Project Update: Shipping Charge Problem
Hey! We had an issue with the survey we're working with Backerkit to resolve now - this only affects you if you were a DIGITAL ONLY backer but qualified for an incentive, such as Early Bird.
1 - The physical incentives (Early Bird & Returning Backer) were added to ALL ORDERS, causing shipping to charge. Physical incentives should have only been applied to Physical orders.
2 - If you did not provide a shipping address, you got filed into the "REST OF WORLD" region, causing that shipping charge to be VERY high.
If you did not see the physical item in your cart when approving your order, this would have surprised you, and I apologize! We are working to resolve this now!!! This was our first time using the Backerkit platform, so we were not aware of the need to fix this. We usually add the incentives manually.
So, again, just to reassure you that we are on top of resolving this issue.

Project Update: Shipping Charges!
Status Updates
- Enhanced Core Rulebook - Completed!
- Products (Dice, Pin, Coins, Shirts) - Arriving this week!
- Zines - In playtesting - Print order will go in as soon as I am back from Gen Con (Yes, Earlier than original projections!)
- Cloven Lands - 75% - Fully Written & playtested, now in Final Editing, and then will go to layout
- VTT - Roll20 is moving into internal testing this week
- VTT - Foundry is moving into internal testing the first week in August.
All in all I would say we are ahead of schedule on most things. I am cautious with any promises with the VTT due to the scope & scale of the work, but it does currently look to be on schedule. It is still too early to tell though.
But this big news is:
Enhanced Core Rulebooks have Arrived!
That means a good portion of orders can go out. To that end, we will be charging shipping this Friday. You will get a couple of emails about this, so watch out for anything from Backerkit. If you have a Zine in your order it can not ship yet, but otherwise I think some folks will start seeing their goodies by the end of July!
We did, however, decide not to do split shipping. I tried it with another project, and it was a confusing disaster. 😅 So only orders that do not have a Zine will be eligible to ship early.

Project Update: Mountains of Madness Playtesting Begins
The distressed letter, tattered and stained and thrice-soaked in snow, is miraculously legible. It bespeaks foul news from deep within the Mountains of Adamant...
Mountain of Madness Beta PDF has been distributed!
Written by Nathan Heard, this terrifying tale of Lovecraftian horrors in the MythCraft Universe is ready to drive your players to madness... if they're lucky, at least. This complete adventure for four to six level 5 heroes has been designed by Joie Young and contains illustrations from John Bilodeau, Nathan Deiwert, Eryn Fitzgerald, Jake Neece, Anton Prusov, and Racky.
What's Next?
MythCraft Enhanced is coming along quite well. Here is a status report:
- Core Rulebook is on the ocean, and will arrive this month if there are no delays
- Beyond the Clouds is in layout,
- Haunting of Vel Academy is in editing
- Tales of MythCraft is wrapping up writing
- Cloven Lands is in editing
- Other Physical Items are in production! I have approved samples on everything already, and this stuff... dice, bags, shirts, maps, will be some of the first items completed.
The VTT System is in development, and we've partnered with some wonderful folks to bring this to life. We did have to start completely over, but we are already miles ahead of where the last attempt left us, and I believe we may be ahead of schedule, and we may be performing a closed alpha test by the end of June.
Huge thanks to Caden Levett, an incredible developer, formerly at Roll20, who has worked on DND5e and Pendragon for getting us back on track. We have also contracted with Joseph Meehan, who has worked on Draw Steel and many Pinnacle Entertainment projects, to head up our Foundry development. We're very grateful for these pros coming in and getting us on the right path!
All in all, the schedule is looking good! Things might (and probably will) happen, and we've definitely learned that putting dates on things tends to lead to slowdowns overall, but I am fairly confident that we will meet or beat our original timeline estimate at this time.
Thanks all!
ps. If you would consider yourself a power use of MythCraft, Foundry, or Roll20, (Or better yet, pick 2!) please get in touch with me on Discord. I may want your opinions in the closed VTT alpha!
