Is everyone still here? Summer hasn’t yet brought our civilization to its knees, and vermin haven’t yet overrun the streets. But the collapse is starting to set in. Things are starting to go haywire. We’ve experienced it firsthand, and I’m sorry to say this will cause a (very) slight delay. In this update, you'll find:
🚧 Production update
📅 Delivery Schedule
The factory sent us a digital sample of the entire pledge, and we have to admit it looks great:
It would have been a shame if the screen hadn't been up to par, don't you agree? The printing was almost complete, but we ran into a small problem with our printer. The proof copies we received didn’t meet the required quality standards, so we had to have your copies reprinted. Maybe they imagined the end of the world in red 😊?
The problem has now been resolved, screens have regained their colors. The delivery Schedule remains more or less the same:
✅ PDFs finalized – The PDFs will be sent this fall, when the Pledge Manager will open.
⌛️ Pledge manager – In development. Opening planned for fall 2026.
✅ Printing & production – Printing as we speak. The screens have slightly extended the delay.
🚢 Ocean freight – Scheduled for Late Autumn 2026.
🔮 Shipping to backers – Late Autumn 2026.
All of this should leave more than enough time to play before the collapse! I’d like to thank you once again for your trust and support. The next update should be dedicated to your pledge managers 😉.
You know, Vermin 2047 is about the Collapse and the destruction of our ecosystem. Here in Europe, we are already feeling the first signs of the Collapse: heat domes, intense lightning storms, and some political instability as a result.
It has been more than 35 years since the IPCC warned us about everything we needed to hear and prepare for, but no one has been listening, as always. So what comes next? I fear that sun-mutated vermin will soon erupt in waves from the ground to devour us!
But luckily I have some good news, with the updated production planning: all the books are being printed as we speak, PDFs are finalized! The pledge manager will also open very soon, we are still working on it.
✅ PDFs finalized – The PDFs will be sent this fall, when the Pledge Manager will open!
⌛️ Pledge manager – Scheduled for Fall 2026: soon!
✅ Printing & production – Printing as we speak.
🚢 Ocean freight – Scheduled for Late Autumn 2026.
🔮 Shipping to backers – Late Autumn 2026.
And here's a small preview of the game aids, a map of the Arizona scenario, by Moreno Paissan:

We’re in the final stretch: only a few hours left to join the Vermin 2047 crowdfunding campaign and benefit from all the perks: free gifts, special discounts. If you’ve been hesitating, this is your last call before the doors close!
✅ New Stretch Goal Unlocked: Arizona Cover Art Print by Philippe Jozelon
We’ve just unlocked a brand-new stretch goal: an art print of the Arizona cover, illustrated by Philippe Jozelon, a renowned French artist who has created multiple Vermin covers and a large number of the game’s most iconic illustrations.
Philippe’s style is distinctive: he often starts from a photo-based foundation (reference shots and visual composition), then redraws, repaints, and reworks everything to elevate the mood, sharpen the storytelling, and give the final piece that gritty, immersive Vermin atmosphere. The result feels grounded and real, but unmistakably illustrated.
Thanks again for your support. And if you know friends who’d love post-apocalyptic survival TTRPGs, now is the perfect time to share the campaign before it ends!
⏰ Last days to back: Here’s a recap of all the perks!
Krrr Krrrrr
There are only 2 days left before the end of the crowdfunding campaign! Thank you to everyone who has already joined the adventure. If you’re still on the fence, here’s a quick recap of the perks, and we have added a short guide to the key rewards at the end of this update.
First of all, in addition to the lower prices compared to what we’ll offer at retail (€10 savings on the complete collection), we include thePDFs with the physical books and we’ve added an extra stretch goal: a printed map of an important location from the Arizona scenario.
We are steadily moving toward the next reward: an art print of the Arizona book cover:
Now, here's a quick guide to the Pledge Levels for every post-apocalyptic mood!
👌 I KNOW VERMIN AND I ALREADY HAVE THE SURVIVAL KIT.
You have two options.
👉 If you want all the new releases, choose this reward tier. It includes both books and all the accessories: the new GM screen, an A1 Arizona poster, and pre-generated character sheets.
👉 Or choose this reward tier if you want just the new books.
🙃 I'M A COMPLETE NEWBIE
It’s time to dive into this ruthless apocalyptic world!
👉 Start with this pledge level if you want just the basic rules, the first scenarios, the GM screen and the premade characters.
👉 Or this one if you want all the books, basic rules and the new settings with all the accessories. As a bonus, you’ll also receive three art prints.
We hope to see many of you join the adventure alongside the survivors of 2047. Feel free to join us on our Discord to talk with the fans and the team ;)
Thanks a lot to all of you who have joined this apocalyptic crowdfunding in these first days. We are very happy to develop the Vermin universe with your help.
We just unlocked the first Stretch Goal, a printed map useful for the Arizona book scenario, to track the PCs movements within an important location in the adventure.
This adventure brings a group of PCs together in Arizona through an initial conflict and the opportunity to obtain a headquarters at the end of the scenario.
The next Stretch Goal will be an Arizona Cover Artprint. It will be unlocked at ＄15 000!
Have a safe ride through the Arizona dust desert, survivors. Oh, and come chat with the Vermin community on our Discord, it's a safe place!

Finally, thanks again for your patience and your trust. Beware of the cursed sun, and prepare for the Vermin 2047 PDFs soon on your accounts!
Our team is finalizing the proofreading pass on the layout, it's a big endeavour so we had to take a little more time: PDF will be sent to you this summer, we're very sorry for that :) Of course, everything will be sent to the printer at the end of this month so things are progressing nicely, we're still aiming for autumn 2026 to send you the printed books.
In the meantime, here's an extract about Paris, post-Collapse. Hum, and I want to give you some details about the metro and how the climate change would transform Paris forever.
An extract of the Universe book
"I remember a railway line that ran along Seine. Underground. Ha ha. How crazy, when you think about it. Every year, it was closed in order to reinforce and fix up the enormous walls between the railway tunnel and the river’s bed. Oh, the water infiltration was never that bad, but still, every year, over a month, “Castor” maintenance was performed on the line.
Yup, they had to do it every year. You think they kept at it past the Great Night of 2028? It was already not so spick-and-span in the first place… I don’t know if that’s how it started going downhill, but it didn’t help for sure. Imagine an entire river pouring down into a subterranean railway and subway network. More than twenty lines, interconnected with hallways to allow passengers from one to the other.
In the early 2000s, Paris’s underground had already turned into a giant Swiss cheese that architects had a tough time with, so you can imagine how it went after that… Stations millions of people used to go in and out of on a daily basis, completely flooded. By the way, the flow of Seine used to be a hundred thousand liters every second. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s been a “slight” increase in the sea level over the last few years.
Do you know why Seine used to be so famously snaking? Because it was already at sea level. Not enough elevation difference to flow straight. So when the waves came in, yep, they went all the way from Rouen to Paris. And so, getting back to my previous subject, a few million or billion liters of water filled the whole underground network: metro, RER, catacombs, mushroom beds, abandoned quarries, and who knows what else. With so much weight pressing down, no way that was all going to hold."
And now, the updated production planning:
🚧 PDFs finalized – Proofreading will be completed this month and the PDFs will be sent this summer!
⌛️ Pledge manager – Scheduled for Summer 2026.
⌛️ Printing & production – Scheduled for Summer 2026.
🚢 Ocean freight – Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
🔮 Shipping to backers – Late Autumn 2026.
And if you want to visit Paris one day, try to do it before the rats and the floods ;)
It's time for a new update! This month we are integrating the last remaining corrections on the books layout. Then everything will be sent to our printer ;)
We need to push back the opening of the pledge manager to next month instead of May, because we need a bit more time to prepare the platform.
In the maintime, here is a new preview of one of the books about the communities in a post-apocalyptic country. It's from the Universe book:
"There was this silent, quiet, almost wise community. They didn’t ask anything from me. I don’t know what they wanted to trade. My tiredness, perhaps. I was exhausted, and my silence echoed theirs. No one asked me any questions. The fire was rising between the trees. Night was falling, slow, ponderous. It was an August night, but the August of now, too hot, dry, aggressive, nasty like an ember in your hand. And a little boy came, and they said his name, and it was the name of spring. He sang while the night was gnawing at everyone, all except for him and his voice like a broken bird’s, like split crystal, and his eyes the color of rain-sodden ash. There, he sang about the death of the day and the night that might never end. I think I cried.
I think."
Chilling, isn't it?
And now here's the updated production planning:
🚧 PDFs finalized – Editing will be completed soon!
⌛️ Pledge manager – We will open it when the PDFs are done, during June 2026.
⌛️ Printing & production – Scheduled for May/June 2026.
🚢 Ocean freight – Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
🔮 Shipping to backers – Late Autumn 2026.
And remember: survival is never a solo endeavor, it is the strength of the community that will determine who endures.
April has arrived, and with it, spring. But what is spring when the climate has turned everything upside down in the year 2047?
In any case, our team is making progress, and after spending many weeks reviewing the layout of the books and accessories, we have reached a major milestone: we expect to send the files to the printer as early as next month. We need a bit more time to integrate the corrections, but we think we will be able to complete the files by May.
The spring season means more insects, more critters to harass and slowly kill you. Here is an excerpt from the Universe book about them:
Tiny monsters sent by The Parasite Totem
Here's the production planning:
🚧 PDFs finalized – Editing will be completed soon!
⌛️ Pledge manager – We will open it when the PDFs are done, probably during May 2026.
⌛️ Printing & production – Scheduled for May/June 2026.
🚢 Ocean freight – Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
🔮 Shipping to backers – Late Autumn 2026.
Stay sharp, keep your gear close, and remember: in 2047, the smallest things are often the deadliest.
