Project Update: Meet the Tiger Lily and Fluff Bear

Hello everyone! Popping in for a quick Teatime Adventures: Tea Pets update! We have some exciting news to share with you...two new Tea Pets are ready to make their way into the game! Meet the Tiger Lily and Fluff Bear!

The elusive Tiger Lily should not be hard to spot, given its bright orange and black coloring, yet somehow they seem to avoid detection in most backyards. Like Dandy Lions, they prefer to live solitary lives and have even been known to chase the more extroverted and comparably sized Dandy Lions out of their territory completely.

The humble Fluff Bear has a striking resemblance to the lily known as bear grass. Coincidentally, this is where it can most often be found. Fluff Bears measure only a few inches wide and enjoy spending their days climbing up stalks, nosing through pollen, and slumbering away in the sun.

You can find more information about both of these Tea Pets in our current issue of Cozy Companion: New Beginnings!

We continue to work on getting Tea Pets ready for backers and should have a larger production update for you soon. 

Stay Cozy!

Project Update: Backer Surveys are headed your way!

Hello everyone, we hope you are staying cozy in what has so far been a very chilly winter! We have the fireplace going and are warming our hands on hot cups of tea. We also have some exciting news to share… A first round of surveys are headed your way!

Initial Backer Surveys will come via Backerkit to the email you used to back the campaign. If you don't see your survey, be sure to check your spam folder before reaching out to us at [email protected] as some emails are shy and like to hide. 

Once you get your survey you will be able to check out add-ons and add your shipping information. Shipping fees will be charged at a later date closer to fulfillment in a second round of surveys. If you live in the Cleveland area, we are providing a local pickup option, please select local pickup on the dropdown Country menu at the start of your survey. Local  Pickup will be available at Superscript Comics & Games in Lakewood, Ohio at the time of fulfillment. Please note that we will not be fulfilling orders at conventions.

If you subscribed to Cozy Companion through the Tea Pets campaign, we will get you codes to redeem your subscriptions after you fill out your survey!

Completed surveys will be locked and cards charged starting on Feb 12. This allows us to get Cozy Companion backer's subscriptions set up as soon as possible. If you need your survey unlocked before fulfillment, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance

Work on the game is going well! We have been very busy having deep conversations about the Astra alignment of each Tea Pet. The Core Rulebook is in final layout and the Tea Pets book is going through a round of testing! I can’t wait to build my sanctuary.

My tea is quickly cooling, so I better drink it up! I’ll be popping by again soon with more updates. You can also join us on our Discord to chat with the team and other Snowbright fans.

Want more Snowbright RPGs? Be sure to check out Time Tails, our new totally rad 80s time-traveling game launching on Kickstarter next month. 

Stay cozy,

Snowbright

Project Update: Backer Survey, Dice and more!

Hello everyone! We wanted to pop in and give all of you an update on a few things before we all head out for our holiday break. So here we go!

Backer surveys are drafted and will be going out to everyone in January. We will not be charging shipping at this time, but you will be able to confirm your order or select and pay for your add-ons. We will run a separate charge closer to fulfillment for shipping fees. If you added Cozy Companion to your order, completing your survey will mean that we can get your subscription set up. All Tea Pets backers who subscribed to Cozy Companion will get the Holiday Magic (December) volume as your first issue! You will also be getting the December Holiday Spells subscriber perk. 
Harmony Dice Set Prototype
WE HAVE THE DICE! The prototype of the Harmony Dice set has arrived from the manufacturer, and we wanted to share a pic! 

Next steps…we are hard at work getting the four Teatime Adventures books ready for manufacturing, the new maps are well underway, the plush is getting some small adjustments, and we are planning to be on time for fulfillment! When we come back from break, it will be all hands on deck as we get all items ready to move to manufacturing.

The team is getting ready to go on our holiday break, so if you need to get in touch with us, please keep in mind that we will be out of the office until January 2.

We hope everyone has a great winter holiday season! 

Stay Cozy,

Snowbright

Project Update: Rose Possum plush and Discord news!

Hello everyone and happy spooky month to you all!

Popping in for a quick update, because we have a few cool things to share with you. First off… we got in the prototype of the Rose Possum plushie! It is soft, cuddly, and a huge hit with the Snowbright kids. We have gathered some feedback and the next version is underway! I’ve included the diagram we used when designing the prototype. We are pretty impressed with how close the first edition looks! If you want to see it in person, stop by our booth #3530 at PAX Unplugged next month!

And in even more exciting news… the fan Discord that you voted for is up and ready for you all to join! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions on what you wanted to see in our server. We can’t wait to continue the conversation over there!

Stay Cozy!

Project Update: That’s a Wrap!

Woooooooo! We did it! 
Teatime Adventures: Tea Pets is a wrap! That’s 14 stretch goals unlocked and over 1600% funded as we now begin bringing these tea pets to life!

We just wanted to take a second to say thank you. Not only have you all made this campaign a success, but you have also made it a joy to run. From your comments and social posts to poll participation, we have had a great time with you all in this cozy adventure.

So what's next?

Well, we are wrangling all the tea pets into their habitats for a wee break and brewing up some celebratory tea before we get to work on… that fan Discord server you voted for! Expect an update with a link to join in the near future, as well as more information on when to expect your backer survey. These will open early to allow Cozy Companion backers to get their subscriptions started this year! After that update, we will give your inbox a bit of a break, popping in every month or two to give you updates on progress, share pics, or let you know about a new poll that’s up. We’re also always available at [email protected]

We hope you all have a nice hot cup of tea with us this morning, and once again, thank you so much for all your support!

Stay cozy

Project Update: Final Hours to Back! + New Poll

Wow, after 12 stretch goals and a whole lot of fan votes, we are officially on the last day of the Teatime Adventures: Tea Pets campaign! If you’ve been waiting to back Tea Pets … this is your last chance!

We have had so much fun hearing from you all that we’d like to continue to chat with you even after the campaign is over. 

So we have a new poll up:
Should we start a Snowbright Fan Discord? 

Let us know in the comments what would be most helpful for you to see in a Discord. Are things like community, rules questions, opportunities to give feedback on Snowbright games, etc. interesting to you? And what other platforms do you use that we should be on?

It’s also our last day to try and hit that $75,00 stretch goal! Which means every share of the campaign page could help us inch our way to a Pocket Otter, Panda, or Chef Bear getting added to the game! And remember, if you @SnowbrightStudio on the post, we can count it towards the Social Butterfly Achievement!

One last peek: 
Here’s a page from the October volume of our Cozy Companion magazine (releasing later this month). You’ll see that your Accordion Cat is already tucked away in there! He’s part of a section with fun activities that can be used in the game - or in real life at your table! - to celebrate the Verdant Isles holiday of Evenfall. Like a good old game of The Mayor’s Accordion Cat!

Ok back to final day shenanigans! 

Stay Cozy Everyone!
Snowbright

P.S. For backers only, we have a quick reveal of the October Cozy Companion cover!

I appreciate all the info in the Harmony Dice question discussion, but I am wondering about the set of tea-infused dice and the oversized tea infused D20 dice. Is there a use for those in the actual Teatime Adventures gameplay as well? If so, how are they used/could they be used? I've never played before and I'm trying to decide if I would need or want multiple sets for players or playing the game - or if these are just more like an aesthetic extra? Thank you!

Project Update: Tea Pets: Only 60 hours left + new stretch goal vote!

Happy weekend, explorers!
We're now in the last 60 hours of the campaign!

We just unlocked our next stretch goal, so welcome to the Verdant Isles, Pumpkin Tortoise! Should we have been surprised that the hare got out to a quick lead, but was then surpassed by slow but steady voting for the tortoise??

Read more about our two most recently unlocked tea pets here:

Miniature Tiger
This domesticated cat descended from a fierce lineage of Amberhaven tigers which typically grow to six to seven feet in length. These miniature tigers, however, grow only to 12 to 24 inches. They come in a variety of colored stripes, having lost their evolutionary need for camouflage long ago. Despite their often quite comfy lives poking around farms and in the alleys behind restaurants, they still retain many of the hunting tendencies of their ancestors. They enjoy pouncing on dust bunnies whenever they spot them, and flower dragons know very well to keep their distance. Tea pet caretakers also know not to delay a Miniature Tiger's dinner by too long unless they would like to feel miniature claws coming into contact with their ankles.

Pumpkin Tortoise
Much beloved during Evenfall and other autumn holidays, the Pumpkin Tortoise is best known for its Astra-infused illuminations. These gentle creatures tend to grow to about two feet in length, and their knobby shells provide a subtle, flickering glow at night. Depending on the age and size of the tortoise, this effect most resembles the carved turnips, gourds, or pumpkins that many children and adults throughout the Isle carve each Evenfall. It is said in northern Alpengreen that spotting a Pumpkin Tortoise on Evenfall can actually indicate a mild winter between Evenfall and the Feast of Flourish in March.

What's next? We have a brand new vote for TWO tea pet pals! If we hit $75,000 before the end of the campaign, we'll add not one but two tea pets who just so happen to hang out in the same biome together.

For your consideration:
Pocket Otters & Sun Clams
These otters are known for storing all manner of items in their pockets, especially shiny trinkets like watches and keys. And wherever you find Pocket Otters, you're also likely to find Sun Clams too. These little ocean dwellers change color based on the time of day.

Blue Pandas & Green Pandas
No doubt the Red Panda deserves all of the love that it gets, but have you heard of its cousins the Blue Panda and Green Panda? They're just as feisty as their more popular relative!

Chef Bear & Bumble Sloth
High up in the Umberleap mountains, you just might happen to smell the aroma of a bear hard at work roasting honeyed vegetables on hot rocks. That's the Chef Bear of course, nature's greatest natural culinary expert, and there's a good chance that they got that honey from a friendly Bumble Sloth and the bees that it carries around on its back.

We're super curious to see where your votes take us next! Don't forget that you can also help unlock the Social Butterfly tea pet by sharing out the campaign page on social media and tagging us in your posts.

As always, thank you for all of your support as we come into these final two days of the campaign. For projects like this from indie publishers like us, we just couldn't make it happen without your support. 

Stay cozy,
Snowbright

Forgive me if I overlooked it, but will the corebook contain rules for solo roleplaying?
