Goodmorning! I just got news with the printing house, all cards are printed and laminated, and now moving towards the die-cutting phase before being shipped to me. The boxes will follow soon, so we're still on schedule.
I hope to receive the cards and boxes at the end of this month, then I will gather awesome friends to help me fold all the boxes and pack your orders!
In other news, I and Kapitein Kleerhaak will be exhibitors at Midwinterfair Archeon (NL) on December 10th and 11th! Come say hi! If you want to pick up your Deck there, change your location to local pickup (by mailing the BackerKit helpdesk, they're very friendly) and sent me a message to bring your order.
I will lock your addresses in 2 days, so if you want to change anything, please change it now! Thank you!
That is all, have a lovely day!
Surprise giveaway Rainbow Canvas

Hello wonderful people!
Your orders have been locked, Kickstarter promised to book over the money to my account and I've emptied my savings into the publishing house's account with my Deck of Many Things order until then.. Things are going according to plan!
There is a small hick-up with the embroidery machine of Kapitein Kleerhaak, who is putting overtime into getting them done before the end of the month, so keep your fingers crossed on that one.
In the meantime, the Rainbow canvas*. It combines the animal I picked as my logo with the rainbow of colours that make up the Deck itself. I was gonna give it away at the next stretchgoal, but we didn't make that. So instead, help me reach you without the meddling of algorithms. I write a newsletter once a month, giving you highlights, sneak peeks and backgrounds to what I'm working on. I've been told it's a nice one!
All you have to do is subscribe to my newsletter before November 25th on the bottom of any page on my website. A random winner will be selected in the first week of December!
People who get the newsletter already automatically participate, I will reach out to the winner and announce them in the December newsletter.
*Worth €250,- free shipping worldwide.
Reminder: fill in your shipping surveys!

Pre-order store is live!

Hello everyone, the pre-order store is live! This is NOT FOR BACKERS! but for the lovely people that forgot to back or don't have a creditcard and would like to pay through PayPal*. It will be open for a week (maybe two), and will be sent out as a second batch after the Kickstarter orders are sent out.
The surveys are currently under inspection of BackerKit, which can take up to 2 workdays. If they're ready, I will sent them out a.s.a.p.! In these surveys, you will have the opportunity to add more Decks, artwork or pouches to your orders, so you can make optimal use of your shipping fees.
You will have a week from the moment the surveys are sent, to fill them in. It's a short timeframe to secure fast production and ship everything before Christmas!
*PayPal isn't yet an option. I am in contact with the BackerKit helpdesk. If you want to pay through PayPal, please sent me a message through Kickstarter so I can inform you directly on the process. Worst case scenario, I will offer your items through Etsy.
We did it!

You and 77 other backers raised a total of €5488,- to get the Deck of Many Things produced!
Over a hundred Decks have been pre-ordered, and over half of them will include a beautiful pouch, art print or original canvas.
Thank you!
Now what? I am currently working hard to get the BackerKit surveys and Pre-Order shop set up. I am also in close contact with my production house, who are currently moving both editions of the Deck of Many Things into production! Jennifer from Kapitein Kleerhaak is working hard on all the embroidery, and some amazing volunteers (and my family) will help me package everything at the end of this month.
I will sent out the surveys tomorrow, in which you fill in your information, pay for shipping and have a chance to edit your pledge. Keep in mind that the shipping for 2 Decks (+ pouches) is the same price as for 1, so if you want to team up with your DM, partner, grandma or best friend to split that cost, you ll have approximately a week before I lock the orders.
After that, I will sent out another survey or reminder at the end of November that locks addresses, and proceed to shipping out everything!
Join me in my excitement, remember to hydrate and take care of yourselves. You will hear from me soon!
