This post contains important action required for everyone who backed Rolling Coast at any of these levels: VIP Explorer, Lifetime Explorer, and All-Access Explorer.
One of the benefits for backers in those tiers is that they will be thanked in the finished book. By default, this will use the name from your BackerKit profile, but if you want it to be displayed differently in the book, please let us know below!
👉 Here are the names exported directly from BackerKit and added to the book - they are displayed in the order they were exported. If you want to change your name as it is displayed, please comment on this post.
The list of backer names being thanked in the Rolling Coast book.
If your name looks correct: no action needed.
If you’d like something changed (spelling, capitalisation, or anything else), comment below with your changes.
If you’d prefer not to have your name in the book at all, that’s totally fine - please comment below to say so.
If your name isn't there, and you backed the project at the VIP Explorer, Lifetime Explorer, or All-Access Explorer level, please comment below to let us know.
If we don't hear from you, we'll assume your name is correct and use it as displayed. If you need any changes made, please comment as soon as possible.
Thank you!
See you at the game table, Matt & Hugh ManaDawn Tabletop × Ten Acre Games 🐭🎡 #RollingCoast #MausritterMonth #TTRPG
The time has officially come and Mausritter Month is over!
And boy oh boy! What a ride has been.
Hugh and I will send out a more detailed update in the days to come but wanted to take a couple moments this evening to say thank you to the 631 backers who made this happen!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much. We are so excited to bring this to you.
I wanted to show off some of the sticker illustrations for Mechritter in more detail. My favourite is the Park Trash one because I love the little water bottle helmet. Which one is yours?
Don't forget anyone who backs the project at any physical tier gets access to all the sticker sets we produce!
Hi everyone, I'm back with this month's update on our progress on Junk City.
Item Cards
We're nearing the finishing line in terms of getting everything ready, with only a few larger tasks outstanding. The focus this month has been on finishing the remaining adventures. All adventures bar one are fully laid-out, play-tested and ready for the final proof-reading & editing phase.
In the Truth Machine, you'll explore an ant-haunted printing machine, running automatically to print the Truth and only the Truth.
And 2 Remote 2 Control is now fully complete, with four race tracks to face down.
I've also been very busy completing all of the other things we need to do before the box set can go to print. Designing the box cover, finalising the guidebook and last but not least, compiling the Item & Condition card sheets for each adventure. There are 120 (!) unique illustrations for the multitude of trash, treasure and terrible conditions you can collect on your adventures through Junk City.
Pledge Manager Survey
We expect to have the Pledge Manager Survey out to backers by the end of next week! It has been more complex than anticipated with the group shipping, so that you so much for your patience while we make sure we have everything set up correctly. We will send out another update next week when surveys are sent out!
The text is almost done. It needs some proofreading, of course, but the only thing missing is the statblocks for the NPC athletes.
The layout is almost done, too. All sports were finished by the end of the campaign, but the introductory chapter and the new teams chapter will need some tweaking. So the layout should be done by May because...
Art progress
...Art is done! Last week, Elena Morgado finished all the interior art, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I'll show you a glimpse of the 8 characters she illustrated below.
Feathertail Triathlon
With the rules finished, the Flights of Fancy team is working on the layout and game board art. I have to tell you that the game is fun and hectic, and the layout and art are great!
I see you in the next month's update. I'll have good news to share with you for sure!
Despite my efforts, I have not been able to get the digital files finished on time. It turns out making a quite a lot of tiny illustrations takes quite a lot of time. I was hoping to get this done so I can get the digital release done before a trip I'm going on, but I've fallen short.
This doesn't affect the physical shipping date (the files are already with the printer), but it does mean the digital release will have to wait until I get back later this month. To tide you over during the wait, here are some mock-ups of both the new modules.
Thank you for your patience, and see you soon with the digital release.
In one massive packing spree, 80% of the books for physical fulfillment have been dropped off at the post office! Some have even been delivered already! If you live in the US or in a country that is not the UK or in the EU, you should have received a notification with your tracking number yesterday.
If you think you should have received a tracking number, but you have not, please look to make sure your pledge manager survey is complete and your credit card successfully paid for shipping. You can go here to check: https://the-barons-grip.backerkit.com/
For backers in the UK and EU, your books have a little longer way to go. First, they are headed to our friends at Heart of the Deernicorn, who will load them onto a pallet and ship them to the UK. There, our fulfillment partner Peregrine Coast Press will pack them up and ship them to you while dealing with GSPR and VAT. This does mean that there will likely be an extra few weeks before you get your games, but hopefully it also means you won't get hit with extra fees when you pick up your packages.
My Next Project: Out of the Iron Labyrinth
Out of the Iron Labyrinth
After the success of Mausritter Month, I am diving into a new group collab here on BackerKit: OSE Month 2026: Demons. My project for this event is Out of the Iron Labyrinth, a hell-escape-crawl designed for one player character.
As an extra "Thank You!" for your early support of Out of the Iron Labyrinth, anyone that backs in the first 48 hours will also receive The Mountain of Power, a pamphlet adventure for Old School Essentials created for the Appx. N Jam on itch.io in July, 2025.
The Mountain of Power
That's all for now! As always, thank you for your support!!
