Hello wonderful humans! So we realized we’ve been posting our unlocked stretch goals on social media, but haven’t yet posted them here. So get ready for a bunch of updates with pictures of gorgeous click clacks! To start off, here’s our Fern Flower set!

Hello wonderful humans! When we started this, we truly had no idea what we were doing. We know how to make dice, and we know how to play D&D, but this Kickstarter stuff is new territory. So when we chose the stretch goals, we kind of just took shots in the dark.
Now that we're halfway through the campaign and have an idea of how many people are interested, we're decreasing ALL of our stretch goals so that they are reachable!
As a result, both FERN FLOWER and HOW TIGER GOT HIS STRIPES are UNLOCKED!
We love you all, thank you so, so much.
Sam and Kailee
We're halfway there! Thank you everyone! Now, for some backstory

Hello friends! Since we are officially halfway through our very first Kickstarter campaign, I want to share a bit more about Raven & Riddle and why I think you should support us: First our product. The dice are honestly beautiful and high quality, and I believe in them whole-heartedly.
Secondly, we are definitely a small business. In fact, there are so far only the two of us. Sam is an American ex-pat living in Ireland, and they are the one that actually makes the dice, and does the lion’s share of the work. My name is Kailee, and I handle social media and writing out stuff like this. D&D is what brought us together, but we bonded over our similarities. We are both queer women(ish) (I identify as grey-asexual/panromantic, Sam identifies as non-binary sapphic), and we are both neurodivergent. We have a remarkably similar flavour of ADHD, and we do better in the creative field. I have a day job in retail, and it’s really hard. I come home from work every day feeling stupid, but then I get on Twitter and the love and support of the tabletop gaming community are amazing. I want to devote more of my time and energy there and to give back.
We don’t have a factory or big-name backers. Sam does all the work themself. If the Kickstarter does well, Sam plans on hiring local help to help create the dice. We are united in our commitment to help provide jobs for queer and neurodivergent peoples, to make quality dice. Our product will always be handmade, and always locally made. By supporting us, your money isn’t going to a big corporation, but to uplifting local and small creators with I must reiterate REALLY COOL DICE.
If you can, please support our Kickstarter, and if you can’t afford that but still want to throw money at us, please consider Donating to our Patreon or Ko-Fi (included in the LinkTree below) we are planning on using as much as we can from that for advertising to help us spread the word further.
