Thanks to our backers who spotted a few minor errors; these have now been corrected!
We’ve also chosen a different cover for the PDF edition to clearly distinguish it from the upcoming physical release later this year. This helps avoid confusion, makes file organization easier, and reduces the risk of the PDF being mistaken for a print file or used improperly. The digital cover is also optimized for screens, free from gloss or glare.
Also: orders are now locked, and we've charged for add-ons. Thank you all for your continued support!
A quick update to address a few common questions we’ve received now that the surveys and PDFs are out:
Pay Over Time: If you selected the Pay Over Time option, please note that BackerKit does not send out surveys until your full payment has been completed.
However, to support those of you using this option who still have an outstanding balance, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] — we’ll be happy to send you the PDFs directly. That way, you don’t have to wait for the final payment to access your rewards!
Missing Surveys: If you haven’t received your survey or can’t find it, you can retrieve it here: https://exorcist.backerkit.com/
Covers: Some of you have asked about the covers — no, the current PDFs do not include them. This is mostly a technical matter, as covers are handled as separate files by the printer. The printed books will, of course, include the covers as shown during the campaign. That said, we’ll update the PDFs soon to include the covers as well!
Spotted Errors: If you find any typos or errors in the PDFs, we’d be grateful if you could send them to [email protected] so we can include corrections in the updated version. Thanks in advance!
Discord: Join the growing horde of gnolls on Discord! Share play reports for all of our games, ask rules questions, or just hang out with fellow backers and the dev team: https://discord.gg/ZPVhRwytCX
Unseal the pages, strike a match, and step into the shadows..! Good reading!
P.S. The PDFs of The Demonologist Journal and The Demonic Symphony aren’t quite ready yet—we’ve prioritized getting the Core Rulebook and GM’s Guide to you first. They’ll be released later this year, alongside the Demon Dice Board—we’ll keep you updated!
And if you backed any of our earlier games (Pax Cthuliana, Svalbard, or Insight Fantasy), those PDFs should be ready to send out within a week. Stay tuned!
It’s still early in development—and hungry for feedback! But the lair is open, and you’re most welcome inside!
You’ll find the Gnolls lurking there—along with files, updates, and everything related to our games! We’d love to hear your play reports, answer your scenario questions, and see you join the general chatter!
Welcome to our tavern, our sacred ground, and our demon-hunting lair!
Exciting news—surveys for The Exorcist’s Codex are just around the corner! In a few days, you'll receive your survey, tailored according to your chosen reward levels and add-ons. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare:
Talisman Deluxe Bundle
If you're among the lucky few who secured the Talisman Deluxe Bundle, your talismans will be shipped as soon as the survey period closes (in approximately two weeks).
NPC Contribution
Whether you chose this as an add-on or as part of one of the two highest reward tiers, you’ll be immortalized as an NPC in an official scenario! The survey will ask for your chosen NPC name and additional details we’ll use to feature you in the game.
The Demonologist Journal Contribution
For those contributing to The Demonologist Journal (as an add-on or part of our premium reward tiers), your creativity will come to life within this immersive in-world periodical! Contributions can be up to 250 words and may include illustrations. You'll receive an email address in the survey to submit your content directly.
PDFs Incoming!
Good news: PDFs of the Core Rulebook and the GM’s Guide will be ready shortly after the survey period ends. Get ready to dive into the The Exorcist’s Codex!
Survey Deadline & Pledge Adjustments
The survey period will run for about two weeks, closing Thursday, June 26th. Once surveys close, all orders will be locked. Until then, you can freely adjust your pledge and add extra items. If you've been following the project without pledging, now's your perfect chance to hop on board!
Important: Even after surveys close and orders lock, you'll still be able to update your shipping address freely until shipping starts. As mentioned previously, shipping costs will be collected separately when items are ready to ship (estimated September/October).
Thank you again for your support—we truly have the best backers and followers!
