It Has Occurred (see: We Did It!)
Hey y'all! Josh here. Good news - you and 864 others have elected to give Grim Merchants life! Beautiful, wonderful, saddle-stitched life!! You've raised over $23,000 to get ...
Grim Merchants is approved by TKG and ready to rock RIGHT NOW! Check the Backers-only section below for some DriveThruRPG links to add Grim Merchants and Androids Unleashed both to your library!
These links might come down once the pledge manager is open and I have other means to distribute files, but for now - enjoy your modules and thank you again for all of your patience! We hope the wait has been worth it!
For Deluxe backers: note that we still plan to ask for your preferred accreditation when we send out surveys. It's just your Backerkit account names listed in the book right now, but rest assured we'll be updating any/all of those names before we go to print!
For No Gods, No Masters crossover backers: we haven't forgotten about you! Digital mission cards are still in the works. Once we are closer to NGNM's release, we'll be able to share more and rest assured you'll have your sweet sweet vendor quests. Hang in there!
Hey all! Back again to update you on our digital release plans! Which is to say, we unfortunately are going to need to push those plans back to early March!
So here's where we're at: Grim Merchants and Androids Unleashed are both completed and ready to release, and we are just polishing up the last two player handouts for Friday. All we are now waiting on is final-final approval of the book's contents from TKG and also on the launch of the mega pledge manager to have an easy way to distribute download links to everyone! So as soon as that goes live, we have your digital downloads chambered to fire over to your inboxes. Formal DriveThruRPG distribution will be able to occur once you've done your surveys and we know which emails you want your content sent to!
In the meantime, since it'll be a pay-what-you-want title anyway, we're putting a download link for Androids Unleashed below in the Backers-only section of the post. Something to tide y'all over! We will probably release it to everybody next week regardless of anything else, since it's a great little module and I'd love it to get it into the wild.
Still though, apologies for having to delay things at all. I was really hoping the pieces would fall into place to hit the target we set during the campaign! Alas, the logistics of the real world have hands. Michael and I are really looking forward to digital release - there's a ton of cool-ass stuff in this book and we are both really proud of it. We will be in touch soon!!
Hey all! It's been radio silent over here for about a month, so I just wanted to throw y'all a cheeky Sunday update!
The Mega Pledge Manager and the Pre-Order Store are both still in the works - I've been told to expect them to go live in the next week or two. We'll have a bigger update with those once they're live, but the short version is that our physical production schedule may have to be shifted around to account for extra pre-orders (i.e. we gotta know how much stuff we're making before we make it)! Everything should still ship all the same - our stuff just won't be headed to the warehouses as soon as we projected!
Good news, though, the book is looking SLICK in layout and we are on track for digital release towards the end of February per our schedule! It'll likely be a version sans Deluxe Backer names, since we'll still be collecting them most likely, but rest assured we will update everything before going to print. To tide you over, take a look at one of our five Printable Immersive Handouts! There's one for each merchant, designed to hook your players in and get them wanting to visit and spend some credits. This flyer for Ephemera4Cheap could be found trampled in a crowded street, pasted to a bulkhead under dingy lighting, or shoved into someone's hands by a haggard street urchin on DuBose's payroll. Enjoy!
I've been really enjoying sprucing these handouts up with resources found in Alfred Valley's EVERYWHERE UNSEEN texture pack! It's a great little collection of weird blotches and shapes that can really bring some grime and life to the pieces. Take a look yourself if you're the curious sort!
That's all for now. Once the Mega Pledge Manager and Pre-Order Store go live, I'll be back with more to share on those! For now, hold tight. Thanks for reading!
Hey folks! Happy New Year! Thank you all for your support in 2025, and here's to a killer 2026! Work continues on the book and our hope is to have it ready for printing by end of January - mega pledge manager and survey collection permitting. In the meantime, we have been proofing some of the other physical materials from the campaign - including your "Do Not Operate" stickers and the early bird "Tourist Aboard" patches!
Take a peek below at how they're all looking:
This one is going to be about 0.5" bigger on the full run!
These ones can be filled in with pen or sharpie!
In our playtesting over the holidays, we also went back and did some overhauling on a couple mechanics! Haggling at Ephemera4Cheap is a bit smoother now, and Attica Destinations includes a brand-new bonus Tourist class in case you ever want to play as a core world dumbass! Once again, very excited to get materials into y'alls hands this spring. The Mega Pledge Manager should be opening soon and we can begin sending out surveys and some Androids Unleashed downloads.
just checked here today, because it had been a while since i had seen an email from this project, and saw an update was posted pretty recently, and I have no email for it anywhere
