March Update: Production Updates and Custom Art Cards
11 months ago

Spring is here, and so is our March update!
Production Update
A print run was completed of the cards, but manufacturing discovered a problem that causes the cards to get damaged easily and they are not up to the quality we are looking for for this project. The factory is starting another print run as we speak and we are applying a protective coating to keep this from happening again.
Unfortunately, this does mean a slight delay but we don't want to deliver you an inferior product, so this will be worth the wait!
Original Art Cards from Yoshi Yoshitani
Yoshi has sent us the original art pieces for the Original Art Card Sketch Bundle tier and they are gorgeous. Over the next few updates we will be featuring specific cards, sharing their names and special effects when used in a Deck of Many Things. Stay tuned!
Unusual and elusive creatures inspired by real-world plants & flowers.
Welcome to The Field Guide to Floral Dragons, your guide to dragons imbued with the essence of flowers.
With their abundant blooms and specialized physiology, floral dragons can be beautiful. However, any wise forager or florist knows that some plants can be as deadly as they are gorgeous…

Time for the February update - we hope you love what you see!
Proofing Update
Proofing progress is still underway, and as Chinese New Year celebrations come to an end at the end of February, we will be able to start getting more proofs finalized. We do have a couple things to show off though - Reading Mats and the Large Liquid Core D20!
Reading Mats!
The manufacturers of the reading mats sent us pictures of the final mats and the art is looking crisp!
Flames
Fool
Balance
Death
Card Back
Vizier
Rogue
Skull
Oversized Liquid Core D20
We are very happy with how this is coming along, the colours and sparkle are pretty darn close to how we imagined them!

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope that 2024 is filled with magic for all of you so far.
Proofing Progress for Physical Rewards
Files for the Fablemaker's Deck of Many Things physical rewards are with our manufacturers and we are currently waiting on physical proofs to review. Once we have them, we'll make an update showing off the progress and talking about any changes or tweaks we may want! From there we will have a better idea of the printing schedule and fulfilment timelines.
One note: our manufacturers are affected by Chinese New Year celebrations, which take place next month. Depending on timing, that can cause some delays when it comes to getting physical proofs to look at, but we will keep you all posted if any major delays occur.
PDF and Digital Reward Progress
The digital rewards are under way!
Living Fables NPC & Magic Item PDF: First draft complete! We are in the process of reviewing this document internally and after any revisions that are necessary we will be getting into the hands of our talented graphic design team to get it ready to share with you.
Dungeon Card Challenges and The Thief of Fate Adventure PDFs: First draft has begun! Our in-house writers are starting to chip away at these stretch goals, getting ideas together for a fun adventure and challenging dungeon encounters. More to come on this!

Hello there Fablemaker Fans! Winter is here, which means the year is coming to a close and soon 2023 will nothing but a hazy memory. Next year is shaping up to be a good one though, as we continue the production process for the Fablemaker's Deck of Many Things, and start rolling out the digital rewards you unlocked during the campaign!
Production Update
As we mentioned in a previous update, all the files are with the manufacturer and the process of digital and physical proofing is under way! We are waiting on some samples and should have some physical proofs to show you in our next update.
Also, we are shipping Yoshi a TON of bookplates for them to sign, so wish them (and their wrist) good luck!

Hope you all have a great holidays, more to come in 2024!
Smoke Tests landing soon! + Backerkit Guide + File Distribution Progress
about 1 year ago

Hey backers!
We’re happy to share that the smoke tests are going out shortly, we're waiting on confirmation from Backerkit that everything looks good on their end and we're pushing it live! Only 5% of backers will receive a smoke test, so if you don’t receive one during this process, your survey will go out with the rest of the backers once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected!
If everything goes perfectly with the smoke test we’ll send the rest of the surveys on Monday November 20th!
When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete it as soon as possible so we can make our orders with our production partners. We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before mass production starts.
We’ve included a guide to help you complete your surveys below a quick update on some digital releases.
BackerKit Survey Guide
1) Select your country for shipping and click "Get Started". If you would like to upgrade to a higher pledge tier, locate the link under the "Get Started" button and click that instead. Please note that if you switch pledge levels, add-ons selected on Kickstarter will not be automatically appliedto BackerKit.
2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).
3) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge on the right side of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!
4) Once you've selected all the items you want, click "Next".
5) Enter your shipping address and click "Next".
6) Confirm the provided information is correct, provide a payment method, and click "Confirm"
Please note: Due to limitations using PayPal, it is not currently enabled as a payment option for this project. We are looking at making it available closer to when we’re charging cards for outstanding balances due to add-ons and shipping costs. Backers who intend to use PayPal as their payment method should be able to complete their surveys then.
Surveys and addresses will be locked closer to fulfillment so you’ll be able to make changes even after submitting your survey until we let you know otherwise! Payment for outstanding balances and shipping will be collected at a later date.
Commonly Asked Questions on BackerKit Surveys
Can I upgrade my pledge through the survey?
Yes! When you get your survey hit the button below "Get Started". This will enable you to up your pledge tier in case you've decided you want a different deal!
My payment didn’t go through and I was dropped from the Kickstarter. What do I do?
Don’t panic! You should still receive the BackerKit survey and you’ll be able to pay for your pledge there.
I missed the campaign. When will preorders be open?
