Wow. I don’t think any of us expected Folklore Americana to do this well. This is a game we’ve dreamed about making for years, and to finally have the chance — and the funds — to bring it to life is nothing short of amazing.
The outpouring of support and excitement you’ve all shown has been overwhelming in the best way. It’s been a rollercoaster these past few weeks, and I mean that in the “hang on, scream a little, and then laugh because you can’t believe it’s actually happening” kind of way.
Because of you, we get to make something we love. We get to put in the time, the care, and the detail it deserves. And that’s all thanks to you. From all of us, truly, thank you. We are a small team, and although we have been making gaming books for over 20 years, these opportunities are amazing for us and our families.
I’m taking this weekend to breathe, celebrate my incredible wife’s birthday, and just soak in the fact that this is real. Next week, I’ll be back with details on what happens next — backer surveys, add-on delivery, and all that good stuff. But for now… just thank you. You made this happen.
We’ve officially blown past $45,000. You’ve carried Folklore Americana further than we ever thought possible, and now we’ve got one last wild push before the clock runs out.
Here’s the deal:
If we hit $50K before time’s up, we’ll unlock a new book — but YOU get to choose which one.
Your choices:
The Hybrid Guide – A combined GM + Player Guide in one big, beautiful volume. Packed with tools, tips, optional rules, and inspiration for both sides of the table.
The Campaign Book – A full-length adventure path that will take you across America’s haunted backroads, from one coast to the other, with a connected series of scenarios.

Drop your choice in the Poll on this update. Every voice counts, and whichever gets the most votes by the end will be the one we make.
We’ve got less than a day left to make this happen — so if you’ve been thinking of upgrading your pledge, now’s the time. And if you’ve already backed, share the link, shout it from the rooftops, or whisper it to all your friends —every backer brings us closer.
In less than an hour and a half, the doors close on Folklore Americana — and the chance to be part of the campaign that brought American folk horror to life.
You’ve carried us to $48k. You’ve unlocked stretch goals, new books, and turned this into something far bigger than we imagined. But we are this close to breaking $50k, and if we do… we get to bring even more of this strange, haunted America to the table.
If you’ve been watching from the shadows, now’s the time to step into the firelight. Upgrade your pledge. Snag that add-on you’ve been eyeing. Share this with your crew.
Once the clock runs out, the road ahead goes dark. Let’s end this the way we started—together, raising a little hell.
We’re down to the last 30 hours of Folklore Americana, and I just want to take a moment —before things get too hectic — to say thank you.
Thank you for backing, sharing, commenting, shouting from rooftops, and helping this strange, heartfelt project find its audience.
Today, my daughter is graduating high school — a year early. Her ceremony was delayed slightly after the car accident, but she made it. We’re so proud of her. Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday, and we are camping out in the yard. So while I’ll still be around, I’m trying not to hit you all with a dozen updates in the final hours. Just know we’re watching, celebrating, and incredibly grateful.
If you haven’t yet: this is your chance. Don’t miss it.
Every bit of support matters — especially for small teams like ours. The more momentum we have, the more books we get to make. The more stories we get to tell. The more we get to push weird, beautiful projects like this out into the world.
We’re excited. We’re grateful. And we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
