Hey all!! This is it!! We've done it!!! 226 pages of PURE MAGIC have been laid out and sent to your inboxes, as well as the printable maps, and a HUGE Black Comix Bundle for your holiday reading!!! If you don't get an email from Backerkit about your download stuff, feel free to message us and we'll resend the link to your survey. (but that's where the downloads are located if you know where to find it) :) We hope you love the book, and enjoy playing the game, and we can't wait to make more of these for you!!

Next: We have sent the file off to Printlore and we hope to get the books printed by Feb-March, same as the dice production. We have also handed off our brick of a book to the Sigil team to start getting that ROLL20 CONVERSION READY!!! 

Happy Holidays and here's to an awesome 2023!!! 

PROGRESS UPDATE! DIGITAL BOOKS OUT THIS COMING WEEK!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Dec 21, 2022 at 03:19:54 PM

Hey all!!! We've had some bumps in the road, but the final PDF of the book, as well as the Black Comix Bundle, will be available for ALL BACKERS this coming week. I'll make another update when you can grab it off of Backerkit, but you should also get an email from them provided your survey has been filled out.  I'll also be sending out final cameo art to those awesome backers, and everything else will be sent off to order. The final book is 228 pages, so we hope it was worth the wait! ;) 

Then, we send the file to Sigil for our Roll20 conversion, and to the printer for PRINTING!!! We hope to see the final Roll20 product, the dice, and the printed book sometime in March.

Can't wait for you all to read AND PLAY in The Sundering: The Nation Beneath our Feet sandbox!

Excellent Progress!!

Hey guys!!! So we've ordered dice, and have been told that the turnaround time has changed to four-five months on those due to shortages/etc (which is past the delivery date we'd planned, of course, but that seems to be the norm nowadays...) but we'll keep you up to date on how it's going and send pics! :) 

The book is trucking along nicely. We're working with Sigil's Ian Eller to get our cameo stat blocks just right, and with Sigil's Amy Marshall to get everything set up properly for Roll20! In the meantime, here's some more cool concepts and art coming along for the book: 

Concept 'sketch' by Kaion Luong

Concept by Jon Kutzer

Painting in progress by Katy Rewston

More city concepts!!

While you wait, please also take the time to check out a friend of ours' brand new TTRPG campaign!! Jason Duff is creating HEROES AND HARDSHIPS, with an INCREDIBLY priced early bird tier for a 248-page book that only has 15 hours left to go!!!:  BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!!

A Universal RPG System using d10 dice pools that supports any genre. With hundreds of options, create any character you can imagine. Guys, this book is beautiful. It's comprehensive. It has a new, simplified ruleset that has been playtested extensively! 





Backerkit Surveys!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 19, 2022 at 09:15:11 PM

Hey all!! Backerkit surveys have been sent out, so if you haven't gotten one, feel free to message us or email at [email protected] and we'll send you a link for that. Don't forget that if you're getting a cameo, we need your information by September 20th, this coming Tuesday, to make sure we have time to get all of your stuff written and art completed! 

Here's some of the art that's gotten churned out as we work on assembling this AMAZING book for you: 

And a quick plug for some other projects we love: 

ZOMBIES WE'RE HUMAN TOO - BACK IT HERE NOW! With incredible zombie stories by Joe Davison of Stranger Things fame and Jonathan Hedrick, with art by our fave, Stan Yak, as well as Stefano Cardoselli, this book boasts 24 pages of BRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS! Can we help them get to goal? :) 

And DRUMSTICKS OF DOOM, BACK IT HERE NOW! Let's help them hit goal! 

When Black Sabbath (not the Beatles) became the world’s most famous band, the universe was changed, musically and otherwise. Lost arts, like Alchemy, were made common, schools taught about transfiguration and alternate science, demons were summoned and some stuck around.

Lana LOVES music. She has played in bands all through high school and now, in college, she still plays in her ex’s fledgling metal band. She's finishing up the best practice yet when they are drawn into a spiritual battle to keep metal on the top of the charts.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! BACKERKIT SURVEYS COMING SOON!!
