And they turned out great!

I just wanted to share a quick update with some photos. Shipping on orders with card decks will begin tomorrow! 

I'm so happy with them! They FEEL like playing cards should!
The colors are just what I wanted!

Thank you again! I can't wait for you to get your loot!

A super-quick update: the card decks are on their way!
7 months ago – Fri, Sep 29, 2023 at 01:23:06 PM

Woohoo!

Yesterday, during my Twitch livestream, I got the news that the card decks have shipped! And I received a tracking number! Currently, it looks like I'll get them Monday!

ETA as of this update

There was no explanation from the manufacturer why the delivery was so much later than expected but I now just hope the cards look great! :) I can't wait to see them! 

Thank you again for your patience! Look for another update on Monday with photos!

Have a great weekend!

Shipping update, still waiting on the card decks, and an Meta Domain sneak peek...

A quick update!

As of this note, all pledges - except those which include the Death Dealing card deck - have now shipped!

Everything else is ready to go, but I'm still just waiting on the card decks from the manufacturer. It's taking much longer than I expected to get the decks and I really appreciate your patience. I can't wait to see them and I hope you'll love them!

When I get tracking info from the manufacturer, I'll post another update. And when the decks arrive, I'll share photos!  

A Meta Domain sneak peek...

While I wait for the card decks, the work on my next 5E book is going great. Here's a work-in-progress preview of the 3D sculpt. I'm sculpting this using the Nomad app on an iPad Pro...

The Meta Domain campaign won't launch until the Death Dealing rewards have shipped! Fulfilling this campaign's rewards comes first!

*GASP* My first gaming convention is less than a month away!

I'll be an exhibiting artist at Gamehole Con in Madison, Wisconsin, next month. This will be my frst time exhibiting at a gaming convention and I'm so excited! Heck, Jeff Easley (artist of some of my favorite fantasy paintings especially that classic Unearthed Arcana cover) is one of the other exhibiting artists! How amazing is that?


Thank you again for your amazing support! I hope to have good news about the card decks soon!

The Death Dealing zines and deluxe hardcovers arrived and they look amazing!

I'm so happy with them and hope you will be to!

And they perfectly match Intoximancy!

We're now just waiting on the decks of cards. I hope to have good news to share from the manufacturer soon! 

Big thanks to everyone who signed up to be notified when my next Kickstarter launches later this month!  This one is going to be a lot of fun! :)

This next project will introduce the Meta Domain Cleric subclass. I'm really excited to share more as the page comes together. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steveconley/meta-domain

Again, the new campaign won't launch until your Death Dealing goodies have shipped! That's super important to me!

And yes, I'm in Florida but my part of the Atlantic coast was spared any disruption from the storms. Thanks to everyone who reached out. <3

Thank you again for your amazing support!

Production and delivery update! And a Cleric subclass!
9 months ago – Wed, Aug 16, 2023 at 12:43:09 PM

Hello, Rogues! Everything is in production and we're just waiting for shipments from the manufacturers. Almost all the digital goodies have been shipped so if you haven't received something, please reach out to me.

I've received the stickers and mini kits (they look GREAT!) and we're now just waiting on the zines, hardcovers, and decks of cards. I expect shipping to begin by the end of this month and I should be able to hand-deliver some rewards in-person at the Baltimore Comic-Con in September.

Here's some updated art to share...

Starting with mockups of the final Zine and Hardcover covers. An early version showed a red, fiery sky but that didn't really fit the world of shadowy rogues. These night-time, dusky colors look great and the Spot UV varnish on the zines should look amazing. Subtle and shadowy is the way to go... 

A mockup of how the spot UV should be applied on the zine.

And here are the inside-covers of the zine. The inside back cover shows some of the tarot-themed designs from an early iteration of the Death Dealing deck...

And what's next? The Meta Domain cleric...

Let me start by saying that the next campaign won't begin until your Death Dealing loot has shipped! That's super important to me. While we're waiting for the books and cards to arrive from the printers, Kickstarter has approved the "Coming Soon" page for my next 5E project which you can find at this handy URL... prayershandbook.com

I'll share all sort of details about that new subclass as the launch gets closer. I'm super excited for it!

Visit that link and click the "Notify Me on Launch"to get an alert when that campaign starts - ETA: late September.

I expect the next update from me will include the Death Dealing character sheets!

Thank you again for yoru amazing support!
