Dice Production Continuing without Delay!

Hi Everyone,
Just keeping all of you wonderful backers up to date with how production is going! The short version is: on track.
The slightly longer version is as follows. The process for creating these dice includes an interior/core component, an exterior, and then a filling for the rest of the space to maintain balance and keeps the interior in its position. The core components have all been completed, and everything is now in the process of being inserted and filled in the dice themselves. Production has continued wonderfully, with no further delays or unexpected occurrences. We are still expecting to be done and shipping in May!
As always thank you so much for your support, for filling out your Backerkit surveys (although there are still 33 that haven't been done, make sure that's not you!), and for allowing us to do these projects. Speaking of...
As production wraps we're looking at beginning the process of our next project, a climactic sequel to our F*ck Dice Kickstarter from last year. If you'd like to sign up to get notified on launch, follow this link and get in early!
Thanks everyone, happy rolling.
Surveys are Out and Production Update

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to keep everyone up to date with the Class Dice as we proceed on our end.
Firstly, the Backerkit Surveys have all gone out! Thank you to everyone that's filled theirs out, we appreciate you hopping on as quickly as possible. We've successfully collected 81% of the surveys, but that means there's still 53 people that need to let us know which sets they want and their shipping information. The sooner you can do so the better!
Also just as a reminder, please update any changes to your shipping address as soon as they happen, if you have any updates it's always easier before the shipping gets locked.
Finally a little update on production. We have hit a minor delay, we were on pace to get everyone's dice shipped well before our estimated delivery date, but because of the complexity of these particular dice that early delivery isn't quite as early. Each set has a background field (the color you see in the images), and then the icons are stickers that need to be placed on those colored fields before the whole thing is set in resin. It's a complicated process that's taken a little longer than expected. We're still on track to begin shipping sometime in May, which is ahead of our initial projections but later than our most recent estimate. Apologies for the mislead, we'll let you know if the timeline changes again, in either direction.
Thanks again everyone!
Smoke Tests Going Out

Hi everyone!
We've set up the Backerkit surveys, which means the smoke test is going out today. The smoke test just means a few of you will receive the survey to fill out, and if there's anything that doesn't work with it we'll know before it goes out to everyone else, and we can fix any issues promptly and early.
Most of you won't receive the smoke test and won't need to do anything, but please check your email today and tomorrow in case you do. We really need everyone who receives the smoke test to fill it out as soon as they can, the sooner we get the smoke tests back the sooner we can get the surveys out to everyone!
In the meantime, don't forget we have our Design Preference Poll out, if you haven't filled it out already please do! And if you're looking to late pledge for a few more sets, or have someone that would love a Class set but missed the Kickstarter, our Pre-Order store is now up and running.
Thanks again everyone, we're so excited for these dice and it's great we've been able to get them going thanks to you!

Druid & Bard Dice Sets Confirmed!
We've got some super exciting news to share, thanks to your incredible support, we’re officially able to produce the Druid and Bard dice sets as part of our original production run! We know a lot of you have been hoping for these sets, and we’re thrilled to make it happen. 🌿🎶
⚠️ Important Note: These two sets will be produced in slightly limited quantities compared to the other options, so if you’ve had your eye on them, be sure to select them when the survey goes live!
📝 Survey Update: Coming This Week!
Rory and I have been hard at work getting the survey ready, and we’re on track to have it live this week. We’ll post another update the moment it’s available, so keep an eye out!
Your participation in this survey is crucial, it helps us estimate stock counts accurately and ensures we meet everyone’s preferences as closely as possible.
⚒️ Production Progress: Full Steam Ahead
The dice have officially entered full production round #1!
This first round should cover all Kickstarter orders, though as you know, it’s always tricky predicting exactly what everyone will order. That’s why your survey responses are so important, they help us estimate stock counts more accurately.
💡 Thank You: Huge thanks to everyone who filled out the survey!
⏳ Timeline Expectations: What to Expect
Generally, production takes about a month, but given the complexity of these dice, we’re estimating a 6-week timeline to get everything ready for shipment.
📦 Our Goal: We’re confident this timeline gives us a solid chance of having everything ready to ship near April 12th.
Long story short: we’re making all 12 sets, including Druid and Bard, and we couldn’t be happier. We hope you’re all just as excited!
Look out for another update later this week with all the survey details.
Cheers!
Eric

Hi everyone,
LINK TO DESIGN POLL
We've gotten a ton of responses to the design poll so far and just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has filled it out! Your input is incredibly important at this point, so we really appreciate letting us know which way you're leaning.
If you haven't filled in the poll yet, please do! It's just a couple questions based on your backing level and intention for which dice you're going to select, and it helps us immensely with figuring out the specifics of our manufacturing run.
Thank you once again, if you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to reach out via email or by visiting our Discord! Or by commenting here of course.
