We hope everyone is having a great Earth Day weekend! I sure did since Earth Day is also my birthday 😊!
There is one week left to complete, alter, and/or add to your survey. The survey will close on April 30th and credit cards will be charged on May 1st. You will still be able to update addresses until we lock them, which won't be until we are ready to start shipping. You will receive notification of when this will happen. As of now we have 82% of surveys completed. Yesterday, we sent out links to Backers who have not completed them in case they were overlooked.
Shop happenings . . .
We've been busy getting ready to start manufacturing. All the tools are being serviced and bits and blades are getting sharpened. We've purchased and cut the materials to build the molds, we're taking inventory of the additional pigments needed and epoxy and magnets are on their way.
We will have regular progress updates once things get started.
Have a great week and if you have any questions just let us know.

Survey Glitch 🙄!

It seems that there is a glitch with the survey. If you want to add-on the 4-d6's, d20, or a set of dice, you will get a message that says, "this option is not available." I'm trying to figure it out but if I can't, we might have to wait until Monday when my contact at Backerkit can fix it for us. I guess this is why we do the "smoke test."
I will keep you posted.

Surveys are on the way!

Hope everyone had a great week!
We are finally able to start sending our Backer surveys. Creating this survey turned out to be a bit more challenging than with our last Kickstarter. The hold up was all the amazing offerings for the Valkyrie dice. Imagine, 63 resin colors to choose from, two different d12 styles, two different d4 styles and you can choose from 10 paint colors for your numbers. You can do the math, or I could just tell you, that's 252 variations 😜. But, with the help of the amazing people at Backerkit we got it all figured out. I've attached photos of your choices of dice styles so you can get a better idea of what you can choose from.
So, what's next? Well, the way the Backerkit survey works is they send out a "Smoke test" first. What this means is that 5% of Backers from each pledge level will receive the survey, basically making these Backers the "guinea pigs" for the survey. Once the majority of these Backers have completed the survey, and we know that there aren't any glitches, we will send the rest of them out. The "smoke test" will be sent out tonight (4/14) and the plan is to have the rest of the surveys out by the end of the weekend. I will send an update when all surveys have been sent so that you can keep an eye out for them.
When you receive your survey, you will be asked to answer the a few pledge questions, this is where you will make your choices, based on your pledge level, for your free merchandise that was part of your pledge level. Next, you will go to the "Add-on" section where you will see that you have a credit (the dollar amount that you pledged in the kickstarter). Now you get to choose the items you want, and the dollar amount will be deducted from your credit. If you already chose add-ons during the Kickstarter, they will be in your cart already.
We've added a few additional items in the add-on section so you can add those at this time as well. When you are all finished, you should complete the address section, shipping costs will be based on your location and the total weight of your merchandise. If you think you might be moving, that's okay, you can change your address up to the time that we lock addresses, this is around the time we begin shipping. We will send out an update to let everyone know before we lock addresses.
I think that's everything for now. If I forgot anything or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Interacting with our Backer's is one of my favorite parts of this process.
Have a great weekend and happy shopping!
