Hello backers! We've been quiet over here since the campaign ended a month ago, but we've been working on things, so wanted to check in and let you know what we've been up to.
Surveys:
Next week, we should be be sending out your campaign surveys, which you will receive as an email in your inbox (subject line will be something like "Response Needed — Get your reward for Charming Disaster: Double Album"). The survey will collect the info we need to fulfill your rewards, and will also give you a way to add additional items if you wish. Shipping won't be charged until later on when we're about to send out the rewards. Heads up we're using the platform BackerKit for our pledge management. You won't need to set up another account there, just enter your email address to access your survey.
New oracle card commissions:
We have now commissioned art for 12 new oracle cards from an exciting array of artists! We're hoping to have everyone's artwork in by October 1, then the divination guide text can be updated to incorporate the new cards, then we'll prepare graphic design files for the 2nd edition of the deck and the guidebook, plus the magnetic box.
Recording:
We had a recording session scheduled at the end of July and had big plans to track vocals and some other odds and ends for The Double, but instead...we came down with COVID. (Jeff tested positive when we were literally en route to the studio.) But our recording session was not a total loss—we were able to move forward a couple of other smaller projects that had been on the back burner, working remotely from the parking lot of the recording studio. It was a memorable session, to say the least—if you're one of our Patreon patrons, you can read the whole tale here.
Those tracks will be releasing this fall and we'll tell you more about them soon.
Tour plans:
And in IRL news, we're preparing for a busy tour season, starting with DragonCon in Atlanta this weekend and two weeks of shows in the second half of September! We've got more in store for October that aren't yet officially announced. Find out more (and come out and see us in the flesh!) at charmingdisaster.com/shows. We'll be playing some songs from The Double.
Thank you for listening and supporting!! XO Ellia & Jeff Charming Disaster

You, along with 351 others, helped us raise over $23k and easily brought this project over the finish line. We thank you from the bottom of our dark hearts for helping us put our nefarious plans into action!
When we get back from touring and recording, we will send out backer surveys to collect shipping, sizing information and all that fun stuff.

Oracle Card Wall Art! (exclusive new reward / add-on)

Dear Disasters:
We are just over halfway through this Kickstarter campaign (2 weeks to go), and we're over 85% of the way to our goal! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this happen.
In case you missed yesterday's announcement elsewhere, we wanted to make sure you know that we just added an exciting new reward to the campaign: wall art-sized prints of selected cards from the Charming Disaster Oracle Deck.
We've gotten a lot of requests for these, so we're happy to offer a selection of seven oracle card images, available exclusively through this Kickstarter, with the permission of the artists.
As a reward: A set of three prints is available as a new reward level. You get to choose any three of the seven images. Includes digital downloads of The Double and Time Ghost.
As an add-on: Individual prints of the seven images are also available as add-ons to any other physical reward. If you've already pledged and would like one, you can update your pledge any time before the campaign ends.
BEHOLD THEIR SPLENDOR:
This is a mockup of what the enlarged cards would look like on an imaginary wall.
Thanks again for your support!! Let us know if you have any questions.
XO Ellia & Jeff
New Reward Alert: Limited Edition Vinyl Test Pressings!
3 months ago
– Tue, Jul 02, 2024 at 06:14:34 AM
Hello everyone! We wanted to let you know that we just added two new items to this campaign's reward options: autographed vinyl test pressings for The Double and Time Ghost. Test pressings are created as part of the vinyl pressing process, and there are only 5 made for each album, so these are rare objects.
If you've already pledged and now you want a test pressing, you can change your reward selection any time before the campaign ends. Note the two new Autographed Test Pressing Bundles also include all items in the Quadruple Threat Bundle (a T-shirt, the double album on vinyl, a Deluxe Oracle Deck, and a tote bag). You can check out more details HERE.
Thanks so much to everyone who has backed this Kickstarter so far, and thanks for helping us get the word out too! We're getting closer and closer to our campaign goal, and we are truly grateful for your support.
