Mall Kids 2023 Project Launch
about 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 06, 2023 at 03:43:26 PM

Hey there sphere hoppers! I wanted to make a quick posts here to alert you to a Mall Kids expansion zine that is currently funding here on Kickstarter. This is nothing like Articles of the Arcana, except to say that it is a fun game that I wrote. If you're interested in seeing what else I can do, especially if you're a fan of 90's nostalgia, teen issues, and hijinks, this is your moment.

We have digital and zine rewards as always, as well as bundles for folks who missed out on zines before and want to get the whole collection. We are also offering art commissions again, as well as guided game group experiences for new gamers looking to learn the ropes.

You can check out the project right now, pledge 'em if you got 'em, and thanks as always for your support!

Shipping Complete (again...)

Hello backers! I am here again to tell you that all the rewards have been dropped off at the post office here in Lakewood. I made sure to have the manager look at my new labels and validate them for me, so there shouldn't be any more surprises. If you were included in this debacle, you should be getting NEW tracking info. You'll know the difference because the old one will show as delivered/returned to sender. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me here on Kickstarter and I can look up the status/info of your rewards. 

If you or anyone you know missed out on a deck and want to order one, they are now available for print-on-demand purchase through The Game Crafter. 

Thanks again for all your support and patience!

The Great Shipping Debacle
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 03:37:49 AM

Hey everyone! So my talk with the USPS manager today was... not great. I made a mistake on my shipping order, the guy at the office was a jerk about it, I brought ~80 packages home and pouted. 

Then I got in touch with Pirate Ship, the company I used to buy the postage. They SERIOUSLY hooked me up with a refund on my old labels, so at least I wasn't out that money. The labels still ended up being more expensive than I expected, but I'm calling it a "win", all things considered. So, here's the important info:

  • International orders and they are now back to "In Transit". You should be able to check your existing tracking numbers for this. 
  • US orders have new labels printed and I will do my best to get them re-labeled and back to the post office this weekend. You will receive new tracking info when they are accepted. 
  • Some orders (including tarot decks only and orders with multiple rewards) were shipped separately, and many are already showing as "Arrived" on my end. If you have already gotten your rewards, PLEASE comment below and let me know so I can stop being paranoid something else has gone wrong. 

For that matter, tag me on Twitter and show off your new books and cards. After all this shipping nightmare, I could use some feel-goods. Thanks for sticking with me; we're almost done! Thanks! 

Insufficient Shipping

The latest batch of backer rewards is being held at the post office because I didn't pay enough postage. I think there may have been some kind of issue with the third-party service I used to buy the labels, but I'm not super interested in pointing fingers at the moment. I will be heading to the post office on Friday to settle up with them so your packages can be released into the wild. So, that's all for now. All your tracking info should still be valid. I'll post an update on Friday to let you all know what to expect. Thanks! 

Shipping Issue

Hey folks! Many of you are seeing “Return to Sender” on your tracking. This is true for the ENTIRE recent batch of 80 or so packages. I don’t have any additional info for you at this time. I will have to wait to get them back to find out more. Please feel free to reach out to USPS customer service on your own if you’d like. I will update when I know more. Thank you for your patience.
