Countdown to Fulfillment, June 2020 - May Edition
almost 4 years ago
– Sat, May 02, 2020 at 09:23:38 PM
Here we are, the beginning of May - fulfillment is set to begin next month! Are you ready?
More importantly, are we ready? Read on...
Status of the Corrupted Collection
We continue to deal with the impact of COVID-19, and remain operating at reduced capacity. We are moving towards planning for the end of the lockdown, which will allow us to bring some craftsmen back into the shop, however. As we do so, we're building out stations with safety in mind, and instituting policies regarding PPE and social distancing for those here.
But, the bottom line is simple: with development ready, we do expect to begin production and meet our estimated delivery target for June, the first wave of delivery. We'll be moving to cautiously re-staff as safety and regulations allow, and unless there is a large secondary surge that forces us to implement stricter measures, we'll begin the road to a full re-boot as soon as we're able.
About two weeks ago, we launched our latest project, and it's gone amazingly well! We're recently surpassed $1,000,000 in funding, meaning our 8,500+ backers will be receiving up to six free dice with their pledge! Resin, gemstone, glass and wood dice are available, in a variety of configurations. Finally, the option to get your dice with our innovative "high variance" numbering is available, as well. If you want to add a bit of spice and drama to your gaming sessions, high variance dice might be just what you're looking for.
Check it out here - we're at about the mid-point, so there's still time left to be a part of our biggest campaign yet.
Wyrm Lyfe
Wednesday marked a new episode of our continuing vlog series. This one features a quick look at the new office areas in Wyrmwood, an invitation to fellow craftspeople to send in their work, an update on our intubation shield project, and... whips. So, something for everyone? New episodes are uploaded every Wednesday and Sunday, so be sure to subscribe if you don't want to miss out!
That'll do it - the next update will be on June 1st, and shipments are set to begin shortly after that! The wait is nearly over. Thanks, as always, for your patience and support of our work.

New Kickstarter Alert: Dice by Wyrmwood! LIVE NOW!
about 4 years ago
– Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 08:03:30 PM
Hello, everyone. We have a new project launching today, live now, Dice by Wyrmwood - scroll down for the information on that!
But first, a quick note on fulfillment of the campaign, still due to start in June!
Shipping Status of Corrupted Collection
Good news! The pandemic is decelerating and it looks like we may be clear to re-open relatively soon, in early May. Once that occurs, we will be moving quickly to get everything in place to begin fulfillment, as scheduled, in June.
As always, should we encounter fulfillment delays, any backers impacted will be receiving a $25 Gyft Certificate to WyrmwoodGaming.com, as promised in our Kickstarter policy, described in prior updates.
We wanted to let you in on the good news - we didn't anticipate the pandemic impacting this project, and luckily the trends seem to be confirming that it won't. Now, on to some exciting news!
Pledge for your choice of single d20, full set of 7 polyhedrals, or extra 3d6, with standard numbering, or our innovative HIGH VARIANCE numbering! What's that? Click above to find out!
We set the fulfillment dates well ahead of where we normally would to allow for any lingering impact the pandemic may have, but we fully expect all of that to have long since resolved by the time we're ready to fulfill this project. Fulfillment on the Corrupted Collection will be just wrapping up by then, as well. :)
Until Next Time
That about wraps it up - we hope you're all staying safe out there, and as always, we thank you for your support and understanding. Hopefully soon, we can all get back to our lives - and game tables!

Countdown to Fulfillment, June 2020
about 4 years ago
– Wed, Apr 01, 2020 at 10:21:42 PM
Hello everyone!
As we discussed in our last update, Wyrmwood, like virtually every other organization of people, has been impacted by COVID-19. If you missed that update, you can find it posted to our website. We'd encourage you to read it, if you haven't yet, so you're fully caught up.
Now, we still don't expect this campaign to be impacted by these setbacks, so no cause for concern as of yet. We'll obviously keep you updated as the situation develops.
But we did want to check in as promised and let you know we're keeping tabs on things and still moving forward in what ways we can. That said, we do have some content and news to share in the meantime.
Wyrm Lyfe & Twitch
Most of us are stuck at home with little we can do. We felt it was as good a time as any to expand Wyrm Lyfe to twice a week, both to cover the unprecedented situation we - and all of us - are in, as well as, frankly, to fill the time since there's a huge demand for content right now.
We stream Monday-Thursday beginning at 7:00 PM Eastern time, and Fridays starting at noon. A Tuesday afternoon spot every week is coming soon, too.
And hey, speaking of Wyrm Lyfe, it's Wednesday today - and, that means a new episode!
Watch it right here:
Something Completely Different
If you watched the new episode just now, you no doubt noticed the segment concerning intubation boxes. To summarize:
Wyrmwood is working to create boxes for doctors, nurses, EMTs, firefighters and other healthcare professionals to safely intubate patients without risking pathogen exposure any more than necessary. These boxes, designed by a Chinese doctor, are available on request to any of the above individuals. The production and shipping of these boxes will be financed through the funds raised from sales of our Shield of Protection.
Important Notes Before Requesting A Box
We're beginning to make these immediately, but supplies will be extremely limited, at least at first.
This offer is intended for individual healthcare workers - NOT bulk orders from hospitals or other agencies. We can arrange those orders, but that is outside the scope of this offer. The first step is to get some of these out in the world and in the hands of first responders on the front lines. We can get feedback, refine if needed, and they can make sure this is something they want before we start trying to crank out large numbers.
We will be able to produce these in our shop. We will continue to observe the safest practices we can, but this is obviously an essential manufacturing project, and we'll do what we can to make as many as we can.
We'll make the plan for the box available, also free of charge, so anyone with access to the raw materials and a laser cutter - including other companies - could offer these.
Anyone requesting one needs to send us their name, profession, andmailing address via email. Please attach an image of a work ID verifying you are a trained healthcare professional - we need these to go where they're needed, in the hands of people that can make use of them properly.
With all that out of the way, to request a box, email us at [email protected].
And, the reason we're including this here: please pass these details on to anyone you know in the healthcare field that may be interested.
Stay safe, everyone, thanks again for your support and understanding, and we'll be in touch soon.

Wyrmwood & COVID-19: A Statement for our Backers and Community
about 4 years ago
– Sun, Mar 22, 2020 at 08:43:29 PM
To our valued clients, backers, customers, fans, and community:
As you’re all aware, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is spreading, and has had an effect on everyday life for nearly everyone. We at Wyrmwood are no exception, and have been working hard to chart a course through these uncertain times, both as a company, and as a family of passionate gamers that work and interact closely together.
As a company, we have a responsibility to ourselves, our employees and our community to take all the precautions we can to avoid spreading the disease ourselves. But at this time, many of us are turning to the gaming community for normalcy and comfort - even if we’re changing how we come together, we’re still coming together. Wyrmwood feels a responsibility to continue our role in this community as much as possible.
Key Objective
Wyrmwood will continue to operate as much as possible, for as long as possible, while prioritizing the safety of our team and community.
Immediate Actions
Wyrmwood will be operating with essential personnel only. This will consist of approximately 15 people, working at the main facility which usually houses our full team of 65. In addition, we will implement expanded safety measures which include social distancing within the workplace, a ban on shared work spaces and tools, and the shutdown of common areas like the breakroom.
Operations like shipping, new product development, work on furniture and some accessory production will take place at the shop.
We’re also implementing decentralized production techniques, which will include production for some accessories taking place away from the main facility, in employees’ homes. Batches of products will be delivered on a weekly basis, employees will advance them or complete them entirely, then they’ll be picked up and brought back to the shop for packaging and shipping - without physical interaction between the parties.
As stated above, development and planning continues for new projects, such as our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, and this work will move forward - albeit with possibly modified production deadlines given the current situation.
No matter what occurs, you can expect to hear a lot more about it through WYRM LYFE and our Twitch channel, both of which will continue full operation. Our community has never been more important than it is right now, and we hope you’ll continue to join us as we all navigate this situation together.
What Does This Mean for Me?
No doubt you’re wondering how all of this will impact you. Well, that depends on whether you’re a website customer, furniture client or Kickstarter backer.
Website Customers
Customers placing orders of in-stock items at WyrmwoodGaming.com will feel the least impact from these changes. Our website inventory reflects completed, ready-to-ship merchandise, and shipping will continue for these items. We will continue to produce items and keep the inventory up-to-date, and ship out orders daily.
Shipping and customer service will both continue, although some slight delays in both are possible, given our scaled back workforce, so please bear with us if it takes a little longer to get a response or a shipping notification than you’re used to - it will come. We promise.
Kickstarter Backers
Our current fulfillment is on track, and we are not expecting an issue shipping out the remainder of the March orders on time for both the Tabletop Tiles and Hero Vault 2.0 campaigns. We will continue to ship out completed items in April, as well.
That said, we do anticipate some delays with April fulfillment. These are not guaranteed, but we would say they are likely given the circumstances, so please be prepared for that if you’re in the April fulfillment wave for either currently fulfilling campaign.
The Corrupted Collection, which begins fulfillment this summer, should not be affected and we do not anticipate any delays in fulfillment for backers at this time.
We would like to again highlight our Kickstarter fulfillment policy, as outlined in campaign updates to all current campaigns:
Any backer with a Kickstarter order that is shipped out later than the target fulfillment month will receive a $25 digital Gyft Certificate good for use on any available item at WyrmwoodGaming.com.
Furniture Clients
Shipping of furniture is being suspended, effective immediately. The white glove delivery services we employ are becoming extremely limited, if available at all, and continuing to ship out furniture that causes delivery personnel to enter into homes and risk contracting and/or spreading the disease seems irresponsible at best. In addition, this option is no longer even available in many areas, either by carrier decision or government mandate. While we could explore alternatives, such as curbside delivery, that, too, may be unavailable. It’s also not practical in many cases, and we’d much rather see the job done right a bit later than risk a bad experience for our valued clients.
As we complete tables, we’ll be storing them at our facility until such time as shipping can resume. This will avoid them being warehoused in some other facility, or sitting in a truck that’s been shut down for reasons out of our control. However, shipping will resume as soon as possible, and we will notify everyone when this occurs.
Production is continuing on any table currently in progress - meaning for which construction has begun. We intend to keep working on all of these tables until they are 100% done, at which time we will issue final invoices for those pieces. We will not issue shipping invoices, of course, since we always obtain a quote just prior to shipping for accuracy.
We will not prompt any other tables for additional payment at this time. That is, we won’t issue any “time to decide” messages or move anyone to “on hold” for not paying according to the normal schedule. However, any client that wishes to place their finalization order is free to do so, and we are continuing to accept new deposits and maintain the queue so we can pick up where we left off as soon as full-scale production can resume.
Moving Forward
Part of what makes this situation so difficult is that it strikes at something important to all of us - our sense of community, our ability to get together around the table and share our lives, or celebrate together at a convention. We can’t do much of that right now, and it hurts.
A quote has been making the rounds a lot lately, and it’s one most of you probably know well:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
We may not be able to gather in the same place right now, but we’re all going through the same things, and we are - all of us - in this together. So we hope you’ll continue to join us on Twitch, and continue to interact with us and with each other through our YouTube and social media channels. We’re all going to get through this, and we’ll come back, stronger than before. And we’ll do it together.
Here at Wyrmwood, we’re going to keep moving forward, keep shipping orders, keep developing new ideas and products to make your game nights better - just like our upcoming custom dice Kickstarter, which we’ll be launching soon. Because there are a lot of game nights for all of us ahead, and soon enough, you’ll all be back at the table. And as always, Wyrmwood will be honored to be there with you.
Sincerely,
Douglas Costello, Ian Costello, Ed Maranville, Jason MacDonald, Bobby Downey, John Paquette, J Kenyon, Nick Trepanier, Christopher Gates & the entire Wyrmwood family
Countdown to Fulfillment, June 2020

Hello, backers!
As in our last update, there isn't much in the way of news to share, but we continue to be on track with all of our projects, and fully expect to start Corrupted Collection fulfillment on schedule in a few months. As a reminder, fulfillment is set to begin in June and run through September, with pre-orders shipping after the conclusion of Kickstarter fulfillment.
While we wait for the production and fulfillment to begin, we wanted to share some statistics from the campaign.
Corrupted Collection: The Numbers
Most Popular SingleItem: Coffin Vault: Wenge w/ Turquoise Inlay
Wenge and Turquoise turned out to be the most popular choice for the Maker of Monsters Master Vaults, as well. It's easy to see why - we've rarely, if ever, found a more striking combination of wood & inlay material.
And in Coffin Vaults, it wasn't even close; it was three times as popular as Black Poisonwood, and a whopping nine times as popular as Cherry!
Master Vault Interior Options: Standard vs Triptych
The original interior design proved to be more popular, by about a 2:1 ratio across all Master Vaults.
Most Popular Maker of Monsters Artwork:
Third place:Katalox in Profile
Second place:The Werewolf
First place:Katalox, the Tiefling
It's always interesting to see what everyone gravitates towards, and which end up being the biggest hits. We're big fans of the entire lineup in this campaign, and while there were certainly favorites, there was a well-balanced split on all of the options. Whatever you chose, we look forward to getting you your order, and we hope you love it.
Latest Wyrm Lyfe
Our YouTube vlog, Wyrm Lyfe, details the epic, continuing saga of... okay, well, it's things that happen. Some good, some bad. Check it out! New episodes every Wednesday.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to getting you your rewards!
