Project Update: Unleash Pugmire! [Backer Manuscript Preview #1]

Hello Good Doggos and Brave Badgers,

Pugmire Unleashed is now live and funding on Crowdfunding by BackerKit!



The Realms of Pugmire core rulebook covers a lot of ground, but as players, you know there’s more to see. It’s time to look beyond Pugmire. 

Welcome to Pugmire Unleashed: A Player’s Guide. It’s primarily a book for players who are interested in new options for their games. Inside you’ll find not only more callings, tricks, and spells for dog player characters, but there are also more species player character options, allowing everyone to find something compelling to play within Realms of Pugmire. Along with new places to explore, people to meet, enemies to fight, and adventures to undertake, this book adds a wide variety of new things to your Realms of Pugmire game.

Some highlights Pugmire Unleashed include:

  • Four new callings for dogs, including new tricks and spells
  • Complete setting and character creation information for four new species: badgers, birds, lagomorphs, and reptiles
  • New rules for sailing and gunpowder weapons
  • More information on iconic locations like Houndton, Mutt Town, and Waterdog Port
  • Three exciting adventures for Guides to use at their tables


My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this fun new project - Pugmire Unleashed: A Player's Guide, the latest rules options and setting expansion for the Realms of Pugmire tabletop roleplaying game. Including new rules for firearms and sailing, new dog callings, introducing Badgers and their world, plus more! There's a lot of options to add to your Realms of Pugmire game within these pages.
 
I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, sharing the draft mansucript previews, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.


I’ll note that I’m not part of the creative team on this project – so I won’t be able to immediately answer some of the more intricate rules or design inquiries – but having me manage this Crowdfunding campaign allows Eddy and the Pugmire crew to keep their focus on the awesome projects that they’ve got in the works.

That said, feel free to make me your point person for any questions or issues you may have. I'll make sure to dig up answers as quickly as possible and clear up any issues that arise. Mostly, I'm just looking forward to an exciting ride along with all of you on this project.

Our comment section is for all members of this community – united by our shared desire to see this project fund and develop – to cheerlead the project and figure out how best to spread the word about what we’re building here. If you’ve started a thread on whatever social media platform exists today or a Discord conversation about the game or this campaign – let me know about it so we can share that info. If you’ve discussed the game on a blog or podcast, let’s hear about it! If you’ve got funny ideas for social media hashtags, well we can do those too!

I will also be the person who gets to share the updates and previews with you! As noted on the main page and in the pledge descriptions, I also get to share an exciting treat – The Pugmire Unleashed Draft Manuscript previews, so you can start reading the book immediately! Scroll down to the bottom of this post on the website to see the first BACKERS-ONLY update for a download link.

So, welcome to Crowdfunding by BackerKit! Welcome to a ton of new options for your Realms of Pugmire game! Now let's gather the pack and see howl well we can do on our first day!

Digital and Print-on-Demand Rewards

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.

Creating and fulfilling physical versions this way gets you the best price, fastest delivery, and excellent customer support!

DriveThruRPG's printing partners are located both within in the USA and the UK (and expanding), making shipping cheaper and avoiding the tariffs incurred by international manufacturing and shipping!



Draft Manuscript Previews

Over the course of the next 4 weeks, backers will receive the entire current draft manuscript for Pugmire Unleashed, but it's not going to come to you all in one go. The previews will come out in bite-sized treats throughout the campaign. This helps me seem interesting over the next 28 days, but it's more about guiding the conversation and helping steer feedback for the developers.

Because they want your feedback! These manuscript previews are of the current draft manuscript – the document in its latest, approved form. This may not be the final form after editing and any additional development, but you can consider it about 95% finished, so keep that in mind.

In fact, you can help guide the team through the next stages of development by providing feedback on these manuscript previews! The Onyx Path team has set up a special Feedback Form just for campaign backers for this very purpose: <Pugmire Unleashed Feedback Form>


You can use this Feedback Form to shrea your thoughts directly with the Pugmire developers and help guide them through the next rounds of development and editing.
