Hello my dicey bookish folks!

Book Wyrm Pin (final version)
Isn't he cute?!?!
Dice are in production- we sent literally 1000+ pages, sealed and scrolled to the manufacturer, and they have been very dilligent and communicative through this process.
We are still very much on track to fulfill on schedule- I will keep y'all updated as there are new developments.
Here's where we are in the timeline:
Jan 2023- May 2023- Dice production <-WE ARE HERE
June 2023- Shipping from the factory to our studio
July 2023- Quality Control, assembling packages
August 2023- Fulfillment
Thanks again, as always, for your support of this project- y'all help make my dicey dreams come true!
Love and dice,
Becca
December Update!

Hello my winter dicey loves,
I don't know about y'all, but it is a brisk, frozen morning here in Atlanta! I have just a few things to update you on, and then we can all get back to our blankets and space heaters.
First! I have made a little holiday card for y'all to download if you are giving the Book Wyrm Dice as a gift for the holidays- it's being emailed to you to download through Backerkit, so you'll have a little something to put under the tree (if that's your holiday of choice). You'll receive an email, or you can log into your backerkit account and go to the digital downloads page to print your very own!
Printable card- just fold in quarters and write your message!
SPEAKING OF BACKERKIT-
We have 87% of the surveys completed, so I am going to move forward with locking orders on 12/31. If you haven't filled in your survey yet, PLEASE DO SO ASAP. You can still change your address up until we start shipping, so get those surveys in.
I am placing the order with our various factories today- dice, boxes, pins, stickers etc are all officially in process. We are about 80% done with processing the book pages, so those will be sent off by the end of next week and then we will be rolling on through to the new year.
Here's where we are in the timeline:
December 31st- Surveys due! <- THIS IS IMPORTANT
December/January- Orders placed, production begins
Jan 2023- April/May 2023- Dice production
June 2023- Shipping from the factory to our studio
July 2023- Quality Control, assembling packages
August 2023- Fulfillment
I hope you all have happy, healthy, and safe holidays!
Love and dice,
Becca

Stretch Goal Unlocked! 8d6 Sets! New stretch goal announced!

My darling Book Wyrms,
We did it! All initial stretch goals have been UNLOCKED! You'll be able to choose between 8d6 and 7 piece polyhedral dice sets, and add any d6s you so choose in the Backerkit survey post-campaign.
I have one last stretch goal for you, my dice dragons- and it's a good one. At $70K, we will unlock this enamel pin, designed by Mittie Paul (@MittieArt). They are known for their fantastical creature illustrations and comics, and I love what they've done for our Book Wyrm!
Design subject to small changes during production
We are coming to the end of our crowdfunding journey, and I am so so grateful to each and every one of you for your help and support in bringing this project to life.
