Aetas Draconis Production Update
21 days ago – Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 08:34:38 PM

Hi everyone!

Here’s a production update on Aetas Draconis: the art prints and sticker sheets are officially finished, which means those pieces are ready and waiting for the decks to join them. And speaking of the decks, we have another big milestone: the cards have shipped! They’re currently on their way to us, with an estimated arrival in mid to late September.

Our original campaign timeline had fulfillment beginning in August, but with the decks now expected in September, we’re adjusting that timeline. Once the cards arrive, we’ll need some time to inspect everything, organize all of the campaign items, and prepare your rewards for shipping. We’re currently expecting fulfillment to take place sometime in October.

In preparation for fulfillment, we’ll also be charging cards and locking addresses in September. We’ll send out a reminder before that happens so you have a chance to double-check your payment information and make any necessary updates to your shipping address.

We know that’s a little later than originally planned, and we really appreciate your patience as everything makes its way to us. The good news is that production is wrapping up, the decks are officially in transit, and we’re getting very close to having all the pieces of Aetas Draconis together!

We’ll share another update once the decks arrive and we can begin getting everything ready for fulfillment. Thank you so much for your continued support and for helping bring Aetas Draconis to life!

Production Update: Rewards Are Starting to Arrive!
about 2 months ago – Mon, Jul 13, 2026 at 03:20:23 PM

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a quick production update as more pieces of Aetas Draconis continue to arrive. Several of the rewards have now been delivered, including:


It's always exciting to finally see these items in person after spending so much time designing and preparing them, and everything is looking great so far!

We're still waiting on a few key components before we can begin fulfillment:
  • Playing cards
  • Art prints
  • Sticker sheets

Once those arrive, I'll be able to assemble rewards, perform final quality checks, and start getting everything packed up and shipped to you.

Thank you all for your continued patience and support throughout this process. Until then, thank you for helping make this project possible!

Production Update: Improving the Standard Edition Decks
3 months ago – Wed, Jun 10, 2026 at 09:19:23 AM



I wanted to share a quick update on the Standard Edition decks.

As part of the final production review, I revisited the physical samples and compared how both editions handled during gameplay. One thing I noticed was that the Deluxe Edition decks shuffled more smoothly than the Standard Edition decks.

After discussing this with the manufacturer, we determined that the difference comes from the finish used on the cards. The Standard Edition decks were originally set up with gloss lamination, while the Deluxe Edition decks use gloss varnish.

To improve the feel and playability of the Standard Edition decks, I've decided to switch them to gloss varnish as well. This should provide a smoother shuffle experience while maintaining the look and quality of the artwork.

Production is now moving forward, and I've also requested a final quality-control sample before the full order leaves the factory so I can give everything one last inspection.

Thank you all for your support. It's exciting to finally see Aetas Draconis move into production!

Surveys are coming!
3 months ago – Sun, Jun 07, 2026 at 11:38:40 AM

Exciting News! Survey smoke test just went out and soon everyone will receive an email from us with a link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

Important reminders:

✔️ We currently have 8 failed pledges in BackerKit. If your payment did not go through, please log in to update your payment method so your rewards can be secured and prepared for fulfillment.

✔️ Double-check your shipping address. Addresses will lock shortly after the deadline.

✔️ Check your credit card info. Cards will be charged for shipping and any add-ons you’ve selected. Please make sure your information is up to date to avoid any delays!

We are super excited to move on to the next step of this process! Thank you all for your support!

Thank you, that's a wrap for Aetas Draconis!
3 months ago – Fri, May 29, 2026 at 02:57:03 PM



That's a wrap for Aetas Draconis! I’m deeply grateful for everyone who joined this campaign. Whether you pledged on day one or jumped in at the last minute, your support helped bring this collection to life.

What happens next:
  • BackerKit will begin collecting payments over the next few days. If you need to update your payment method, now’s the time to do it to avoid any delays.
  • In about two weeks, you’ll receive a survey to confirm your shipping address and make your reward selections. Keep an eye on your inbox for that email.

I’ll continue sharing updates as we move through surveys, production, and fulfillment.

And if you’ve enjoyed this campaign, I’d love for you to join me for what’s next: Guardians of the Cosmos: Guilded Fables. Inspired by historic stained glass storytelling, this series of hard enamel pins recreates the glow of stained glass. Each piece captures a Guardian’s myth in luminous color and gilded detail, rooted in the magical girl genre like Sailor Moon.
