Surveys are out, please fill them out by the 1st of November!
Hey everyone,
Everything is going smoothly and the surveys were sent out yesterday already. Most of you have already filled them out - you're amazing, thank you again! For the remaining surveys please make certain you fill everything out by the 1st of November otherwise I can't promise your pin choice.
I want to start production as soon as I can once the funds are in, hence the short-ish deadline.
Then a final not so fun thing: there is a fair chunk of failed pledges (over 400 GBP to be exact). Thankfully this doesn't put any stretch goals at risk but please double check if your pledge has gone through.
If you have any questions please send a message to [email protected] or leave a comment here!
That's all for now again, see you in the next update!
The smoke tests were sent out yesterday (for those who don't know - these are 'test' surveys to a select amount of backers to see if everything is working as it should be). Many of you who received them already replied to them - you're amazing, thank you so much for this!
Everything looks good so far meaning I will likely be sending the surveys out for everyone else tomorrow or Thursday latest.
Sorry that this update didn't get posted yesterday - my PC woke up yesterday and choose violence - but we're here now.
So, let's get to business. I have finished the surveys already and I'm waiting for Backerkit to review and hopefully approve them. With a bit of luck the smoketests will go out by Wednesday latest meaning the rest of the surveys will go out before the end of the week.
I will update once they've gone out so hopefully nobody ends up missing anything thanks to overzealous spam filters.
That eh... is all for now! If you have any questions you can contact me at [email protected] or leave a comment here, of course.
As we're down to the last 5 days I wanted to make this update to clarify a couple of things.
1. There won't be an option to add pins to your pledge post campaign so if you want additional pins do it before the campaign ends. Stickers will be available as add-ons.
This isn't because I want to be difficult but because of the way Backerkit functions. We can't charge for post-campaign add-ons until we're ready to charge shipping. This means we'd end up paying out of pocket for all the add-on pins, some of which potentially wouldn't even get paid for, and that's a financial liability we're simply not willing to take on.
We will, however, run a backer store via our own site before we start shipping (so once all the product is in hand and graded) with the option to get them shipped with your campaign pledge for free. Here you'll be able to pick up seconds but I'm not making any promises on standard grades being available from there - pins are handmade items and sometimes runs are just iffy.
2. The stretch goals are pin stretch goals only, they are not going to be made into stickers. I forgot to specify this in the latest update so I wanted to make certain that everyone knew that the Yarn Hoarder and Potato Hoarder will be enamel pins only.

Hopefully that clarified everything but if not please do let me know!
Thanks again for joining this new campaign adventure, let's get ready for the last push and then get properly started on some new kobold shenanigans.
We did it, the final design of the campaign has been unlocked meaning the Potato Hoarder has officially joined us!
I won't be adding any additional designs to the campaign but holy heck, thanks again for helping us get here, I can't wait to get started on producing these goobers!
That's all for now, the next update probably won't be until we're about to wrap up the campaign.
In the meanwhile, don't hesitate to shoot me a message here or via [email protected] if you have any questions about this project.
