Project Update: Cafe Calendar: Shipping done, plus COMIC news!
Hello again, Cafe patrons!
This update is going out to all people who are following my profile on BackerKit, regardless if you pledged to the Cafe Calendar 2025 project or not, as it includes information related to more than the project.
SHIPPING
All orders except for those in Canada have been shipped! You should have received an email with tracking information via USPS. For those in Canada, I've heard that the strike is finally over and USPS will resume operations. However, they aren't accepting new packages yet, so I will be shipping your items in January. They are all packaged up, so please don't worry! I have everything for your orders.
COLLECTORS GUILD CAFE COMIC - FULL STORY
I'm really excited to announce that the final draft of the entire comic story has been submitted to our comic artist! They've been hard at work on thumbnails for the prologue, and both Jason and I are BEYOND excited with how it's already turning out. We can't wait to start sharing this story with you all in 2025! We will be posting digitally at first, with the intent to crowdfund a physical edition in Winter 2025 for release in Spring 2026.
We will likely post pages to Webtoons and Instagram, with early access on Patreon, and we're hoping to do some cool stuff on YouTube as well!

IF YOU MISSED OUT ON PLEDGING
For people who follow my work, and missed out on ordering during this project, there will be a limited number of extras available at DragonWoodshop.com now that all pledges have been fulfilled. I will share a brief update once those are available. Goodies for sale will include Cafe Calendar 2024 items, Cafe Calender 2025 items, and Cafe TTRPG!
Please let me know if you have any questions; you can comment here or send me an email at [email protected]. My next update will be when I intend to completely close this project, at which time no further surveys may be completed. Please read the updated note below!
Golden moons!

UPDATED NOTE: as per my terms of service in the FAQ, if you do not fill out your survey and fully pay for your pledge + shipping by February 1, 2025, the Cafe 2025 Calendar project will be completely locked and you will not be refunded. I am not a warehouse, so I cannot keep your surveys open forever, nor can I store items forever if they are not paid for or claimed. Any money you have already paid will be considered a donation. THE CAFE 2025 CALENDAR PROJECT WILL FULLY CLOSE ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2025.

Project Update: Cafe Calendar: Add-ons & Shipping Charged, Fulfillment is Soon!
Hello again, Cafe patrons!
This update is going out to all people who are following my profile on BackerKit.
All Cafe goodies have arrived and been quality checked! I'm going to charge for add-ons and shipping now, so that I can start packaging orders. Photos are at the end of this update! This puts us WELL ahead of schedule, hooray! Originally I was planning to ship in January, but it looks like I'll be done before the end of the year. Hopefully this is good news for many of you!

Project Update: Cafe Calendar: Surveys Locked, Items Ordered
Hello again, Cafe patrons!
All but 14 people have answered their surveys by yesterday's deadline, which puts us at 92% survey completion. These surveys are now set to lock in about 24 hours. I need to lock everything now to make sure counts are as accurate as possible compared to what I'm ordering.
YOUR SURVEY MUST BE COMPLETE AND PAID IN FULL to receive any rewards, physical or digital, including anything free.
On that note, everything has been ordered! I expected some of it to take longer to discuss, but it all went so smoothly yesterday. Calendar, Coloring Book, and Comic Issue are IN PRODUCTION. Bookmarks (6-pack, Tress the Minotaur, and Cafe Chaos) are IN PRODUCTION. Stickers (Blaze and Cafe logo) and Magnet (Cafe logo) are COMPLETE AND RECEIVED.
HOW DOES PAYING FOR ADD-ONS/SHIPPING WORK
You are NOT charged for shipping and add-ons at this time. You will be charged closer to the shipment date. However, you MUST fill out your survey with your shipping address (if you're ordering physical rewards) so that I know where to ship your Cafe Goodies! Digital only pledges don't need a shipping address but you can't receive your rewards until you've completed your survey.

Project Update: Cafe Calendar: Smoke Test is Out, All Surveys Soon
Hello again, Cafe patrons!
Whew, this has already been a really busy week, and it's only Tuesday evening. I've finished the survey nearly a week ahead of schedule! Smoke Test went out just now (that's 5% of surveys to make sure everything is set up correctly). This is completely random so don't feel sad if your survey isn't in! I'll be sending all the rest of them out tomorrow evening, assuming everything goes well.
Make sure you finish your survey by October 21 to be guaranteed you're in the first wave of fulfillment! I'll be ordering all items by November 4 (some items will require more conversation to make sure they turn out correctly, so I'll be working on ordering everything through October 22 - November 4).
I've added a LOT of items from previous Cafe projects, including last year's calendars, coloring books, and stickers, as well as the TTRPG pins, stickers, and more. I hope they will find good homes!
Today I finished formatting the dates section of the calendar, as well as updated some formatting so that the images aren't cut off. All images now have a parchment-esque border so that you can enjoy the full pieces of art designed by Abi! I've also added a slim white border to the coloring pages so that they aren't cut off too much at the edges and the perforation. Everything is looking REALLY cute and I look forward to getting all these goodies out to you!

HOW DOES PAYING FOR ADD-ONS/SHIPPING WORK WORK
You are NOT charged for shipping and add-ons immediately. Instead, you will be charged closer to the shipment date. However, you MUST fill out your survey with your shipping address (if you're ordering physical rewards) so that I can know how much I actually need to order. Digital reward only pledges don't need a shipping address but you can't receive your rewards until you've completed your survey.

Project Update: Cafe Update: Project Complete & Next Steps!
Cafe patrons... you amaze me!
You all got me so far in this journey, and I couldn't have done it without you. Words are never enough, but I hope this REALLY BIG THANK YOU can help you understand how I feel right now! Over the next TWO WEEKS, I'll be working on the pledge manager survey and payments will begin processing for your initial pledge amount. Please feel free to ask questions, talk about the journey, or generally just hang out in the Community tab!
HOW DO PAYMENTS WORK
Over the next two weeks, BackerKit will charge the card you used in your pledge, and import your information into the pledge manager. If your payment doesn't work this first time, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey! There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on February 28, 2025.
