Hello, wonderful supporters. 

We have been working non-stop behind the scenes to get you the best update we can.

I am going to be fully transparent with you. Most of you have been with us for years, and you know how important it is to us to have a good printer. One who is reliable and does not make errors.

We had an expensive misprint with our last project using these printers, but in order to keep this card stock everyone loved we had to use them again for this project.

I won't go into details, but suffice to say they have been very difficult to work with and after several failed attempts we have no choice but to forgo our materials deposit we made to them and work with a different printer. And DONT WORRY! We found the exact card stock.

We refuse to allow anything but a perfect print for this very important deck. 

This clearly will put us well behind our production schedule, so we have been hard at work thinking about how to handle this fairly. We have no new dates yet but we are expediting this as fast as we can.

Here are the incentives we have for you:

1. Everyone who backed our 78 Tarot Anniversary will receive a 5.00 credit for our next campaign - 78 Tarot Nautical & Companion Oracle - Healing Waters- launching on Kickstarter on 11/7. 

2. Everyone who backed our 78 Tarot Anniversary will get a special pin from our Nautical campaign.

3. Everyone who backed our campaign will receive a special recorded collective reading by Trish Sullivan

4. Everyone who backed our campaign will have the option to combine shipping of both Anniversary and Nautical (our new deck launching on Kickstarter on 11/7).

5. Everyone who backed our campaign will have the option for us to ship your non-78 Tarot Anniversary rewards at half price (as much as we would love to ship these for free we simply dont have the money). This means you can get them right now if you pay a small amount of extra shipping. 

We struggled with how to go forward with this issue, as it is not something we have experienced in our decade of printing. We hope this is fair to you all. We spent a lot of time thinking of the best incentives we could.

IF you want to have your items partially shipped by paying half shipping, PLEASE email us - [email protected] and tell us your name and address and we will email you an additional invoice for shipping if needed. 

Now, before I go, I want to let you know that we tried to make it work at Backerkit before deciding to return to Kickstarter. The truth is, we have to be where we built our project from the ground up. We gave it our best, but we just need to be where we can get more eyes on our project. We will still state our NO AI policy on every project. Our ethics have not wavered, but we need to do what is best for our backers and our artists.

That is all for now. 

We very much hope to see you on 11/7 for our Nautical New Wave Kickstarter. Our artists have been working for a year on this Tarot deck and Healing Oracle. And we are so excited for everyone to see it. 

With love and gratitude,

Team 78 Tarot (Kayti, Trish, Del & Chris)
