Greetings adventurers, it is with a heavy heart and a swirl of nostalgia that we announce the closure of our shop. For seven years, we've journeyed alongside you through dungeons deep and stories untold, equipping you with loot to help run your games but as with any great adventure, all things must come to an end.
In recent times, the toll of rising shipping and manufacturing costs as well as the increased cost of borrowing capital for our inventory purchases have had a large impact on our small business. The logistics of keeping our goods flowing from the hands of the artisans to your gaming tables have grown more perilous with each passing day. And while we have braved these challenges, there is another storm cloud on the horizon we cannot ignore—the shifting winds at Wizards of the Coast. It is clear there is a strong push to steer the game more into the digital realms and with that will likely come increasingly closed rulesets and licenses. While we would love to continue to fight for a more traditional pen and paper play style, we don't have the same passion or risk tolerance we did seven years ago. Don't despair though, there are still many other great creators and heroes out there that will carry on the fight.
So, we close the door not in defeat, but with the pride of knowing we helped forge countless adventures, battles, and memories. Your imaginations kept our fires burning bright, and for that, we are forever grateful.
You may still see more products from us in the future, maybe for the new edition or perhaps for new systems entirely, but if that happens they will come as one time product runs via Kickstarter.
Until we meet again in another realm, may your dice always roll true, and may your quests be filled with wonder.
Thanks for 7 amazing years!

I hate to see this happen to such incredibly talented creators. Hopefully you can rise again in the future to continue your creative journey. And thanks for the wonderful products you did create that I still use with all my gaming sessions!

I hate to see you go, but I can only imagine how difficult it must be to run a small shop like your own. I hope that with a long rest and some adventuring with your party, you will find a new path towards keeping your shop afloat. Consider looking towards the independent gaming crowd as a possible new path forward. Either way I’d like to thank you for your efforts and amazing products. Happy trails, my friends.

Sad to see you go, you had some of the most thoughtfully useful products for in-person tabletop. Best wishes on the next endeavor!

I’m sadden to hear. You have been apart of my games and will continue to be for many more. Thank you for all of your awesome products!

Major bummer, but I understand the costs of inflation and how nasty things have been on small businesses. I do not think D&D is going to be more digital than it has been … Literally everyone I know still plays at a table with pencil and paper, AND your druid cards!

I am saddened to hear of your closure but I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful things that you made, both that I used and gave as gifts. Thank you!

This is such a bummer, but I understand. You were my first D&D notebook!
