Dear assistant designers,
in order to prepare the renderings for the new polyhedrals,
I am asking for your opinion regarding the colors to employ.
Since the minimum manufacturing quantity is 500 dice per color,
for the time being each type will be manufactured in one color only.
The good news is we'll be able to use a couple more new combinations.
If we make all the new polyhedrals in Morning Sky color anyway, it would be possible to obtain a full set of 8 dice in the same color (including the Northern Sky d6 reprint) provided that we set a Stretch Goal for the Voyager d10 in that color, too.
The choice is up to you... All in the same color? Each one in its color?

This campaign is advancing at the speed of light...
we have just unlocked two polyhedrals in the
set!
A d4 with lunar phases (Supermoon dice)
A d12 with zodiacal constellations (Zodiacal dice)
Mission control here is quite busy wrapping everything up.
The campaign page will be updated with the new designs on monday at the latest.
I understand things might appear a bit complicated now, but it is all quite manageable, and the long due visual matrix of the rewards is being completed with all the updates.
Most of you took the opportunity to grab the (extremely convenient) extended sets, making my
job a little simpler and providing exposure to the project: next week we may appear again
among the first 20 popular projects in the tabletop category!
In a few days I will be able to do the math and see if we have the funds for a pledge manager,
if you wish me to invest in that. I am preparing a second survey to gather your thoughts on
this and other matters, such as the colors for the polyhedrals.
Please comment on this update if you wish to brainstorm on
the designs!
10,000 THANK YOU!
Stretch Goal Adventure!

Just as the Voyager 1 probe has left the solar system, entering interstellar space, our campaign is going towards exciting, uncharted frontiers... a full polyhedral set!
To avoid complicating further the add-ons procedure I have renamed the Voyager d10 to generic "polyhedrals" in the add-ons list, given that the manufacturing costs are similar.
As these are offered in couples, the Stretch Goals will unlock two polyhedrals at once, and if the polyhedrals will not be funded, you will receive more Solar System Voyager d10 instead.
As anticipated yesterday, I have just published two EXTENDED rewards, based on the Anniversary Sets (which were made to include all dice variations).
- The "Extended Anniversary Set" includes the Northern Sky dice (in
Morning Sky color) plus all four polyhedrals (provided that they will
all be funded) and four more Desired Constellation dice to let you
obtain a full fudge/FATE set in each available color.
To update your "One Anniversary Set" to Extended, you would need to
increase your pledge by €21. If you upgrade to the new limited
"Extended Anniversary Set" tier you will save €9 and be set for the
rest of the campaign (unless you choose to add even more extra dice
later).
This means you would obtain the Northern Sky and two of the four
polyhedrals dice for FREE and, if the Stretch Goals are not entirely
met... two of your d10 will be upgraded for FREE to glow-in-the-dark
(if you have more then one couple at the end of the campaign)!
- The "Extended Deluxe Anniversary Set" includes both finishings for the
Northern Sky dice in Morning Sky color (standard and glow-in-the-
dark), two couples of Solar System Voyager d10, as one will be glow-
in-the-dark according to the Stretch Goal, plus all four polyhedrals
(provided that they will all be funded) and four more Desired
Constellation dice to let you obtain a full fudge/FATE set in each
available color.
To update your "One Deluxe Anniversary Set" to Extended, you would
need to increase your pledge by €32. If you upgrade to the new limited
"Extended Deluxe Anniversary Set" tier, you will only need about half of that to be set for the rest of the campaign (unless you choose to
add even more extra dice later).
Yes, this means you would get all the four polyhedrals for FREE.
Shipping is untracked though, unless you live in the United States.
Since these reward levels are directed to the current backers, they
will only be available during the Black Friday weekend before the cost
gets higher.
Thanks for your support!
I'm Thankful...! New color unlocked, and...

What a day to say Thank You All.
Our campaign today doubled its initial founding goal, and it's time to up the game.
We are going to ...shoot for the stars, and try to fund a complete polyhedral set!
After carefully evaluating your feedback, it was evident you wanted me to reinvest any savings due to the higher number of backers to manufacture more designs, and offer more colors (that means, you will also be able to pick your favorite color).
Since each design requires the production of 500 dice as a minimum, regardless of how many of you are getting it, I will offer each polyhedron in order of your preference, so that the least wanted will be the last funded. And the most wanted is....
The 1st edition set! Which was limited edition! And of course, sold out.
But since we have an additional color option for the Southern set, it is fair that also the Ptolemaic Constellations dice will get a new limited run in this new color. Which is...
Morning Sky! By a large margin, this time (thanks to all the backers who voted).
You will be able to get the Northern Sky by selecting Morning Sky as a color, at no additional cost (unless you want more dice than those included in your reward).
Regarding the polyhedrals, I will not be able to include these additional designs for free, because the dice out of 500 that you won't get I will have to, and pay a lot :)
To simplify acquiring all the new dice without having to constantly increase your pledge, I will offer a new, super-discounted and limited reward tier, to allow you current backers to get as many as the new dice as we're able to fund together.
Very appropriately, the new tier will be published during Black Friday, along with some hot deals that I hope will bring even more backers in, helping us appear in Kickstarter most popular selection. To obtain that, may I also ask that those of you interested in getting extra dice do so all together during the Black Friday weekend?
The more we are, the better, so please share the link to this project to all of your contacts that may be interested in it. I'm already working hard as I can to spread it!
What else... did you see the new renderings I just received from Q-Workshop?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Initial survey results - New stretch goal

We are still going strong towards doubling the initial funding goal. Astounding!
I have collected feedback from about half of the backers and will share some insights.
- 50% of you are Gamers
- 25% of you are Collectors
- Most of you have a soft spot for Constellation Dice
- You would love to get new designs AND new colors
- Morning Sky wins over Cartography (but they are close)
And... you would really like to see a full polyhedral set of my dice!
I am going to offer a new color option to celebrate €8000, and one more design.
Thanks to your feedback I think I know what you really... really want, and it's coming.
If you wish to give your opinion and yet didn't, there is still time to fill the one minute survey: http://bit.ly/ConstellationDiceSurveyNr1
