We've just entered July and I've already got an update for you! I didn't want to wait until the end of the month, because it's time for the Curious Cats of Mau Backer PDF to go out to you!
Reward Distribution: CURIOUS CATS OF MAU Backer PDF
The Age of Man is long over. Cats — uplifted from our clever feline companions to use tools and language — now rule the world. In the Monarchies of Mau, cats study relics the Old Ones left behind to create new wonders, expand their understanding of the world, and combat the monsters and minions of the Unseen that threaten catkind. Curious cats explore ruins and set sail on the Acid Sea or participate in games of intrigue against other houses, the dogs of Pugmire, and other rival species.
The world is full of mysteries and dangers, which excellent cats are eager to face.
Some highlights of The Curious Cats of Mau include
an evocative and family-friendly setting, full of interesting story hooks for players to explore and expand upon;
full character-creation rules, featuring a cat’s house and new callings;
expanded details about each of the monarchies, including interesting places to go and cats to meet, plus information on the sinister House Smilodon;
updated spells, masterworks, and enemies; and
three exciting adventures for Guides to use at their tables.
Will you be an excellent cat?

This is the first version of Curious Cats of Mau to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Curious Cats of Mau Feedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Curious Cats Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: <Curious Cats of Mau Feedback Form>
They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Crowdfunding support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
This book is a supplement to Realms of Pugmire. That book contains rules for all the different things your characters might do and important information about the world they live in. Pugmire Unleashed expands on that setting.
Inside you will find:
Chapter One (Dogs): Here are a variety of new rules for Realms of Pugmire: four new dog callings, new tricks and spells, rules for firearms and sailing, the introduction of guilds and lodges in the kingdom of Pugmire, prominent families and citizens of that kingdom, and advice on how to play dog characters.
Chapter Two (Badgers): This chapter covers badgers for the first time in detail, including the recent changes to their society brought about by the rise of their new leader, Kibu the Red. Afterwards are new and complete rules for making badger player characters, including badger-specific backgrounds, tricks, and spells.
Chapter Three (Other Species): Here is where you’ll find a more in-depth look at the history, culture, and relationships of three other species: birds, lagomorphs, and reptiles. Each species also has full character creation rules and presents new callings, tricks, and spells to highlight each species’ distinctive playstyles.
Chapter Four (Empire of Good Dogs): This chapter details a variety of locations both close to and distant from the kingdom of Pugmire. They range from the dog-based cities of Houndton and Mutt Town, to the villages and secret headquarters nearby, and areas featuring other species such as Azuresky and Waterdog Port.
Chapter Five (Adventures): This chapter features three adventures for Guides to help introduce players to the new concepts presented within the pages of Pugmire Unleashed. These can be run one after the other or added into an existing game. It ends with new enemies to use in any Realms of Pugmire game.
We know times are hard these days, particularly with rising costs and economic uncertainty, so we’ve designed this crowdfunder to be as painless as possible. We offer a wide variety of digital options for backing, as well as leveraging print-on-demand technology to have physical products printed as close to you as possible to cut down shipping and reduce tariff concerns.
I'll be back in a few weeks with our regular monthly update, and I'll be happy to add the Backer PDF to our delivered list! In the meantime, download your backer PDF, submit any feedback, roll up some Cat characters, and come check out Pugmire Unleashed to maybe add some badgers, birds, rabbits and more!
