Dark-Hunters Tarot Deck

August Update
over 1 year ago – Sat, Aug 05, 2023 at 12:32:46 PM

Can you believe it's August? We wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for their wonderful support. Our surveys went out weeks ago and we still have 190+ folks who have yet to respond. If you haven't done your survey yet, please do so: https://dhtarot.backerkit.com/ You can also add additional items to your order in that survey.  You can also make changes to your address at this time as we haven't locked them yet. 

One quick thing that I wanted to make everyone aware of is that I originally contracted with our author and artist for 78 cards. Now, our deck is up  to 130 cards (140 with the booster set). Since the size of the deck is almost double what they  thought, it will take extra time for MJ to design and color the additional cards and for Tish to write the entries for them in the guidebook (which  she can't do until MJ finishes).

MJ has had a couple of delays, but she is diligently working on the cards and hopes to deliver them no later than the first week of September.

Once MJ finishes, the art Tish will need another 8 weeks-12 weeks to finish writing them up for the guidebook and our designer will need  two to three weeks to design the book once she has all the art and text.

That means it will be the first of 2024 before the decks ship. We're hoping  desperately to get the design and final cards done sooner as we really want them in everyone's hands before the New Year and we will do  everything possible to get them into your hands ASAP.

For those who missed the campaign, you can still order the cards here: https://dhtarot.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Thank you SO much to all our backers for helping to make this  campaign a huge success! 

To thank you for your patience, here's one of the latest cards:

Correction to the last update!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Jul 02, 2023 at 02:43:52 PM

Sorry for the boo-boos. First, it was the July update and not the June one. And I somehow messed up the number of cards. 

The final card total with the stretch goals is 130 cards. 140 with the booster pack add-on. Please forgive me for being human. Numbers have never been my friend (which is why I'm a writer and not an accountant). 

Thanks so much for understanding!

June Update

Kickstarter has released the funds, so I've been in the process of paying our wonderful artist and author of our guidebook.

One quick thing that I wanted to make everyone aware of is that I contracted with our author and artist for 78 cards. Now, our deck is up to 150 cards. Since the size of the deck is almost double what they thought, it will take extra time for MJ to design and color another 72 cards and for Tish to write the entries for them in the guidebook (which she can't do until MJ finishes the cards).

The good news is that the deck is MUCH larger than we first anticipated and every backer will get a deck that has 140 cards (with the add-on booster, it's 150 in total). The bad news is that it will delay shipping. MJ has said that she needs until the first week of September to finish the additional cards. Tish will need another 8 weeks to finish writing them up for the guidebook and our designer will need two to three weeks to design the book once she has all the art and text.

That means it will be the first of 2024 before it ships. We're hoping desperately to get the design and final cards done sooner as we really want them in everyone's hands before the New Year and we will do everything possible to get them into your hands ASAP.

We will be keeping you posted every step of the way.

Surveys are coming!

BackerKit surveys are coming!

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your  BackerKit survey. It’s essential to respond to your survey as quickly as  possible since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey.  When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to  respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide  shipping information, and purchase add-on items  if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will  be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your  responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final  counts.

Due to the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping  fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have  the best estimates for everyone. We plan to enter & charge backers  for shipping a month or two before fulfillment when  we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backers’ rewards.  We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalized & before we  charge your cards in your BackerKit survey. We will keep you informed  all along the way!

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return  to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting  your survey link under “Lost your survey?” on our BackerKit project page  at https://dhtarot.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter  account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for  your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer  to use, please contact support at https://dhtarot.backerkit.com/faq.

After surveys are sent, and you did not receive the email, and you  Signed in with Apple through Kickstarter, your email address might be a  private relay email address. We can help locate your survey and update  your email address, please message us through  Kickstarter with your Backer ID # found on your Kickstarter  confirmation. You can learn more about your email hiding for your Apple  ID here.

We are so excited to be able to bring these cards to you! We'll be keeping you updated every step of the way.

Thanks again for being part of this and for helping us reach our funding goals.

Keeping everyone up to date on the tarot cards
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jun 13, 2023 at 01:14:37 PM

We wanted to again thank all our wonderful backers and to keep everyone updated. We're still waiting on Kickstarter to release the funds so that we can move forward with the project. 

We also heard back from MJ about the new art since we have so many additional cards added to the deck. It will take her until the end of August to finish all the art. Once we have all the card art, we'll be placing the orders and will be able to better estimate the shipping dates for everyone. We're still hoping to have them to everyone in October, but it might be closer to Thanksgiving. MJ is doing such an amazing job on all the cards that we want her to take her time and produce the best deck ever!

While we wait on the cards, we will begin producing the t-shirts and other items for backers. All we're waiting for on that is for Kickstarter to release the funds and then we can get started on that portion of this campaign. 

We're working on finishing the surveys and hope to have those out to backers soon. We're almost to the point we can send out a smoke test. Once the smoke test clears and we know the surveys are working, we'll send them out to everyone.  

For those who had trouble with the payment on Kickstarter, you'll have another chance to pay for your pledge once the surveys go out.  

Again, thank you all for your support!
