The Day Has Come! Backstock decks available for pre-purchase!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Aug 12, 2021 at 08:56:31 AM

By this time, everyone should have their decks. I know there are some stragglers still who are in tracking limbo. But tomorrow, the backstock and remaining supply of the decks and art prints and stickers and etc are arriving to my apartment. 

Now is the time to MESSAGE ME HERE or EMAIL ME ([email protected]) to let me know if you had a deck missing cards printing errors, etc. If your tracking is just missing, you can 100% reach out to me and I'll look into it with you to figure out where it went and get you a replacement if needed. 

(If emailing, PLEASE also share your backer number or Kickstarter account name or email, so I can figure out who you are. Thanks)

Now, they are just arriving tomorrow, so it will be a few days as I go through the decks and make sure the remaining ones have no printing errors, but I will start shipping out fixes for messed up prints ASAP. I also need a screwup count to let the printer know what they owe me, as there have been more than a few errors I've heard about, and after all the delays they had it's the least they can do haha. 

Also, I have put my square store back up. Please note there are limited supply on the oracle dice, so they are likely to disappear soon. They will have a 2nd edition with more dice on Kickstarter early 2022, so wait for that if you have the patience!

Otherwise backstock of the gold and silver Normal Tarot are available there.

Let me know if there are any other issues or remaining questions! If you don't have your decks in hand yet, MESSAGE ME or EMAIL ME. Commenting here doesn't help as I can't give out tracking info in public. :P

Thanks for going on this journey with me, apologies for all the delays, but we did it. Alleyman's is coming along just slightly delayed, and the Divination Coins that I had planned for October may be just pushed back to 2022 to give that project breathing room as it finishes. Please join me for future projects, and we'll try to overcome COVID shipping delays and get things done on time next time around!

Love and good, warm, content thoughts,

You are not forgotten, and neither are your packages! FIXES FOR MISSING PACKAGES AND MISPRINTS COMING
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 12:43:55 AM

Hello everyone!

I apologize for the radio silence-- my hands have been very full with the Alleyman's Tarot, a move to a new place, and other nonsense. I have been tracking all the missing packages and misprints and decks with a card missing and decks where 20 cards are duplicated (and thus 20 other cards are missing).

I didn't want to update just yet, because I was going to wait until the decks arrived to me before I did so, but I do want you to know I see all your messages + comments + emails. A number of international backers are still waiting on their packages with tracking numbers just not updating for a month now. I know that's frustrating, please give it a little while longer. With COVID, international mailing has been a bit of a crapshoot.

My next update will be when the remainder of the decks arrive to me (hopefully in the next 1-2 weeks). I will first be going through each and every single deck to see if there are any other misprints in the backstock, THEN I will update to ask that people who need replacement cards or decks reach out, THEN I will put the rest up on my store to sell. This has been quite a journey haha, I know it's been on and off, but the quality of the decks (that aren't messed up) are incredible. I mean, even the messed up ones are incredible haha, just also messed up. 

So tl;dr, wait until my next update where I ask for it to send me more info on missing packages or misprints with your decks. I will get them all replaced with my backstock as soon as it arrives and I check that it's all good! : )

Stay safe, and thanks for your patience waiting with me for it all to come together!

The PDFs of the Tarot Guides!
almost 3 years ago – Sun, Jun 27, 2021 at 03:50:42 AM

Hey everyone. I'm a bit of a dumb dumb. I thought I had already sent the book PDFs out, and on the 24th we lost internet for the full day so I didn't even see all the comments and emails etc asking about the PDFs, nor on the 25th (yesterday) because I took the day off from work to generally do nothing for my birthday. Woo, very exciting.

So today I got online and on all my social media and emails and messages people are asking after the PDFs I had never sent. Fair.

https://www.drivethrufiction.com/product/343266/How-to-Normal-Tarot-2nd-Ed-Silver

The print-on-demand versions of the books now have $0 PDF options! : )

Easy peasy, anyone can get it now.

I have been informed that people are getting their packages all over (I still don't have one myself so I'm jealous!) I'm very excited. I'm ALSO seeing that a few are ending up damaged by poor packing. Please keep track of anything you need replaced and wait for my update that notes that I actually have the items myself, around the 20th of July. I can't get anything sent out until it arrives to me. A few people had art prints get ruined in transit (we got 2-3x as many as we ordered so that will be no issue) and one person had issues with their cards that I will fix as soon as I have decks.

Additionally! Many people are asking me now where to buy more, because the decks look so frickin good. I don't have the stock in hand yet, my webstore is down for maintenance, and I'm moving in the next 2-3 weeks. I am planning to have the extra stock up for sale on my webstore around July 20th~. Please wait till then, I'll make an update and announcement. Thank you for your patience and support!

You are all lovely people.  As of today 1,500 of the orders have shipped. The last 500~ should be going out this week or early next week, as they finish counting whatever they need to count of the remaining items.

(Note: you cannot ask me at this point to update your address-- there were times to do that and they are not when the items are being shipped. I literally cannot change them at this point. I understand with the delays for some of you it was hard to know when the items were coming/when to update. I did ship USPS so if you did mail forwarding it should be fine. Apologies, we'll have to figure out how to get the items to you when the backstock gets to me.)

POP THAT CHAMPAGNE! ORDERS ARE BEING SHIPPED!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Jun 19, 2021 at 01:55:00 AM

Oh yeah, finally!

I got a batch of five emails all the sudden that noted that my orders were shipping. I clicked to see what I was getting and it's YOUR ORDERS! Starting today (and on for probably 2 or so weeks...?) your orders are shipping! I am so so so thankful haha.  Looks like they're starting with pre-order backers who only ordered pins, probably for the sake of picking the easiest packages first. Fair enough.

(On that note, I see 51 backers who STILL haven't done their surveys. Cmooooon people. If you're getting to it this late, just message me to let me know, as I'll have to ship it myself when the decks arrive to me.)

You will get an email to your address associated with backerkit/kickstarter when your package goes out with tracking automatically, so be on the lookout! 

Now we wait for silver and gold goodness to grace our lives. : )

Is it finally that time? I think so.
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 18, 2021 at 07:46:58 PM

Hello all you amazing people. First off, my apologies for not updating sooner.

However, every time I got new info, I was happy to share it! And share it I did, only for it to be wrong again, again, and again. The printer repeatedly either lied to me or was just mistaken with their estimated dates, so I kept passing on new, later dates to you. Not even June 2nd was right, it appears. 

However, as of a few days ago, the final items (the decks, stickers, and prints) arrived to the fulfillment center. There have been some OTHER issues with the fulfilllment center not accepting the fulfillment sheet these last few days, but the final and properly 'compliant-to-their-systems-sheet' is finally in their hands, and ALL the items are present in their system. 

I did have some updates between now and the last update, but honestly? I was getting sick of being made a liar repeatedly. I kept being told things were almost done, or were about to be done, then that time would pass and I'd ask for updates and they'd say just a couple more weeks, over and over. I put off making this update until I knew everything was ACTUALLY in place. And even now, I don't know that it's all ready to go. They have it all, but they're still inventory-ing the deck shipment, and for all I know they could find out it's half the order and the other half is lost on a freighter somewhere.

But I've gotten a handful of people asking me what's the deal, where's the update, so here it is. The update is that if the universe can stop delaying this, everything is in place. It should be shipping ASAP. But I won't actually know it's being fulfilled until the fulfillment center tells me as much. So this is the update to let you know that shipping should be starting immediately-- everything is in place. But that until I do another update saying it's all heading your way, we can't just assume it's actually happening yet.

So I know I keep asking, and it's unfair of me to do so, but please bear with me until the next update, the one where I can say with 100% certainty that it's happening, that it's on the way. But by gods, the fulfillment center has everything plus a $25,000 down payment that came to them months ago. There should be literally nothing stopping this from being fulfilled now.

Celebratory "FINALLY FULFILLING" update still pending.

Thank you,
