Apologies for the radio silence since my last update. I've been traveling a lot to conventions and been in the midst of a move on the personal front. Thank you for your patience! But on to the good news...
TTWH Files Are DONE
That's a game right there!
The Magenta is where we'll have some tasty Spot UV!
Just look at all those cards! Our manufacturer is currently taking all files to digital proof which means the next step is a physical preproduction copy sent to me in April. Keep an eye out for pictures of that in my next update!! I particularly can't wait to show you the Special Edition packaging.
This means we are on track for having copies of the game in hand by early fall, assuming no unforeseen delays (knock on wood).
Other Happenings in moreblueberries
I am currently working on two other projects I would love you to check out:
Cover by John Gagne
We are currently running a crowdfunding campaign for Viditya Voleti's A Land Once Magic. This is a worldbuilding game that asks you to push beyond the expected tropes and touchstones of traditional western fantasy. It occurred to me the other day that this would be a fascinating game to play to create your setting/virus for The Time We Have! Check out the BackerKit campaign now
Cover by Will Kirkby!
You can also still preorder the Rascal Anniversary Zine! This is a very near and dear project for me to be helping bring to life. Rascal has brought a lot of good to our industry and this is a great way to celebrate all the work they've done this past year. Pre-Order yours!
I can't wait to share more with you in the next update. Until then, hug your brothers and don't open the door.
The illustrations for our door cards are rolling in so let's share the good stuff right away. Check these out!
Left to Right Artists - Thoughtographic, Raul Volpato, Victor Winter, John Gagne, Johan Nohr, Evangeline Gallagher, Conor Nolan
These are just 7 of the 13 that will be included in the base game (16 for the special edition!). I am so excited about how they are coming together.
Each one represents a unique setting/infection to use as inspiration for your playthrough of the game and will vastly change the context of your conversation while playing.
Progress Report
Sam has just finished editing the full text of the game. Next step is to implement those changes and lock the manuscript. Ripley is working on the special edition cover. Simultaneously I am getting the files ready to go for manufacturing.
By the next update, all files should be with the printer! Which puts us on track for a Late Summer/Fall fulfillment.
Keep an eye out for the pledge manager in the next couple of months.
More soon,
Elliot
p.s. I am currently publishing two projects as moreblueberries, check them out and support below.

The Rascal Anniversary Zine - In celebration of the independent tabletop news site's first anniversary, this zine will contain writings from their first year. 50% of all sales go to supporting their mission of worker owned journalism in ttrpgs!
Cover by John Gagne
A Land Once Magic - Viditya Voleti's post-fantasy worldbuilding TTRPG is getting a print-run for Pocketopia. I am so excited to be helping Viditya bring this incredible game to print. If you enjoy creating one-of-a-kind worlds, you'll love this game
The Time We Have production is making steady progress and we are currently on track with our planned schedule.
This month I have been receiving pitches and writings from our Guest Writers and starting to share those along to our Guest Illustrators.
Oh my god, some of these door cards are going to blow your minds. When I sought out this group of writers, I was hoping for some wild interpretations of a "zombie virus" and that is exactly what I have gotten. A little preview:
A witch's vengeful curse that is turning people into beasts
A virus affecting the citizens of Hell that is... good?
A weaponized virus in the trenches of WWII
And that's just 3 of 12!
This month is a big writing month. Next month I should have some new visuals to share as our guest illustrators deliver their work. ALSO Ripley has begun work on the special edition cover so stay tuned for that!
ANOTHER Actual Play?
You bet! The incredibly talented folks at Unprepared Casters have put out a filmed one shot of The Time We Have on their patreon. The episode features Amelia and Haley as brothers reckoning with a feywild infection. It is set in the wider universe of their show and is a great example of how you might use this game to go deeper within a longer campaign.
These two are so incredibly talented and it is a heartbreaking watch. Highly recommend joining their patreon to check it out (for just $2!).
What's Next?
These next two months will be focused on getting all the writing, illustration, and card design in order. We are aiming for files to the printer by March which will keep us on track for games to be in my hands over the summer.
OH! One more thing - we are going to be able to afford Spot UV on the game packaging! Which is just one of those little production touches that makes me so happy. (and is all thanks to your support!)
The Pre-Order Store is still live in case you or someone you know missed the campaign. Keep an eye out soon for your pledge manager if you were a supporter during the campaign!
Thank you so much for your support for The Time We Have!
...you check out our final actual play of our campaign from my friends at Tales Yet Told. Kendo and Amihan use The Time We Have to tell an incredibly unique story set within the world of the Sublime (which you can hear more about in their series Strangers in the Wood and Voices in the Wood). The result is a really beautiful story on its own and a rich dive into the lore of this original world.
It is also a great look at how the game will play differently with the use of different Door Cards. The infection and world of this story are quite different from any of the actual plays you've heard so far. You'll see what I mean...
