It's been a week already since the campaign ended. Bloody hell. It's still sinking in. 

Firstly: THANK YOU ALL! We've been making RPGs for a while now, but we're still a small studio and it always means a lot when people put their hands in their pockets to support us. There are tons of other things you could have chosen to do with your money, and we appreciate you making the (smart, savvy, discerning) choice to do this.

Extra special thanks to those of you who came here via Backerkit's Creator Backers feature. We owe a lot of Meatbags' success to Grant Howitt, Rowan Rook & Decard, and Chris Bissette. If any of you don't know these excellent people and publishers, I fervently recommend you check them out.

Now - on to a rough overview of what you can expect in the short term, and of course how new US tariffs are going to affect us (spoilers: not a lot, surprisingly). 

I'll aim to send you monthly updates to keep track of how production is going, but sometimes the gap between 

updates will be longer: if waiting a week means I can show off some cool artwork or page designs, I'll do that. 

Now. This book's been... a bit more successful than I thought it would be. There are more stretch goals to add. I'm adding a character advancement system and that's going to need playtesting. I am no longer entirely sure I can get all the revisions done in April. I mean, I could, but they wouldn't be my best work. So I am extending the timeline to: 

At the risk of immediately cursing this entire endeavour, we've been pretty fortunate in the unfolding US tariff situation. It looks like books will be exempt (though I am watching the situation closely over the next few weeks), and almost all our materials are being produced in the UK and EU, where tariffs are... not as bad as they could be. Currently. Who knows how long that will hold up.

We have been lucky so far. I don't think there's a single TTRPG creator confidently predicting our good fortune will last. But as things stand now, at time of writing, the tariff situation doesn't affect our plans. The horrors persist, but so do I, etc. 

I never told you what that luxury book treatment stretch goal was going to turn into, did I? I'm still not going to, but I am at least going to hint.

It's green and it glows.

Bye for now.
