Hi everyone! I hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving (or, for those of you not in the US, just a fantastic weekend!)
It's been a while since we shipped everything from this project and so I wanted to check in and make sure there wasn't anyone with issues or who hadn't gotten their rewards yet. If there is, please reach out at [email protected] so we can get it taken care of!
Also, I just wanted to give a heads up that we're doing a holiday sale on our website, www.foambrain.com from now through Dec 22nd, and are doing a live stream sale tonight on Facebook for Cyber Monday.
Thank you all, as always, for supporting our projects. We've got a lot of cool projects coming up next year - so keep in touch! You can always reach me at [email protected].
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi everyone! We've reached the end of the journey for Enamel Pins Party, and it has been wonderful to share it with you all.
All of the orders for this project have shipped, and I know many of them have already been received. If you have any issues with your order or haven't gotten it by next week for US orders, or the end of November for overseas orders, please reach out and let us know. Similarly, if there are any issues with your order, please let us know so we can resolve them.
On behalf of everyone here at Foam Brain Games, I'd like to thank you all for participating in this project and for your support.
Finally, if you're wondering what we're up to next, we have a Kickstarter running called Chromatic Trays for full color wooden dice trays. This project will be shipping by December to deliver in time for Christmas and includes the ability to get custom trays. You can get more information here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foambrain/chromatic-trays
Thank you all,
Andrew

Hi everyone, I just wanted to stop in with a quick update. These are some photographs from our factory - our order is leaving today and shipping here via airmail. We're expecting it at the end of the week or the very beginning of next week - once we receive it, we will start shipping!
If you're one of the few people who still needs to fill out a survey, please do it ASAP since we're shipping so soon.
Thanks and, as always, please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do for you!

Molds!

Hi everyone! I wanted to check in quickly and show off a few things. First of all, thank you to everyone who filled out your backerkit survey so far! We're less than a month away from shipping, so I really appreciate it.
Secondly, I got some cool pictures from the factory and I wanted to share and give a bit of an insight into the pin making process. Below are the molds for a few of the pins we're making. You will notice there are 2 different kinds of molds - that's because some of our pins are going to be made of zinc alloy and some of brass, depending on how complex the design is and which parts are complex (you won't see the metal at all of course, it will be plated in a later step in the process).
As always, have a wonderful day,
Andrew
Tote Bags, Surveys, Pin Boards and Discord
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Aug 26, 2020 at 04:17:07 PM
Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I wanted to cover a variety of things in today's update.
1) We showed you the first tote bag design last week, but I wanted to show you the other one. Inspired by classic CRPGs, this bag is a great way to display your pins! Pledges at the $50 tier or higher will get one free or you can add additional tote bags for $6.
2) Surveys are starting to go out right now, using Backerkit. In order to test our survey, a very small # of surveys are going out then in a few hours the rest will go out. Because of the short timeline of this project, we would appreciate surveys filled out sooner rather than later so that we can decide on the pin run size. The molds are being finished in the next few days and we're excited to send these pins to production!
3) We added a new item, primarily for our retailers, but I also added it as available to everyone since I thought some people might like them to display pins. These are canvas boards with a custom printed design - the text at the top is custom printed, so you could put 'Andrew's Pin Collection' or something instead of the marketing text that's on them by default. They come in 4 different designs and are $10 and you'll be able to add them on Backerkit. They hold approximately 16 pins each.
4) Finally - Foam Brain is now on Discord! Feel free to join the Foam Brain Discord Community for information about upcoming Pin Bazaar events, pin trading, future Foam Brain website deals and Kickstarter, and just general RPG and gaming chat. You can join us at https://discord.com/invite/Hruw3VW
As always thank you all, and please reach out if you have any questions.
Andrew
