I woke up like thisss~
("like this" meaning "a walking disaster unprepared for the incredible generosity of our supporters who have pushed us past 100k wtf")

I cannot believe we hit 100k just three days in. To be completely transparent, this is now officially the largest campaign we have ever done in terms of money raised. And it's only day three. I cannot thank you all enough. 

Before I jump in, I just wanted to shout out our awesome Discord community who have been so supportive. It feels like every few minutes I take a scroll through those chats and see really kind words. So, Dewey, PrinceofBelAir, Stryker, Lythar, Kimber, Dave, Beelze, Zelan, and the entire Pretzel Cult - thank you all. You all rock. Your support is appreciated by everyone at Action Fiction, and on a personal note, you fill my life with a lot of joy.

For those not in the Discord, there's no better place to chat with other folks who have the same sense of humor, who love to homebrew their own Murka items, and who support the hell out of one another. 10/10 community, even if I'm a little biased.

Here, have another Sir Valence WIP, courtesy of Hermz:

When I told Hermz we would be doing 3 series of minis (my current goal is like 10-15 minis total at this point), he had the following to say:

And I gotta say, I agree with him entirely. lmao. I'm working up a list of all the creatures and critters who might become a mini so that you all can vote. There are a few that I 100% know will become a mini and so they won't be included in the poll (like the Walrog), so if you don't see those monsters in the poll, don't worry! They'll still be in the list of minis. The poll will be exclusively for y'all to pick and choose your faaaavorites.

And now, the moment I know MANY of you have been waiting for...

It feels like I barely even had time to announce that this had been revealed before we've already unlocked it. I suppose that goes for all of our stretch goals, but this one was a big one for me. I've wanted to see a VTT implementation for Murka for a LONG time, and I'm so damn excited that we're finally gonna make it happen. I've reached out to a VTT creator to see what it's gonna take to get it made, but the jury is still out on whether we'll be working with a VTT creator, or if we'll be making it ourselves (see: I will be making it myself, lol).

If you happen to know someone with VTT/Foundry creation experience, send them our way! You can hit us up on the Discord or email us at [email protected] about it. We love working with folks that like our stuff, it's a great way for us to support our supporters.

Our next two stretch goals are the fourth mini series and a dice tray. We've done dice trays before, and if we unlock this, I think you guys are gonna LOVE what we have in store for it!

Also, just to clarify: we have more stretch goals cooking. We, uhh... we thought we had more time, haha. So, once we blow through these next two, our Murkan road trip will not be over. We'll be making a detour so we can continue our journey together!

Thanks again, to each and every one of you. I know you're reading this and going "ah, sure, he's thanking everyone else" but no, I mean you specifically. You the person that clicked this update and are currently reading these words. Thank YOU for your support. 

Yours across the plains of Midwesteros,
