Project Update: Weekly Update!

Hey Slugblasterz!


Ric here to pass on the Good News of the week!

First, thank you all so much for your support! A community like you is the only way we are able to create such wonders and delights! From the depths of our hearts, thank you so much, we exist only due to You!

Thank You.

Speaking of our Community! We announced a couple of community contests that are currently ongoing! Here's a look into them!

"Pimp My Slug"




My Slug to kick things off!

Then a look at one made by Taro, a member of our Discord Communities (link to those at the bottom!)


And finally a peek at a slug made by Mythworks' Play and Culture Lead, Graham Gentz!
Graham Truly Explored the Limits of Slugliness! 


CAN YOU OUT DO HIM



Remember! you don't have to use our suggested image, but it does make things simpler, which helps, especially if you're planning on making something Wild and Free like Graham's.

You can post them in our Official Mythworks Discord Here, the Slugblaster Discord, or submit them to the Discussion posted on Backerkit. (linked in the section heading.)

"Pog Jam"


As you now ought know, "MYTHWORKS IS BRINGING BACK POGS!"

To celebrate this, Mikey has started a game jam on itch.io for any kind of game using pogs! The game can be about pogs, use pogs, or reimagine pogs!

a brief reminder of the rules

We'd Love to hear your Radical Pog Ideas below! Click the section heading to go to the itch page instead!


Speaking of Community, as you may know, the TTRPG community is pretty tight knit! Mythworks would love to take a moment and shout out some Friends!

Monte Cook Games - Invisible Sun: Electric and Indigo


If you follow us on Backerkit you may have recently received an email informing you that Mythworks backed Monte Cook Games' project "Invisible Sun: Electric and Indigo" a reimagining of the presentation for the incredible "Invisible Sun"

Given our Commitment to Design and Beauty, you can see why we support our friends on their campaign!

If you click over to their project, with just under 10 hours to go it'd be wonderful to see our friends get a final push for an Incredible Project!



Learn more about Monte Cook Games on their Website
(Or click the Section Heading above to go directly to the backerkit page and show your support)

Fun Fact, Kate Evans, MCG Marketing Manager, revealed in our Slime, Warp, Solder Community space that she's in a regular Slugblaster Campaign!
Hi, Kate :]


Pandion Games


Pandion Games, known for titles like "The Substratum Protocol" and "Badger + Coyote" (I have a special fondness for games specifically designed for 2 players.), is now taking Pre-Orders and Late Backing for their newest project "Midnight Muscadines"!



In "Midnight Muscadines" player characters are Marmateers, gatherers, preservationists, explorers, spellcasters, and most importantly Jam Makers. Producing Jams from the last source of Magic: Midnight Muscadines!

It is designed for Solo, Duet (As You know I Love a 2 player game), and larger groups too, rules for play with or without GM are also built right in!

And of course, the book is gorgeous! We love to support and further the inundation of Beautifully Designed Landscape Format TTRPG Books!

René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas, Fari RPGs gave the team quite high praise!
(Watch out for some cool upcoming announcements regarding René-Pier and Mythworks [and it's not even the awesome CBR+PNK info you may already know You Mythworks Superfan, You])

Upcoming - Origins Game Fair

Origins Game Fair runs from June 18th to June 22nd in Columbus Ohio and Mythworks will be there in force! We'll have Ray, Graham, and myself as well as a coterie of supporters stepping up to work the booth and run scheduled games to make the event incredible for everyone! I thrifted Sick Slugblaster Drip Specially for it!



Stop by, say hi and check out our Booth 1653! I'll personally be at the booth as often as possible because I love meeting all of y'all and spreading The Good News of Mythworks' Wonders!
(though I'm sure that Graham has scheduled breaks for my "health" or whatever.)
And stop off at nearby Starlight Grove 1646 to support more Dear Friends of Mythworks- (Ryan Khan and) Julien Legault. Though, only Julien will be able to attend.
The Picture that Julien sent me after They picked Their booth location.


Or maybe you're more interested in playing games! There are still a few spots left for our scheduled games of "Pico: Tiny Bugs, Big World" and "Under the Autumn Strangely" made by Graham Gentz featured in our 'Mythworks Presents Line'.

Final Thoughts

Last month, while at ACD Expo in Madison Wisconsin, Mr. Fishy (Caleb) and I ran demo sessions of The Wildsea and Slugblaster for retailers to give them a feel for the game and how best to sell it within their stores! Games were 20-30 minutes, so after we ran through a quick character creation I revealed to them that they're in the middle of cutting a tape for "Interdimensional Funniest Home Videos" (Still hosted by Tom Bergeron, ofc)

Of course, IDFHV has some ground rules to prevent things from getting too wonky too fast.
Prime among them being

Scary isn't funny.
Getting hurt isn't funny. Getting hurt is Scary.
Surprise can be funny, but remember, Scary isn't funny!

Our Crews "Hawt Weelz" "MamaZ BoiZ" and "Rhein Stoned Kow Boiz" each had wildly different approaches!

Do you think IDFHV has any other rules they impose on submissions, post your thoughts or suggestions below!

Also Important: What Would Your Crew do - share below!

Regarding directly collaborating with Retailers

Following a request from Walter Julias of "The Midnight Tavern" in Sayville NY we added a Retail Support tier specifically for Slime Warp and Solder! The tier is 1$ and will allow us to confirm specifics on the Backerkit Survey.

Given that we're expanding into more and more stores through increased distribution and more direct to retailer sales, we'd love to see Mythworks' Wonders in your local stores! If you see any of our delights while visiting a local store, please take a pic and share it with us here or on social media! We Love to see it! (and it's valuable data that can help us better understand our current carrying map)

Alternatively, if your Friendly Local Game Store doesn't carry Mythworks wonders and you want them to, please give them my email [email protected] and I'll help figure out something that works for them!

Once again, thank you so much for your support and community!

This is my first weekly project update on behalf of Mythworks and it is only because a community like You allows Mythworks to Grow! I can hardly wait to see what We do next thanks to You.

Please tell your friends, word of mouth is our favourite! 
Better yet! Go Play our Games!

Truly, Thank You So Much!

Ric
