August Update

Hey everyone, I hope your summer is going well.
To keep you all in the loop, I recently received the final hardcopy proof for the box & cards and I'm really happy with how they turned out Everything looks great so I gave approval to the printers to move them to production. Yay! Big step forward.
I love the magnetic *snap* of the lid shutting. Very satisfying.
Survey Info
I've had a couple people ask when I'll be sending surveys to collect shipping information. I will be sending these surveys when the printers inform me that the decks and guidebooks are on their way to me. I prefer to have a shorter window between sending surveys and sending physical products because some people move and change addresses. It's a bit easier for me if I can minimize the number of orders that need to make any changes.
I will post an update with all the survey & shipping related information later this summer.
Warmly,
Greg
July Update

Hey everyone, I hope your summer is going well.
I wanted to share an update on how things are progressing with the oracle deck.
The final prototype for the guidebook arrived and it looks great! Besides the corrected typos and some changes in layout, my favorite improvement is the color tabs I added to the edges of the pages. These markers make it much easier to identify and flip to the suit/chapter you're looking for.
I was hoping I'd be able to show you the final prototype of the cards and magnetic box in this update, but they haven't arrived yet. The good news is they've been shipped by the printers, so they should be here at my doorstep some time next week. I don't expect there to be any issues with these hardcopy proofs.
Due to the timing of when I'll receive the final prototype of the cards and box, it will likely be late September or early October when I'll be shipping your decks/books to you. (Just setting expectations.)
In other news, I had all the stretch goal bookmarks, postcards, and stickers printed. All five items below will be included with each order.
Have a great weekend and get up to something fun. :)

Hello everyone, I hope June is off to a good start for you. I'm writing to give you a quick update on how the Sylvankind Oracle is progressing.
After having a couple people review the cards and guidebook, a few needed edits were made apparent. I'm in the process of having one last physical proof made just to be sure these changes look right in printed form. Even with this additional step, we are still on track for the September arrival date. :)
Wishing you a great week ahead.
Warmly,
Greg

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great day.
Thank you so much for helping bring this project to life. I'm feeling so much gratitude towards all of you and I'm really excited that I'll be able to print and share another deck with you.
Next steps...
Once Kickstarter has collected the funds raised from all of the backers, they will transfer that money to my account. From previous experience, this process usually takes about a week. I will then have one final prototype of the deck printed to ensure everything is perfect before I make the bulk order.
Over the coming months I will post updates to this page with information on the project's current status. If you ever have any questions, please send me a message.
Thanks again, everyone! I'm really looking forward to getting these decks and books in your hands.
Warmly,
Greg
Another Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice long weekend.
Over the past couple of days we reached the third stretch goal for this campaign. This means that everyone who backs this project will receive two 4x6 postcards along with their stickers and bookmark.
Reaching the next stretch goal will unlock an addition to the guidebook that includes deck-specific spreads for how one can use these cards. I think this section will be really useful and I'm excited to include it. To ensure this stretch goal does not delay the production of the guidebook, I've already begun working on these writings.
Lastly, I want to let you know that I just created another reward tier for one of the original paintings of the Sylvankind Oracle. The painting comes matted and framed and the tier will include a signed copy of the deck and guidebook. You can view a process video for how the painting was created on the campaign's main page.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
Greg
