Small update, production is still going on.

🗻🔮🍃🌊🔥Production is still under way🔥🌊🍃🔮🗻
It's been a few months, so I just wanted to touch base, that we are still in the gruelingly impatient stage of needing to wait lol, as production is still going on. After all, Production did begin just before Christmas, and other holidays that happen all around the world, but when I estimated my fulfillment dates I kept that in mind so we are NOT in any way behind on schedule! Everything is going smoothly despite the holidays getting in the way Dec-January, and everything is on time. :)
This is by far my biggest kickstarter both in financial and production wise. I've only ever made pins and a plushie in the past, but this time we are doing pins, dice, and dice bags, and that sure can take a lot longer than simple enamel pins, so thank you all for being patient! We just in the lame waiting stage where we just gotten hang tight and hold onto our excitement knowing that they will arrive one day!
🔥🌊🍃🔮🗻SAMPLE PROGRESS PICTURES 🗻🔮🍃🌊🔥
Here's some progress shots the manifoctorers have been sending me! Just to show you guys what it's like to see the process that we do! :D Production is going very well for everything.
Before
No matter how much you try to follow Pantone sheets, you never know exactly how the enamel colors will come out after curing and treatments, and as you can see in the before, some colors came out too similar to each other, or too dark, or too saturated, So to get them just right, I've been working with the manufacturer until we get them just right for you guys!
After
wowowow so much better!
I don't have update photos of them all, but this is just to give you guys an idea of the process for the enamel pins!
Here's just an idea of what some of the dice look like freshly pulled from their sharp edge molds! (Not polished, not painted!)
How will the Dice be shipped?
Shipment truly can be brutal, especially the farther it has to travel. A single D20 is small and sturdy enough be safe in it's only little bag, within the double bubblesealed mailer, sure, but what about a full set? Corners to espectially thinner dice can be chipped, or damaged, like on the D4, or D8, SO let me give you guys peace of mind! I have been in contact with my dice manufactorer regarding how the full sets will be packaged, and we found this plastic pill box makes the perfect ridged, sturdy, default dice boxes in shipment! I've seen Dice shops such as Urwizard use this before, and it truly is I think the best default dice box to ship fragile expensive dice in.
Can you tell which is Faux and which is Genuine leather?!
They did such an INCREDIBLE job color matching the Faux leather to the genuine to the opint the only real distinguishable appearence between the two is maybe the texture? because obviously genuine leather won't feel the same as a plastic/cloth fake leather XD but yeah so great!!!
NOTE: they accidently gave the black bags antique brass, but DO NOT WORRY, for final production, they have been corrected to shiny silver buttons just as they were advertised on the kickstarter!
Hope the progress pics of production is nice to see! still lots to get done! I know it's hard to wait, but things are running smoothly! :D Hang in there guys! I too am very excited and can't wait for these beauties to arrive!
Money has come in - Production has begun! - Happy holidays!

Money has come in, and Production has been paid for/Started!
I hope everyone had a great time with their holidays! Weather that be Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule etc. And soon the Newyears! :D
This is just a quick little update, not a whole lot to cover, but just wanted to let you guys all know that the money has come in, is all spent, and production is paid for and either has or will start very soon! It is not all in the manufactures hands, and now we have hit the glorious but brutal segment of this kickstarter, which is... waiting hahaha. Waiting until things finish up and arrive in my house after several months.
Also, I WILL charge cards on Backerkit for anyone who got add-ons through backerkit!
I've sent a notice to everyone that cards will be charged very soon. you should have gotten an email on the heads up, so if anyone wants to adjust their add-ons, or get something more, do that soon, and cards will be charged in about a day or two. that's just from backerkit if you got anything extra not from the kickstarter. Please be sure that you cards are up to date, and/or have enough money in them to be charged, If it failed, it'll try again later. :)
Thanks guys! pretty short and sweet. Love yall! happy holidays!
SURVEYS ARE SENT OUT! CHECK UR EMAILS!- PLZ READ!
over 1 year ago
– Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 03:01:31 PM
🌊🔮🔥🗻🍃ALL SURVEYS ARE SENT OUT! 🍃🗻🔥🔮🌊
Yep! pretty fast! I have found over the years of doing kickstarter that there's no real reason to delay it, and the quicker I can get a statistic on what products you guys want the most and least, the sooner I can put in the order to begin production! :D SO, Alright guys! All surveys are sent out so I wanted to give a bit of a run down on some very important things!
🔮So please check your emails! And or your Spam! (Sometimes they end up there) The email is from BACKERKIT not kickstarter, Please fill these out! :D Not sure which email it's going to? it'll be whatever email is attached to your Kickstarter, so be sure to check That email! :> 💙 If you don't remember which email is attatched to your kickstarter account, go uder your profile settings, and you can see what email you have attached to your kickstarter incase you have forgotten. Check that email for a backerkit survey.
🌊Don't see your survey? put your email (email attached to your kickstarter) in this link here, and another survey will be sent to your email! again check your spam!
🔥Please don't ignore the survey! These aren't surveys that rate my performance like at the bottom of a Walmart receipt, NO! LOL it is me asking for what pins/dice/bags you would like, so I need you guys to fill this out so I know your order/reward will be, and your shipping address. :D 💙 filling out your survey is ESSENTIAL! otherwise I can't get you your reward.
🍃 The last day to fill out your surveys will be MARCH10th! If you do not fill out your surveys before then, your pledge will be cancelled and completely refunded in full, so don't miss it! ((more info below in FAQ of why))
Did you miss the kickstarter but you still want to support the project, or you want some of the pins/dice/bags with that sweet sweet kickstarter discount?! well, it's not too late! here's your second chance. :> All orders from the pre-order store will be filled out and shipped at the same time as kickstarter rewards, so it's as if you backed the kickstarter :>
🗻🔮🔥🍃🌊SURVEY FAQ, PLZ READ PLZ 🌊🍃🔥🔮🗻
🌊Do I have a due date to fill out my Survey?:
yes! Once surveys are sent out, I will have a cut off time 3 months from now. Anyone who does not fill out their Surveys by March 10th will automatically have their rewards cancelled and fully refunded. This is to help me as a small business/artist keep track of inventory, as fullfilling kickstarter rewards 6+ months after the campaign has ended, and long after it has all been fullfilled, messes up inventory greatly, it's more prone to mistakes because it's hard to keep track of, and the amount of income needed to buy the appropriate amount of pins for my Etsy shop and KS rewards is throne off as all product would have been finished with production months before making a new order possibly be out of stock for fulfillment...,So to keep it organized and smooth for everyone, both you guys and myself, I am implementing this. So please be sure to fill out your surveys before March 10th :D If you miss filling out your survey by March 10th you can still purchase the enamel pins here on me and my partner's Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpecAndBreb?ref=seller-platform-mcnav thank you!
🍃If I over pledged on my Kickstarter for a pin/dice/bag, where do I select it?
If you have chosen a reward tier that doesn't include an item you wanted to add-on later, and over pledged purposefully on kickstarter to 'add that item on', You can pick it at the end of the survey under the 'Add-Ons' Section. :> Once you finish filling out the questions that fit your reward tier, you will be able to use the extra funds you overfunded to get the extra stuff you want under the Add-Ons sections. Once you reach the Add-Ons section, you will see that you have "available credit". That is the over funding you submitted under kickstarter so that you may pick the Add-On you wanted ahead of time without getting charged double. :)
🔥My card was never charged.
If your charged was never charged, it most likely errored do to insufficient funds. Be sure enough money is in your account to match the reward tier and shipping you backed for the funds to go through, and kickstarter should recharge it again every day or so until it goes through :> if it doesn't let me know!
🔮I never received my survey!
Be sure to check the spam box in your email if you never received your survey, it may be hidden in there. - If you used an old email/or different email for your kickstarter started account then the email you usually use, be sure to check the email that is connected to your kickstarter account.
If you haven't received your survey after looking at the two steps above, email me at [email protected] so I can either give you the survey directly, or so I can manually get your reward shipped out to you through email discussion.
If you STILL don't get your survey, try putting the email attatched to your kickstarter account here, and another survey will be sent to your email. https://elementaldragons-pins-dice.backerkit.com/
If all else fails, then email me at [email protected] and I will help you out personally! :> (this is the best way to reach me, not Kickstarter Dms :>)
🍃Will I be able to add extra pins to my reward?
Yes, you can do that after filling out the pins that match your reward tier, you will be given the option to purchase additional pins in the add-ons section of your Backerkit Survey. There you can add as many extra pins. If you pledged even at the $1 no reward tier on kickstarter, you will still have the option to get as many add-ons with the same kickstarter discount if you like :>
🗻Will I be able to buy these pins/dice/bags at a later date outside of Backerkit/Kickstarter?
YES! Once all rewards are shipped out and I have received the product, I will be selling the pins/dice/bags individually on my Etsy around Late April/May. My Etsy can be found in the link below. There, you won't only have the option to buy the merch from this kickstarter, but also have a wide selection of me and my partner Braivety's past pins, keychains, and art prints. :>
🌊Will your old enamel pins be available under the Add-On section like in previous kickstarters?:
While normally I would, and have in past kickstarters, This time I will NOT be including past pins on the Add-On section of this survey. :C The reason for this, is because this kickstarter has WAAAYYYYYY to many different varieties of merch to chose from, and I think if I included some of my old pins I'd die haha.
But if you want any past pins, please check out me and Braivety's Etsy! :> (it's late in December so be aware things most likely will not make it for Christmas)
🔥If I buy some pins from your Etsy, can you ship them in the same package as my kickstarter reward?:
No, not this time, sorry guys. If I was willing to do that, there would be no difference in me just having past pins as add-ons through the backerkit survey haha. I cannot, again there is too much merch on this kickstarter, and holding packages and putting them aside for like 4+ months is difficult on inventory and organization, so, I'm sorry. I cannot fuse your Etsy orders with your kickstarter rewards this time. :C
🔮What if my reward never arrives?
All rewards will be shipped in March 2023 at the absolute latest. (unless any delays occur, in which an update would be posted) If you are National to the USA, your reward should arrive late May at the latest. If you are an International backer, your reward will arrive July/August at the latest because it can take 4 months to get to you. If you do not receive your reward within your respected time frames, please email me at [email protected] with what your reward was and what you wanted and I will ship them out to you for free. :)
🔥What if my reward arrives damaged? Or missing any pins? or I got the wrong pins?
If you reward arrives damaged or missing any pins, or got the wrong pin than requested, please send me an email at [email protected] showing photos of your damaged reward/missing pins, and I will ship you what is it that is damaged or missing for free.💙
🗻🔮🍃🌊🔥🗻🔮🍃🌊🔥
THANK YOU GUYS! have any other questions? feel free to ask in the comments, ks DMs or email me at [email protected] :>
We finished! WOW 41k - SURVEY INFO!!!
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Dec 07, 2022 at 08:23:06 AM
🔥🗻🍃🔮🌊ALL FINISHED! And a 41K?! that's a HUGE new record for my kickstarters! hfjrhfk;er🍃🗻🔥🔮🌊
Dang guys! 41k... that's insane. turns out we kinda hit the original stretch goals anyways hahaha!!! And with, less than 500 backers?! with a 100 less?! That's actually wild. you can tell this is my first dice kickstarter because I never would have expected such a massive number and it still be less backers than I've ever gotten, so like WOWZA!
Thank you seriously everyone for supporting my kickstarter and finding my art product worth wanting and believing in. It really means a lot!
So what now? Surveys will be out in about 3-7 days!
for surveys, I will be going through Backerkit, and not kickstarter. So be on the lookout for Backerkit in your emails! not Kickstarter surveys. However, please note that the surveys will be sent to whatever email is ATTATCHED TO YOUR KICKSTARTER ACCOUNT! so if you have multiple emails, be sure you're looking in your email that is on your kickstarter profile. if you don't know what that is, go under your profile settings and you can see it incase you forgot. And while you're there, be sure to make sure that your email notifications for kickstarter is on, every now and then I get a small handful of people think I don't send reminder emails, and that's not true, I do with every kickstarter update, and I really don't want anyone to miss out just because they didn't realize their notification settings were off lol 💙
For anyone new, this Survey isn't a "tell us how we did survey" like on the bottom of a receipt at Walmart, lol, this is a series of questions that tells me your Pin/Dice ORDER! It is ESSENTIAL that you fill this out when you get it, otherwise there's no way for me to know what you want/picked out, nor will I have an address to ship it to your door. So be on the look out for this! i'll make another update about the surveys with lots more information, including an faq once surveys are out. :> Thank you guys!
Regarding Add-Ons through the backerkit survey
So Three things.
Add-ons that you got by adding additional funds to your kickstarter pledge:
If you selected a reward, and added additional/extra funds to your reward, for example $50 for a set of extra dice that wasn't originally included on your reward tier, you will pick out your 'kickstarter add-on' that you 'added on' with additional funds, at the End of the backerkit survey under the "add-on section". Yes this is the same menu you'd purchase add-ons even if you didn't add extra funds to your reward on kickstarter. This is normal ^_^ The reason it works, is because the additional funds you put on your kickstarter reward carries over, kinda like credits, so instead of needing to pay that $50 through the backerkit survey, you already paid ahead of time through kickstarter, so you can select it without any fear of being charged twice. 💙 So once you answer the questions regarding your specific reward tier, you'll go to the add-on section where you get to pick that dice set that you paid on kickstarter for $50 with no additional charge. 👍
Can I purchase add-ons directly through the backerkit survey. (did NOT pay additional funds on Kickstarter reward tier):
YES! Absolutely! The add-on section isn't just for people that put additional funds on their pledges on kickstarter, it is for people that also just want to get extra stuff and pay for the extra merch through the survey and not through kickstarter. You could have technically pledged $1 on kickstarter, and then buy all the pins and dice available under the Add-On section of the backerkit survey :> SO you are not limited in any way. If you want more, you can get as much as you want!
Will your old enamel pins be available under the Add-On section like in previous kickstarters?:
While normally I would, and have in past kickstarters, This time I will NOT be including past pins on the Add-On section of this survey. :C The reason for this, is because this kickstarter has WAAAYYYYYY to many different varieties of merch to chose from, and I think if I included some of my old pins I'd die haha.
BUT! If anyone would like to order any of my past enamel pins, or pins from my partner Braivety, Our Etsy shop runs all year long, and everything that is in stock is available here. Infact we have a christmas sale going on with only like 40 hours left, so yeah! big 20% off too cuz holidays!
If I buy some pins from your Etsy, can you ship them in the same package as my kickstarter reward?:
No, not this time, sorry guys. If I was willing to do that, there would be no difference in me just having past pins as add-ons through the backerkit survey haha. I cannot, again there is too much merch on this kickstarter, and holding packages and putting them aside for like 4+ months is difficult on inventory and organization, so, I'm sorry. I cannot fuse your Etsy orders with your kickstarter rewards this time. :C
And that's all guys for now! again, more info with surveys will be made in the next kickstarter update! Thank you!!!
LAST DAY! - more showcase on Leather bags!

– Sun, Dec 04, 2022 at 06:37:48 PM
OH BOY GUYS!!! ONLY 27 HOURS LEFT AND THAT'S JUST OMEGA CRAZY!!! EVERYTHING IS UNLOCKED WOO!
🔮🍃All the pins, All the Dice, All the bags! wow!🗻🌊🔥
Seriously, thank you all for backing and supporting this project! Any likes or shares has been a big help, and the first and the last day are the biggest in growth, and boy has that proven itself with how today has went! Thank you all so much! :D and with aright at 350ish backers, and 35k, we've far cleared the reduced numbers, and with another day to go, we are flying by!
for anyone wondering, the Nightshade Dragon (and a new friend barley peeking in from the left) is coming back with some upgrades, been working on plushies on my own outside of kickstarter for about 6 months, and they aren't quite ready yet, but they are coming! (Sadly only available through Etsy exclusive to the US because toy laws in other countries terrify me! Sorry international friends ;3; <3)
Not a reward that has everything you want? please refer to this Add-On update here!
🔥🌊🗻🍃🔮Add-On chart:
Please add the appropriate funds to your pledge if you want any of these additional items for your reward. This will not effect your shipping. There is no limit to these, so if you want to get multiple of one thing or mix-match to get a bunch of things, just multiply it to the number below (example: if you want to add on three mini pins, add $15 to your pledge. If you want to get an additional Dice set and mini pin, please add $55 to your pledge)
Some of yall have been wanting more of a look at the Dice bags, so here's some photos I took today! Sorry I kinda glossed over it a little bit, was so focused on the enamel pins and the dice I guess heh heh.
Dice bags can hold up to 3 sets of dice!
This photo is great because idk how I got the lighting to cooporate so well, but it shows the colors really well without my camera making them look more yellow or something. So this photo is great to see all the color differences, such as how the soft leather of the left two are different browns. More is a warm brown, where the other is more a woodish brown.
Both brown bags, (black and brown, and Redish brown and tanish brown) have antique brass for it's buttons.
The black bag, and the White and Grey bag, as shiny polished silver buttons :>
all the screen printing on the inside of the bag are back, escept the black bag has white because well, obvious reasons haha.
The screen printing does have a bit of a sheen to it when the light hits it, so it's not matte, but a shiny print. Kinda glossy.
Photos of Dice with bags! So those who want to coordinate dice colors to dice bags can get a better idea of them all next to each other! :D
All the bags in these photos are Genuine leather, but I will have faux available for the Kickstarter rewards as promised, just note that the colors might be slightly different for Faux, but generally will be aimed to be the same.
Here you can see the colors of all the leathers, both the hard and soft leather, how the left two have antique tarnished brass buttons/clasps, and the right two have shiny polished silver buttons/clasps.
All the harder leather is ensured to be Thick so that the embossment is nice and deep and clear! actually went through three samples to get them just right, and this was the final sample of the product that I approved :>
Honestly I feel like all the dice look so good with any mixed matched bag hahah! I thin if I had to say my favorite combinations, I adore the purple dice with the black or even white bag! I think the Green dice look awesome with the redish-brown bag like it's a forest, but then again looks awesome with the pure black bag kinda like draconic necromancy or something as necromancy is so often green in DnD. fghjrihgke; so hard to say, I love them all together thanks to the bags all being very neutral tones to match with any color dice of your preference.
Here's a few photos of trying to coordinate some colors between all the bags, but hahah again I feel like they all look so good together, but hard to say! XD Black matches everything, brown matches everything, white also matches everything haha.
And of course, here's the video showing all the features of the bags.
🔥If we hit 15k I want to get a second set of bags in the same colors made of Faux Leather as a StretchGoal. (which is Vegan, ((but not to be mistaken with "orange Vegan Leather")) for anyone not into Genuine Leather💙)
🔥 Drawstring clamp, with metal button to close and tighten
🔥Bags open into a Dice tray!
🔥Can hold up to 1-3 dice sets!
🔥Embossment Stamp in front of the bag of Winged Serpent Dragon (seen on D6)
🔥Screen Printing inside of Bag of the same Winged Serpent Dragon Design.
🔥Great to tie on belts/bags/pants etc. It's adorable for cosplay, larping, or your ren fair costume you wear once a year!
🔥 Can pin an Enamel Pin in the leather! (because it's real leather it may take some force lol)
