Late Pledging Available and Other FYIs

I took a few days to breathe and reset, and have been doing some things in the background, but now, I’m back and diving into the next steps!
Late Pledging Now Open
For anyone who missed the Kickstarter, late pledging is now live through BackerKit at a slightly higher price than you, in the main Kickstarter cohort, received. We only gather the pledge information and then payments for these will be collected once pledge surveys go out.
Final Prototypes in Progress
I’ve already fronted the cost for the final prototype round of all the colorways and designs. My goal is to have photos ready before surveys go out, so you can visualize exactly what you’re selecting.
No worries if you change your mind, you’ll be able to change your selections anytime up until production begins. I’ll make sure everyone gets a clear look before anything is locked in.
Pledge Surveys & Add-Ons
Speaking of, I’m currently building the pledge surveys and add-on options in the background. You can expect surveys to roll out within the next few weeks, that’s when you’ll choose your vault and dice colors and add any extras you’d like.
Right now, I’m just waiting for the campaign funds to clear from Kickstarter and colorways to be finalized before those can officially be sent.
What’s Next
The next update will come when the final prototypes are ready and surveys are released. I can’t wait to show you how everything’s shaping up!
Thanks again for your support😊 it continues to blows my mind what we’ve built together.
That's a wrap, folks!

TLDR: Thank you! Next step is pledge management which I am putting together now. Hoping to get surveys for your color choices out in the next 2-3 weeks after I get a run of production samples of all of the colors. I'll be keeping you all updated here with milestones we reach in production😊
Thank you!!!!
I can’t thank you enough for making this project such a huge success. I’m beyond grateful to have found so many likeminded nerds who truly understand the care and thought that went into it. Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined the TTRPG community would rally behind it like this- I shouldn't have ever doubted! 🥹
But now, it's time to get to work!
What Happens Next
Kickstarter is currently processing the funds, which usually takes at least two weeks (but can take up to 28 days) to get to me.
While we're waiting on that, I'll be trying to front the money for the pre-production deposit so I can get production samples of all of the colors before you guys choose your color choices during the pledge management survey I send out. In the mean time, I'll be working on putting that together and hopefully get it sent out within in the 2-3 weeks! You guys will complete it to:
- Choose your MagVault color(s) and any other custom options tied to your pledge.
- Have the chance to add on extra items if you missed something during the campaign.
You will be able to change colors and manage your pledge through Backerkit until I lock and finalize it, closer to when I'm getting ready to ship to you.
⚠️ Important: I have not collected shipping costs yet. This will be added during the BackerKit survey step so that everything’s accurate based on your region and any extras you pick up.
⚠️ Important: For places outside of the Australia and the United States, you are responsible for import duties and taxes.
Ongoing Updates
I’ll be keeping you fully in the loop throughout production, shipping, and fulfillment. Expect regular updates here and via email as prototypes move into manufacturing and the vaults begin their journey to you.
Once again, thank you for believing in MagVault and in me! I can’t wait to get these in your hands soon.

We're in the final few days of this campaign and I can’t believe we’ve hit the AU$200k mark, absolutely unreal! Your support for this project (and for me!) has completely blown me away🥹
🎲 Dice Update
In my last post, I asked what you all thought about adding more dice options and the overall response was pretty lukewarm, which is totally fine! I’ve decided to keep the current dice lineup as is and focus my energy on making everything else perfect.
✨ Adjusted Celestial Design
I’ve also made a small update to the Celestial design based on feedback from a few of you who preferred it without the zodiac symbols. Here’s the finalized version, I think it's pretty clean now!
💬 Keep the Convo Going
I hope you can see that your comments and ideas genuinely shape how this project grows and that I actually listen and respond to it. So please keep chatting with me in the comments to build these things with me. I read every single one and even if I can't implement all of your suggestions, I appreciate your time to give thoughtful input!
🗺️ A Cool Project I Backed
I wanted to share something you might love too: it’s an eco-friendly, reusable battlemap that’s slightly transparent and works with both wet and dry-erase markers (and if you’ve seen my journals, you know I’m a sucker for a good wet-erase moment). I've backed them myself so check them out if you want!
New Designs and New Dice Colors? Let me know!

Do we want more dice colors?
Before we get to the other good stuff, what do you think about these extra colors? Nobody’s been shouting for more options, but I was playing around with the idea anyway. If it’s overkill, totally say so because that's what Kickstarter's all about!

"Finalized" Designs
Anddddd, I’ve just finished the designs for the new colorways! They may get a few last-minute tweaks, but I’m really pleased with where they’ve landed. Can’t wait to hear what you think.
New designs coming along and colors UNLOCKED!

You all realllllly don’t care about my sleep health, huh?🤨
We’ve officially unlocked Blush and it's floral rose design and we’re basically there to unlock Celtic too!
I originally wanted to wait until every design was finalized before sharing anything, but that’s taking a bit longer than planned. So here's a sneak peek of the flat Gothic design! It’s mostly finished, a few touch-ups here and there, but it’s already looking how I envisioned it.
The Celestial and Rose designs are next up. I’ve already completed my Procreate sketches for both, and now I just have to polish it up in Illustrator.
I'm hoping this weekend I will be able to showcase all of the designs in their final form and I can’t wait to share them with you all!
You’re making this project grow faster than I can keep up with, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
