Hello, Weird backers—

Great news! We have begun fulfillment of two of your remaining rewards: the Weird Deck and the Glimmering Sites Deck. If these are among your rewards, check your email for redemption instructions.

Although they took some weird twists and turns making their way through the production and shipping process, both of these turned out spectacularly—we love them, and we think you will too!

That leaves us with just one more item: the minis. These have been in production for several weeks now, but it’s a slow process, so they won’t be complete for another month or so. They do look great, though!

If you like weird stuff from the fertile minds of the MCG design team, you might want to check out the Knights of Dust and Neon crowdfunding campaign, featuring exciting new sourcebooks for the Cypher System and some fantastic deals for those new to the Cypher System. We’d love it if you joined us in this campaign!

We’ll have more news on the Weird minis—the final reward for this campaign—in our next update!

Thanks again for your support!

Hello, backers—

We hope that those of you who backed for the spectacular deluxe edition of The Weird have been enjoying that beautiful book—and that, regardless of what edition you use, your games have become more colorful, exciting, and memorable.

Now we’re ready to make your game table even a little bit weirder!

We are now fulfilling the Weird Dice set, and the special promo d20. These silicone dice are really cool—sharp-edged and just a little bit bouncy. They feel great in the hand and roll wonderfully. We’re super happy with how they turned out!

If the dice set or special promo d20 are among your rewards, and you haven't done so already, check your email now for redemption instructions. (If you missed the email, you can find redemption instructions here.) But before you do, here’s a reminder. We’re down to just one more reward for this campaign: the Weird Minis. These are in production now, and we hope to have them in six weeks or so. If you’re getting the physical minis and would like to save a few bucks on shipping, you can hold off on redeeming the dice (or other rewards) until the minis are ready.

We’ll have more news on the Weird Minis in our next update!

Thanks again for your support!

Hello, backers—

We live in a time in which supply chains and freight systems are afflicted with a lot of weird disruptions, so we have been sad not to be able to get the deluxe edition of The Weird into your hands for so long. But the wait, fortunately, is over: we have begun fulfillment of the deluxe version, including the autographed deluxe edition of The Weird.

We are really pleased with how this book turned out, and we think you will be, too! If the deluxe edition (autographed or unautographed) is among your rewards, you should already have received an email with redemption instructions. (If you didn’t get the email, simply log into the MCG Shop, navigate to the My Account page under the Store menu, and click on the Coupons tab. Then just click on the coupon or the Add All Products to Cart button to add the reward to your cart, and proceed to checkout.) Please note that our warehouse will be operating on a reduced schedule through the remainder of the year, so some orders may take a bit longer to ship than usual.

We hope you love the deluxe edition as much as we do. And that you have a wonderful holiday season!

Thanks again for your support!

Speaking of holidays…

It’s a holiday tradition at MCG: we give you $10, and you can use it to get something at the MCG Shop—or donate it to charity! 100% of the donation goes to the chosen charity, and over the years we’ve given thousands to some really worthy causes. So take $10 off a gift for a loved one (or yourself!) or tell us which charity you’d like us to give it to. It’s the MCG Holiday Gift!

Hello, backers—

The Glimmering Valley is in our warehouses and beginning to fulfill! And that’s not all: during the campaign, you unlocked the The Glimmering Valley Player’s Guide. It’s a reward for every backer getting The Glimmering Valley. We’re fulfilling that as well.

If The Glimmering Valley is among your rewards, check your email for your redemption instructions for these two items. (For an overview of the process, see our previous update.)

We have more good news, but first, a caveat. In this age of constrained supply chains and frequent freight delays, it’s difficult to predict or control when our printers and other vendors will deliver products to us. Due to factors outside our control, we’ve received several large shipments in a short period of time—items that should have been received over the course of two or three months. As a result, we have multiple large fulfillments going on at the same time.

We are a small company, with a limited number of employees who are all real human beings. We’re putting in long hours, and have brought in temp workers, but the volume of orders is very high. We’ll do everything we can to ship your order quickly, but it’s best to expect delays. Thank you in advance for your patience as it may take longer than we’d like to get your order out to you.

Now have a look at this!

That’s a first-off-the-presses copy of the deluxe edition of The Weird, and holy cat crackers is it beautiful. The effect of the iridescent foil cover, beneath the transparent dust jacket, will give this tome a place of pride on any bookshelf. (Photos definitely don't do it justice.) You’re going to love it!

In past years, we’ve always fulfilled deluxe books at the same time as the standard edition, but, again, we live in trying times. But the good news is that we expect to be able to fulfill this within a few weeks—we’ll let you know when it starts!

Thanks again for your support!

Hello wonderful backers—

This is a small update to clear up confusion we caused when we sent out the last update and the most recent redemption email.

Those of you at these pledge levels, THE WEIRD DELUXE EDITION, BOOKS AND DECKS, and RETAILERS ONLY, get the deluxe version of The Weird, which is still being printed at this time.

Those of you at the GONZO pledge level get the deluxe, autographed version of The Weird, which is also still being printed at this time.

We are on track to deliver The Weird deluxe—both the autographed and not autographed versions—to backers in the coming weeks. We'll keep you informed.

We're sincerely sorry for the confusion we caused by not being clear in the update that the deluxe version is still in production and not fulfilling right now.
