Just an update that due to the ongoing COVID situation our March subscription dice announcement and shipping will be delayed. The factory in China that was producing the March dice has come under a COVID lockdown and is unable to finish inking and deliver the dice until the lockdown is lifted. We expect this to delay the announcement into about the third week of March. In case the delay is longer than that we have asked the factory (a different factory) that is working on our April dice to accelerate delivery so they will be available in March as a...
