| Nice to know I'm not alone. I've never even seen someone put an unofficial/unauthorized version on Etsy - which is pretty common among fandoms on Etsy. |

If you guys are interested, contact Garen Thal, who is the organizer of the pins. We're considering if/how to create more pins for people who missed out.
Cheers |

That's awesome news! I didn't have the money when the offer first went around. I'd love to have a Harper pin myself. I'll be messaging him. Thanks! |

| Delwa, did you know how much the pins were on the first go-around? Even if it's just a ballpark figure? |

I believe twenty was the magic number. |

Hello, everyone!
Just to consolidate a number of responses into one answer, here's the skinny:
There are no more Harper pins.
We came into the summer with only a handful of pins remaining, those went to two sets of people: people who were promised pins and never got them (administrators for the Candlekeep site, Eric Boyd, George Krashos), and folks that contributed to our GoFundMe effort to finance the 2014 pins beyond a certain threshold ($60). I honestly was not expecting the Harper pins to be so in-demand that anyone would pay such a generous amount, but they were, and I thank those individuals from the bottom of my twisted little heart.
But that leaves us with a dilemma. Kind folks paid a lot of money to obtain 2013 Harper pins that were in short supply in order to help us fund 2014 Lords of Waterdeep pins. It would be easy enough to do another round of donation/collection/production for the Harper pins, but then we are in the position of possibly invalidating that generosity--which I have no intentions of doing.
We may do something in the future, but there are other legal and logistical concerns beyond the finances that have to be worked out, first.

| Well, the last thing a Harper would want to do is invalidate the good deeds of another noble creature! Thanks, Garen! |
