Project Update: Gunslinger Knights Upgraded—and Another Big Announcement!

Hello, backers—

Once again you have blown us away, and knocked out another stretch goal. The upgrade to Gunslinger Knights is now unlocked, so the book is getting bigger and the setting even richer—plus we’re adding a poster map!

We unlocked that goal in just over a day, so as we head into the fast-paced final day, there’s definitely time for at least one more. We think you’ll really like the next one. But first we have another announcement.

Another one? After the Old Gods of Appalachia announcement yesterday? And the Character Builder on Monday? Plus the Hacker’s Matrix unlocked, and the Cypher System Bestiary coming out next week? Has there ever been a better time to be a Cypher System Fan???

We think not, but the best is still yet to come…

Announcing CypherCon!

We’re really excited to announce, in conjunction with our good friends at Cypher Unlimited, CypherCon 1.0: Into the Cypherverse!

This online gaming convention will run Friday, September 6th through Sunday, September 8th, and feature dozens and dozens of games. (It will also kick off with a special AMA with the MCG team on Thursday, September 5th.) It will be run through the Cypher Unlimited Discord—a vibrant and welcoming community of Cypher System fans.

This is a great chance to play in games run by some of the best Cypher System GMs in the world, and to sample the enormous breadth of the Cypher System. Look for a roster of diverse and imaginative games to be posted in the next couple of months. (If you’re a GM and want to take part, inquire on the CU Discord.)

If you’re not a member already (and every Cypher System player should be!), join the Cypher Unlimited Discord to keep up with CypherCon news.

Now: Let’s Upgrade EVERYTHING!

We’ve unlocked some really great stretch goals throughout this campaign, allowing us to expand and grow the three central books to create the rich, immersive experience we want them to bring to your game table. But as we close in on the final day, we want to go out with a bang. Let’s do it all!

Our next stretch goal will upgrade just about everything. Yes, everything! We’d like to:

Increase the page count of Neon Rain
Do the same for High Noon at Midnight
Make the poster map in Gunslinger Knights double-sided
Add a couple more maps to the handful already in the Hacker’s Matrix
Add more images to the Otherworldly Sites Pack
Give the Midnight Deck a slightly more premium feel, with foil stamping for the box
Improve the already-upgraded GM Campaign Journal, with more more genre labels, so it’s a great fit for virtually any game you run

Wow, that’s a lot. But you’ve blown us away with this campaign, and we really want to take this chance to make the most of these products.

We’ll unlock this goal at 2,400 backers. Can we do it? It took a little over 24 hours to add the last 200 backers, so it’s definitely within reach. But remember:

IT’LL TAKE YOUR HELP. Even with all our best efforts, MCG can't reach the tens of thousands of gamers out there who might be interested in Knights of Dust and Neon. When you, the backers, mobilize, your combined reach dwarfs ours. Share this campaign, and help those gamers find it. (There are some tips and images you can use in the last update.) Let’s unlock these upgrades!

Thanks so much for your support!
—Team MCG
