Just a Quick Progress and BackerKit Update...
8 months ago – Sun, Mar 24, 2024 at 04:59:28 PM

March Update

Thank you all so much for your patience. We have nearly completed the pledge management page and pre-sales store on Backerkit. It took a little longer as we were waiting for funds to be released from Kickstarter and then we are waiting for the invoices with Backerkit (for paid promo) to clear and then we can launch the Backerkit page. We believe it will go LIVE later this week, so stay tuned! I will post here again soon!

Folks who missed the KS campaign will be able to purchase almost all the content from the KS in the pre-sale store!

Update on Development

• Fernando Salvaterra is doing all (40+) maps and is nearly 75% done and let me tell you, THEY ARE FREAKING RAD!!!
• We are 80% done with layout
• 95% done with edits
• We are nearly wrapped with our Blister Critters crossover
• The Intro Adventure is DONE!!!
• Digital Companion Tools are nearly complete
• Dungeon Synth is done too!

We are cruising along and will easily hit the June deadline for digital release. Once we release the digital we will also open a comments page to help us fine tune and clean up anything we missed!

As a bonus, here are some screenshots of the WIP layout... 

Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions. And again, thanks for your patience!

BACKERKIT COMING SOON!

Hey all! Happy February and happy Zine Month 2024! We are still beyond excited about the success of our project! We are so thankful! It is due to this joy and desire to keep putting the BEST product forward that we haven't launched our BackerKit yet.

We have been receiving emails from retailers and folks who missed out on the KS campaign and we have let them know the BackerKit is coming soon. To all of our backers here, we also wanted to let you know that pledge management will begin shortly. We are currently getting all the details lined up and we are curating a bunch of Mausritter third-party product to go in the BackerKit store as additional add-ons! Stay tuned in the weeks ahead!

Want a preview of some of the spreads?

Of course you do!

PROMO TIME!

We have teamed up with the amazing folks bringing you Blister Critters! This amazing game is currently funding on Kickstarter, please go show them some love! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wythe/blister-critters - theyhave 14 days left!

Blister Critters by Anthony Grasso, co-developed by Wythe Marschall, is an innovative and surreal TTRPG in which players take on the role of small animals (Critters) in a radiation-blasted, eco-apocalyptic, human-free Saturday-morning cartoon! 

Blister Critters uses a fast, animal-focused version of the Grit System that powers the sci-fi game Stillfleet, including rules for finding and hacking all of the Stuff (capital S) that humanity let behind. 

The book comes with 66 animals, tons of mutations, rules for GMing a cartoon show, and more. You can also pick up a the Blister Critters Boxed Set, which includes 48 cards featuring Beasts (dangerous, bigger-than-Critter mutant animals) and Bliffs (animated Stuff), stickers, dice, the Tons-o-Stuff Mega-Poster, and the Book of Ad-Libs. 

Help us bring a very fun and timely game to life! Stretch goals fund more useful and beautifully designed components in every boxed set. Just look at Tony’s amazing art!

Remember I said we teamed up...

That is right. Myself, Tony, and Wythe put our brains together to bring both Tomb of a Thousand Doors and Blister Critters a crossover adventure that will be published in both campaigns, with stats for each game. We will post more about this soon, but for now please go back this cool project!

Who doesn't want another box set!

More MAUSRITTER CONTENT to support!!!

A Deck of Dungeons and Treasures is a print-at-home digital zine collection featuring a deck-based dungeon generation system aimed for solo role-playing with Mausritter. 

Get your zines and more info by clicking the link below:

Antonio Buch - author of A Deck of Dungeons & Treasures is also an editor and contributor to Tomb of a Thousand Doors. Please go support this amazing supplement!

Tiny Fables is a sandbox-style adventure for Mausritter set in an old-growth forest warped by fae magic. Echoing the themes of classic folklore and fairy-tales, this module confronts players with the narrow distinction between warmth and darkness, cruelty and whimsy, and danger versus reward.

Those who answer the call to adventure will need to overcome impossible odds by relying on their cleverness, courage, and most trusted allies. Will they become the heroes of their own fables? Or will they prove themselves fools in a cautionary tale? The difference between the two fates is razor thin. Regardless of the outcome, it's sure to make for a great story.

Back it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/josiahmoore/tiny-fables

Josiah Moore - author and illustrator of Tiny Fables is an artist and contributor in Tomb of a Thousand Doors - so please share the Mausritter love! Only 7 days left!

PROJECT FUNDED and WEEKEND OVER!

WE DID IT!!!!

Sorry for not posting our EXTREME gratitude right away, it was my intention, but I was so genuinely overwhelmed and joyous about this project I just needed to kick back, turn off, and celebrate with family.

That said, I ate a nice home-cooked steak dinner as the final minutes of the KS wrapped up and I was amazed! Within the last couple hours ove $5000 more came in to support this AMAZING project!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Here is the road ahead:

• BackerKit and pledge management will open soon (STAY TUNED)
• There will be lots more from ManaDawn Tabletop Games and Bernpyle Press available as add-ons in BackerKit
• For those who missed the campaign, we will be doing presales in BackerKit as well
• RETAILERS, please reach out to [email protected] to inquire about wholesale pricing!
• On our end, we are working hard to wrap all of the digital content in the next month or so. We are roughly 60% done with all the text, edits, layout, and art - so as soon as that is done we will get you all the digital content
• Once the final product is complete in digital form, our product partners, Longpack, will get to work!

We are so excited for the road ahead!

Again, if you have any questions - Please reach out!

9 Hours Left!
10 months ago – Fri, Feb 02, 2024 at 10:06:20 AM

For any who haven’t backed yet, Tomb of a Thousand Doors has 9 hours left on its Kickstarter campaign!!! Go snag this now! The digital level, $20 (which gets digitals of almost all the stretch goals), is a steal of a deal! After the campaign is complete the digital will sell on itch.io for $25, so snag it at the best price now.

You will be able to add any physical items you want during Backerkit pledge fulfillment. Also if you miss the campaign, we will have presales in Backerkit as well.

Once fulfillment begins, we will sell the books retail for ~$55 and the GM Screens for ~$25, so the KS is also the best over price for both of these ($65). As of now, there are no plans to print more boxes, so if you want that - KS and Backerkit is for you!

Again, on behalf of the whole team and this amazing community, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
