We kindly ask that if you have questions about our fulfillment process, you give this helpful guide a quick read before reaching out to Jennifer, our wonderful customer service guru. Though she is magical, she is also only one human, so any self-help you can do before reaching out is greatly appreciated.
We had the great pleasure of meeting with some of Rusty Quill’s marketing folks at UK Games Expo in Birmingham last weekend, and receiving the UKGE 2025 Judges award for Best Roleplaying Game! We’re so proud of this gameand it is wonderful to share such industry recognition with Jonny, Alex, and the rest of the Rusty Quill team.

Last Few Hours to Escape Shadow and Enter the Real World
There’s less than a day left to pledge for Invisible Sun Indigo and Electric. Discover magic that’s truly magical and experience the rich and surreal world of Invisible Sun. Enter the Actuality here.
Wow! In less than a single day, you’ve helped reach over 350 new backers and unlocked yet another stretch goal. The dust jacket set will be upgraded, with the Ex Altiora jacket becoming a high-end, vintage-feel faux-leather cover. This is going to be very cool!
You’ve also brought us amazingly close to a million bucks—a height reached by just a handful of RPG crowdfunding campaigns. We’re in the final day, but at the current rate, we could definitely hit it—with your help.
The stickers we’ve unlocked as bonus items alongside our stretch goals have been incredibly popular—so for this final stretch goal let’s build on that theme. The vinyl stickers are the type you might put on a laptop or water bottle—but what about your character sheet, your GM’s journal, or your Magnus Institute notebook? They’re a bit large, heavy, and thick for that sort of thing, so:
We’d like to make this sticker sheet. (This is a mockup; we’re still working on the full final design, which may have even more items on it.) This will be a paper sticker sheet, rather than vinyl, making it suitable for notebooks, journals, character sheets, and so on. And, as with the vinyl stickers, we’ll also give you digital versions of the stickers as well!
The sticker sheet will be added to the rewards for all pledge levels that include physical books. All backers will get it in digital form.
And, of course, with every stretch goal there’s also a bonus vinyl sticker (this is an all-new piece of art, and you’re looking at a not-quite-finished version):
We’re approaching the magical $1,000,000 mark, so let’s make that our goal!
Can We Do It?
YES! With your help, of course. It might be a stretch, but that’s why they call them stretch goals! Some things to remember:
The campaign has been on fire today—the pace we’ve seen so far today will just about get us there.
BackerKit has a feature called Overtime Mode. If people are still backing when the campaign hits its deadline, it stays open until the pledges taper off. So we could continue to see the campaign grow for hours after the deadline, if the stream of new backers remains steady.
The best way to hit goals is to spread the word and help reach new backers.
You have taken us over the $1,000,000 mark—a level very few RPG crowdfunding campaigns have ever reached. And in so doing, you’ve also unlocked our final stretch goal: we’re now making the sticker sheet, which will be included in the rewards for every backer getting the books in print. And everyone (including PDF-only backers) will get the stickers in digital form.
What an exciting day it’s been! (And the campaign is still rolling—overtime Mode keeps the campaign live until pledges stop rolling in.) And an exciting campaign! We’re excited about these three new books, and Enter the Archives, plus DIG and the new dice and the many items you’ve helped bring into being.
We want to tell you a bit about where things go from here—and we have some interesting news—but first let’s give credit where credit is due:
While this campaign has been running Monte has been working with Jonny Sims and other contributors on Make Your Statement, while also leading our design team—Bruce, Sean, Dominique, and Shanna—as they keep our pipeline of products—including The Darkest Woods and All Your Gods Are Dead (for the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game) moving along on schedule. Bear and Javier designed stickers, imaged the forthcoming products, and handled the graphic design of this campaign—and they’ll make the products you’ve funded shine! Jen, Olivia, and Kate have answered your questions (and are always available to provide support to you, our wonderful community). Teri, Dominique, and Tammie have managed the words and kept the logistics plates spinning. And Charles planned and ran this campaign.
We all thank you for backing this campaign. We love making mind-blowing RPGs with beautiful production values and immersive experiences, and your support makes that possible.
Now, here’s what to expect as we move forward from here.
The Immediate Future
Running a crowdfunding campaign is hard work, so we’re looking forward to getting a bit of rest. You may not hear from us for a little while, but don’t worry. As we’ve said, Monte and the team is already at work on these titles. We’ll post updates any time there’s news share.
The Next Few Weeks
BackerKit began collecting pledges the moment the campaign closed. But it takes them a full two weeks to release those funds, along with the data on our backers.
In the meantime, we will get the pledge manager fully set up. The pledge manager gives us the information we need to fulfill your pledge and lets you manage your add-ons and make any pledge upgrades you want. We’ll notify you when we open the pledge manager, which should be in about three weeks.
The Next Few Months
Once you’ve completed the pledge manager survey, we won’t need anything else from you until it’s time to start fulfilling rewards. We’ll be busy crafting Make Your Statement, Face Your Fears, Do Not Open, and the other items you funded, in the months to come. We’ll post regular updates, but if you don’t hear anything for a few weeks, don’t fret.
At the same time, please pay attention when you do get communications from us. Our emails and updates include critical information about your rewards.
When Your Rewards Ship
Every time a reward is ready for you, we’ll contact you by email to begin the fulfillment process. Generally, we’ll direct you to the MCG Shop, where you’ll log in, “buy” the product (for free, because you’ve already paid for it through this campaign), and check out.
This is an important part of the process because it ensures we have accurate delivery information for every item we send out. (With thousands of backers getting rewards, it's amazing how many people will change their address over the fulfillment period.) You'll pay for shipping at that time.
Please pay attention to communications from us—don't let our updates or emails go to your spam folder, or otherwise ignore them, because if you do you could miss out on some of your rewards.
Thanks for your support! —Team MCG
A storm in Indigo is not so different than those elsewhere. Rain and wind and sometimes even hail. But the rarest of Indigo storms also drops, for just a moment or two, keys.
Keyfalls are rare—and wicked keys are even rarer. But in the hands of a vislae, a wicked key can open not just doors and vaults, but people. Memories. Lost and ancient realms. Anything.
Escape this world of lies and shadow. Enter the Actuality and discover the hidden truths of the real universe. Unlock new realms. Sign up to be notified when Invisible Sun: Electric and Indigo launches, and find an exclusive wicked key among your rewards when you back this campaign.
We’ve reached the closing time for this campaign—but it’s not over yet!
BackerKit has a feature called Overtime Mode, and we’re in it. As long as new pledges keep rolling in, the campaign remains open. It ends when only when we hit a 10-minute stretch with no new pledges.
We can still unlock the final stretch goal!
We are very, very close to the $1,000,000 mark and our final stretch goal. So long as the campaign remains live, we can still hit that goal.
At the rate we’ve been going, we could unlock the stretch goal in as little as an hour. How long will Overtime Mode last? Sometimes it’s just ten or fifteen minutes, but sometimes it’s several hours—or even well into the night. It depends on whether pledges keep rolling in—and that depends on you. So please go out there, share this campaign, and help spread the word!
