Project Update: IMPORTANT! What happens after the campaign ends
TL;DR: There are 5 days left in the campaign, please read this carefully!
Before the campaign ends:
- Check your pledge: Make sure you’re pledged for what you want. To add anything, click “Manage your pledge” from the main page of the campaign. Below we have a list of the other Add-Ons you might be interested in.
- Check your payment method:
- If you’re using a prepaid card, ensure it has enough funds. About 5% of payments fail at the end of a campaign—don’t let that happen to you!
- Failed payments will delay things and impact Stretch Goals, so please double-check now.
- Some banks/cards may require an extra confirmation. Backerkit will email you if that’s needed. (This is especially common with German banks.)
- If you haven’t yet, read the FAQ. We will assume that all the info there has been read and understood.
Coming Soon: Pledge Manager
- The campaign ends Tuesday, November 11 at 7:00 PM CET. After that, no changes can be made.
- Backerkit transfers funds to us within a couple of weeks.
- We’ll spend the following three weeks or so setting up the Pledge Manager on BackerKit.
- Sometimes in December, you’ll get a survey confirming your pledge and giving you a chance to add extras.
- Shipping costs will be finalized later to secure the best rates. No extra charges when completing the survey, unless you add new items—payment for shipping will only be requested closer to shipping time.
- After that, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and wait for updates, which we aim to send out about once a month!
Did Someone Say Add-Ons?
You bet. We’re lucky enough to have a lineup of excellent games that you can now add to your pledge to save on shipping.
Most of these titles aren’t in retail right now, so this might be your only shot to grab them directly. You’ll find everything listed in the Add-On section, alongside all accessories.

Here’s what’s on the table:
Broken Tales Line
Our most successful series to date. Broken Tales is a two-time ENNIE nominee (Best Adventure, Product of the Year), a tabletop RPG of twisted fairy tales where you play as redeemed villains navigating an 18th-century Europe soaked in mysticism and horror.
The line includes:
- The Core Book
- The Broken Ones expansion (includes Solo Mode)
- The most recent entry: Lost Stories
Fast to teach, fast to play, and a consistent hit at conventions.
Dead Air: Seasons Line
Our love letter to The Last of Us, Children of Men, Station Eleven, and all those beautifully bleak stories about what’s left after the world ends.
It’s a game about human struggle, connection, and survival in a world that doesn’t want you anymore. The Core Book was nominated for an ENNIE (Best Setting), and the line also includes:
- Brave New World (packed with ready-to-go content)
- A full narrative campaign: Daughter of the Blight
- Two one-shots and the Solo Mode
Bitter Chalice
This one’s for fans of Elden Ring, Hollow Knight, and everything Soulslike.
A legacy-style RPG with elements of tactical combat, resource management, and sandbox exploration, Bitter Chalice puts you in a cursed world full of grim choices and strange hope. Move across the realm of Vathan, forge your path, and see how every encounter reshapes the world around you.
The game spans three books, includes Solo Mode, and is currently in production.
Available in both standard and limited edition formats.
Valraven: The Chronicles of Blood and Iron
Our low-fantasy, high-tragedy RPG inspired by Berserk and A Song of Ice and Fire. In Valraven, you play as part of a mercenary company, caught between noble houses, a controlling Church, and the whispering pull of demonic forces from beyond.
What will you sacrifice to chase your dream?
Available titles include:
- The Core Book
- The Book of the Eclipse expansion
- A custom Tarot Deck
- And a full spread of accessories to enrich the experience
Monad Echo SRD – Golden Edition
A limited-edition release of the SRD that powers Dirt City Blues, Valraven, Broken Tales, and more. It guides you through using the Monad Echo system in your own settings—and even allows you to publish your work commercially under an open license.
