Spellcraft Tier - $100

This tier is for our supporters who really want to go above and beyond.

As thanks, we'll send you everything in the mail box edition, PLU some custom, pre-collaged cards hand-made by members of our team.
The PDF, the book, the kraft paper journal, the deck of cards and the stickers are shown, as well as a card with green speckling on the edges, it used to be some ACE but now is covered with washi tape, striped with torn paper, collaged with the word "cool" cut out from a magazine, and a piece of a pokemon charizard card has been cut and pasted onto the card.

Mailbox Set - $60

Don't call it a box set, it's just everything you need to play, sent right to your mailbox.

One A6 journal, a deck of cards, a physical and digital edition of the game, plus a stamp-style sticker set of seasonal dragons.
A PDF icon sits behind the pink Bonds Between zine. covering the cover is a kraft paper brown A6 notebook, a deck of cards with the ACE of spades peeking out, and floating in front of those are four stamp shaped stickers. The edges are scalloped and white, and then inside there is art of four different dragons each associated with a different season. The left summer dragon is orange and looks like a horned lizard napping under a book like a small tent, on a bookshelf with fairy lights hanging above as they sleep. The second dragon, the spring dragon is frilled and has a bright green scale color. they are sitting in a blue birdbath looking back over their shoulder at us surrounded by chamomile flowers. The third dragon, a winter dragon, is blue and has horns like a reindeer, they are sitting on a cassette tape which is almost as large as they, and hold portions of the tape in their mouth. They sit on a pink fuzzy rug near a large window viewing snow. The fourth dragon is long and coppery, with large leaf like ears, and is sitting in a chipped terracotta cup. surrounded by vines and leaves.

"Physical Tier, heading on top of a torn receipt with blue lines. The red handwritten text beneath on the lines reads "1 (checkmark) A beautiful, 30-page softcover copy of Bonds Between, 2 (checkmark) Everything in the Digital Tier." A pink paper clip is holding the PDF icon onto the receipt and next to that is a tip down look of the book, the cover of which is a dimmer pink, almost like pink and brown mixed, with the title Bonds Between, and an illustration that makes the flat cover of the book appear to have a slit in it, with cards and fauna and a dragon tail poking out.

To start a game of Bonds Between one must alter a hand of cards to represent their staring hoard

What would you create as the starting point for your hoard deck?
A bunch of altered playing cards

Collect a cozy hoard represented by a deck of cards, then wreck it in the name of dragon magic. With the help of a bonded dragon, cast spells to bring life back to your run-down lair!
