Tax & Shipping are charged at a later date 🦺

The final Tax & shipping costs will be charged once we have made all the prototypes and we know how much the product weighs and we know your address, so please hang on tight until we get those final numbers down.

Work In Progress

Character cards WIP.

Dice design was finalized and sent to tooling and prototype production.

Magic Items cards WIP, these are just a part of the whole lot. Crafting over 50 magic items is a lot of downtime activity.

Two minis from the second batch of prototyping, looking great!
