JOYOUS NEWS!
Anyone who was holding out for Aurora Shifter, you have been rewarded. We've unlocked her for all backers (and also all late backing, which is open for another two weeks)!
All surveys have now been sent out to all backers - please keep an eye on your inbox as the sooner we get these filled in, the sooner we can get stuff sent out to you! This is how you will tell us what prints and playmats you want, plus how we'll get your address!
If you don't receive on in the next 72 hours or so, please reach out to me (cal at caljones dot com).
Thank you all!
SURVEY UPDATE!
16 days ago
– Thu, Jan 02, 2025 at 09:45:56 AM
Good afternoon all - just a quick update about the state of the Backer Survey!
For those who don't know, the Backer Survey is how we get your information to send you the products that you want - i.e. the right playmat design, the correct print - and also get your address! We will be using the platform Backerkit to get this information from you & you'll get an email from them! As a quick reminder as well, if you sign into Kickstarter with Apple, we would appreciate it if you could double check the email associated with your account & make sure it's your normal email, not an Apple Hide My Email address (Backerkit struggles with them).
We originally planned to have the Backer Survey out today but now are waiting on Backerkit approval - we now anticipate that we'll have it out on Tuesday, January 7th. Thank you so much for your patience!
Also, as a reminder, we're keeping Late Backing open through the end of the month! If you or a friend were waiting because of Christmas or similar, there's still plenty of time! Check that out here:
Thanks so much! We'll see you on Tuesday!!
KICKSTARTER DONE! Late Backing, Surveys Info, Stretch Goals & More

That's the end of the campaign!
Thanks y'all for your support on the campaign so far! Our official campaign period has now ended - which means its time for us to fill y'all in on what's next!
Stretch Goals & Late Backing
First things first - Late Backing is open over on Backerkit and will be for about a month! We understand that the timing of this campaign lined up awkwardly with Christmas for many people so would love to give you the chance to still get your playmats! ALSO - if we hit any further stretch goals during the late backing period, we would love to open up those stretch goals to you! Orders will also be modifiable for a while too - so don't worry about missing out! Let's get that Aurora Shifter! (I'm biased, it's the art I want most hehe)
Backer Surveys! - What You Need to Know
Obviously, to send you your prints and playmats, we need to know information like "what playmat(s) you want" and "your address." We'll be collecting these via Backerkit surveys! Between the holidays, allowing Kickstarter to fully verify who has paid/not paid, and making sure we have our ducks 100% in a row, we are planning on sending out the survey on January 6th, 2025. Please be on the lookout for this email - the sooner people get their surveys filled out, the sooner we can get the production & shipping machine movin' & groovin'.
You also can add additional playmats/prints/etc. to your pledge through the backer survey! So fear not, if you decide you want an extra playmat or three, you'll be able to get that!
Here is the #1 thing you can do to make this easier on yourself ahead of time - if you have used Apple to log in to Kickstarter, PLEASE go to your account settings & double check that you do not have an Apple Private Relay email associated as your account email. They look like huge strings of numbers and text, rather than a normal email address. These emails make it VERY hard for us to get your survey to you for you to fill out - the best thing you can do for us is to change that account email to your "normal" email address before Jan. 6th.
Key Dates
This may be a bit dangerous, but here are some of the key dates we have set in our head -
- Jan 6th, 2025 - Send Backer Survey
- Jan 17th, 2025 - Close Late Backing
- Feb 3rd, 2025 - Lock Backerkit Orders/Charge cards for add-ons
- Feb 17th, 2025 - Begin Production*
- April 2025 - Begin Shipping*
*The production/Shipping timeline is definitely the thing most in flux - consider this at our most optimistic. We'll have several variables riding on this, including receiving items from Europe from Justyna & Piotr, getting approval from Wizards of the Coast on extended artwork, actual production timelines & more. We'll do our best to keep you updated at every step of the way!
Thanks so much for your support - we can't wait to get these playmats & prints to y'all.
