Hey everyone! I'm live on Twitch: I'm making an upcoming bard-only item, the vain virtuoso's violin!

Each week I stream for patrons, but with the world in a bit of disarray with COVID-19 wreaking havoc, I wanted to offer some extra early-week good vibes and entertainment for you all instead. Come stop by, say hi, and get to know me and the rest of the community! Hope to see you there!

Item illustration stream event tonight (7:30PM EDT (GMT-4)

Hey everyone!

I stream on Monday nights for my patrons, who vote on an item to make over the weekend. I normally host it on Picarto, but I'll be going live on Twitch tonight to make it available for you and everyone else to tune in and meet me and the rest of the digital community!

We're making an item based on pride this evening (7:30 PM EDT)! I hope to see you there! I'll post another update here when I go live, in case you'd like to stop in!

You can follow my Twitch channel here in the meantime to get a notification of when I go live.

Many people, including myself, are isolating themselves to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I wanted to offer this normally exclusive stream to a wider audience to hopefully stave off some of that cabin fever and boredom that may be setting in.

Come and see how these items get made, ask me anything, and get your workweek started off on the right foot! See you tonight!

All 7 card packs: unlocked!

Wow! Thank you all so much for the support! We did it!

With your pledges, I can afford to print the last set of item cards that go with this book. That means that you can use this book for magic item reference and hand out every one of their cards to your players as they find them.

This last pack has 4 artifacts in it, including the griffon's saddlebag itself. It's a bigger pack with 65 items in it, instead of the standard 50, so it's even a little bigger than the others!

Upcoming: The Adventurer's Pack

I'm currently working with the Deck of Many to find the right plan for an upgraded pledge tier that includes all item card packs with your book: potentially including a special card box to carry all the cards in! Rest assured that if this is something you're looking forward to, more news will come about it soon! Keep your eyes peeled!

What's next?

The next pledge goal is the exciting return to Hearth, a location born from lore originating from the Saddlebag. If you're curious about what's in store, check out this free 60-page adventure and collaborative super release between me and 4 other 5e content creators, including items, NPCs, maps, monsters, miniatures, and more! This epic adventure leaves the abandoned city of Hearth free for the taking: what will you do with it? A lot of cool content comes with this epic $300,000 goal, and I would love to share it with you all!

Thank you as always for your excitement, and I can't wait to hear about your adventures with these items and cards!

Item Cards Volume 6: Unlocked! 1,500% funded in 24 hours. Wow!

Wow! What a ride this has been for these first 24 hours. Thank you all so much for being here and for being excited about this project. It's an honor to be making this for you.

With your support, we've made it through the first three stretch goals! We're only a short hop away from the 7th volume of item cards being funded: meaning that anyone can also have physical handouts for every item found in this book. Volume 7 has 65 items in it, as opposed to volumes 1-6s' 50 items per pack. There are a lot of great items in there that I'm sure you'll love to give to your players, so let's smash that last card stretch goal!

1,000% funded...on day 1? Item Cards volume 5: unlocked! Welcome critters!

You are incredible. Thank you so, so much, from the the bottom of my heart, for caring about this project with me. Your support has unlocked the fifth volume of item cards from the Deck of Many, meaning that it'll be available as an add-on for everyone through Backerkit once the campaign ends.

If you decided to support at the $100 or $130 pledge tiers, thank you! You can choose to have this 5th volume of cards be one of your 4 included card packs with your pledge!

You are all my heroes! Let's keep this going and unlock the next pack of cards to get us one step closer to making every item in this book available as an item card for you to share with your players!

And a special hello and welcome to all the new supporters from Critical Role! You are wonderful, and I am so happy to have you here with us! Enjoy the items, welcome to the adventuring party, and keep on adventuring!
