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!
Overall, things are moving along very smoothly and I remain confidently on track to meet the upcoming deadlines. A portion of the content has already advanced into the editing stage. At the same time, the visual assets are taking shape and the copy is coming together. I can’t wait to share the completed work with you soon. As usual, I’m sharing some visual elements that will be part of the zines; I hope you like them.
Thanks for your support, I'll be in touch soon with more progress.
Hi everyone! We've been working hard this month on finishing off the guidebook for Junk City. It's a densely-detailed setting, with so many nooks and crannies to explore and mysteries to solve. Even without the adventure modules, the Junk City setting guidebook could act as a great campaign starting point.
And we're not forgetting the many mice and other creatures who inhabit the City. Each district includes a guide to the notable residents.
And on top of this, we including a full set of tables for generating new city NPCs, and for rolling up new city-born player mice when your mice inevitably succumb to Junk City's many dangers.
Thanks for your patience, we'll be in touch soon with more progress and more exciting things to share.
Joey here. Tiger Wizard and I are very happy with our progress and we have no worries about delivering on time. We’ve been meeting regularly to make sure this a great experience for you. The paint is flying and the text is flowing. I think you will be very happy with what is to come.
Hey everyone, this is Kayla again. It's been a few months since our last update, what have we been working on in that time?
Yanahn has finished the stretch goal sticker sets (Lunar New Year and Christmas) and also updated the base sticker sets. Here's a preview of the fully assembled Christmas mech. You'll be able to find the pieces to put this together in the City of Pound at the right time of year.
Speaking of stickers Laurie got us quotes for the sticker sheets with a material that will allow them to be peeled off and reapplied. Gustavo is working on touching up the images you would have seen in the campaign.
I've finished the starting hexes (and entries) of the high street map. Over the course of a campaign the GM will roll to see how stores fare. Closers and new openings mean the map will change throughout play. Here's a preview of the map at the start.
(If you're a Titanic backer who hasn't replied to my email mentioned in our last update you still have time to get back to me. Your suggested store will be part of the shops that can open mid-game, as is the case for some ideas I've already take that felt like they fit there better than the beginning.)
I've also been working on the book's adventure sites. I have floor plans for the majority and a first draft of a whole site for TS Browns. TS Browns is a recently rebranded stationery shop. It was formerly inhabited by the Bank of Voles but they abandoned it during the closure. An upstart gang of house mice called the Stationers are trying to claim the turf, while rumours indicate the office supplies can be converted to powerful pieces for mechs. My work was slowed by a multi-week issue with a lack of hot water and a notification of a date I'll have to move by later this year, but still I'm happy with the writing I've done.
TS Browns Adventure Site
We've been taking things at a reasonable pace since the start of the year but in all likelihood our planned summer release is still a reasonable objective. If that changes, for whatever reason, we'll update you with a clearer picture. For the record surveys won't go out until we are close to fulfilment so we can get the most accurate data.
Long time no see! Sorry for keeping you in the dark since the end of the campaign 🙏 Mausritter Month was kind of a pause for a lot of other things in my life, and they all came crashing back when it ended.
Anyway, the work done paid out, and Olympia's monks are setting everything up for the Mausolympics.
Zine progress
By the end of the campaign, the text was 90% done. What's left? The teams' excerpts and the athletes' stats. That's it. Then, a revision of the introductory chapter—and an editorial review, of course.
Art progress
We're almost done here:
Sarabel's maps were finished during the campaign.
Last January, Francisco also finished all the paper minis.
As per the interior illustrations, Elena is waiting for the instructions for the seven champions' illustrations. Every other illustration is done!
The backers can see the new art at the end of this post.
Feathertail Triathlon
I'm still working on the triathlon and expect to have my part done this month. I'm deep on the fourth rules iteration (I hope it's the last), and then I'll write them down for my mice friends on Feathertails Falls to make the art and layout.
Remember that only the ones who backed both Mausolympics and Flights of Fancy will have access to the triathlon.
That's it for today. I'll post a new update next month. Thanks for your support!
