Hello Trusty Backers!

Earlier this week I found out that the last of the dice were shipped to my printing parter and this morning when I woke up I received a tracking number for the remaining toppers! Once they have them in hand, they'll be able to give me an updated timeline to finish putting all the pieces together, and then we can start looking at getting everything to the fulfillment warehouses.

I hope you have a good weekend, and as I have more news I will post an update.

As always, thanks for being a part of this project!

Hello Trusty backers!

I know this has been a longer process than I anticipated, and I thank you for your patience. 

Yesterday I received samples of the printed components and two sets packed in their vials. Everything looks incredible!

There is still only 1 dice set waiting to get to the packing facility and when that happens things should really start coming together. 

Below are photos of the samples. 

That's all for this update. I hope you have a great weekend!

Quick Production Update 11.13.21

Hello trusty backers, 

I wanted to share a quick production update. 

2 more of the color styles of dice have been shipped on to the packaging manufacturer. This leaves only 1 set left. After doing another inspection on this latest paint job, their color ink for the numbers did not match quite right so they are having to re-ink this last color version.

As soon as I have more info, I will share it with you. 

Thank you for all of your patience with this project.

Production Update 11.03.21

Hello trusty backers,

I wanted to give you a quick update on everything.

• 2 out of 5 styles of dice have arrived at the print/packaging facility. The dice manufacturer believes they will be done with their latest round of quality control at the end of this week. 
• The additional topper manufacturing is moving slower than I thought it would. To not lose any additional time, I am going to have those toppers sent directly to me. The packaging facility should have enough to get tops on all the sets that were ordered for the Kickstarter. I will just need to put together the additional sets as I need them.

I will hopefully have more news at the end of next week, but everything with this project has moved slower than I had anticipated. Thank you all for your ongoing patience!

Production Update 10.12.21

Hello Trusty Backers, 

Since my last update there are a few pieces of this project that have gone a little wrong and they are in the process of being corrected.

• The dice that were supposed to be sent to the printer ended up having a second inspection and there were a number of dice that did not meet my quality expectations for the inking of the numbers. Because of this, some of the dice had to be re-inked and polished. I am waiting to hear back on how much longer that is going to take. During that time there was a week-long festival and another holiday, which has slowed down that process.
• While getting all of the materials ready for the packaging, the print manufacturer realized the topper factory only provided about 2/3 of what I had asked for. There was a communication error that I did not see in my conversation with the topper company where they had missed me asking to increase the quantity. I should have caught that and I didn't... so we are waiting for the rest of the toppers as well. 

I'm very sorry for the hiccups the project is having at the moment. I am hoping that we will have some good news soon, because I am looking forward to getting these dice in your hands.

Brian
