The time has finally come: Aetas Draconis is heading your way!
Everyone should now have received their tracking information. I printed all of the shipping labels tonight and will start getting packages to the post office tomorrow, with the rest going out between then and Monday.
Please keep in mind that your tracking may not show movement right away. Labels have been created, but packages will begin receiving scans as they are dropped off and make their way into the postal system.
It’s incredibly exciting to finally be at this stage after seeing Aetas Draconis go from artwork, to production, to finished decks, and now into your hands. Thank you so much for your patience throughout production and for supporting this project from the beginning. I can’t wait for everyone to receive their rewards!
And while Aetas Draconis is making its way to you, there’s plenty more happening!
A creepy-cute collection of charming curiosities, spooky little companions, and whimsical treasures inspired by the beauty found in the strange. Expect skulls, reapers, plague doctors, patchwork hearts, and plenty of pastel-goth goodness.
The Midnight Market will also be returning! I’ll have a mix of designs and goodies available for the holiday season, with more details coming soon.
And looking a little further ahead, the Guardians will return for Pintopia 2027! Guardians of the Cosmos: Prismatic Fables will continue the Fables collection with a new mosaic-inspired take on the lovely guardians.
Here’s a production update on Aetas Draconis: the art prints and sticker sheets are officially finished, which means those pieces are ready and waiting for the decks to join them. And speaking of the decks, we have another big milestone: the cards have shipped! They’re currently on their way to us, with an estimated arrival in mid to late September.
Our original campaign timeline had fulfillment beginning in August, but with the decks now expected in September, we’re adjusting that timeline. Once the cards arrive, we’ll need some time to inspect everything, organize all of the campaign items, and prepare your rewards for shipping. We’re currently expecting fulfillment to take place sometime in October.
In preparation for fulfillment, we’ll also be charging cards and locking addresses in September. We’ll send out a reminder before that happens so you have a chance to double-check your payment information and make any necessary updates to your shipping address.
We know that’s a little later than originally planned, and we really appreciate your patience as everything makes its way to us. The good news is that production is wrapping up, the decks are officially in transit, and we’re getting very close to having all the pieces of Aetas Draconis together!
We’ll share another update once the decks arrive and we can begin getting everything ready for fulfillment. Thank you so much for your continued support and for helping bring Aetas Draconis to life!
I wanted to share a quick production update as more pieces of Aetas Draconis continue to arrive. Several of the rewards have now been delivered, including:
Velvet Bag & Die Cut Stickers
Enamel Pins
It's always exciting to finally see these items in person after spending so much time designing and preparing them, and everything is looking great so far!
We're still waiting on a few key components before we can begin fulfillment:
Playing cards
Art prints
Sticker sheets
Once those arrive, I'll be able to assemble rewards, perform final quality checks, and start getting everything packed up and shipped to you.
Thank you all for your continued patience and support throughout this process. Until then, thank you for helping make this project possible!
I wanted to share a quick update on the Standard Edition decks.
As part of the final production review, I revisited the physical samples and compared how both editions handled during gameplay. One thing I noticed was that the Deluxe Edition decks shuffled more smoothly than the Standard Edition decks.
After discussing this with the manufacturer, we determined that the difference comes from the finish used on the cards. The Standard Edition decks were originally set up with gloss lamination, while the Deluxe Edition decks use gloss varnish.
To improve the feel and playability of the Standard Edition decks, I've decided to switch them to gloss varnish as well. This should provide a smoother shuffle experience while maintaining the look and quality of the artwork.
Production is now moving forward, and I've also requested a final quality-control sample before the full order leaves the factory so I can give everything one last inspection.
Thank you all for your support. It's exciting to finally see Aetas Draconis move into production!
