‼️A word about tariffs: At this point, we are continuing with our production of the Mazes screen from our overseas vendor in China even with the 104% tariff now imposed. No pricing will increase for backers who purchased during this campaign or as an add-on. However, the MSRP will likely be increasing when we go into retail.

I've noticed that there's a new Mazes Kickstarter. It ends in two days, and I admit it's tempting. But we're still waiting for a lot from this campaign. Can we have a progress update?
The entire adventure path is complete and its so good that parts of the hex crawl rules and the hazards are being incorporated into the main book for City of Skull. Patrick Clapp, who has been writing all of the MAZES adventures as the lead MAZES MONTHLY has really gone all out on this one. We got dragons, magic-resistant orcs, hidden societies, terrorist spell bombs, and esoteric theories of portal magic. No matter what your group is into, there are multiple paths through the adventure cycle, all leading to one of four different, exciting, and cinematic adventures.
The rules for down time, hex crawling, and character selection are also so compelling that we are incorporating them into the standard options coming out of City of Skull. Heavily playtested and expanded - these options give you a codified way of playing West March style games with the Mazes rules - without having to fear power creep or "getting lost".

Our promised delivery of physical items is May 2025. Right now we are on schedule assuming the printing times are what we expect. We are printing everything in the United States except the screen and coins.
