Project ended, what happens now?
9 days ago – Mon, Oct 05, 2026 at 10:06:56 AM

Hello all!
The campaign is finished! Thank you all for helping me bring Nya'd to life! Thank you all for backing my silly little campaign <3


The pins
Nya-d has been unlocked! The mean lord cat may come to covet you now, instead of poor Ireena. 

Pre-order store-
Pre-order store link! Ireena and Ismark are here as pre-orders, just in case anyone wants to add them or do a late back.

Here is the Perspective timeline of what happens from this point!

Payment:
Cards should have been charged within the past few days. If your card is declined, please use the next two weeks to fix the info or contact your bank . After these two weeks, Backer kit will send me the funds minus the fees.

Survey time:
Backer kit recommends that we wait until 14 days past the end of the campaign. I plan to do so that timing  worked out well for my last campaign. If that changes I'll make an update the day before i start sending them out. Planned to be sent out on Thrusday October 15th, and close on November 10th. That should give around a month for surveys to be completed.  You will also be able to purchase add-ons and upgrade your pledge if you'd like. Please answer these as soon as you can, as i need them in order to be able to ship your pledge out!

Production:
Two weeks after i send out surveys, ill start production. Production time should last about a month to a month and a half. Then they will be shipped to me, which could take an additional 2 weeks in my experience. Once i get manufacturer pictures of the pins, ill be sure to make an update so everyone can see them as well.

Grading:
Once the pins arrive I will take the time to grade them into two grades-A and B grades, and package the A grades into their packaging for the campaign. A grades are ones with either no or very minor hard to find flaws. B grades are pins with noticeable flaws. This should take a few days at the most.

Shipping:
After grading and packaging, it time to ship them out!

-Possible delays-
Here are all the possible delays that could happen:

Production: could take longer than expected both to get the pins made and for the pins to arrive.

Grading: The only delay that can happen here is if there more flawed pins then pins ordered. If that happens (and it most likely will NOT, as I've worked with this manufacturer before and they've been great) I would need to fight for a remake, and then wait for the remake to arrive.

I doubt there will be any delays, but i wanted to be transparent on where in the pipeline they could occur. As with the start of a stage, i will make an announcement for any delays that happen.

Thank you again to everyone who supported my project,

Final countdown- 48 hours to go
15 days ago – Tue, Sep 29, 2026 at 11:57:36 AM

Hello everyone,
We are 48 hours out from the end of the campaign! Time for some almost the end of the campaign updates!

The pins
Nya-d has been unlocked! I will have Purrena as a pre-order in the post campaign store as we are 80% of the way to her pin, i figured it would be nice to have her as an option.

Surveys
Backer kit recommends that we wait until 14 days past the end of the campaign. I plan to do so that timing  worked out well for my last campaign. If that changes I'll make an update the day before i start sending them out.

Another Curse of strahd campaign maybe?
I'm aware I dropped the ball on having everything put together before the campaign. I am toying with the idea of creating a re-try campaign later on next year with more cohesive theming using the npc designs that didn't get funded. Or, at the very least, something else Curse of Strahd related. Maybe more true to canon designs this time. Let me know if y'all would be interested with such a thing, or no.

Next Campaign- Holiday shop
For my next campaign i will be participating in the holiday shop event starting on November 18th. This campaign is all on hand merchandise, so nothing will be being funded and made. I will try my best to get all things shipped out in time to get there by Christmas, but it is not a guarantee.  It is more a way to get bundles and discounts on things I have already made.

Here is the link for anyone who is interested

Also Us and Canada only, I am sorry about this but postal services going outside of these two countries are getting more and more expensive/complicated and I can not afford to send international as of right now.


Ok, done with updates now lol.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,

Design reveal- The Brides
26 days ago – Fri, Sep 18, 2026 at 04:14:46 PM

Hello all, the formidable brides are done as well now.

All designs are available as keychains or stickers as add ons.

Update: Lower goals and poll results
26 days ago – Fri, Sep 18, 2026 at 09:32:28 AM

Hello all! I have been in contact with my representative at the pin manufacturer, and was able to get a lower amount of pins per design- which in turn has lowered the amount of money per design. I have updated the campaign to the new goal numbers, we are now 79% of the way to unlocking Purr-ena as a pin!

The poll has ended, and it was a four way tie, between The Abbot, the brides , Rahadin and Strahds horse: Beucephalus. So I have decided to add the Abbot as the stretch goal, and will continue to make more designs, then once those are done, I will make one more poll.

Sorry for how unorganized this particular campaign is, I had some personal stuff happen the weeks before launch, that i would rather not get into.  But I want to thank y'all for all your patience, and understanding.
