I hope you are all well and looking forward to the holidays.
We wanted to share some good news and a bit of festive spirit with an early V1 PDF version of the book. We will send private links to the backers who left a comment and would like to give it a try before everyone else. All we ask in return is that you share your feedback and play experience with us.
With most of the stretch goals reached, we were also able to create several in-universe props and documents. These are designed to be printed and brought to the table, or used as fillable PDFs for those playing remotely.
So far, Golden Achiever has mastercrafted:
The Journalist Engagement Notice: the in-universe contract sent by The Oracle to new recruits, outlining their mission, perks, and journalism skills
A Fallout Tracker: to help Wardens track how player investigations impact the world around them
For WHERE IT SHOULDN’T: a player-facing map with space for notes, intended to be used during the one-shot
Stretch goals Players handouts
Another exciting stretch goal update: we commissioned Roque Romero to illustrate a crucial piece of story lore. The idea is that you can hand this two-page mini-comic to a player when a specific trigger occurs and let them act or roleplay based on it, with very little guidance.
I was genuinely happy, and honestly quite emotional, when I read the comic Roque produced. I cannot wait for you to experience that moment at your table as well.

We wish you a great end of 2025 and are very much looking forward to your stories in 2026.
