've got some final numbers.
Fulfilment
We expect creation of the artifacts to take a few months. Well keep you in the loop as we progress so you've always got a picture of where we are in the process. Right now we're targetting September - December 2026 as our fulfilment window!
Shipping
This is always the fun one xD We do a lot of shipping so we've gotten pretty good at it, but borders, customs, and tariffs make things...dynamic...to say the least. That said, our shipping runway looks pretty clear at the moment. We'll be charging for shipping a little closer to the fulfilment date, so we can make sure to have the most up-to-date numbers and costs.

That's About It Folks
That's the news for this update! Keep your eyes on your inboxes for future updates which may include photos of your artifacts as they're completed... oooh...aaaaah....
Genuinely, thank you so much to all of you who supported this project. It's incredibly easy to say "we love you", every creator seems to do it so it just becomes white noise but TRULY, we see ALL of you and we appreciate you more than we can say. From the Kobold and the Dorks, thank you.
