Production Update: Rewards Are Starting to Arrive!
13 days 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
about 2 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!

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!
about 2 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.

Thank you again to each one of the 91 amazing people that helped us get here. You ROCK!

Aetas Draconis is Over 95% Funded!
2 months ago – Thu, May 21, 2026 at 10:00:10 AM



Aetas Draconis is now over 95% funded with only 7 days left! 

We are so incredibly close to bringing this project to life, and I can’t thank everyone enough for all the support so far.

At this stage, sharing really makes a huge difference. If you know any dragon lovers, fantasy fans, tabletop gamers, or playing card collectors, please help spread the word. Share, share, share!

And some exciting news: if we fully fund the campaign, I will be upgrading the deck to include the first stretch goal automatically, meaning the deck will feature two different illustrated Joker cards.

Let’s get these dragons funded together.
