Project Update: Soundtrack Poll (Come Vote!), Eating Contest Mechanics, and another Live Stream!

It's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel!

Wait, no, sorry, it's time to vote. That's my bad. That's my bad everyone! It isn't time to duel, I was wrong! It's actually time to vote!

mmm... succulent hot dogs...


My Fellow Murkans, Lend Me Your Votes!

The time has come for you to raise your voices in a cacophonous chorus and make your desires known! Those who vote shall be heeded in our continuing efforts to compose beautiful chords and melodies for your listening pleasure.

All that to say... please scroll down and vote in the music poll!

As a reminder, we hit a stretch goal for a soundtrack. Each piece of music in the soundtrack will be a 10-ish minute loopable track that conveys a certain "feeling" while being packed absolutely full with Murka-sized references, cameos, melodies, and motifs from Murka's musical earworm catalogue. We've chosen the first three themes:

  • Adventure
  • Combat
  • Downtime

And we want your help choosing the next three!

Eating Contest Live Stream (August 7th @ 6:30 PM Eastern)

We're doing another mechanics showcase live stream! Next Thursday, we'll show off our new Alternative Combat mechanics which allow you to run eating contests at your table, perfect for an adventure straight out of Monsters of Murka: Restaurants & Retail. I got to really sink my teeth into eating contest culture in the U.S. while researching for this mechanic, and absolutely love what we wound up with in the end. There are several ways you can do eating contests, and there is a lot of push-your-luck strategy behind it. It's time to become the Joey Chestnut you were always meant to be.

Behold, Murka's delicious hot dog water potion. Perfect to wash down those thirty seven hot dogs you just ate.


Come hang out and see these mechanics playtested, throw us some questions, and celebrate with us! We'll be there for a few hours, and would love to see any one of you there.



Yours across the plains of Midwesteros,

Jaron R. M. Johnson
