Just a little longer

I'm excited to have my house filled with boxes of wild shape cards. 

I'm frustrated and embarrassed I forgot to order one set of cards that goes with most of the orders; the goodberry cards and the NPC card.  

A new order has been placed and while I can't start shipping yet I'll just start getting everything as streamlined as I can while I wait. It should only be about 2 weeks delay from my timeline. 

Once that package arrives it will be full steam ahead. For now, pre-boxing will continue.

Shipping Soon!

Hey druid friends!

I should start getting boxes of cards this week. Maybe as soon as tomorrow. I'm excited to start filling up the studio with boxes of Wild Shape cards. I'll be working on shipping in the mornings and deep dives into boxing and shipping on the weekends.

The wood boxes are in production and are a few weeks from completion.

Moved or Moving?

If you've moved, now is the time to update your address. I'll start locking down addresses as soon as this week. If you are moving soon, let me know and I'll hold off your shipment until you give me the green light.

Didn't fill out the survey?

Use this URL to find your survey: https://wild-shape-core.backerkit.com/

You will need to use the email address you used on Kickstarter.

The few that have yet to fill out the surveys will have 1 year to do so. After 1 year the pledge is a donation to the druid circle.

Locking in orders tomorrow

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow I'll be locking in orders. And on Wednesday charging cards. The rest of the week will be tightening up the files to send off to prints and getting some final item counts. I cannot wait to get things ordered and shipped to you!

There's still 10% of you folks that haven't filled out the survey. Not to worry, I'll be ordering the items from your pledge and a few extras. 

For those that are just getting digital PDFs I'll likely close out your survey for you. Your PDF will be available from the email you used for Kickstarter. This is always a good time to check which email you use, especially if you seem to not be getting updates when and where you thought they should. 

For those getting physical items. I'll leave your survey open until you fill it out. In a few months, some add-on items might not be available. 

Pre-orders!

I'll leave the shop open over the weekend. I'll be at SCGCon in Columbus and might meet some fellow druids who would want to join our circle.

Moving forward!

I'll certainly be keeping a sharp eye on One D&D. But, nothing would be set into stone until sometime in 2024. And that's still a maybe.  I'm not really foreseeing any major changes that would affect beast shape as far as the forms we choose and the stats. I feel that as a whole there would be a large group that had a completely different experience than any of us that would be using these cards. The overtone of the changes they are currently testing is house rules that seem to be more in effect than the actual rules. 

Some things I'm working on for the next campaign in addition to the expansions:

new artists to help on a few cards, find familiar cards, starry form druid cards, and an unseen servant card. 

I'm still toying with the idea of a Patreon but at a loss what I can really deliver to a patron. I might just weave it into my current one and see where it goes.

Survey Window Closing Soon
over 3 years ago – Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 08:15:52 PM

I technically want to close the pre-order shop down at the end of the month but it makes the most sense to me to close it once I get back from SCGCon. I'll be way more focused and remove stresses that could cause mistakes.

So expect orders to get locked and cards charged around the 5th or 6th. Once I do that I'll also close down the pre-order shop as well. It will take some time for those items to be available at the retail level. Where some items I'll have in my shop and at shows and others will be available via DriveThru RPG.

What do you do if you haven't filled out the survey and I've locked orders and started ordering supplies?

First, I plan to have a few extras of everything just in case. I'll comb through the unfinished surveys to see the minimum items I'll be sure to have on hand for those backers. Those backers will have a bit of time to get things wrapped up as items are in production. This generally won't cause you too much concern. But, for my sanity, I'd love that survey completed when you can.

The one note I will make is that international backers that miss the shipping window (October) will find the shipping rates will go up as all packages will be shipped from the US rather than the EU.

If you have questions or other issues let me know. Happy to do what I can.

Surveys!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 06:57:19 AM

By now most of you have completed your survey. We're almost 70% completed. All of you that have reached out with questions, thank you! With your help, I was able to make a few adjustments that should help others out. A few of you will have a lower balance due because of it.

The sooner all the surveys are completed the sooner I can lock things in and start ordering everything. If you can't find your invitation follow this link and enter the email you used for Kickstarter.

Miss out on the campaign?

If you're not a backer but still want to get these wild shape cards I'd like to direct you to thepre-order store. There's still some time left before the pre-order store closes.
