Shipping Starts Soon!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Apr 28, 2021 at 10:37:58 PM

Hi everyone!

After a delay at customs, Umbra is safely at Gambler's Warehouse. They should start shipping at the end of this week. I will be shipping some of the Signed decks. I am still waiting for inventory from Gambler's before I can start fulfilling the signature rewards.

Be sure to comment and message me your comments about Umbra when you receive your rewards.

Happy 2021!

Please Complete Your Surveys! Getting Ready to Ship!
about 3 years ago – Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 08:48:46 AM

Hi everyone!

We are getting close to shipping time! I am expecting the shipment of Umbra decks anytime now. The only problem is, I don't know when. Due to the ports being very congested, I am being optimistic for our shipment to be in soon. I am hoping to get you're all's rewards out by the end of April (if not sooner).

To be prepared for it, I want to be proactive. One major thing I need from you is to complete your surveys or make your changes. If you moved recently, please update your shipping address to reflect your new dwelling place. If you can't find the link to your survey, please message me and I will get it to you.

On another note, I will personally be handling and shipping all signed Umbra rewards. There are about 120 rewards that I will be shipping out myself. What has to happen is, once Gambler's receives the Umbra decks from customs, they will be sending me all of the items that I need to send to the Signed reward backers. I will make up the signed sleeves and brick boxes, seal the packages with the custom wax seal and send you your rewards. 

This just means, it might take your packages a little longer to get to you. I am only one person (I might be able to wrangle in some family to help), but they will be done beautifully for your enjoyment.

Oh...I have decided to hand-sign every deck. I will sign them on the backs on top of the cellophane. If you pledged for a single signed deck, the signed deck will be placed inside a signed sleeve and sealed with a red stamped wax seal. If you pledged for a signed deck that is a part of a brick set, I will sign the decks and place them in a brick box along with the other decks, sign the brick box and seal it with a wax seal as well.

Wow, I thought this was going to be short. 

Hey you all be safe and I will be in touch with more news shortly.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for not posting in awhile. Everything is on schedule. The decks are printed and they are now on the slow boat to the US. We should expect the decks to be in the warehouse by early April. Let's hope there aren't any port delays.

Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. Until next update, take care.

Kickstarter Funds are In! BackerKit Survey going out.
over 3 years ago – Wed, Dec 09, 2020 at 09:11:17 PM

Hey all!

The Kickstarter funds are in the bank and the BackerKit Surveys will be coming to you shortly. You should be getting your surveys today or tomorrow sometime.

For the 25 backers that were dropped from the project, no worries, you will still have the chance to recover your pledges. That is the beauty of using a pledge manager after Kickstarter.

What's going on behind the scenes?

I am really excited to start getting these made! All of the artwork for Umbra has been sent to Legends and once I have a better idea of the numbers, I will put them in.

Quick Updates in the Comments Section

Also, I will be giving sooner updates through the comments section on the Kickstarter page. These will be updates that don't require a full newsletter update. If you ever have a question about what's going on. Go to the comments section to see if there is anything new or current. Sometimes it might be a couple months before you get a newsletter update, but the comments section I will be updating with quick updates.

THANK YOU ALL for your support for Umbra.

Thanks!
