It's been 2 weeks since the project closed, and that means the funds have come in to the Publishing Goblin bank account, and surveys are ready to head out to your inboxes. I have sent the Smoke Test already, which is a small set of 5% of surveys so we can see if I screwed anything up in the surveys that I need to fix before we release the rest.
So if you got an email in the last thirty minutes with a survey, please fill it out right away. You're my guinea pig! :)
Then tomorrow afternoon, so long as no one had issues, I will send out the rest of the surveys for you all to fill out.

After a little back and forth, I now have the final print files with the manufacturer. They actually just sent me eproofs but they sent the wrong file for a couple so it was just the empty templates haha. They'll get me the proofs with the actual art in them today or tomorrow when they see my email back. Then I'll tell them the number of things to make and we'll get moving on manufacturing already. I'm so excited to get this thing moving to manufacturing already, it's definitely the speediest turnaround from funding ending to placing my orders for decks ever.
We unlocked two stretch goals: A bonus $1000 payment to Sam Dow, and a 3-piece Art Print Set to go with our hardcover guidebooks. But originally, I had Sam ready 9 pieces for art prints. I thought we would clear those stretch goals with ease up through 100k, but that was not the case. So in the spirit of loving Sam's work, I have gone ahead and made the free art prints that come in the guidebooks a 6-piece set!
And yes, it is these six above. The Tower, The Sun, The 3 of Coins, The 9 of Cups, The 6 of Wands, and the King of Swords. I have chosen to leave the 9 of Coins, 6 of Cups, and Queen of Swords prints for another day. Maybe when we reprint sometime.
If you didn't get a hardcover guidebook, recall that they are available on their own as add-ons! And yes, that means every Full Set that includes the hardcover guidebook will also have these prints automatically, hidden in the pages of the book itself.
Alright friends, will update again soon when I have the order in for the manufacturing to give you the expected timeline!

And a reminder that not only do I have two books in the currently live Book Bazaar group project launch (Blue Bird, Black Bird is a gay--and spicy--superhero romance novel, and Nekyomanteia is a poetry collection remaster with 3 other returning volumes), but I also have a Ready-to-Ship Holiday Market project ready to go live in 11 days! The Goblin's Garage Sale is basically a flash sale on Backerkit. As soon as the funding ends, you'll be charged shipping and packages will go into the mail in time to reach you before the holidays--US only this first time as I give it a try.
