IC FORM
To keep up to date with development and news about this
set, check out the Vala Supply discord!
Themed around one of my favorite chewy candies, this
ePBT set is sure to spread the same joy.
It features a
full dye-sub base kit, with grape-flavored alphas and
strawberry mods, as well as the option to pick and choose
your favorite look using the dye-sub accent kit.
Please
feel free to leave any feedback below in the comments, and I
hope you like it!

Kitting
**Thoughts behind kitting
**
More
Because this set uses full normal dye sub, I was
allowed to kit out a relatively expansive base kit,
including alice bars, ISO support, F13, among others.
Additionally, due to the inclusion of alternate Hiragana
alphas, I was able to cater to the 40s community by giving
support to a wide range of boards such as the Planck,
Preonic, and other 40s/ortho boards, simply by
purchasing the alternate alphas and the 40s kit. When these
two kits are paired with the spacebar kit, which includes 2x
3u bars as well as accented alice bars and a range of
6.25/7u bars, virtually any less-than-60 percent
keyboard can be kitted out without purchasing the base. Link

GB Date/Timeline
**Because
ePBT is redoing their reverse dye sub molds and this set
uses reverse dye sub in the accent kit, it would not be
possible to run this set until the molds are completed.
There is no specific timeline on when these molds will be
done, it could be anywhere between a couple months. We do
however know that they are on the last row, meaning it
should be sooner rather than later. I hope to run the set
soon after the molds are completed.
Accent kit has
changed to full dye sub. This is for a number of reasons.
First of all, it allows the set to run without waiting on
molds. Second of all, I believe that the black legends make
the accents easy to pair with other WOB and BOW sets. With
this, we are aiming for a GB date of early September.
