Theon Stark Coin of Winterfell is almost done!

Here are some highlights from the production:

Woody is giving Theon Stark a haircut. He's buffing off some rough areas before he starts on the detail work:

We did it!

Again, thank you to everyone who backed and shared our campaign. Our project closed on Friday at 435% funded. 

Surveys

For those who have not backed a campaign before, we will need a few extra pieces of information before we can ship your reward. A few companies help to make this process easier. For this campaign, we are going to be working with a new company, Crowd Control. We love how simple their surveys are to complete. We are setting those up now and hope to send surveys by Dec. 1 to all backers. More info on that soon.

Map additions

I just had a meeting this morning with our superstar artist Maggie Ivy about the unlocked additions to the map art. She's on it! 

Worry Coins

Just launched on Kickstarter, our friend J. L. Lawson designed this awesome worry coin with a smooth concave surface. It feels awesome. We are minting this coin for him, but don't worry, it won't slow down our work on your Pre-Conquest Coins.

over 7 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 05:36:26 AM

Happy Dia de los Muertos! I hope everyone had a fun Halloween yesterday. Our campaign is ending tomorrow night and I have a surprise for everyone! 

All backers of the $40 level and above will be getting a Thick Iron Coin of the Faceless Man in archival packaging for free! Basically if you are pledged to get more than 1 coin, you'll get this new release at no extra charge. This coin is twice as thick as the original Iron Coin of the Faceless Man. 

Thanks for backing!
