GnomeWorks Wooden Dice Box

Glittergold gives Guidance! Skill check SUCCESS!

Everyone,

The Head Gnome is working us night and day, you would think he was a Duergar!  I was working on the post campaign survey the other night to get them ready.  When working on the survey I realized very quickly that there is a lot more functionality that I needed to service my backers correctly.  I have been a backer many times and sometimes the post campaign survey went smoothly with easy to understand options and other times not so much.  After some research... I realized that BackerKit was the reason that the surveys went so smoothly and it was very easy to add on an item, pick a specific type of reward, etc... 

So, I am happy to announce that Gnomeworks has signed up with BackerKit to keep your choices clear and the headaches to a minimum. Their platform will allow you to choose the specifics of your reward options and even add items if you want!  If you know that you are wanting multiple rewards, still add them to your pledge so that we can quickly hit more stretch goals.  It is a well thought out platform, I know that Glittergold inspired them!  This will make your post campaign survey experience much better.  Also this will allow me to focus on meeting delivery expectations!  Praise be to Glittergold for giving me guidance on this wisdom roll!  Also this service will allow me to provide a way for others that were "late to the party" (missed the Kickstarter campaign) and want to be cool like yourself to get a box also.

Thanks for the Support!

Any Interest in a Pathfinder Spell Tracker?
over 6 years ago – Thu, Nov 02, 2017 at 05:10:06 PM

Everyone,

I was asked about a possible Pathfinder Spell Tracker.  Would anyone be interested in having that option as an add-on at the end of the campaign?  It would be the size of a small tracker so it could replace the current spell tracker in your box, when you play Pathfinder.  If there is enough interest for this add-on I will design something.

We are close to the 1st Stretch goal!  Let everyone know!

Thank you for your support!

The Sexy Six!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 10:04:26 AM

Everyone,

Been working on getting all of the six choices in the same area to help you decide what wood you are wanting.  I just put a first coat on these seven boxes and wanted to show you.

 Once the sealant goes on it really makes the grain and color pop! This is the first coat of five that I put on my boxes.

Here is an Artisan box of Bolivian Rosewood that I am working on...  Thought you would enjoy seeing it's progress.

 They dry for 12 hours between coats.  It will take five days to complete this process.  To do the front and back of each piece 12 hrs and 12 hrs x 5 coats.  I have found that this process gives the best results.

Show and Tell in the Shop...

Everyone,

I have added some pictures of the boxes that I am currently working on.  I will update the "prototype gallery" with new pictures every few days to show you the product in stages.

Please check your messages, I have sent many backers messages requesting some information.  Thanks to all that have already responded.  This helps me correlate data in a timely manner.

Thank you for your support!  Pass the word only a few boxes are left for December delivery!
