Celebrate the launch of Moonbeam by backing participating projects on BackerKit
Are you ready to revolutionize live streaming? Back any of the Moonbeam Collection projects today! Moonbeam is a new live streaming and community platform that empowers creators, fans, and communities worldwide while tackling the critical issues of online harassment, unfair monetization, and community fragmentation with innovative solutions tailored just for you.
On Moonbeam, you don't start a mere channel; you create a Realm—a community hub where you can chat via text and enjoy live streams or other video content together.
The five other projects joining Moonbeam are the first five Realms to launch on Moonbeam! Each project is offering exclusive rewards tailor-made for their Realm and community on Moonbeam.
Back more campaigns, get FREE rewards! Here's how:
When you back a participating project, you get early access to Moonbeam.
When you back Moonbeam and any Moonbeam Collection project, you'll unlock an exclusive Premium Badge, earn 100 moonstones, and gain two additional months of Moonbeam+. You can earn these rewards each time you back a Moonbeam Collection project!

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!
So I've backed at the Beta tier, but there's a reasonable chance that I may receive an invite during the Alpha. Will that cause any issues with backer rewards being applied to my account, or will I be fine as long as I'm using the email address I provided in the backer survey?
Some of you may have noticed an email in your inbox with your backer survey. BackerKit requires us to do a smoke test (sending the survey to 5% of backers at each pledge tier) to make sure everything is working the way we want it to.
Once we’ve received the majority of smoke test responses, we’ll triple-check everything, and we aim to send the survey to all backers early next week.
What Happens Next?
If you submit your survey on or before December 2nd, you will receive an email with your account details on Alpha Launch Day (December 6th).
After December 2nd, we will send out account details on a weekly basis as surveys come in.
The sooner you fill out the backer survey, the sooner we can fulfill your pledge. When you log in for the first time, all your rewards, including Early Bird and Cross-Collaboration incentives, will be waiting in your account!
If your pledge involves Beta access, you will not receive your account on December 6th. Keep an eye on our campaign updates for when we announce our Beta Launch.
In case you missed it, our friends over at Monte Cook Games announced the winners of their streaming scholarship! The Cypher Stream Creator Fund recipients will start streaming on Moonbeam when we go to full release in 2025. You can check out the full list of amazing streamers here: https://www.montecookgames.com/announcing-the-cypher-stream-creator-fund-recipients/

For those of you who are excited about profile images, profile banners, or Realm images, here are the specs to get you started early!

Realm cover / banner images should have an aspect ratio of 5:2. For best results, use an image that's between 1,000 and 2,000 pixels wide.
Alpha Phase Realm Owners
If you pledged at the Realm Owner tier, you'll have your Realm ready to go once you log in with your Moonbeam account. You can set up your channels, roles, and images. Additionally, we expect to have up to 100 invite codes that you can use to invite people into your Realm and onto Moonbeam. You can use these invites to invite anyone into your community!
We’re so excited to see you all in Alpha on December 6th! Cheers!
We’re thrilled to announce that your exclusive maps are now available for download! Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached this exciting stage, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Now that you have your maps in hand, it’s time to explore and dive into your adventures in Chaldea! Be sure to tag us in any posts on social with #WorldofChaldea—we’d love to see where your journeys take you.
And keep your eyes peeled while traveling... you never know what FATE may have in store for you in our upcoming campaign in 2025. Exciting things await, so stay tuned and get ready for more epic adventures!
Hey friends, thanks for your patience as we've been putting things into place. Here's our planned timeline:
In the next week or so we will be shifting the project into pledge management mode. There are no physical rewards to ship so the good news is that unless you choose to upgrade your pledge, we will not be charging you any additional money. This is just a necessary step so we can start using BackerKit to deliver your various rewards like the webstore discount codes or PDF/Roll20 rewards if you backed at the VIP Package level.
We will begin onboarding people into MoonBeam the week of December 9th. As you may recall, MoonBeam is the streaming & community platform we'll be using to host these panels - as well as a place where you can discuss All Things Hat. You'll get codes and invites to join MoonBeam the second week of December.
We will be hosting a State of the Hat stream on Saturday, December 14th. Sean Nittner, our Director of Projects, will review the status of the various games on our development slate and answer questions about our release schedule/process. This was not part of the promised line-up but we wanted to offer you a little something extra for waiting. Plus it's a chance for us to pilot MoonBeam and shake out any issues that might pop up before the full GM panels.
We're targeting Saturday mornings in January & February for our four GM panels. We don't have specific dates to share just yet, but we feel that holding our panels at 9am Pacific time on a Saturday will accommodate the largest number of backers to view each stream. And if you can't attend a particular panel, they'll be available to view on demand. We'll get you more details on just when each panel will occur once we get all our expert GMs booked.
That's the update! We'll have more details for you as things get nailed down, but thank you again for being a supporter. We're looking forward to sharing some terrific tips and advice to help you run a great game!
The time to launch Moonbeam’s Alpha phase has come at last my friends!
Moonbeam is opening its doors (and Realms) on December 6th for our Alpha phase launch!
Over the next few weeks, you’ll receive your BackerKit surveys where you can modify your pledge level and verify your information so we can send you onboarding instructions.
If you have a priority Realm in Alpha phase, you’ll also receive additional invites for your Realm.
The team has been HARD at work getting Moonbeam ready. Alpha is gonna be a wild ride, full of bumps, bugs, thrills, and historic “firsts.” I look forward to seeing you all there!
You may have noticed we're launching a new BackerKit for Mothership RPG in... less than 4 hours! 😱
It's possible you're thinking "What the heck, I'm still waiting on my tasty found footage VOIDSTREAM treats." REASONABLE!
Here's what's up, dog
The Panic Table has been planning to launch a new mini-season for Mothership Month for the better part of a year. When Mothership creators Tuesday Knight Games invited us to participate in the Mothership Month BackerKit, we were tickled pink! Why? Most of DOG EAT DOG is complete! Written, planned, schemed!
More importantly, DOG EAT DOG has marked its own delicious territory *alongside* VOIDSTREAM. While we were producing D.E.D., we used the set, cast, and opportunities to create original content for VOIDSTREAM. That's exclusive content designed specifically for VOIDSTREAM and that will tie in to a corner of the terrible, hungry universe we live in!
Lastly, cool perks that only apply to you: VOIDSTREAM backers returning to back a physical copy of DOG EAT DOG within the first 48 hours get a RED FERN KENNEL CLUB patch AND a Blastex Wilson™ Patch thrown in for FREE! .
Rest assured we are still on track to deliver VOIDSTREAM on schedule. The signal never sleeps, and and increasingly, neither do we 🙃
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!!!
