The minute I heard the pre-order was available I purchased the Limited Edition set. Not just because I'm a Critter and believe strongly in all your work, even the stuff I'm not personally in to (because it still drips with quality and love). Not just because I believe strongly in the product because you've shown us every step of the way what the vision has been and that you were truly designing this thing the right way with community feedback. But also because I want to send a message with my dollars (greetings from the capitalist hellscape) that a company with heart and virtues not only has a place in this market, but can dominate it.
Even with that level of expectation I was completely blown away by what I saw when I opened it up.
I'm the kind of guy that gets emotional when I see a good film, animated series, or live stream. Not always directly because of the story itself, but because I'm a sucker for beautifully executed art. I become overwhelmed by feelings of vicarious pride in the craft. You know, just screaming on the inside, "You did it guys!" You did the thing and you did it so well that experiencing it feels momentus, and profound.
I've felt that way many times watching your content and it is exactly how I felt when I saw that no stone was left unturned when it came to ensuring the physical quality of every object in this set. The feeling then reverberates through every page and every card. From the art, to the emphatic insistence on inclusive play, to the very rules design itself proving the priority here is sharing stories with your friends.
So be proud you guys, you did the thing!
