Whether you need a quick PC, henchman, rival, or employer, this deck is an invaluable resource for players and Wardens alike!

Q1-2 2025: PDFs of the cards and adventure are sent to backers.
Q1-2 2025: Final files are proofed and sent to printers.
Q2 2025: Cards decks and adventure are printed and shipped to warehouse.
Q2 – 3 2025: Fufillment of physical rewards begins.

Digital fulfillment will be handled by BackerKit. 

Physical fulfillment will be handled by Space Penguin Ink, LLC, shipping all orders from the USA. Shipping fees will be charged after the campaign closes via BackerKit.

All efforts will be made to keep EU / UK / ROW shipping costs as low as possible, but we can't guarantee there will be no import fees. Import fees are the responsibility of the backer. We will offer tracked shipping for as many regions as possible.

Estimated shipping costs for single-deck orders as of right now (October 2024) are as follows. We are using weight-based shipping, and you will be charged shipping via BackerKit for the total weight of your pledge and any add-ons. 

United States: $10 – 15
Canada: $19 – 26
United Kingdom: $19 – 26
EU: $19 – 26
US Territories and ROW: $27 – 38

Unfortunately we cannot ship to the following countries at the current time:

Afghanistan, Belarus, Brunei Darussalam, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Niue, Russian Federation, Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen.
