Hello everyone !
Just a quick and important reminder:
Tomorrow, we will be locking all orders in BackerKit.
If you haven’t yet completed your survey, now is the time.
Please take a moment to:
a) Confirm your shipping address
b) Finalize your add-ons
c) Choose your color options (Knightsplate Silver or Sunburst Gold)
Make sure everything in your pledge is exactly as you want it.
Once orders are locked, we will begin finalizing production based on these numbers, and changes will no longer be possible.

Pledge Manager Closing SOON & Vanguard Vault in Sunburst Gold
about 1 month ago
– Wed, Mar 04, 2026 at 12:49:57 AM
Hello Friends,
We wanted to share a quick update and a small reminder as we move forward with production.
Pledge Manager — About 15 Days Left
The Pledge Manager will be collecting funds in roughly 15 days. If you have not yet completed your survey, now is the time to do so.
Please take a moment to visit the Pledge Manager and make sure everything in your pledge is finalized. There you can:
a) Review and confirm your shipping address
b) Add any extra add-ons you might want
c) Choose the color of your Vanguard items (Knightsplate Silver or Sunburst Gold)
Completing your survey helps us lock in the final numbers so we can ramp up production with confidence. There are only about 15 days left, so please make sure your pledge is finalized.
Production Progress
Production continues to move steadily.
We have completed most of the Knightsplate Silver sets, which means a large portion of the campaign is already well underway. The final step now is determining the exact numbers of the Sunburst Gold components based on the results of the BackerKit surveys.
Once those numbers are confirmed, we will proceed with the final stage of production for the Sunburst items.
A First Look at Sunburst Gold Vault
Speaking of Sunburst options, here is something fresh from the foundry.
We recently finished one of the Vanguard Vaults in Sunburst Gold, and we have to say, it turned out even more impressive than we expected.
At the beginning, we weren’t completely sure whether we should offer the Vanguard collection in two color variations. But now, seeing the vault finished in Sunburst Gold, we are very glad that we made that decision.
Take a look.
We hope to place these beautiful pieces in your hands as soon as possible.
Thank you again for being part of the Vanguard.

Through the Pledge Manager you will be able to:
• Confirm your shipping details
• Select your dice color
• Add extra Vanguard sets or accessories
• Complete any outstanding balance (if applicable)
Take your time when filling it out, but we kindly recommend completing your survey as soon as possible so we can move forward smoothly with fulfillment.
As always, thank you for your trust and support.

Production Update, Pledge Manager & VIP Discounts
2 months ago
– Sun, Jan 25, 2026 at 04:19:32 AM
Hello everyone !
We wanted to share a quick update with you all.
Production Progress
Production is moving smoothly and at a very good pace.
At the moment, we already have more than 400 Vanguard sets in hand with most of them being completely finished and others in various stages of production.
From the very beginning, we made the decision to pre-produce the majority of the sets needed to fulfill your pledges. This preparation is paying off now, as it allows us to move forward confidently and efficiently.
Even with the rising prices of metals and minerals caused by the current unstable geopolitical situation, your Vanguard sets will not be affected at all. Most of the required material has already been secured and is already being worked on.
Dice Trays & Vaults
We’ve also received the ethically sourced American walnut that will be used for the Vanguard Dice Trays and Dice Vaults.
Right now, the wood is being segmented and sanded smooth, preparing it for one of the later stages of production: the CNC carving and fitting of velum and other metal parts. Everything is progressing exactly as planned.
Pledge Manager
The Pledge Manager will open in a few days.
We are currently polishing a few final details with our international postal hub partners.Other than that, it is ready to go.
We are still hoping to hit the Late January deadline for the opening of the pledge manager but there is a chance we will move this to early February.
Once it opens, you’ll be able to:
Confirm and modify your pledge
Add extra items and add-ons
Provide your shipping address
Everyone will receive an invitation, so please stay tuned.
VIP Backers & Discounts
We also want to clarify how VIP discounts will be handled.
Originally, we intended to apply these discounts directly through the Pledge Manager. However, due to system limitations, this is not possible. Apologies for the confusion but this is the first time we are implementing a discount of this type. Instead we will be issuing the discount directly through Kickstarter.
Here’s how it will work:
All VIP backers will receive a refund to the card used on Kickstarter, equal to the VIP discount on the Vanguard Vault, Dice Tray, and Vanguard Throne and Jewels.
These refunds will be issued once the final “pledge over time” payments are completed, which we expect to be mid to late February.
Please expect the refund to appear on your account during that period.
If you are a VIP backer and haven’t yet added a Vault, Dice Tray, or Throne, rest assured:
the discounted VIP prices will still be available to you inside the Pledge Manager.
Once again, thank you for your trust, your patience, and your continued support.
We’re excited to keep moving forward and we’ll see you in the next update.

Friends,
The Vanguard Kickstarter campaign was a complete success. We are honored, humbled, and deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in us and for the love you have shown our work.
We are already hard at work preparing your new Vanguard dice. We truly believe these pieces will stay with you forever — that one day, you will proudly place them in the hands of young and hungry adventurers taking their first steps into the wonderful stories of our hobby.
This is not a marketing line. We genuinely believe this, and it inspires us every single day.
Once the Pledge Manager is ready, we will inform every one of you.
Until then, rest assured that each of your dice is shaped by hand and given all the attention it deserves.
— The Ember Forge Team
