We currently don't have shipping prices entered for physical rewards in BackerKit. We plan to wait until closer to fulfillment to enter & charge you for physical items purchased on the pre-order store to get the most accurate/fair fulfillment prices. We will update backers after entering those shipping prices & before we charge you in BackerKit.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Thank You! Surveys Incoming
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 12, 2021 at 04:58:47 PM

Hi everyone! 


I just wanted to say thank you all for such an incredibly successful campaign! I'm so excited as everything gets going - it's still sinking in that 3095 of you decided to support this project... I am simply blown away! 


I'm just sorting out some technicalities with the surveys - they will be out within a week at the latest (hopefully even sooner). I'll also post a more thorough update when those go out, but in the meantime I just wanted to let you know that I am busy busy on this end getting everything ready for you! 


Thank you for your patience. 

Everything so far is on schedule for the February deliveries :)


Pre-Orders will open up around the same time as the surveys get sent out - more info on that later. 


Anyways, thanks again, have a lovey day! 


Much Love,

Luna

Tarot Pouch UNLOCKED, Uncut Sheets, & More!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 08:37:48 PM

Hello everyone - it's the final stretch and I have a few announcements for you today! 


First off - YAY! We have UNLOCKED the $180K Stretch Goal... so every tarot deck you have pledged for will come with a FREE velvet pouch! The pouch will be big enough to fit the tarot cards, guidebook, and a couple crystals if you'd like. It's also available as an add-on if you would like extras!

Okay announcement number two; I will be going LIVE with DeckinAround (the stream will be on YouTube, Facebook & Twitch) on Sunday November 7th at 2pm EST. 


I have released UNCUT SHEETS of the Playing Cards today! These will be limited to this campaign and be hand signed. They are available as a reward tier or an add-on. 


I had a few people reach out about wanting both 10 playing card decks and 10 tarot decks. Since it became a common enough request, I have now added an extra reward tier with both (price works out to be the same). 


The next stretch goal is at $200K - I'll design an entirely new card unique to this tarot deck if we reach that stretch goal! I'll reveal the name of the card now... the YOUniverse


I think that's it for today! We are literally SO CLOSE! Keep sharing the campaign if you feel inspired to do so! 


Have a magical day everyone! 

Some of you wanted a NO COLOUR Playing Card deck - This is the Update on that
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 02:07:30 AM

Hello! 


I want to address the people who have asked about the possibility of a Playing Card deck without the coloured courts... Thank you for your patience as I tried shuffling a bunch of things around to make it work, but long story short - without a guarantee of at least 300 no colour decks sold - I cannot promise it's production at this time. 


I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how it might be possible to get a survey on numbers before the campaign ends, but I have now realized that is not possible (Thanks again for your patience with me as I navigate my first Kickstarter and learn what is and isn't possible via this platform). And without this information ahead of time it just isn't possible right now. 


What I will do is gather information on people's interest on this variation AFTER this campaign ends so I can get some clearer numbers. IF there is enough interest - I will print, out of pocket, a separate limited edition variation with no colour - in holographic edition ONLY. It would be available in my shop once they have been produced. This will be entirely separate from this Kickstarter campaign. 


I want to stress one last time that there is no guarantee of it's production. This is the best solution I could come up with that didn't overcomplicate things too much for both me and the backers that are not interested in this variation. 


If you have any further questions, leave them in the comments or message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. 


Thanks for your understanding! I really tried for you all and I'm sorry I couldn't make it happen. 

Pocket Playing Cards UNLOCKED!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Nov 04, 2021 at 07:41:22 PM

By popular demand I had added a miniature version of the Playing Cards deck as a stretch goal... and we have reached the goal and UNLOCKED it!


Pocket Playing Cards are now available as a reward tier and as an add-on! 


These cards will measure 1.6" x 2.5" and have holographic details on the fronts and backs. They will be gilded holographic (the edges of the cards). The tuck box, of course, will also have holographic stamping.


I don't have any mock-ups made yet - but they will be the exact same design as the original deck... just tiny! 


The mini cards will NOT be printed by Legends PCC, they will be going through my tarot manufacturer, just so that you are aware. I just will not be ordering enough of these for the minimum quantities required by Legends PCC. 


Also - as some of you may have noticed - the $180K Stretch Goal has been revealed. If we reach this goal, every tarot deck will come with a FREE velvet pouch for the cards. The pouches will be black with the Octopus Tarot logo in white on the front of the pouch - I will try to get some mock-ups made for you as soon as I can! 


That is all I have for you for today! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Coloured Jokers + New Stretch Goals + MORE
over 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 02, 2021 at 11:40:56 PM

Hi everyone, 

I have a few announcements for you guys today! 


First off, coloured jokers are ready! 

The next few stretch goals are up; 


$160K - LOCKED - POCKET PLAYING CARDS; A miniature version for travel of the playing cards deck will become available as an add-on. 

(Please note the pocket version of the deck will be printed by my tarot printers, not LPCC. The reason for this is this is just a fun item and I want to keep the price point more accessible)


$180K - LOCKED - ???; To be announced


$200K - LOCKED - ADDITIONAL TAROT CARD; I will draw an additional card for the tarot deck - unique to this deck.


ALSO;

I had a few people ask about having the guidebook available as an add-on to go with the Pocket Tarot. These are now available. They are the same size as the book that goes with the original deck as making them smaller would make it difficult to read. 


Okay last thing... I'm making some of the Archival prints available in colour! The black and white versions are STILL available, but in addition to those, these extra coloured ones will also be an option. 

Here are the ones that will be available in colour;

You'll be able to select your print(s) at the end of the campaign. :) For now if you'd like to add one to your pledge - just add an archival print - these will also all be hand-signed!


Anyways - this is what I have for you for today! 

Happy Halloween!
