Hey! This is Mike taking over for Wythe to update you on our progress with Enter the Nostalgitron, Scruth-Scruth Steals the Show, and all our other goodies. So buckle up, because we’ve got some exciting news to share!
Scruth-Scruth and the chubcat cousins have arrived!
Enter the Nostalgitron
By now you should have received your Backerkit link to download the PDF version of Enter the Nostalgitron.
If you missed the email, head to nostalgitron.backerkit.com to resend your survey link, and then navigate to your digital downloads page from there.
If you’ve already got your PDFs, feel free to hit us up with feedback! Have you played the campaign yet? Do you have a favourite Cereal Cultist? Inquiring minds want to know!
Scruth-Scruth Steals the Show
We’re so close, gnar! Layout is locked, and I’m just finishing up the last few illustrations. You’ll have this scruth-tastic bonus in your digital hands soon. Of course, I couldn’t wait to share a little preview with you all, hence this update. We hope you love this zany side-quest/bottle episode as much as we do. (Spoilers: we love it a lot.)
Oh, and if you missed it, Wythe and I did a livedrawing stream over on Twitch and YouTube the other day. Check it out to witness the birth of Grodie the Porkdog, one of the many ridiculous characters you’ll meet in Scruth-Scruth Steals the Show. Watch it on YouTube or Twitch, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next livestream!
Everything else Nostalgitronic
Once Scruth-Scruth Steals the Show is finished, I’ll switch over to finalize the other goodies from the campaign, such as the minis and sticker sheets. Then, we’ll send them off to the manufacturer, review proofs, and make any edits.
We’ll share more info on the physical rewards and delivery timelines after we finalize all files. We’re still on track to send off files to print this year and deliver rewards in early 2026. (Insert caveat about tariffs, etc. here.)
Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying
The Kickstarter launch of Danse Macabre is just over the horizon, and between you and me, you definitely don’t want to miss it. I’ve gotten a few little sneak peeks at the game, and I’m in love. Chris, Wythe, and the rest of the Stillfleet Studio team have been putting in the work in on this one, and it shows. In fact, I’m also writing and illustrating a chapter for this new game!
Thank you again for supporting this project. It’s been a blast bringing it to life with the Stillfleet Studio team.
You can stay up to date with all my artistic nonsense by following me on Instagram, Bluesky, and TikTok. And of course, make sure you’re following Stillfleet Studio on all platforms!
Stay frosty! —Mike
Quick shout-out: Scorched Basin
Heyo, Wythe here grabbing the update to let you know about a friend's Kickstarter which the Stillfleet Studio is directly supporting, in a minor way, with voiceover work for some communistic crystal karaoke goblins (yes!). Scorched Basin is a new, expansive Dune + Mad Max-inspired desert landscape and system-agnostic TTRPG setting. It's full of factions, maps, audio, rules for cool vehicle called Bashers, a magical meteor crash, a unique magic system—just tons of weird fun details you can bring into an RPG.
Moreover, the campaign is an experiment in bringing together dozens of indie RPG creators. We're going to talk to the creators soon on Why We Roll and learn all about the concept and how it's going. Check out the campaign now and join us on the Twitch stream on September 20 to ask the creators about their vision.
