Welcome to the Moonbeam revolution! Let us know why you joined the Moonbeam revolution, over the course of this campaign, we want to hear from you, so that you can help us shape the future of live streaming. Creators and fans matter most to us, and together we can truly reshape the live streaming space to benefit all of us. We've built it before and we can rebuild it again!
I look forward to reading your comments and chatting with you all about your dreams and aspirations. We're making Moonbeam for you, and the future is bright if we stick together.
I LOVE maps and have so many of them that I have hand-drawn over the years ready to go in my gaming area once it's finished, but now they have come competition... Love these and can't wait to delve into Chaldea even further!
Happy early Halloween everyone! I hope you all have spooky plans for tomorrow. I am just returning from two weeks of travel, including time at Gamehole Con and Big Bad Con, where I had the pleasure of meeting many fans of Moonbeam and discussing the future of live streaming!
Today, we have a quick update to inform you that I'll be streaming on Wednesday, November 6th at 9 p.m. Eastern. You can find our streams here on BackerKit, YouTube, Twitch, and X.
The entire team is working hard to open alpha, and right now, we are still set to launch in Q4, but after Thanksgiving. We've added many new features to Moonbeam, so even alpha will be robust compared to what you'd expect from an early alpha. I'll be going over this roadmap during our stream next week and discussing the new features we've added.
I'll see you all on the stream next week, and I look forward to showing you what the team has been working on and more! Cheers!!
First off let me apologize for the lack of comms. Both Cameron and I have been hard at work on getting this project cooking (as well as juggling our day jobs) and have really dropped the ball on making sure you are updated regularly. This is a no-news-is-good-news situation as everything is moving along and we have quite a few interesting updates to share!
PRE-PRODUCTION JUNCTION
Cameron has been hard at work writing the Voidstream scripts, scouting locations, auditioning actors and getting all the pieces in place to make video and audio elements. Part of the fun challenge of this project is connecting the adventure itself with these audio and video assets, a completely different type of collaboration than I've been a part of before and it's been very educational and fun! As I'm sure you know, professional video and audio takes a lot of careful planning with lots of different people, but is on track to start filming and recording soon! Stay tuned for some sneak previews ASAP.
The manuscript is complete! The adventure is in playtesting currently and is (I'm gonna toot my own horn here) pretty f*cking cool. All the subsystems are built out and working perfectly, I”m really happy with the way it's all fitting together. Hopefully these extra tools will see some use in your other MoSh games. From the narrative-PVP systems of secret motivations, possessions, and monster transformations to the time-resource system, I really think that there is just a lot of really fun stuff to play with. We are really trying to make an adventure that brings a different vibe than the other MoSh books in your collection. As well as something that you will want to replay over and over again.
So now I'm in the process of doing the layout design (my second favorite part after writing mechanics!) and although I'm just getting started, I went ahead and whipped up some images so you could something to tide you over till the PDF is ready.
The current stat block for the main antagonist THE RADIOBLIGHT
THE FUTURE IS …SOON So here's what to expect as far as our projected timelines: -PDF should hopefully be in your (digital) hands by the end of the year. -Book off to the printers shortly after that (hopefully the first few months of 2024) -Books, Boxes, and other goodies shipped out shortly after that. -The Video and Audio assets will probably be released in batches, but we will get them to you as soon as they are ready.
I’ll update soon when i have more fun stuff to show you!
LOVE & THANKS Jack & Cameron
PS. We will be at PAXU so please let us know if you're gonna be there, we are going to be playing and running games and would love to hang out with you!
Any updates any time soon? Its almost a month and I haven't heard anything about any streams or text updates. Like any word about when surveys will be going out? Sorry but lack of communication makes me nervous especially when money is involved. Hope to hear back soon and can't wait for Alpha access!!!
Hey everyone, Anthony here! Just wanted to let you know I'll be doing a live stream tonight at 9pm EST / 8pm CST / 6pm PST with one of our pre-alpha Realm owners!
We'll be talking about Moonbeam, their Realm, and more! Come join us if you want to chat and hear more about what we've been doing in pre-alpha as we race to release alpha.
Hey everyone, Anthony here with an exciting update: Moonbeam is in pre-alpha!!
Join me tomorrow night, September 18th at 9pm EDT / 8pm CDT / 6pm PDT as I talk about what we’re doing in pre-alpha and what that means for you! I’ll be live streaming here, on Twitch, on YouTube, on X, and more!
Things are moving on track and in some cases better than expected—so I look forward to us launch alpha soon so we can have you all aboard.
See you tomorrow, and yes, I’ll make sure the video is on our YouTube channel in case you can’t make the live stream. Cheers!
I saw Anthony’s tweet that pre-alpha begins today. Exciting! How will pre-alpha work? Are only the pre-alpha participants able to see each others streams or can the public watch?
Thank you all so much for a great crowdfunding campaign to make The Anywhere Door real. We realize this was a little different from our usual stock, but we were overwhelmed with the love for this project and by the support of our fans.
Thank you all!

The Anywhere Door opens
We’re looking at September for early access to The Anywhere Door for backers. We’ll be working with Moonbeam to make this a terrific and creative space that everyone can enjoy.

With Gen Con now behind us, we're excited to announce that we're in full swing, working diligently to get these magnificent maps shipshape and ready for distribution to our amazing backers!
Our team is dedicated to ensuring that each map meets the highest quality standards and is meticulously prepared for its journey to you. To achieve this, we've once again enlisted the expertise of legendary fantasy cartographer Rob Lazzaretti, who is diligently finalizing the project alongside our talented team of artists and designers.
We're delighted to announce that The Chaldea Gazetteer will be available to our backers in November 2024!
Want to see these maps in action? Tune in to Gen Con TV TONIGHT at 6 PM Pacific for the season premiere of Actoroke: Nearly Departed where Dungeon Master Mike Boozer leads players on a wild adventure through the World of Chaldea!
The tick, tick, tick of crowdfunding is over and we crossed the finish line with 424 backers and almost $12k in pledges. Thank you to everyone for your support!
Most of the pledges have been collected at this point although BackerKit usually needs another week to round up all the payments and transfer them to us.
Next up: We will be working with our partners at Moonbeam to begin building out the community space that will host the streams. Moonbeam integrates a collaborative online community directly with livestreaming. It includes cutting edge moderation tools so trolls and spammers don't ruin our good time.
Our Evil Hat Realm should get spun up next month and then we're going to do some internal testing to get our legs under us before we start sending you all invites to join the platform.
So expect things to simmer along in the background for a bit and we'll update you as things get solidified.
