Latest Updates from Our Project:

March Update
1 day ago – Tue, Mar 26, 2024 at 05:29:02 PM

Hello All! We’re back with our March update. This month hasn’t been as productive as we would like to be, but progress continues on the delivery. I’ll share the new information I have and a few photos of our work in progress!

Fulfillment Update

We have missed our goal to deliver all the Celestial Hero orders by the 18th, we’re actually closer to 50%. The hectic nature of birthdays and spring break disrupted our routine and we only accomplished about half of what we intended. I know you all understand that it’s just me, Daniel, picking and packing all of these orders. It was not a productive month, but a fresh box of packaging is on it’s way and I expect to have a better April.

Emails and Photos

We want to reiterate, if you have emailed anyone here at Ink and Lyre with an address change, we have updated that for you on our records. Until your order ships, you can still update with me here at [email protected]

There have been a few requests to see some of our work in progress and we’re happy to include it here! Lauren was kind enough to snap these for us today! Have a look at what we’re doing and we’ll be back on April 30th.

Thanks!

February Update
about 1 month ago – Sat, Feb 24, 2024 at 08:00:41 AM

Hello All! We're here with your February update for SGTA delivery. In short, progress is being made as expected. Here's what I have for you.

Weaver of Fate

The final batch of Weaver of Fate orders are on the way. There was a small miscalculation on the number GM screens we would need to complete these orders and backers who were effected have been contacted.

Celestial Hero and Aspiring Hero

Work on the Celestial Hero tier is now on in full force. We expect to deliver the remainder of our Nine Realms tiers by March 18th. We've also made the choice to go ahead shipping Aspiring Hero packages as we can. Our goal is to deliver approximately 20% of Aspiring Hero orders by the same date.

Home Stretch

We were very blessed to work with an awesome group of artists and creators while developing SGTA and I am always impressed with the quality of these custom add ons when packing your orders. However, I will say that I won't miss the tedious nature picking and packing these products. We hope that as the orders gain more uniformity the delivery speed of the orders will increase as well. As always, thank you all for your support. 

Thanks!

January Update
2 months ago – Fri, Jan 26, 2024 at 09:19:13 AM

Hello all! We’re back on track, settled into our new space, and excited to share our progress with you now. Here’s your January update on the fulfillment for Stargazer’s.

Fulfillment

Work continues on the Celestial Hero and Weaver of Fate tiers. We anticipate 100% completion of both of these tiers by February 5th. We will then begin on Mystic Oracle and Aspiring Hero tiers. We aren’t committing to completion percentages for either of these tiers by next update, but are hoping to speed up our volume with the book only orders.

Address Updates and Emails

Many of you have reached out to change your shipping address or confirm that it has been updated. I can confirm that we have received and updated these requests for your order if you have submitted that request to any of the following email addresses:

[email protected]

[email protected]

[email protected]

If you have submitted an address update through our website or other means, it is possible that we have missed the address change request. To ensure that your package arrives at the correct location, please submit your address change request to Lauren at the email above.

Next Update

We’ll be back on February 23rd with your next update. As always, thank you for all your support on this project.

December Update
3 months ago – Fri, Dec 22, 2023 at 10:26:21 AM

Hello all! We hope you’re all enjoying your holiday and are staying warm as the weather gets colder. These updates, like our Kickstarter journey, have had their ups and down and today’s update, unfortunately, isn’t appropriately cheerie for this season. However, we always want to keep you in the loop, whether it’s good or bad news.

An Unexpected Relocation

Over the past 30 days, Lauren and I (who are doing the entirety of the fulfillment) were forced into a move again. Due to the immediate nature of the work that had to be done to pack, move, and prepare our new home, virtually no progress has been made on the shipping since the last update. We expect to get back on track after Christmas and continue to ship your packages.

Communication and Email

We’ll be back on January 26th with your next update. I also want everyone to know that we are receiving your emails and other communication and I will responding to all of them over the next week or so.

Thanks!

November Update
4 months ago – Wed, Nov 22, 2023 at 12:17:22 PM

Hello all! Ink and Lyre here with your November 22nd update. We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and send best wishes as we head into the holiday season! There isn’t a lot to update you all on– other than the numbers.

The Numbers

We are on track to deliver 100% of the Weaver of Fate orders by the end of the month. We are extremely excited to deliver these particular products. The Stargazer’s DM screen is a thing of beauty and we’re so thankful to get these in your hands. We also expect to reach a 50% delivery rate on the Celestial Hero by December 1st. We are intentionally taking our time with these to ensure you all receive the correct star sign associated with your order. 

Next Update

We expect work on the Aspiring Hero tier to begin before the next update, which will be on December 15th. We hope to have better news for our delivery rates at that time.

As always, thank you all for your support and happy adventuring!
