Project Complete
3 months ago – Mon, Dec 01, 2025 at 07:26:04 AM

Hey everyone!

The day has finally arrived… the final packages are now packed, labelled, and their collections are officially booked! That means once the postie comes on Wednesday, this project will be fully completed.

If your package hasn’t reached you yet, you can find your tracking details on BackerKit; just open your order and check the notes section. And of course, if anything looks off or you need help, feel free to message me and I’ll sort it out.

Thank you all so much for your patience throughout this project. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading or running the adventure, and I’d genuinely love to hear about any of your sessions, stories, or table moments.

Looking ahead, there are some changes coming to LunaBear Games. For future projects, I won’t be managing fulfilment myself anymore. I’d hoped that handling printing and manufacturing directly would improve the quality and speed of delivery, but in reality, it slowed things down.

I’m always trying to improve, and I want future adventures to arrive faster and cost less. So starting in 2026 (and likely beyond), I’ll be returning to Print-on-Demand for books. This frees up weeks of production time for me to focus on writing more adventures, and it’ll also lower shipping costs (and avoid those dreaded tariffs!) since items will be printed closer to where you live.

Thank you again! And I hope to see your names pop up again when I launch Lost City of the Scaled King in early 2026. If you've not seen that project yet, you can follow it at the link below:

Cards Arrived + Final Deliveries in Progress
6 months ago – Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 06:12:37 AM

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re having a great week! I’m excited to share that the bulk order of cards has finally arrived and they look fantastic.

That means the remaining orders are now being packaged up and shipped. Very soon, this project will officially be wrapped up! :)

----------------------------------------------------

Also don't forget, we have our next project launching soon. There's a great Early-Bird reward on the Complete Set where you get 2 of the 6 decks for free. Be the first to hear when we launch and get the best value by following the prelaunch page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lunabeargames/the-deck-of-holding-dandd-2024-reference-cards

The Deck of Holding

The Deck of Holding is a set of beautifully illustrated, easy-to-use monster reference cards, fully compatible with the latest D&D 5e (2024) rules and featuring a mix of official monsters and exclusive creatures from LunaBear Games.

Designed for busy Game Masters, each card gives you quick access to essential stat blocks without the endless page-flipping. Whether you’re running a tense dungeon crawl or a chaotic tavern brawl, just pull the cards you need and keep the game flowing.

The Complete Set contains six packed decks, stuffed with official stat blocks and a host of original LunaBear Games monsters. Every pledge helps bring this sleek, no-fuss GM tool to your table.

The Cards Are In – And They Look Fantastic!
8 months ago – Mon, Jul 07, 2025 at 08:33:20 AM

Good day, backers!

Three bits of news to update you on today!

Card Proofs Arrived!

The proof deck for Scourge of the Tyrant King has arrived — and it looks amazing. Here's a quick photo of the final product (please excuse the poor quality of my phone camera 😄):

I'm thrilled with the quality, and I hope you will be too. I've already placed the full bulk order, and the decks are now being manufactured. Once they’re printed and packed, I'll be shipping them out as soon as possible. I’ll update you again when the rest of the cards arrive.

Packing and Postage

Packing and posting is still well under way. I'm currently sitting at 176 shipped and 114 to go! Obviously those that have cards as part of your order, you will likely be posted to last, but if you haven't received yours yet, you will very soon! Thank you so much for your support and sticking with me through this project. The feedback for the adventure, so far, has been very positive and I'm glad you're enjoying it!

A New Project Appears!

While playtesting with the prototype cards, I realised just how much they improved my own GM'ing experience. Having quick reference cards for monsters made encounters run faster and more smoothly; no more flipping between stat blocks in the Monster Manual. In fact, I didn’t need the Monster Manual on the table at all.

This is also, as of now, the ONLY set of monster reference cards updated with the 2025 Monster Manual stats! The new edition features stronger monsters and cleaner, more efficient stat blocks. If you’re running 5e in 2025 and beyond, I genuinely recommend this as a powerful GM tool.

Please take a look at the prelaunch page and if you think it's for you, give it a follow. I'm running an Early-Bird tier that only available for the first 48 hours, so sign up to be notified when we launch.

Following the project before launch really helps us build momentum. We’ve also lined up some great stretch goals that will expand the decks — so the more people we reach, the better the final product will be for everyone!
