Hello everyone!
Varun here. Super quick update here.
Starting with... My goodness, y'all IMMEDIATELY took up all those custom wood boxes.
So, I ran around yesterday and pulled some strings. We managed to get 15 more boxes!
So if you want one, make sure you get one before they're out -- AGAIN!
But otherwise, if you're around GenCon, you can see the Deck in action by
signing up for a game of Call to Power! Or see the deck in person at our Booth #1217!
If you're pledged, come by and get some freebies!
Just four days left in the campaign! More is yet to come...
Final Week! BRAND NEW ADD-ON + PLEDGE TIER!

Hey everyone!
Varun here. We're almost at the end of our campaign here and I just wanted to say again: thank you so much for helping to make this project a reality. It's been incredible to receive such great support from folks like you.
As we wrap things up, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about some of our brand-new add-ons and pledge tiers!
Firstly, we've added a new Digital-only add-on for collaborator zines. Of course, anyone who gets a physical zine, also gets it digitally, but now there's an option for folks who only want it digitally.
We've added a new pledge tier!
This new bundle is specifically for those superfans: The Destined Bundle. Specifically, this bundle is the culmination of a lot of big and small fortunes, allowing us to create a small number of extremely premium stained wood deck boxes to match the overall Deck.
But more than just the Wooden Deck box, we've also added a promise to this tier: that any future collaborator zine we create FOR THE NEXT YEAR, will automatically be sent to you as well.
We're still working out exactly how many of these ultra-premium handmade boxes we're making, but for now, THERE'S 10 DESTINED BUNDLES AVAILABLE. After those run out, not sure if we can add more, but we'll try... If you're interested, leave a comment or grab a bundle! It helps us push to make it happen!
Last Two Weeks To Get The Deck -- Pledge Today & Unlock a Bonus Zine!

Heya folks,
Varun here. We're doing an awesome job, we just blasted through another Stretch Goal!
That means a brand new poll to vote for another Zine, just as we close out the last one!
To recap, thanks to our last poll, we'll now have
TWO D&D 5E ZINES for everyone to choose from, thanks to the last goal!
But wait, there's more!
If we can get just
13 more backers by the end of Monday, July 20, we'll ALSO make a Shadowdark Zine by Storyteller's Forge! (Yes, we can extend the deadline one more day).
If you haven't pledged, this is the time. It helps a ton with the algorithm and making sure we can do some even more awesome things. Even just the push so far has helped with our momentum a lot. Keep it up -- give the project a share to anyone you know who might like some shiny new cards!
Without y'all, none of this would happen. Expect an update on Tuesday -- only you can decide if its a celebration one or not!
Change Fate & Unlock A Bonus Zine This Week!
3 months ago
– Tue, Jul 14, 2026 at 07:23:49 AM
Heya folks,
If you didn't hear, thanks to everyone's contributions, we're able to make another Deck Zine! The poll is live now to decide what game system we're writing in and which publisher friend of ours is doing the writing!
So if you haven't already, vote for that next Zine! The poll ends today.
But here's the thing: it looks like D&D 5E is getting a 2nd Zine -- rather than a new system. But as some of you said, it would be cool to get another new system in the mix. So, the team and I discussed. We came up with a bit of a way to do both.
We're only about 10 new Backers away from the next Stretch Goal and another Zine.
But, we're all Weavers of Fate. So, help us change Destiny. If we can hit 500 backers by the end of this week, we'll do a Zine for BOTH D&D 5E AND SHADOWDARK (or whichever Zine is in 2nd place when the vote ends!) -- PLUS THE STRETCH GOAL ZINE.
SPREAD THE WORD!
And in case you're not sure how to help, here's some ideas you can do right now:
- Post the campaign in your Gaming Discord
- Tell your friends about the project
- Send the campaign to your favorite sub-reddit
And to make it even easier, here's a copy-pasteable blurb (but make it your own!):
Backed an indie TTRPG zine project called The Deck of Fates -- gorgeous system-agnostic oracle decks + zines for 5E, Shadowdark, and more. They're close to unlocking bonus zines this week. Worth a look: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/amoirais/the-deck-of-fates-an-oracle-deck-for-ttrpgs
500 may seem like a lot, but it's really not. If every one of us sent a out, we'd hit that number in a single day. Trust me.
You might be wondering, "why does 500 backers matter?" In short, it changes the manufacturing price points just enough, that we can squeeze out another Zine from the savings. But also, it breaks us back into the algorithms and keeps the campaign moving -- which helps even more!
Y'all have been awesome in getting us this far. So I know y'all can make this happen.
Let's seize Destiny, together.

Box & Deck Reveal & Last Chance For The Mid-Campaign Bonus!

– Thu, Jul 09, 2026 at 06:11:39 AM
Heya folks,
Varun here again!
Today, I got to open the most anticipated package of the year (at least for me): a box of 10 "final" Decks. Not just samples, but the real deal, through and through.
So, naturally, the first thing to do is to share that with you folks! Because this new, foiled, magnetic box is only possible thanks to you! Really, this deck would have been so much less awesome without you guys. So check out this video to see everything that you made happen!

Want to see the cards more up-close? Check out the new
"The Deck" section on the page and let us know what you think! What's your favorite card? What are you most excited for?
And if you haven't already... make sure you get your pledge in!
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR THE MID CAMPAIGN REWARD!
That's all for now!
Thanks for all the support in making this stuff possible! None of it would work without you.
