Hi Friends,
I have shipped the book to everyone who 1. ordered one and 2. filled out their backerkit survey,
NOW IT'S TIME FOR STRETCH GOALS!
I'm currently working on formatting the 5E stats that I got from some awesome GMs into pdfs and screen reader friendly versions.
There is a NEW folder for 5E stats on the download page. (use the QR code or type the link on pg 95 of your book - it's about 3 from the last page)
I’ll be updating the folder once a week until all of them are in place.
If you use a screen reader, please see the google docs for the 5E stats.
Astra Fauna Stat Blocks - Datera and Heldel - has been completed.
As always, if you need anything, email [email protected]
QUICK REPEAT: use the QR code or type the link on pg 95 of your book to get your stats

First up was Datera and Heldel!
A HUGE Thanks to Jay Marz for taking the time to make these stat blocks.
If you run a particularly memorable encounter, please be sure to tell me - [email protected] so I can tell him.

Project I love.
Since we are approaching autumn and the Halloween season, I wanted to tell you about my friend's new project. Joanna is an award winning watercolor artist, and her art is something I think a lot of you folks might enjoy. Check it out! Link is below, she's not crowdfunding, she's hosting it directly.
https://www.joannabarnum.com/shop/revelry-of-ravens-halloween-art-countdown
Count down the two weeks leading to Halloween with a series of spooky collectible art treats by artist Joanna Barnum. Each day, open one of the envelopes for a new mini art print and the next installment in your journey through forest and field on raven's wing. Arrange your prints to form one continuous detailed scene, revealing more mysteries of the night as Halloween approaches.
The DELUXE version of the Countdown also includes a different vinyl sticker in each envelope, and the COLLECTOR version of the Countdown includes an original black and white pencil and watercolor raven sketch in your final envelope, as well as stickers. There is also an e-mail/DIGITAL EXPERIENCE version of the Halloween Art Countdown available.
Shipping Delay Due to Hurricane Lee

Hi friends!
Just a quick update.
I'll be delaying shipping due to Hurricane Lee. I don't want packages moving in or out of Boston during the storm. I think that's just asking for damaged goods.
I'll be monitoring the weather and shipping once it clears up.
THIS MEANS YOUR TRACKING NUMBERS WILL START WORKING LATER THAN YOUR EMAIL SAYS.
But rest assured, I'm on top of it, your rewards are packaged, postage is paid, and they are all tucked safely away into moving boxes to go to the post office once the weather clears up. :)
Stay safe and have a great day!
Sarah
SHIPPING BEGINS! (Technically, on Sept 15th)

Hi Friends,
The day is here! Shipping begins!
TLDR - Things are going out in batches. IF YOU GET a tracking number email, the EARLIEST it will work is Sept 17th.
If you still haven't filled out your survey, please do! https://astra-fauna.backerkit.com/
Huge thanks to Sarah Forde of Adorkastock and Adorkabows for coming over to help with the first days of fulfillment! She has done LOTS of Kickstarters and since this one was my first one, it was super helpful to have some one experienced one day one. Also, huge thanks to Blue Amrich from Beyond the Fence: Adventure Dog Photography for helping out too. Tom helped too, but he's not online, so I can't link to him. :)
Ink was also there to supervise.
This weekend we got all the "Just got the book" ordered packaged - that's an half way done!
I'M BRINGING THEM TO THE POST OFFICE ON SEPTEMBER 15TH.
TRACKING NUMBERS WON'T WORK UNTIL SEPT 17TH.
I'm doing this to avoid the coming rain best I can.
But they are all packed and ready to go!
Next up, I'll be packaging the limited reward tiers, then the pencil drawing tiers, then the painting tiers.
I aim to have ALL the packages in the mail by Sept 29TH EXCEPT, the pet portraits which I still need to make and will ship separately and after the book.
Thanks so much for your support and encouragement! All the very best!
Sarah and Ink
PS. If you have any troubles - email backerkit. https://www.backerkit.com/contact
