Project Update: Top up your coffee, ink in Spanish, and…tea???
Happy spooky month to you all! Our Booristas have been busy and just finished stocking the Snowbright store with a limited supply of our ink coffee blends. So, if you have run out… or didn't get to try them yet, be sure to swing by the website during the month of October to grab a bag before they are gone! Both the light and dark roast are available in limited quantities until they sell out.
We are also excited to announce that ink will be published in Spanish! We expect that both digital and print versions of ink en español will be available online and in retail shops in 2024. More details coming in the new year!
And before we go, the Booristas also wanted us to remind everyone that the new edition and expansion of our cozy mystery RPG, Teatime Adventures: Tea Pets, is currently live on BackerKit! Not only are there backing tiers with loose-leaf tea, but there are also adorable critters that the community has been voting into the game! Turns out that Booristas love a good community poll!
You can join them in voting on the next Tea Pet by visiting the campaign page today.

Project Update: ink, tea pets, and fulfillment update!
Hello everyone!
Something new is brewing….. It’s Teatime Adventures: Tea Pets! Sign up for our next crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit to get a free sample of our new tea, Rains of Starsong, when you pledge.
Our newest RPG is set in the same world as our cozy mystery RPG, Teatime Adventures, and will bring you brand new, cute critter-filled game content along with new editions of Teatime Adventures, The Tales of Oakenbend, and more!
Ink fulfillment is largely done, and almost all backers have received their inky rewards!
We do have a very small handful of backers that have either not filled out their survey or have had their payments fail during checkout. If you haven't received your rewards yet, please check your BackerKit account to see if everything is filled out and payment is complete. If you need help with any of these steps or tracking an order, please reach out to us at [email protected].
We will hold copies for our backers through the month of July, so please try to wrap up your survey before July 31 to guarantee receipt of your rewards!
Want more ink content? An all new mini-expansion that adds a new fishing minigame to the rules is set to release to Cozy Companion subscribers along with the first published adventure for ink (“The Ravenous Cliffs”) premiering in this month’s Cozy Companion issue!
Did you run out of coffee already?! We’ll have more bags of The Ink and The Beacon on hand at Gen Con at the end of the month. Come visit us at booth #1453 to pick up a refill!
Stay Spooky!

Project Update: Fulfilment is wrapping up!
The ink coffee arrived from Many Worlds Tavern coffee at Snowbright! Take a look at it all nestled in comfortably in its shipping container. Let the caffeination begin!
If you didn’t order coffee, here’s a sneak peek at The Ink blend!
The arrival of the coffee meant that we were able to pack and ship most of the Deluxe Boorista Boxes before we headed off for the GAMA Expo convention last month. Getting the majority of the Boorista Boxes shipped out wraps up the bulk of ink fulfillment! We are now working on getting late survey responses fulfilled. So if you filled out your survey after April 1, your package may still be getting packed!
If you have not received your rewards yet please check to make sure that you filled out your BackerKit Survey. I know we have a few spirits that haven’t filled theirs out yet!
Stay Spooky!

Project Update: ink Fulfillment Begins!
Fulfillment is Underway!
Woooooo! All the Booristas are back from PAX East! It was a great trip, but we are excited to be back in the studio so that we can begin ink fulfillment!
The short version: Emails with your digital rewards will be coming soon! Packages with physical products will begin arriving in the next few weeks.
So what should you expect during shipping?
All orders have to have their BackerKit surveys filled out and shipping and taxes paid in order for our hard working spirits to get your shipment set up. If you haven’t filled out your backer survey, or if there was an issue charging your card, these issues will need to be resolved before your order can ship. If you need help with your order please check out the Backerkit Help Center before reaching out to us at [email protected]. The sweet ghosties will start shipping orders today.
PDFs and Digital Orders
The first item that you will receive will be your ink PDF! PDFs will be sent to the email that you provided in your Backerkit survey and will include a link to DriveThruRPG where you can access your PDF. If you don’t receive your email, please check your spam folder before reaching out to us. Some emails are scared of spirits and think that the spam folder is a great place to hide.
Print Orders
The Booristas will be packing up your physical rewards and sending them out to you via our warehouse partner. They will do everything they can to make sure that shipping goes smoothly, but even with the most skilled spirits at work things sometimes still go sideways. If your shipment runs into a problem, please email us as soon as you can. To make this process faster, please include the name that you used on Backerkit, your order information, and a description of the issue. If an item was damaged, please send photos of the damaged product as well as the package that it was shipped in.
You can reach out to us at [email protected] if you have questions or concerns about your shipment.
Stay Spooky!

Project Update: Backer Survey Update!
Hello spooky spirits! We’re hard at work prepping ink for 2023 and wanted to share a few updates with you all. We are cruising toward an April fulfillment start - just as promised on the campaign page’s timeline! Don’t forget to hop on over to our new board game, Harvest Hoppers, as well which is live on Kickstarter.
The Backer Survey
The Backer Survey is starting to roll out! Be sure to fill out your information as soon as you can so that we can get your items shipped to you on time. Also… we will be sending out PDF copies of the game to backers in batches following the completion of their surveys!
Manufacturing
The Books have been printed and have arrived at our fulfillment partners. They look spooktacular and are ready to ship once the backer survey is closed! ALMOST all the bits and bobs that are being tucked inside the hefty Deluxe Boorista Box have arrived at the studio as well. We can't wait to have a box stuffing party to get everyone’s items inside. We’ve enlisted the help of a few other specters to help. Many Worlds Tavern is at work on the coffee as well, and we can’t wait to have all that inky coffee wafting through the studio soon.
Take a look at the new hardcover book, token punchouts, box set and prelaunch exclusive Boorista stickers, and ink map below!
New ink Fiction
Curious to learn more about the world and inhabitants of ink? We’ll be publishing our first short story set in the ink-iverse next month as part of Cozy Companion, Snowbright’s new cozy games and fiction magazine. More info on Cozy Companion is available on our website and in the pledge manager! We have a few other inky surprises lined up between now and next October’s return to “Snowfright”.
Stay spooky,
Snowbright

Project Update: An inky update
Hello spooks and spirits! We’re hard at work prepping ink for 2023 and wanted to share a few updates with you all.
The Pledge Manager
Pledge manager emails will go out in early 2023, so if you were worried that you missed it, rest assured that you have not!
The Book
The game book is currently wrapping up final layout. We are really excited about how it's shaping up, and it will be floating over to the book printer soon!
The Box
All the bits and bobs that are going to be tucked inside the Deluxe Boorista Box are also in their final designs and are going over to the box printer right after the book files are sent.
The Map
In other exciting news… design has wrapped up on the ink map! Catch a preview of part of it below. The Ink is a shifting, shadowy, liminal space so our goal was to communicate both the scope and wonder of the Ink while showcasing how the islands in the Ink, known as Keys, may shift around as your spirited players explore. There are also a few sneaky peeks at what lays above and beyond the Ink, so keep your eyes (however many you might have) open to spot some of them.
Live Play
Girls Run These Worlds will be running a live play of ink on December 19th as part of their Winter One Shot series! You can catch the broadcast at 8pm ET on their Twitch channel.
Stay spooky,
Snowbright

Project Update: That’s a wrap!
First off, thanks for sailing on this exciting adventure with us. We couldn't have done it without your support!
So what's next?
It will take about two weeks for payments to clear BackerKit. During that time, we will be working on setting up the Pledge Manager and will be sharing that with you shortly after. We are close to wrapping up work on ink and will be sending it to the printer later this month. Backers will likely see their PDF copies make their way to them sometime this December. We expect printing to wrap up in March and for books to begin their journey to distribution centers in April. This means fulfillment of the Deluxe Boorista Box set and physical copies of the game should begin in May!
You will be getting regular updates from us on the development progress, sneak peeks at the game, and of course, if we run into any hiccups, we will pass that info on in our updates.
Thanks again and…..before I go, here's a sneak peek at one of the never before seen Fiends of ink!
Stay Spooky

Project Update: Stretch Goals are being added to ink!
Our first stretch goal is a hardcover upgrade for all physical copies of ink! It’s not too far away… When we hit $15,000, all Book and Deluxe Boorista Box backers will automatically have their books upgraded from softcover to hardcover!
What comes after that? If we can reach $25,000, a new online character generator will be made available to all backers. You'll be able to get started with ink even faster with this new online tool. Create new spirits with just a few button clicks!
How do we unlock these Stretch Goals?
The more people who back the game, the closer we get to unlocking these goals (and more). You can help out by sharing ink on social media and by letting your friends know how excited you are to explore the spirit world!
Thank you for your support,
Snowbright

Project Update: ink is fully funded!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who backed ink in the first few days! We couldn’t have done it without the help of all our wonderful backers. It has been great to see new and returning fans of Snowbright show up to support the spirited world of ink.
What to expect from here?
The campaign runs until November 1, so let's see how far ink can go! Your shares on social media go a long way toward helping new people see the campaign and we appreciate each and every one!
And…If funding continues to go well we may even add a stretch goal or two. More on that next week!
Sneak Peek
Psssst let me introduce you to Seven. Seven is a psychopomp that calls the Ink it’s home. As you read through the game keep your eyes peeled for Seven’s tips and tricks on how to survive in the Ink. Heck a GM may even want to add this quixotic skeletal creature into the game to help introduce their players to the world or to help nudge a party along when they get stuck.
Thanks again!
Snowbright
