Getting roleplay games to print is expensive. And I (Jam) wanted to include extra reward goodies for those able to support us in that big money way. We needed to decide on something lightweight that wouldn't hurt shipping costs, it had to be special, cool af, or at the very least could make for a nice gift to give to someone else.

I decided on art prints! Not just any art prints, but something I learned a new skill for: carving and stamping with lino-blocks. The Gazing Moon print was re-carved three times ๐Ÿ˜… but the Shifting Folk design went well on the first try. After stamping and stamping and stamping, I picked my favorite outcomes, scanned them, then arranged and colored them digitally. Much more carvings and stamp making happened that week - I am hooked!!

I'd really, *really* love to send off inky-fresh originals to every backer, but I had to take a step back because I had to be reasonable, haha (on top all the fulfillment packing I'll be doing - it would get overwhelming ๐Ÿ˜…)

I am committed to hand signing and numbering them though. These are still special. ๐Ÿ’šPrinted once and then never again. To make them a little more special, we polled our discord community and had them decide on the final colors for each print. I'm glad we're able to slip in these goodies for y'all, a lot of love went into them.

For the first 48 hours of the Little Wolves campaign starting May 14th, anyone who backs at a physical reward tier will get a free signed & numbered Shifting Folk mini art print:

For anyone who picks up the Limited Edition hardback reward tier, they get a free signed & numbered Gazing Moon art print:

And, for anyone who gets the big Enchanted Bundle (it comes with all the add-ons w/discount), they will get both prints regardless of when they pledge.

Thanks for all the support y'all. Even if it's not the financial kind, every little bit of ๐ŸŽ‰ goes a long way for small creative businesses. ๐Ÿ’–
