Fun Enhancing, Versatile, Beautiful, Healing Potion Dice Bottles that wont roll off the table (built for D&D 5e).
We are getting closer every day. Even today on my birthday, I’m devoted to getting your orders ready. We love and appreciate you all. Thanks again, and we are approaching the home stretch.
We would love to see you and your groups using, or posing with, your new Healing Potion Dice Bottles.
If you have them now, or when you get them, send us a photo and a positive note. We would like to post and share these on our website for everyone to see. The photos can be simple and fun or creative.
We are so proud to have you supporting us and would like to show the world how much your table likes them.

It will take us time to get these uploaded but the website is: DMDunn.com
We look forward to seeing you all!

The short answer is no.
We were able to get our initial commitment out as we expected. We were very happy to see how many of you backed us and pledged. As we mentioned in the Kickstarter, we are fulfilling all the extra orders on a first come first delivered basis. I am eager to get these to you too. However, I let my emotions of getting these made and sent out, out weigh the logic of how long it takes to hand make each and every bottle. I have slept very little while working feverishly on these. And Steve has been amazing with packaging, labeling and shipping multiple times a week.
We only want to send quality items out, and I'm pleased to see so many happy responses. With multiple remakes on top of the huge amount of bottles you guys ordered, we need a few more weeks to fulfill the last order on the list. We will still be sending them as we go. The go is just gonna last a little longer.
Again we are humbled a super thankful to all of you for your support and trust. Please hang in there a little longer.

As you all should know, we started shipping at the beginning of the month. Woo Hoo! Our first week we were able to deliver more than the equivalent of our original goal. Personally knowing how much it sucks being told a Kickstarter you backed will be late on delivering, my hopes were to fulfill everyone’s order by the end of August. I have had many nights staying up to 2:00am (even the occasional 4:00am) hand crafting every single bottle. Steve has also been amazing in organizing every order for delivery and taking care of packaging and delivery. We both want each and everyone of you to love your items when you get them. Because of this, we have identified close to 8 dozen bottles that need to be redone. Some of the bottles just have defects in the glass from when they were made. Others had issues with the resin. The resin was hot, to help reduce the amount of bubbles in them. Unfortunately, when they cooled they pulled away from the glass leaving air pockets between the colors and the glass. Just hinders the appearance some. Since you trusted us enough to deliver you something you and your friends would be proud to use, we feel it best to remake these. The down side is this will add at least another week or 2. I am already trying to complete 24 dozen per week. So adding 8 dozen more is impossible within the same time frame. We are still very proud of how quickly we are getting orders out to you. As we said in the campaign, we would deliver based on first ordered first delivered. Some of you may say 2 weeks past August is no big deal (which is part of why you all are so awesome), but I was really hoping to get them all made by then. As a fun side note: I see it as a fun challenge to keep making the bottles faster than Steve can package and ship them. 😁 But the final point is, we both are, have been, and are continuing our efforts to get these to you as soon as we can. Thank you again for your trust and support. We really do appreciate you!
Q: How do you eat a whale?
A: One bite at a time..
I'm reminded of this old saying as I get ready to head to the post office for the first of what will be many trips. :)
We've fulfilled 16 of 434 backers. That's 3.7%.. A long way to go, but we'll be knocking it down bite by bite.
I still have more jars and will be boxing and shipping more this week. Dusty will be hard at work throughout the next month cranking out more potion jars and we'll be feverishly working our way through all of your orders as quickly as possible.
A special thanks to Rob S of Sharpsburg , MD. He was backer #1 and I'm proud to say that his box is in the stack you see below. To the rest of you, a hearty thanks as well, both for your backing of the project, and for your patience as we get these delivered.
I'm learning which boxes to use, how best to wrap things to keep them safe and how to keep everything organized. I imagine it will start to go faster as I get the process nailed down.
I'll post more updates in the coming days with our progress.
Steve
