Hey Adventurers, happy June! ☀️
We hope you had an amazing May. The first Tuesday of the month has rolled around again, and we’ve got something very special for you - the first beta version of Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods is ready, and you can jump in right now. 🎉🥳
You’ll be able to play through the first chapter as Bramble, Pooh, or any of the other characters from the Hundred Acre Woods, with over 420 prompts ready to guide your story.
This is your first look at what we’ve been building behind the scenes, and we’re so proud to see it coming together. It’s still an early version, but it’s a big step, and we’re so grateful you’re here to take it with us. 💜
📫 Check Your Inbox - You should already have an email from DriveThruRPG with your download link. If you don’t see it, check your spam or promotions folder just in case!
✨ Got Thoughts? We’re All Ears!
We’re so excited for you to dive in, pull some cards, and start your adventure. And we’d love to hear what you think - whether it's feedback, questions, or a story from your session. Pop into our Discord and let us know in our #brambletrek-2-playtest channel. Your input at this stage means the world and will help shape what comes next.
🐉 Bonus News - Take Your Gnawborn Into Drakonym!
Our next big adventure is here: Drakonym - a fiction-first fantasy TTRPG where you’ll forge deep bonds with your dragon companion and explore the wilds of Akeroth together.
As a Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods backer, you’ll unlock exclusive backgrounds that let your Gnawborn step beyond the woods and into the wider world. Their journey continues - this time, on the back of a dragon.
Thanks for being part of this magical journey, and enjoy your first steps into the Woods. 🌳

Project Update: Your Digital Rewards Have Arrived! ✨
Good news, adventurers - the early digital rewards we outlined in the last update have found their way safely through the Woods! ✨
Thank you so much for your patience - the issue in BackerKit's system held things up a little longer than expected, but everything is now safely on the other side and waiting in your inboxes.
To make sure everything reached you smoothly, we’ve decided to send all rewards via DriveThruRPG. That means you should now have an email from them with your download links - keep an eye out, and don’t forget to check your spam, promotions, or updates folders just in case it’s hiding!
If you are having any trouble receiving the animated backgrounds, you can download them directly from this folder instead: 👉 Google Drive Link

Project Update: May Update
Hey Adventurers! We hope you’ve had an amazing April ✨
The Hundred Acre Woods are calling, and today, we officially set off on the next leg of our journey together! 💜
Stage 1 of production is officially underway! 🔥 (If you missed it, we recently shared a full breakdown of all the stages ahead and what you can expect along the journey - you can check it out here!)
To kick things off, we’re sending out your early digital rewards!
Let’s dive into the details.👇
✨ Early Digital Rewards Are Here!
Today marks the first milestone in Stage 1 of Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods - Early Digital Rewards! We’re sending out the first wave of rewards to kick off your adventure. Depending on your pledge level and add-ons, you’ll find goodies like:
- The original Brambletrek game
- Animated wallpapers
- Early playtest versions of other Crossed Paths games
- And more!
📢 Update on Your Digital Rewards📢
There's been a little hiccup on the trail - it seems BackerKit’s upload system has got itself into a bit of a muddle (as things often do in the Woods), and now all the lovely digital rewards are stuck, waiting patiently.
If you are having any trouble receiving the animated backgrounds, you can download them directly from this folder instead: 👉 Google Drive Link
✨ Coming Soon
Right now, we’re deep in the work of shaping the world, developing mechanics, and building the heart of Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods. Once we have a playable beta version ready, we’ll be opening up early access to playtest materials so you can:
- Explore the Hundred Acre Woods
- Share your thoughts and feedback
- Help us shape the game
Your voice matters here - your feedback will have a real impact on how this game grows and evolves.
When playtesting opens, we’ll send out an update with everything you need to know to jump in. We drop major updates on the first Tuesday of every month, so keep an eye on your inbox for your invite to join the adventure early. ✨
We can’t wait to show you more. Thanks for being part of this incredible adventure - it’s only just beginning.
Happy adventuring,

Project Update: 📆 What’s Next For The Hundred Acre Woods?
Hey adventurers!
What a journey. First of all, thank you. 💜 This campaign has been nothing short of magical. Your support, excitement, and trust have meant the world to us, and we can’t wait to build the next chapter with you by our side.
So, what happens now?
✨ How Crowdfunding Works
If you’re new to indie game crowdfunding - or just curious where we’re at - here’s the short version:
This project is still in active development, and you’re a member of the party shaping this world from the ground up. Together, we’re stepping into the next phase of the quest: writing, designing, playtesting, illustrating, producing, and delivering every part of Brambletrek: Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods, along with all the shiny add-ons you picked for your hoard.
At Crossed Paths, every game we create is carefully forged: from polished mechanics and immersive writing to stunning visuals and thoughtful design. We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush to release. We care deeply about how our games feel, function, and inspire. Our games are slow-cooked, playtested, community-shaped, and built with care. We take the time to make something special - and we’re so glad you’re on this journey with us.
We’ll be updating you on our progress every month (more on that below), so you’re never left wandering in the fog.
✨ Early Digital Rewards
Now that everything’s settled and pledges are locked, it’s time to share some of your first rewards while we continue deeper into the development of Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods.
On 6th May, you’ll receive a selection of digital rewards included in your pledge, sent directly to your inbox. Including things like the original Brambletrek game, animated wallpapers, and early playtest copies of other titles. (This will depend on your pledge level and add-on choices)
✨ The Hundred Acre Wood Timeline
Here’s how the next stages of the journey will unfold: from development to delivery, we’ll cover what we’re working on, when it’s happening, and how your rewards will be delivered.
Each stage of the journey plays a key role, from early development to final delivery - but they won’t always happen in a strict one-after-the-other order. Many stages will overlap to keep everything moving smoothly behind the scenes. While we’re playtesting one part, we might already be prepping another for print.
We’ll always let you know where we’re at in each stage through our monthly updates, so you’ll have a clear picture of what’s happening, what’s next, and how things are progressing.
This is where we set out into the Hundred Acre Woods. Writing and design are in full swing as we develop the world, characters, mechanics, and structure of Tales in the Hundred Acre Woods. We’ll open early playtesting when it’s ready, and invite you to explore and share your thoughts. Your feedback at this stage will help shape the very core of the game.
Development continues in full swing as we build on your feedback. We’ll share new playtest versions and run multiple rounds of testing to refine how the game plays, feels, and flows. Mechanics are balanced, narrative details are sharpened, and together, we shape a final version we can all be proud of.
With playtesting complete and your feedback woven in, we finalise and deliver the finished digital game. Then we turn our attention to physical production - preparing layouts, testing samples, and ensuring every single component meets our high standards. It’s all about getting things just right before the presses roll.
With final files locked, we begin the production process. Pre-production samples are tested to make sure everything looks, feels, and functions exactly as it should. Once approved, full-scale manufacturing begins. This includes every component - books, cards, plushies, pins, boxes, maps, and more. Quality control checks happen throughout to ensure a consistent, high-standard final product.
With production complete, everything is shipped to our fulfillment partners. This involves transporting goods across borders, clearing customs, and ensuring everything arrives safely at regional warehouses. From there, products are checked, sorted, and logged into the system, ready to be packed into individual backer orders.
After passing through mandatory safety checks and customs, fulfillment begins. Orders are carefully packed - from books and boxed sets to card decks and plushies - and sent on their way to you, ready to be played, read, and enjoyed. (You’ll receive a tracking link via email once your rewards are on the move, so you can keep an eye on their journey.)
✨ What About Add-Ons & Bonus Items?
All add-ons and extras - from pins and plushies to card decks and sticker sheets - are being developed alongside the core game. Here's how delivery will work:
- Digital rewards will be delivered as they’re completed. We’ll keep you updated on what’s coming next in our monthly updates!
- Physical rewards (like plushies, card decks, etc.) will ship together with your printed game in Q1 2026. This helps keep shipping costs low and fulfilment simple and smooth.
If you added other Crossed Paths titles during this campaign, like Ashes or Covens of Midnight, those rewards will also be included in the same shipment. Everything will arrive together in one bundle, so you won’t be charged shipping twice.
✨ Stay in the Loop
We share updates like this one on the first Tuesday of every month. That means regular production updates, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, playtest insights, polls, and the occasional lore drop!
Thanks again for being part of this world - we couldn’t ask for a better party to travel with.
Happy adventuring,
