We're waiting on BackerKit approval

Apologies for the delay! We had a few issues with BackerKit and DriveThruRPG (BUT we eventually figured it all out - it's been a while since we've posted something through them, so we've had to remember how to set things up on the backend!)

We're just waiting on BackerKit approval, so check your emails in the next few days! We'll be releasing surveys out in stages, so if you don't see an email yet, fear not! It should get to you soon.

We'll be sending out the digital files through DriveThruRPG. If you want to get your digital version in time for Halloween, feel free to send us a message and we'll send the files over right away! You'll still get the link and files through DriveThruRPG later.

When you receive your BackerKit email, if you'd like to upgrade your pledge, you can click on Switch your Pledge Level under the Get Started! button.

Text circled: Switch your Pledge Level under Get Started!

From there, you will be given the option of changing your pledge to a higher one.

Retailers: We will be emailing you separately to organize shipping!

May Update!

Hi everyone! We just wanted to give you all a quick update as to how our progress is going.

  • The first draft of the coloring book is finished and ready to go into editing, before layout.
  • We are in the process of editing the rulebook.
  • We have almost all of our scenarios in. Once those are all in, they'll be going to editing as well.
  • We have new items planned for the rooms. We'll share those with all of you when we're closer to finalizing that.

The great news is that we will be moving forward with hiring all of our stretch goal scenario writers! However, we'll still need to find a bit more funding before we can get our stretch goal artists onboard...which brings us to BackerKit! We are working on getting that set up and we should have that ready as a link for everyone to access in the coming weeks.

Once we have the BackerKit ready and the digital version ready, digital and physical backers will be receiving the digital copy! Please note that our target date for that is still September 2022 as noted on the Kickstarter, so things are still on track!

As some of you may know already, there are global supply chain issues, so the physical version may take some time to get into our hands. We are hoping for everything to get to us by February 2023 (as mentioned on the main page), but we just wanted to give you all a heads up in case things take a while.

In the meantime, if you are interested in any of our other games (that are not spooky), here is our website and a few of our games that we have available for purchase and are ready to be shipped out now!

In Questlings: RPG, players will play as two characters, one as your kid form and one as the Inner Hero your child aspires to be! The game guides players and game moderators through a map accompanied with a storybook to give them a framework for roleplaying and building the story and making it easy for players new to RPGs and new GMs to run a game as well! It's great for kids who want to get into roleplaying games.

In Battle of the Boy Bands, 3 to 5 players take on the roles of producers in the pop music industry and must build boy bands to compete in special events. The player with the most points at the end of six rounds wins! It's great for that person in your life who loves boybands!

Lair is a competitive building game where you are in charge of constructing a 60’s era, underground HQ — inside a volcano, no less — for your nefarious boss. It has a Euro-influenced, worker placement mechanic where you have two types of workers: the lowly henchmen that you use to claim a room, and the boss that can command henchmen to activate the ability of the room. You spend Work Tokens to command a henchmen, but if you command another player’s henchmen, you have to give that player the Work Token. It also has an expanding score track that doubles as the elevator shaft, which affects your build options and game strategy in interesting ways. It's great for evil villains!
