This is it! The last week of fulfillment. We've got a chunk of packages left and Brad, Key, and Jung (our amazing warehouse team) have been working their butts off getting through these orders. Everyone will receive their tracking number by the end of the week. We did have a few addresses come through with an error, so please check your email for an email from @onipress.com. We'll need to correct those errors before shipping. It was only a handful though, so if you didn't receive en email, just keep an eye out for tracking and don't worry! We'll make sure each Mountain Chamomile arrives safe and sound!
Also, you folks have been sending us photos of Mountain Chamomile out in the world! We've loved seeing these, so keep them coming. Send us photos on social and feel free to tag @onipress.
As a final thank you for all your amazing love and support during this campaign, Kay wanted to give you these Tea Dragon tea jar labels! Organize your tea cupboard with the most adorable tea labels ever. We're working on our tea cupboards now.
Again, you folks are simply the best. We can't wait for the next amazing campaign,
Amber O'Neill, Kay O'Neill and the entire Oni / Lion Forge team

By the way, did we mention...

Holy plushies, I know you folks have all been SUPER patient and we just want to thank you again. This was an absolute nail biter, and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. LOOK AT HIS FACE!
While we've been waiting, we took the time to prep hundreds upon hundreds of shipments, so we're going to give them an air high five and send them on their way! Keep an eye out for tracking because you'll be notified as soon as we get to your package!
Birdwatcher is an absolutely beautiful game by game designer Zakir Jafry and scientific illustrator Lauren Helton. We know you all have an appreciate for beautiful things, so we think this will be right up your alley!
Birdwatcher is a fast, competitive game where players are rival wildlife photographers on a hunt to snap photos of the elusive and illustrious birds of paradise.
Players will lure birds to their tree from the jungle, take photos of the birds in their tree, and publish their findings. The photographer with the most citation points at the end of the game is awarded the Global Geographic Photographer of the Year, and is the winner!

Our plushies were picked up by the truck!
THANK ALL THE PLUSHIE GODS. That means they're finally heading to the warehouse. We've prepared a bunch of boxes, so as soon as they arrive, we can start shipping these little guys out! We should have an ETA from the manufacturer shortly, but the last update was that they could arrive at our warehouse anywhere in the next week. We'll let you know as soon as they get here and send pics of their squishy faces!
Become a Birdwatcher!
This is absolutely perfect timing because that means we get to share our other good news with you. We'll be launching our next Kickstarter this month! Journey into the jungle with our new board game, Birdwatcher.
Birdwatcher is a beautiful, compelling game where players are rival wildlife photographers on a hunt to snap photos of the most elusive and illustrious birds-of-paradise! We encourage you to go follow our Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page!
Tea Dragon Coloring Pages For You!
You folks have been absolutely amazing during this campaign and to show our appreciation, here's some Tea Dragon coloring pages from Kay O'Neill! Kay's art is incredibly special for many reasons, but one thing that makes Kay's art unique is that it contains no lines! Kay customized these, so that you'd be able to color these pages and bring them to life on your own.
THANK YOU!
