You and I will meet again, when we’re least expecting it. Potentially in a dungeon or cave somewhere. That would be kind of cool.
Welcome, to Night Vale.
Citizens, we’re not really big on ‘goodbye’ here in Night Vale, we hardly ever say it because who would want to leave?
So this isn’t a goodbye. More of a ‘catch you on the flipside’ because as of this week all of the pledges have been delivered.
This page will go dormant, there won’t be anymore regular updates moving forward. We want to say thank you, citizens, for trusting us with this project. This campaign marked many firsts for our crowdfunding team and we’ve learned a lot from all of you, your comments, and your feedback.
The end of updates doesn’t mean the end of hanging out with Renegade!

If you have any questions about webstore orders or need a replacement for any game pieces send an email to: [email protected]
On a personal note I have been a big fan of Night Vale since late 2012. I’ll save the long version of the story for a blog post some day but long story short, this podcast and campaign was extremely meaningful to me and I was honored to get to work on it, to make the Teacup Strex pets, and to get to know all of you.
So thank you, citizens, for trusting us to make this amazing game a reality and until next time.
The trick to a graceful exit is flair and making sure the surprise fire alarm goes off at the right time for you to disappear.
Welcome, to Night Vale.
Hello citizens! This update is mostly for our Canadian friends who are still waiting so patiently for their copies of the game, so if that’s not you, don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye just yet.
Canadian backers, the boat has docked! We actually were emailing with our shipping partners this morning, and they told us that shipping might start as soon as Monday (and if not on Monday, definitely next week!). They’ve also assured us that the Canada Post strike won’t affect your pledge delivery since they ship via Canpar.
Once shipping begins, you should get an email with a tracking number and instructions for rerouteing if you need to change your delivery location.
After all our Canadian shipping is done, we’ll officially complete fulfillment, and these updates will go dormant, like so many slumbering giants.
But that doesn’t mean the end of chatting with us! You can join our Discord and follow us on Facebook and Bluesky. Or you can sign up to get our newsletters! We’ve got our overall newsletter, which you can sign up for here, or you can sign up for our weekly Crowdfunding Column here.
Thank you, citizens, for your continued support. And please keep sharing your adventures in Night Vale with us!
The heart of man is very much like the sea, full of mysteries and boats and probably sharks as well.
Welcome, to Night Vale.
Hello citizens! Apologies for the late update, we wanted to get this out last week but we were waiting for some very important information.
Canada
You have been waiting so patiently and now you'll have to wait a little bit longer. The ship with your games had more than a few delays but now we have a date of arrival! The approximate date of landfall is October 20th and we're hoping that the customs process will be quick so that shipping can start that week.
We truly appreciate your grace and we're looking into Time Magicks and Time Science to see if either of them can make the boat show up faster.
Not Canada
Shipping is DONE for everyone else! If you haven't received your game and are still expecting it please send us an email at [email protected] so we can investigate and get everything fixed up.
BIPOC Games Conference
Thank you everyone who stopped by to say hello while we were at the BIPOC Games Conference! It was an honor to get to showcase the game and answer everyone's questions about the process of making games and representation. Also big thanks to the Strong National Museum of Play, if you're ever in Rochester, NY it's worth a trip!
The aura of TTRPGs is visible in this one
That's writer Rue Dickey, and our beloved Carlos (y'know the game dev?)
This will not be our last update but we are getting close to the end of our regular updates. If you have any questions or need help please email us at [email protected].
And if you want to keep up with Renegade’s Crowdfunding projects we have a new weekly crowdfunding newsletter and you can sign up Right Here!
Good morning, Citizens! Summer has officially tripped over a raised root and is starting to descend into fall, so we wanted to make a quick update to get things sorted out.
Here are our shipping status updates! There's been a lot of hold-ups outside of our control due to the nature of global shipping at the moment (customs may or may not have been infiltrated by StrexCorp, we're still unclear), but finally, we're just over halfway done with all total shipping!
🟩 US – Shipping Has Been Completed! 🟩 UK – Shipping has started and should be close to done, if not done 🟥 CA – The container is loaded but we still don't have shipping info. Hang tight for updates! 🟨 Asia – Shipping was split, so if you haven't gotten yours yet, keep an eye on your email! 🟨 EU – Boat is in the port and clearing customs- shipping should be starting this week or early next week 🟨 AU – Just this morning, we finally got confirmation that, after weeks in customs, the shipment has cleared customs! Shipping is FINALLY starting this week
If your region is marked green and you haven't gotten a shipping email or your game, please reach out to us at [email protected]
And a brief update for everyone who already has their game:
If your package is missing anything (dice, prints, etc.), please email us at [email protected] so that we can get missing items sent out to you ASAP.
About the dice tray. We've previously made a comment about it, but will also be posting it here for posterity:
We're sorry for some of the disappointment we've seen about the dice tray. First, we'd like to apologize – all campaign mock-ups are always subject to change either by the licensor or by us for a variety of reasons, such as supply shortages, feasibility, and more. It seems that the disclosure text about that got left off the graphics for this campaign, and it is something we will be more diligent about in the future. The change was made for a lot of reasons, the most prominent one being that the mock-up dice tray would not have fit in the beginner box we wanted everything to fit into. We will be taking all this feedback and letting the design team know that there is demand for this dice tray, and see if it's something we can potentially offer in the future.
We’re truly sorry this change wasn’t communicated before your games arrived. Notice of the change never made it to our community team, so you didn’t hear about it when you should have. That’s our mistake, and we’re committed to doing better going forward.
Crowdfunding always comes with a lot to juggle — this campaign alone had 28 different items in production before even counting the stretch goals. That’s not an excuse, but hopefully it helps explain how something like this slipped through the cracks. We hope you can offer us a little understanding as we keep learning and improving.
At the end of the day, we’re proud of the game we’ve all brought to life together, and we really hope you enjoy it once it hits your table. Thank you for supporting us, for sharing your feedback, and for being such a passionate part of this community.
Hours will often feel like days, especially if you're caught in the time loop. Weren't you caught in the time loop yeserday? C'mon man.
Welcome, to Night Vale.
Joyous day citizens! After meticulously hand writing each of your addresses on a large bleeding stone we are FINALLY ready to begin shipping! Your patience and care during this extended period of waiting has really warmed our hearts here in town and we're so glad to tell you that shipping begins today (or tomorrow or yesterday, time is relative after all).
In fact, we've even got a photo of one of the games giving the rest a pep talk as they prepare to land in your mailboxes.
That one's gonna be a great motivational speaker one day,
And of course, a big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at Gen Con this year, played any of the games, or just came up to us and gave prophecies based on our nightmares! We love knowing that you're corporeal and we're just as excited as you are about the game coming out.
Turns out Carlos (y'know the game dev?) is also a pretty good photographer too!
We're aiming for a mid-September release for those who didn't back so if you're a non-backer pre-order holder those will be on their way soon as well.
Thank you again citizens, and we'll be seeing very VERY soon.
