Thanks to nearly 1100 of you, the Hunter’s Journal and Slayer’s Survival Kit is fully funded! In the three and a half days since we launched, you’ve knocked down three stretch goals. We’re delivering upgrades to both the core books as well as adding two ribbon bookmarks to the custom Investigator’s Casebook.

Up next for our stretches: At $100k, creator Michael Sands brings you a new hunter playbook: The Elemental! You are a transdimensional agent correcting cosmic errors — powerful, mysterious, and inhuman. We’ll also include advice and hunter stories for this playbook, which is inspired in part by Sapphire & Steel. 

If you want to get more insights into the origin, design, and inspirations behind Monster of the Week, tune into this episode of the Genretainment podcast! Michael sits down with hosts Julie and Marx to chat about the creation of the game and the various other RPGs and pop culture properties that influenced it.

Finally, a quick reminder: If you’re a backer, you can download the full text of both books right now. Just head over to Update #1 and scroll down to the Backer Only section for the links. There may still be minor changes to the text but you absolutely can start perusing, using, and enjoying all 600 pages of these two new expansions in your game this weekend!

That’s our quick update. We’ll keep things minimal as the campaign progresses so your inbox doesn’t overflow. Thanks for your support and make sure to spread the word!
