And the ships have begun sailing!

Exciting and relieving news- we were able to wrap production up just before the Lunar New Year holiday deadline, which means your dice and MagVaults are set to make their journey across the sea!
What happens next?
The shipments are expected to arrive around mid-March. Once it lands, it will need to be received and processed before orders can begin heading out to you. If all goes smoothly, I’m calculating that last-leg shipping will begin in early–mid April, with parcels arriving shortly after depending on your location.
As we get closer, I’ll share more detailed timing updates.
🫵🤨 Have you completed your survey?
If you haven’t... the only consequence is that you don't get your order and I get free money. And I hate free money, so please do so as soon as possible for both of our sakes.
Pre-Orders Closing Soon
If you’ve told a friend, and they said "I'll grab one later!", now's the time to nudge 'em. I’ll be closing pre-orders soon so I can finalize the list for my shipping teams and we can move smoothly into fulfillment.
We’re in the home stretch now, I can’t wait to see them at your tables so soon!
From a lot of survey responses, many of you were asking about note-taking resources… not realizing that’s actually what I do- the stationery part of Sphinx Stationery.
I’ve started redesigning my journals for the 2024 Rules, incorporating years of player feedback. The new version moves to a binder-style, add/remove format, with refined layouts from more years at the table while keeping the core of what makes a Sphinx journal a Sphinx journal: wet-erase materials, minimal design, and opinionated, ADHD-friendly organization.
If it interests you, I’d love for you to follow along!
Slow and steady! A production update😊

This is a bit of a quieter update, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
Not much has changed since the last check-in, which means everything is moving along as planned. I’ve received the vast majority of surveys and have finalized production numbers with all manufacturers, and everything is now in the production phase. (If you still haven't completed your survey and need additional help, please reach out at this link!)
The main variable at the moment is the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday. I’m still aiming to have everything shipped before the holiday break, but we are cutting it a little close. Worst case, there may be a small delay if production overlaps with the holiday shutdown, and I wanted to be upfront about that.
At this stage, it’s a practice of patience while production does its thing. I really appreciate yours, and I will share updates as soon as there’s anything meaningful to report.
Thank you as always,

Locking in orders and charging cards!

Just a quick one-
I’ll be locking orders and charging cards for shipping and add ons in BackerKit! The exact flow will be a 48 Hour Lock notice to allow you to make any last minute item changes. Then a 48 Hour Card Charge notice, so you can make sure your card has funds.
If you're moving soon, you'll still be able to update your address until the Address Lock, which will be closer to when they're ready to ship.
If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, please do that ASAP!
If you’re paying over time, no worries at all! This won’t affect your pledge or your rewards in any way. Everything will continue exactly as planned on your payment schedule.
Late Pledging will also still be available!
I’m really excited to share that initial deposits have been made and production is officially underway for both the MagVault and the dice 🎉 so we're officially moving with steam now!
Wishing you a very happy holidays and a fantastic end to the year🎁

Keep the surveys coming ASAP!⏰

To the 650 of you holding out on me...
A quick but important update today, BackerKit surveys have officially been out for about a week, and I need your help to keep our production timeline on track!
Please complete your survey as soon as you can😊
To stay on schedule for manufacturing, I want to get ~MOST~ surveys in before December 15th so I know how much to order so everyone gets what they want. Your survey is where you choose your MagVault colors, pick any add-ons, and confirm your shipping details, so it’s one of the biggest steps between now and full production.
Can’t find your survey email?
Look for an email from BackerKit. You can search your inbox for:
“Sphinx Stationery” or "MagVault"
[email protected]
Sometimes BackerKit emails land in promotions or spam folders, so be sure to check there too!
Using Apple ID or an alternate Kickstarter email?
If you signed into Kickstarter with Apple ID or a different email than you normally use, the survey may have been sent to that address.
If you still can’t find it, please reach out directly to BackerKit Support they’re super fast and can re-send or update your survey email.
Paying over time?
Absolutely no worries, that's why i said I'd like most done! You will not have access to the surveys until the final payment is complete, just shoot me a message I'll have a manual tally and make sure I have enough of each color:)
Updating your shipping address
You’ll be able to update your shipping address right up until I fully lock addresses before fulfillment. So no stress if you’re moving or unsure, just make sure your survey is filled out now so I can keep production moving!
See the previous update for close up images of all of the designs!
Thank you all so much, I’m beyond excited to get these next steps underway and I can’t wait to share more updates soon! 💛
Backerkit Surveys Are Coming! 🎉

It’s finally happening! BackerKit surveys will be going out over the next few days, so keep an eye on your inbox! This is the stage where I get to collect your color choices, confirm your add-ons, and start locking everything in for production. I am so excited to take this next step with you😊
For full transparency, BackerKit sends a small Smoke Test first, about 5% of backers receive the survey to make sure everything is clear and working as intended. Once that checks out, the rest of the surveys go out making it a slightly longer process.
Below are the images of all current prototype designs. Seeing them all together has made the whole project feel real, and I can’t wait for you to check them out!
A couple of quick notes:
Pay-over-time backers: Your survey will be sent once all payments have been completed.
International backers: If you're outside Australia, New Zealand, or the U.S., you may be responsible for import duties & taxes depending on your country’s rules.
About colors: The prototype interiors appear a little darker than what we’re aiming for in the final production units. I’m still working closely with the manufacturer to get everything perfectly cohesive before mass production begins.
Thanks again for supporting this project!
