A Correction Regarding the Tarot Deck Pledge Description
about 7 years ago – Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 10:16:39 AM

Since I cannot alter the original description of the pledges, I am using this update as a platform to officially correct the description here.

The description states that you will receive a custom tuck box with the deck. As we surpassed the first stretch goal for better custom packaging, the deck will instead come with super cool and sturdy packaging, NOT a tuck box. This is a big upgrade and comes to you at absolutely no extra cost. The card measurements are also an approximation and may be slightly larger (but will not be any smaller).

I am working with a designer now to finalize this packaging and will post the mock-up once I've got it.

You guys are great! Thanks again for your amazing support!

Stretch Goal Achieved, The Next Stretch Goal, and Addons
about 7 years ago – Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 06:19:06 PM

You guys are AMAZING!

Since we reached the second stretch goal of $9,999 I can now afford to have custom packaging made which will also include a small (better quality) booklet that will fit nicely inside. The packaging is in the process of being designed now, and I will post updates once I get a good mockup. At this time, I am aiming for full color glossy laminate finish on a two-part box with a chipboard insert which will fit the cards.

This packaging is of no extra cost to you wonderful people and will automatically be included.

The next stretch goal is for $13,333 which will allow funding for a set of 4 engraved pint glasses with The Fool, The Star, The Hermit, and Strength on them. The set will go for $36.

Finally Addons! I had added a section near the end of the project description which details what addons are and how you go about doing it. This will allow you to add any product you like to your existing pledge. I will paste instructions below this update, or you can read them on the Kickstarter page.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who have pledged. Image updates to come in the next week!

Addons have been requested by a number of you, and I am happy to report they are now available! There is no minimum pledge amount for addons. Addon away :)

What are Addons?: Addons are a way to add more stuff to your pledge without changing your pledge tier or having to make an entirely new pledge.

How do I apply an addon to my existing pledge?:

1) At the top of the screen underneath numbers of backers/pledge total/days to go, there is a blue button that says "Manage Your Pledge." Click the button.

2) Increase your pledge in the Pledge Amount box by the total of the addons you would like to purchase. Addons will be the same price as the rewards. For example, if you pledged $10 for a set of buttons but decide you want the deck to go with it, you will change your pledge amount from $10 to $55 to reflect the cost of the deck you have added on. A list of prices for the US and a list of international prices are below this explanation. DO NOT change your tier of pledge, only change the amount.

3) Once the campaign ends, I will send a survey out to all backers which asks you how you would like the addon money to be assigned.

What are the Prices for Domestic vs International Pledge Addons?:

  • Postcard: + $5 (this is both within and outside of the US)
  • Button Pack: + $10 for US, + $13 for international
  • Tote Bag: + $25 for US, + $35 for international
  • T-Shirt: + $28 for US, + $38 for international
  • Deck: + $45 for US, + $55 for international
  • Uncolored Print: + $60 for US, + $75 for international
  • Colored Print: + $120 for US, + $135 for international
  • Fundle Trundle Bundle: + $170 for US, + $185 for international
  • Trundle Bundle Deluxle: + $250 for US, + $270 for international

Hitting the Stretch Goals and the Printing Press!
about 7 years ago – Thu, Feb 09, 2017 at 09:46:20 PM

I am just astounded by the response from the community about this deck. Thank you everyone for your contributions.

The second stretch goal for $13,333 was reached so quickly I haven't had time to create mock-ups for the pint glasses! Since The Star and Strength have not been printed yet, I will be listing the pint glasses once I have those images handy for mock-ups (likely on the 13th or 14th).

I've got 5 finished blocks (The Star, Strength, The Hierophant, The Sun, and The High Priestess) and one block in progress (The Lovers) I will be printing at Open Press on Friday. After the prints are dry enough, I will be posting an update with the black and white images as well as the pint glass mock-ups.

The 3rd stretch goal is $17,777 which will unlock printed pull-over hoodies!
