Project Update: The train has finally pulled into the station!
Hello! There's a lot of important information in this update, so please read through to the end.
A BackerKit record, and all Achievements unlocked!
First of all, we managed to set an overtime record on BackerKit! The community came together, and over the course of 48 hours after the campaign "ended," raised an additional $48K and unlocked the four remaining Achievements. Our backer train was over 1300 people by the end!
Confirm your card has been charged
Cards are being charged as we speak. Check to confirm your pledge went through. We've heard some folks' banks have flagged the charge, so just make sure yours wasn't one of them. You still have time to fix your payment method if you need to.
Shipping and pledge manager
The next part of the process is opening the pledge manager and collecting shipping fees. We expect that to be sometime in December; we'll let you know when it's live.
You don't have to wait for us to play The Between!
All of the material for the previous edition of the game is Pay What You Want on DriveThruRPG! Please go download it (and only pay $0). Here are some links:
It's also a good opportunity to make sure your BackerKit email and DriveThruRPG email are the same. We deliver all digital rewards via DTRPG, and so it makes everyone's life easier when those emails match. While you're there, check out our other games, including Public Access and The Silt Verses Roleplaying Game!
Brindlewood Bay & Nephews in Peril Add-ons
Some of you purchased Brindlewood Bay and/or Nephews in Peril as add-ons. For international backers, those add-ons will be sent in January, after we launch the pledge manager and get a good sense of how many we need to send to our international fulfiller. For U.S. backers, we're working with BackerKit to figure out the most efficient way of collecting your address now, before the pledge manager opens, so we can get your books sent right away. It will take a few days to sort that out, so just stand by until you hear from us again (probably via email).
Ain't Slayed Nobody listening party!
The crew over at Aint's Slayed Nobobdy is doing a listening party for Episodes 12 & 13 of their excellent The Between actual play. The listening party is November 5th at 3 PM Eastern. Join us on the Ain't Slayed Discord server! If you need to catch up on this actual play, you can find it wherever you get podcasts; just search Ain't Slayed Nobody.
Future Updates
Hereafter, updates will be monthly, or whenever we have timely information we need you to know about.
Join The Gauntlet Discord server!
As always, we want to invite you to join us in The Gauntlet! It's a fun space, full of people who love indie TTRPGs.
Once again, thanks so much for your support. Now the real fun begins!

Project Update: The Between train is still on the tracks... Will it ever end???
This situation is bizarre and exciting—we're still going. The backer train is 450+ people strong, and we're less that $1500 from unlocking the Unscenes stretch goal!
We have 7 Hargrave House pledge spots open right now, so if you were thinking about getting those dice, grab one and help us hit this goal!
When does the train come to a stop? Honestly, who knows? Let's just enjoy the ride!

Project Update: The Between backer train is STILL running!
We are less than $3K away from unlocking our final stretch goal!
We have kept the backer train going for nearly 40 hours. This is officially the longest overtime period for any BackerKit project, having passed Caverns of Thracia and Brandon Sanderson's game. And we may hold this record for quite some time, haha.
Listen: 2 days ago, we thought we were leaving 4 stretch goals on the table, but because of the community's persistence, we are within striking distance of unlocking the last one. This is an incredible outcome.
Help us get over the line in any way you can!
And join us on The Gauntlet Discord server! It's going to be pretty exciting in there if we can finish this thing up!
We'll see you on the other side (for real this time)!

Project Update: The Between has one stretch goal left!
Beyond all hope, beyond all reason, we have managed to keep the backer train going and unlock all the stretch goals except for the last one: Blood & Coal. We need to hit $285K to unlock it. That will be a tough climb, but we can do it. We've raised over $23K in overtime, so we can definitely raise $18K more.
Obviously, we need your help, especially if you have yet to back. Here are some ways to get involved on this wild train ride:
Obviously, we need your help, especially if you have yet to back. Here are some ways to get involved on this wild train ride:
- Keep spreading the word. People are excited about this bizarre, unprecedented thing that's going on right now with this campaign. People will want to help out just because the situation is so unusual, and because we're a small team with a lot of heart.
- If you can afford to get a higher pledge tier, please do. We've worked it out with the dice manufacturer so we can offer a limited number of extra Hargrave House pledge spots, available now.
- Join us on The Gauntlet Discord server. The energy is terrific right now (if a little loopy, haha). You can help us keep an eye on the backer train, or just offer words of excitement and encouragement.
I'll remind you that this is one of the best deals going in TTRPGs right now. Here's everything you're getting (not including Blood & Coal, which will just add to these numbers):
- Core Rules
- 34 Playbooks
- 57 Threats
- 9 Masterminds
- 50 Unscenes
- Hargrave House expansion
- Shrouded London Locations
- Creator's Kit
We might be here for a while; we're going to stick it out as long as we can. With your help, we can get this last stretch goal done.
Thanks!

Project Update: The Between campaign is in OVERTIME
Hey gang! We've been in overtime for the last 2 HOURS. We are desperately trying to keep it alive so we can unlock The Volatile at $250K. We're getting pretty close—about $3700 to go. We opened up a few Hargrave House spots for folks who weren't able to grab one of those before. Join us on The Gauntlet Discord server and help us keep this thing going!
Let's make a miracle happen tonight!
