Has there been any news about the timelines? The last announced update was a month ago and that was after a lot of us were asking about the early release? Did I miss a post where they announced the new date?

Hi everyone, As we eagerly anticipate the release of the Magnus Archive RPG from our crowdfunding efforts, I wanted to get your thoughts on preparing for our future adventures. I've stumbled upon a Humble Bundle offering focused on the Cypher System, which is the foundation for our upcoming game. This bundle includes the core rulebook, over 900 pages of the Ptolus setting, and a variety of adventures and supplements. It seems like a great opportunity to familiarize with the system's mechanics and versatility—ranging from sci-fi to fantasy settings. Plus, part of the purchase goes to support the ACLU. As someone who has played and DM'd D&D (and other things and systms) for 30 years and enjoyed Monte Cook’s previous works, I'm curious but still quite new to the Cypher System. I want to be well-prepared by the time we receive our playtest materials. What do you all think? For those familiar with the Cypher System, do you believe this bundle would provide a good foundation for understanding the gameplay mechanics we'll encounter in the Magnus Archive RPG? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hey there! I think my question keeps getting overlooked on accident and I'm not sure who to message to ask. How do I access my pledge manager? I want to add the Leitner dice box to my pledge as a late addition to my order, before those orders close out for good. Can someone help me with this? Thanks so much!

Building off a prior question. Are there plans to update the CSRD to include some of the new mechanics presented by this game?

Hi I was wondering what kind of license this ttrpg would be under since the Cypher Sistem and Rusty Quill use very different ones. Just curius since that will have a heavy impact on fan made content for it and the comunity that forms araund it.

Is it too late for me to upgrade my pledge?

In regards to the monsters section of the core rulebook, could we expect a handful of original monsters never before seen in the actual podcast, or would it be mostly creatures/avatars from the show? (i.e. The Still and Lightless Beast, Michael Crew, The Boneturner, etc.)

Does any one have any idea when early access is due to drop? And will I be allowed to hold public games with my early access set? My local game shop posts DMs who are looking for players, and I'd like to put this up ASAP and see if anyone is interested. Thanks!

So I know there will be mechanics for drawing on the power of the fears but I have been wondering if they will be heavily be tied to the main cannon or if they are flexible to player made settings. That is to say if my setting had a new fear or one of the core fears was slightly different if the rules would still permit players to create characters tied to them and give them benefits for doing so.

Project Update: Let’s Look at Some Leitners!
We have some really cool stuff to share with all of you, but first, if any of the following add-ons are among your rewards, they're ready for you to redeem now:
- GM Intrusion Deck in print and/or PDF
- NPC Deck in print and/or PDF
- Your Best Game Ever in print and/or PDF
- The Weird in print and/or PDF
If one of the above add-ons is among your rewards, click here to redeem it.
For a refresher on how we fulfill rewards, check out (and bookmark) this article: How to Claim Your Crowdfunding Reward. To see a comprehensive list of your rewards, please view your BackerKit Pledge Manager for this campaign. And remember: You can wait to redeem some or all of your rewards so that you can bundle them and save on shipping.
And now back to the update! While The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game corebook continues through the review and editing process, we’ve been moving forward with the other rewards you funded. This month we have a not one, but two Leitners to show you.
OK, that’s not so much a Leitner as a Leitner-inspired item: it’s the book-safe-style dice box (with built-in dice tray) for the exclusive dice set. (It's fancier than the in-world book, but we and our friends at Rusty Quill agreed that a cool dice box was more important than a faithful recreation of the book.) At a glance it might not seem that different from the box you saw during the campaign, but it’s actually all new artwork—take a close look! The box and the dice are designed, approved, and in production. (This reward, while being the first to enter full-scale production, won’t deliver earlier than the corebook—manufacturing the components of this set takes longer than everything else in this campaign.)
Now let’s talk about an actual Leitner—and take a sneak peek into another book that’s coming out of the campaign: A Guest for Mr. Spider! We’re thrilled to be working with Kyle A. Scarborough (whose work you may have seen in Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game) who will be illustrating this Leitner. Check out this this work in progress from the book:
In addition, we’re already starting on the early stages of design and production for the playmat and the campaign journal. (These items couldn’t be fully designed until the corebook was written.) Manufacturing will take some time, but we’re exciting by how these are shaping up. We should have some images to show you in our next update!
Thanks again for your support!

Oh, one more thing…
The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game is powered by the Cypher System (with a few customizations). If you’re new to the Cypher System, you’re in for a treat—it’s amazingly easy to play and run, really built around narrative and character, and fast-paced and fun. And it’s flexible enough to run virtually any campaign you can imagine.

Im so sorry i know a lot of people have been asking but march is almost over so im wondering if we will have any news about early access soon?

For those that bought early access, what exactly does early access entail? an early look at what the corebooks/game will look like? Items sent earlier?

Has there been any word on if Early Access is still on track to be released this month? If so, does anyone know when in the month? I'd love to be able to run it at PAX East with Games on Demand next weekend.
