Bi-Weekly Production Update #9

Hi everyone,
Hope you're all having a good 2022 so far! I know it's been a while since you've heard from us - we took a break from writing emails over the last month to focus on production optimization, conventions, and holidays!!
As we approach our next estimated shipping date we wanted to start sending out our bi-weekly production emails to keep everyone updated on our progress. We are still on track to hit our March delivery target but if anything comes up please look to these bi-weekly emails for any updates or issues we may encounter.
Production
We are focusing on the following pledge levels targeting a March ship date:
- WAVE 2: 2 Sets of Dice
- WAVE 2: 4 Sets of Dice
- 10 Sets of Dice
- ALL 16 Sets of Dice
In the last two weeks we completed 48 new sets (average of 24 sets per week). Currently, we need to complete 19 sets per week to complete shipping in March.
Non-Kickstarter Stuff
We had a TON of fun at PAX Unplugged. We partnered with Knight Moves Cafe again to hawk our wares, and got to meet so many backers and supporters. Evan and I LOVE meeting you all - conventions are our favorite. They take a lot of work (we worked nights and weekends for two months to make extra non-kickstarter dice to sell at PAX!! *phew*) but are so very rewarding.
We love talking shop and giving advice to all the fledgling dicemakers out there, and catching up with some dice maker veterans too (lookin' at YOU Questing Tools!)! I know this is super sappy but we're really appreciative of all of you and the community we have in each other. THANKS for being great!!
We don't know the logistics yet, but we'll definitely be at PAX East 2022 - keep an eye out for more info!
Thanks,
Jules & Evan

Bi-Weekly Production Update #8
over 4 years ago

Hi everyone,
We are focusing on the following pledge levels targeting a December ship date:
- Wave 1: 2/4 Sets of Dice
- Wave 2: 1 Set of Dice
In the last two weeks we completed 20 new sets. We are now at 92 out of 139 sets completed for December (66%)
We periodically like to keep our molds fresh so we spent a good portion of time updating our 8 sets. I tend to mix up which mold goes to which set so I had a fun idea this time around. I added dye to the molds as I created them and this small tweak helps keep things much more organized.
When adding dyes to silicone we learned that any color on the blue side of the color wheel (purple, blue, green) really come out nice while anything on the red side (red, orange, yellow) are much more subtle. I have no idea why this is but it's interesting. Check it out!
