Project Update: Pledge Manager Closes MONDAY!

Happy mid-November, family!

Winter is drawing ever closer, yet as nights grow darker and shadows draw longer, every member of Team MCG is still hard at work, making all manner of rewards for this and other fantastic crowdfunding campaigns.

The Pledge Manager Closes on Monday

We will close the pledge manager and charge cards for add-ons on Monday, November 18th.  Now is the time to ensure you’re happy with all you’ll receive from this campaign. Are you suuuure you don’t want to add the Limited Edition Deeper Still Hat and T-Shirt to your pledge? Or perhaps the Witch Jar, which will be a true sight to behold on your gaming table? Nab them now, while you can!





Dig Your Own Grave

Bruce just finished the development pass of this campaign’s first supplement, Dig Your Own Grave,  which expands your character options with all-new descriptors and foci, as well as detailed backgrounds and connections that help establish your players’ characters even more firmly into the setting. There’s also additional equipment and player intrusions. You are going to love how much this book helps immerse your players into the world of alternate Appalachia. Next, this book will go through editing.




Ready for a Challenge?

The Darkest Woods is like no RPG you’ve run before. 
 
The deepest horrors of The Darkest Woods draw upon your characters' memories and personal fears. Explore their notions of morality, family, friendship, love, and truth and exploit the party’s history, personalities, and shared bonds. Sure, there are monsters to fight—but the true horrors in the woods aren’t measured in hit points, but by the threat they extend to everything the PCs hold dear.
 
No matter how battle-hardened or blasé your players are, they’ll find new forms of fear in The Darkest Woods.
 
 
Every encounter in The Darkest Woods includes:


  • Two versions of the encounter area map: a tagged version for the GM, and an untagged version with the secrets removed for players;
  • An illustration of the encounter area showing the players what they see;
  • Images of creatures encountered; and
  • Immersive game assets such as handouts (like tarot cards and journal entries), props, and even audio (as clues and atmospheric sound).
 
Give your players (and yourself!) the most immersive RPG experience they’ve ever had. 
 
Let’s see if you and your friends have the strength to find—and fight—your way out of The Darkest Woods

Thanks again for your support,
 —Team MCG

Do we know when the core rule book will be available for those that pledged at this level or at levels that had it included?

The retail pledge level says: "Plus access to other reward items at retailer-friendly discounts" but the only other items seems to be the bundle - I can't add more copies of the new books, the resource deck 2, prop set, railroad guide, or crip set. I would also like to add additional copies of the core books. Is this something you can help with?

For anyone still receiving / checking on these community posts, please check this out: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/the-gauntlet/the-between?ref=bk-social-project It is for an Appalachian themed expansion (the last expansion for The Between backerkit). The reason I'm breaking a taboo and posting a link to another backerkit project is two fold. Firstly, OGOA is currently concluded & this The Between expansion's content is relevant. Secondly, the backer train has been extending the close of the project for 20hrs past it's deadline. YES, 20HRS PAST THE SCHEDULE CLOSE! And, it's been doing it 10 MINUTES AT A TIME! Please check it out and pledge to help being more Appalachia into your life & the lives of those chugging along to reach this final goal.

Hello! I changed my pledge level and add-ons through the email sent. I got a confirmation email with the updated pledge, but when I look at the site, it's still showing my original pledge. Help?
