First up, one of the projects that came as a result of our campaign is now in beta testing!
The SPU Discord Dice Bot is rolling along on the Onyx Path Discord. From my limited understanding, you can install the SPU Dicebot on your own server and use it in your game, but please report any issues or bugs on Onyx Path's discord so the team can continue to refine it.
Rewards Still Pending
The additional settings that we voted on during the campaign are in development before the final manuscript goes to approval, but that hasn't stopped the book from entering Art Direction and all of the needed illustrations have been assigned to those working on the project. It's all moving along on the project progress track, and I'll continue to share updates from Onyx Path's MMN and monthly summaries in our updates.

Launching Today
Pugmire Unleashed: A Player’s Guide is a supplement for the Realms of Pugmire tabletop RPG. Pugmire Unleashed is primarily a book for players who are interested in new options for their games. Inside you’ll find not only more options for dog player characters, more advice on how to play dogs, and more information about dog communities beyond the kingdom of Pugmire. You’ll also find more species to play: badgers, birds, lagomorphs, and reptiles.
If you have a yen to be a nautical adventurer, there are rules for sailing and ships presented within, as well as a more detailed writeup of the main coastal city, Waterdog Port. For dogs looking to use strange and exotic weaponry, there are rules for gunpowder weapons, as well as the associated syndrome of Gunpower Panic that goes with using them. Combined with loads of new spells and backgrounds, there’s something for every player in these pages.
We haven’t forgotten the hard-working Guide in all this. Within in this book, we present not only some new enemies for player characters to thwart or befriend, but also three adventures that present a loose chronicle using much of the material presented in this book (and Realms of Pugmire). Players should avoid reading the back of the book, in case of spoilers, but most of the book is here for you to enjoy.
