Information concerning the $5 pre-campaign reservation pin
Your Opinion Matters
As mentioned during the launch night livestream, we see and hear the spirited discussion within the fandom surrounding The Fires of December cover. The promised poll for the community is still coming, we just are not quite ready to publish it yet. Our wonderful creative team wants to ensure they can provide the best examples of the final product for each prospective cover. This poll will only be available for backers of the campaign so make sure to make your voice heard.
As soon as we have more complete renders, look for the poll under the community tab!

If you haven’t already taken part in this, we’d love to see your creativity on full display! It has been amazing to see not just the community's reception but the wonderful submissions already submitted. Remember that voting for the next paragraph in the collaborative narrative closes at 10:00AM MDT each day. It’s your job to review the submissions and help shape this story created by the community, for the community!
Answers to Your Pre-campaign Reservation Questions
We can’t believe how many of you have already started your own herd of ChasmFriends. However, the logistics of getting a friend or two shipped from the Crackity Plains to your home is no small undertaking. (Have you ever tried to wake Darren from a nap?) We wanted to clarify a few common questions we’ve seen surrounding the $5 reservation for those who selected this before the campaign launched:
If you have any physical tier rewards or add-ons, the $5 reservation pin will be shipped with your physical tier rewards or add-ons, so there is no additional shipping cost. The $5 reservation pin will automatically be added to the list of rewards that will ship to you; there is no need for further action.
If you paid for the $5 reservation pin and we do not ship to your country you will be eligible for a refund after pledge surveys are sent out. Please submit a support ticket after surveys are sent out so we can assist.
If you paid for the $5 reservation pin and only backed digital items, you will be given an option with your pledge survey to either pay for shipping if you want to get the pin, or to get a refund of $5 if the shipping for the pin is more than you want to pay.
These changes are to ensure that fans have a choice in the case you’ve opted for digital-only rewards. Thank you for all of your support with this campaign!
ChasmFriend pin reservations will be sent with your pledge rewards once you’ve backed the campaign (and completed the backer survey after that is sent out).
Introducing…Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium!
Hello backers, we did it!
Brandon will be hosting a livestream to celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection today (March 3, 2026) at 6:00PM MST (1:00AM UTC). We’re sure you can see the joyspren surrounding us as we share the news that our campaign is officially funded! Once again, we’re able to bring the magic of Brandon’s worlds to life because of YOU. As if getting four enchantingly illustrated storybooks wasn’t enough, Brandon’s newest secret project The Fires of December is an adventure we know you’ll love as much as we did. Remember that the gold foiling on each of the picture books and the printed edges for The Fires of December will only be available for purchase during the lifetime of this BackerKit project. You’ll want to act now to guarantee their spot on your Sandershelf!
Now is the perfect time to collect your ChasmFriend Blind Bag pins to be able to trade with other Worldhoppers and complete your herd. The price of these collectible cuties is only $10 during the project launch, but will increase after the campaign closes.
If you reserved a ChasmFriend pin pre-campaign, as long as you have backed the campaign and completed your backer survey once it is sent out, the pin will automatically be sent with your pledge rewards.
A story doesn’t live until it is imagined
To celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection, we want to invite our backers to join in weaving a non-canonical Hoidian tale. Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium is our new Stormlight-infused collaborative storytelling experience! Join the beloved Worldsinger’s ranks as you and other backers come together to tell a story of your own in the Collaborative Narrative. A writing prompt has been given on the Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium tab of this project. Every day until the close of this campaign, you will have a chance to add to the narrative. It’s up to you Worldsingers to determine whose response is the best, as the entry with the most likes will be added to this storybook of your own creation! We will accept one submission per day, based on votes. If the content of a submission does not comply with our terms and conditions, it will be rejected.
The symposium will also include a Worldsinger Gallery! Send your fan art inspired by the Collaborative Narrative you’re creating via the submission link found within the Symposium. As long as your art adheres to our terms and conditions, we will feature it in our Worldsinger Gallery. Artists are allowed up to two art submissions during the campaign. Select art submissions, as well as the completed narrative, will be included in a free digital release entitled Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology.
We’re so happy you’re here and we’re elated to share Hoid’s tales with you. Until our next update later this month, Worldsingers!
