Save for a couple preorders being sent out in coming days, ALL ORDERS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED!! 🎉 Over 130 packages have been delivered to their homes already, with about 20-something currently in transit or out for delivery!
📬 International Orders
Please bear in mind depending on your location, it may take a few weeks for your order to arrive, and there may be certain fees or taxes you are responsible for on pickup. For certain countries, tracking information is only available to a certain point, but rest assured all international orders that haven't yet been delivered are currently on the way!
⚠️ Unfulfilled Orders & Declined Cards
If you haven't received tracking information for your order, please double-check to make sure that you've both filled out your post-campaign survey, and your card is able to be charged! There still are a few pledges at a standstill due to declined cards, and after a certain point, we can no longer guarantee your rewards, so please check that out ASAP if you suspect it hasn't gone though.
If you find yourself having trouble in any regard with your order, please don't hesitate to contact us via [email protected].
🐲 Leftovers, Gem Dragons, and What's to Come...
This has been an INCREDIBLE first experience crowdfunding, the success of the Chromatics has blown me out of the water, and the Gem Dragon Campaign has been off to a roaring start already; we've already smashed through most (but not all!) of our goals over there! Reminder that returning backers from THIS campaign get a SUPER COOL STICKER for FREE, if you wanna go show the gems some love too ;-]
In the coming month, we'll be closing up preorders on backerkit, and moving all the leftover and B-grade sales to the Toadstown Etsy! Feel free to give us a follow over there if you want to catch them when they go live.
As the campaign comes to a close, and we reach the destination of our travels, I would be remiss to offer one last wholehearted THANK YOU to EVERYBODY who supported, shared, backed, and hyped up this campaign!! Catch you guys in the next one!
Salutations, traveler! I'm happy to announce that order fulfillment has begun, ahead of time of the estimated shipping start at that! About a third of our orders have been shipped out this morning - you'll know if your order is on the way if you receive an email with tracking information.
The rest of the packages are expected to slowly be shipped out throughout the next couple of weeks. We'll have another update signaling when our last order has left the building, so hold tight, your dragons are excited to get to you as you are to receive them!
🐲 The Gem Dragons are Going Live!!
Wait... like, now? Yeah, NOW! The Gem Dragons enamel pin campaign has just launched, go show some support! If we could smash this campaign's goal within the day, I know you guys are capable of getting the Gem Dragon project off the ground with just as strong a start.
In fact, if you backed this campaign (which you probably have, if you're reading this), we're throwing in a free "SLAY THE DRAGON" sticker with your pledge! Qualified backers should automatically see the incentive in the "bonus rewards" section of their Pledge Summary as they check out. but if you didn't back this project, or just want some extra stickers, they're also available as an add-on for the entire Gem Dragons campaign!
Thank you all again for the incredible support - I wouldn't be able to even dream up a followup campaign without all of you guys showing the same kind of big nerdy TTRPG/dragon love I put into these pins.
PINS HAVE ARRIVED! Addresses Locking Soon & More Gem Dragons!
Well met, and thanks to everyone for the patience! Thankfully, it's well worth it - all the pins have arrived, and they look STUNNING!
As such, we will be locking shipping addresses in 48 hours to prepare for shipping early next month. Make sure your address is up to date!
🧙 Important Things to Note
Bahamut measures 1.5" (same as all the other dragons) as opposed to the planned 2", so he's a bit smaller than we originally planned him out to be! Initially he was sold at the 1.5" pin price as a "discount" while the campaign was ongoing, but because of his smaller size, his price will remain $9 going forward.
There were other several minor tweaks and clean-ups all around, but are all practically invisible, meant only to make the manufacturing process of the pins go smoother. These include minor proportion edits, adjusting wing placement, nudging heads up, etc.
Any potential B-grades will be pulled from the pool and sold at a discount at a later date. Read more about how we grade our pins here.
There is a tiny handful of 2 unsubmitted surveys and a 5 declined cards. If you don't recall receiving an email from us, or submitting any after received, we urge you to check the status of your order! We will be sending reminder emails out to those who have not submitted/paid for their pledges yet, as we will be unable to ship these orders until they have been completed.
💎 And Even More Gems!
Who woulda thought that the 2024 redesigns dropped right as we were prepping our next campaign? Thankfully, that's just more fuel to the designs we've been cooking up already (including the Amethyst and Topaz you see in the teaser - they've got some glowups as well)!
If you're not already following our Gem Dragon campaign, check it out HERE! You asked, and we heard you - our hope is to bring some love to some uncommon dragons in D&D, so stay tuned for updates. We go live next month!
We're gonna be spending these next couple of weeks grading and packing up all the pins in preparation for shipping. If you have any concerns about your order, as always please reach out at [email protected].
We'll have another post made before shipping just to keep everyone in the loop. For now, enjoy some pictures, and you'll hear from us soon!
Hark, adventurers! Just a quick reminder - surveys lock tomorrow night, August 11th, and cards will be charged!
When surveys lock, you will no longer be able to change your pin choices, so make any final edits you need to now! You'll still be able to update your shipping address in the meantime.
93% of folks have already filled theirs out (in fact, over half of the surveys were finished in the first couple of days), which is amazing!! We're already plotting out pin counts so we can get onto production as soon as possible.
🐉 Missed The Campaign? Check Out The Pre-order Store!
We're happy to announce the pre-order store is officially OPEN! If you or anybody you know missed the campaign and still want to grab a few pins, you'll be able to do so here:
And as always, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]should you have any questions or concerns about your pledge. We'll be in touch and get back as soon as possible, thank you so much!
Howdy folks! Give yourselves a pat on the back, because in just a month, 158 of you were officially able to raise $7,611 to bring this campaign to life. (And to our 193 new followers - hello! We hope you guys are as excited for the next campaign as we are, more on that later in this post!)
But we're not done just yet - now comes the fun part, picking out what dragons get to go home with you!
📜 The First Surveys Have Been Sent
A small sampling of backers have received their post-campaign survey! If there are any issues, inconsistencies, or hiccups you experience during your survey process - please don't be afraid to let us know! The rest of the surveys will be sent out tomorrow once we can confirm everything's good to go.
As a reminder, surveys will be up until August 11th, and i'll put a reminder out when there's a few days left to go. After then, orders will be locked and cards will be charged! Please make sure to fill out your survey as soon as possible! And if it isn't up already, there should also be a preorder store for folks who missed the campaign but still want to take home a pin or two.
Thank you all so, so much again!! If you have any questions or hit any bumps while filling out your survey, we're always happy to help out: feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for the quickest response and we'll get back ASAP!
💎Gems and Forgotten Dragons, Oh My!
Gem Dragon likers, rejoice! While we gather backer information and prep these pins for production, why not stay updated for our sequel campaign? Designs are subject to change (especially as the 2024 redesigns roll out, what luck!), but we've given our Amethyst dragon a Topaz buddy for the Gem Dragon campaign teaser.
This is it, adventurers! As you approach the volcanic den, your fated foe awaits- ahem. We have now entered THE FINAL DAY OF THE CAMPAIGN, and everything has been fully funded and unlocked!
🐉 So... What Happens Next?
Once the campaign concludes at 2:00pm CDT, expect your provided payment methods to be charged, and surveys to start rolling out so you can pick your pins!
We are on-track with the projected timeline, so backers will haveuntil August 11th (about two weeks) to fill out their survey. From there, we'll gather up the order information and pins will go into production! We expect to receive them around October for fulfillment, but we'll keep you all updated through the month as updates and samples come.
In the meantime, it seems pretty clear that there's some unfinished business... We're missing a whole five gem dragons in this bestiary - a sequel campaign seems obvious to us! Have an Amethyst teaser on the house, as we roll around what potential forgotten dragons or dungeon baddies we might wanna showcase down the line 🔮🐲
⚠️ ABOUT SURVEYS (Important, Please Read!) ⚠️
You may not receive your survey immediately - a few tests will be sent out first to make sure everything's good to go!
This may take up to a few days, but we'll keep you updated. You'll get an email when your survey is ready either way! Once you receive your survey, you'll be able to select your preferred pins, provide your shipping information, and pay for sales tax (depending on your location)! If you've changed your mind about your pledge level, or potentially want to add more to your order, you should be able to edit your pledge from the survey.
All 10 of the chromatic and metallic dragons, as well as bahamut, are available as choose-your-own-pins, so you're free to jot down any combination of dragons you can think of when requesting your rewards. The kobold mini-pin set remains its own unique item, so remember to include it as an add-on if you didn't pledge for its tier.
📜 Some Sap From the Artist
I truly mean it when I say this: there aren't enough words to describe how blown away I am by your guys' support. Being my first ever crowdfunding campaign, it's been extremely heartening to see your guys' feedback and participation! TTRPGs have been a huge part of my life for so long, so getting to combine and share my interests and share this with you folks has been incredible, not to mention the hype pouring in these last couple of days through the home stretch.
I'd be remiss to not shout-out my partner Atom [twitter] for helping me through this entire project. Be it watching me agonize over the smallest details of the art, offering a hand to polish up the vector artwork for manufacturing, they've been here to lend an ear every step of the way. I'm so incredibly lucky to have their support and guidance from the very beginning of this campaign.
To my party members, of whom I've been playing alongside in two separate 5e campaigns weekly for the last three years: I know you're reading this, and you know you're all responsible for this whole mess. I'll see you all in the Nine Hells.
And of course, to all of the amazing backers that helped fund this campaign, from the bottom of my heart - thank you SO much!! This whole thing wouldn't be possible without your guys' support.
Anyways, that's all! We'll catch you VERY soon with surveys, take care out there on your travels! You never know what foes may be lurking in the shadows...
