Project Update: August 2024 Monthly Update

Meow meow meow,

Meow...

Oh my goodness. Can you imagine if I just typed "meow" over and over again for the whole update?

Cats, I think I may be ready for the weekend already. LOL

It's the second last Thursday of the month, so time for our regular monthly update. I've got one reward going out this month to any barkers ... I mean backers ... who added the Realms of Pugmire PDF to their rewards list via Add On, or those who pledged at the House Rex or House Angora reward tiers.

Reward Distribution: REALMS OF PUGMIRE Backer PDF

Dogs have inherited the world, building the kingdom of Pugmire untold centuries after the Age of Man is over. These dogs have been uplifted to use tools and language, and they seek to rediscover the ruins of the Old Ones. Some have learned to use the leftover technology of humanity, but they believe it to be magic handed to them by their lost gods. Others seek to create an ideal civilization, using a Code of Man compiled from ancient, fragmentary lore left behind by humanity. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but good dogs will persevere.

Some highlights of Realms of Pugmire include:

  • An evocative and mysterious setting that’s both family-friendly and deep enough to create compelling stories.
  • The Onyx20 rules system, designed for streamlined play and easy creation of heroic dogs with an emphasis on cooperation and action over competition and violence.
  • A variety of callings and breeds that give access to several fun and interesting tricks.
  • Rival species to interact with, like cats and rodents, along with terrifying and dangerous monsters that roam the landscape.

New features of this edition include:

  • Refined and clarified rules, developed after years of playing and community feedback.
  • New and updated tricks, spells, masterworks, and enemies.
  • New features such as random and template character creation, friendship rules, and safety-tool advice for Guides.
  • Advice on how to create cat and rodent player characters right away.

REWARD DISTRIBUTION

If this PDF was on your list of rewards, your link to claim your Realms of Pugmire Backer PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php



Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24 hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://curious-cats-of-mau.backerkit.com/

BACKER PDF VERSION - This is the first version of Realms of Pugmire 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. They wanted to get this version to you as quickly as possible, but it's not quite finalized yet. They will be correcting minor errata and fixing all of those Page XX notes and adding an index before releasing the finalized version, which will be open for general purchase. Once that happens, you'll be able to re-download the latest version at your convenience from your DTRPG library.

REWARDS STILL PENDING



I'll post this chart in each monthly update, and fill in dots as projects move along.

REWARDS DISTRIBUTED TO BACKERS

DRAFT MANUSCRIPT

In addition to redemption links for distibuted digital rewards, all backers have received a link to the compiled draft manuscript. This link can be found in your BackerKit digital rewards page (See the link above for Claiming Your Digital Rewards if you need a refresher). Again, this isn't a new manuscript, it's just all of the pieces we shared during the campaign put together in order.
