Hey all,
I'm still waiting on the test prints of the decks, but as soon as I have them in hand and love them (as I should) I will okay full production. We're fully on track, and I'm very excited!
Also, I got these pins in like, 10 minutes after my last update, but figured I'd wait.
The three pins of the Normal Tarot!
They look so so so good-- I can't wait to get the decks and prints and stickers and have everything going out in every direction to everyone around the world. I am FULL of excitement!
I still have a poetry kickstarter live right now that is doing about as well as I'd expect a poetry kickstarter to, but I also have news on the Alleyman's Tarot-- it will launch on April 13th (after this one is fulfilled) and is now live for a pre-launch page, so you can hit that "Notify me on launch" button for the future you who wants a really cool, 130 card deck made up of cards from different decks and original pieces and more.
Next time you hear from me, I should have the print tests of the decks and many pictures to share!
Thanks everyone!

An Update -- A Small New Project !
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 12:20:56 PM
Hello tarot lovers!
Small update-- the print files for the tarot decks and books are all with the printer, going through the early process of getting test prints made. Everything is on track, I'd expect printing to be happening by the end of the money/start of Feb, then shipping from them to the fulfilment center who would take 2-3 weeks to complete shipping, which would begin/end in March.
Just overall, we're on time! The only thing I can really do now is keep bugging the fulfilment center to try and give me a better price haha-- but otherwise we're good!
You can still make more orders/pre-orders on the backer kit, and change your address for a while. I will let everyone know before I plan on locking all of that.
In the mean time, I JUST launched a new project for Kickstarter's Make 100 campaign. This Map is Just a Suggestion is a 15 year retrospective of my poetry. I got my Masters in Poetry back in 2015, and have written 14+ books of poetry over those 15 years. 12 of them were pared down and selected from for this book, while the remaining two are getting re-released along with a final book in a series with those two called Every Day in Love-- a poetry series about my fictional marriage to horror icons Freddy Krueger and Pinhead, and our adoption of some lovely horror children. It's part satire and part heart-warming, domestic comedy.
As a transgender person, it means a lot to finally bring my old work forward with me under my new name, and it gives me a chance to finally put a last capstone on that time of being the old me. Come join me for some weird and fun poetry!
See you all again soon when I start hearing about print tests and that fun stuff! : )
Might order a print on demand version of each deck (sans box and foil) and book here soon as well for some fun photo ops.
Tata for now!

Happy New Year!!!! Print Files Being Sent!
over 3 years ago

Hello everyone!
I've been a bit quiet, my apologies. Things have been steadily going forward. I tried to get the print files in on time (the 28th) but there was an issue with the formatting (long story short they didn't give me a guide for the foil part, and I didn't ask. Whoops on multiple fronts.) I'll have the print files for the decks, booklets, boxes, stickers, art prints, and books all in on the 4th when they are back from their vacation.
Then pre-press, then hopefully we go to production by the end of January!
I need to lock in a fulfilment center still, but they wouldn't quote me prices until the new year began due to yearly price changes. We'll see how it works out, and I'll keep you updated!
I locked in backer names for the backer credits in the book. If people fill out their surveys now (100 havent yet) I will still use their address ofcourse to send the decks, but I just used what name was available on Kickstarter. Things are a moving!
I have an extra little project coming here in January-- just a selected book of my poetry from the last 15 years. I'd love it if you all considered supporting it, but no push. I know poetry isn't that exciting for many of you haha-- but I write fiction, poetry, screenplays, make music, make card games and ttrpg and video games, just so many things on top of the tarot and the oracle dice. So it would mean a lot to me if you consider this poetry collection as another facet of what I make!
Thanks everyone, and see you in 2021 as we send the tarot decks out!
Faithfully,
your Publishing Goblin
Backerkit Locking Tomorrow!
over 3 years ago

As you all should have been notified, Backerkit is locking tomorrow. There were, at my last count, 150 people who haven't even filled out surveys. Be sure to do that, to grab your last addons, and get it done soon!
Those last 150 people were all messaged by me directly on here, so no need to ask if you were one of them. If you are, you have a message from me with a direct link to your survey.
I'm leaving the pre-orders unlocked for a little while. They are pretty slow so I'm fine leaving them to stay open into January I think, when I should be ordering the decks, books, pins, prints, stickers, and everything else.
Thanks all you awesome people! See you in the new year~

Final Flip Through Video -- A week left on surveys and pre-orders!
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Dec 08, 2020 at 02:34:29 AM
First off, it's finally time!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x4BAb79sHk
You can see a full flip through of both decks side by side. Amy has worked really hard to get the silver deck completely updated. Up next she's doing up a new book cover You can see in the back of the video the updated book entry look, which you can compare to the smaller text entry in the old book, which you can spot in the previous flip through video on our channel.
Things are going smoothly, and all that's left is to lock in numbers! If you haven't done your survey yet on Backerkit, now is the time! On the 15th I am locking surveys and add ons so I can get orders placed.
I will be going through the remaining 280~ people from backerkit who haven't done their surveys tomorrow and start manually sending out some links to the surveys, which is super not fun to do, but we need to get it done!
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to have this all in production!
