Hello again family,

We’re sorry to send you another message so close to our last update, but we thought you might want to hear a few exciting bits of news.

Backers at The Darkness Stares Back and The Darkness Stares Back—New to the Family pledge levels: Good for What Ails Ya, a set of recipe cards with delicious and authentic real-world recipes as well as in-game effects, has been added to your list of rewards in BackerKit—huzzah! (Please forgive us for momentarily forgetting to include it among your rewards.)

The recipes will be authentic, with contributions from Cam and Steve themselves. Imagine cooking up a meal straight from the family traditions of the Old Gods of Appalachia creators—that would make for a great game night, wouldn’t it? We’re also including our advice on bringing your group together to combine a wonderful meal with a fantastic game session.

While this product isn’t ready for fulfillment just yet, rest assured we haven’t forgotten it. If you’re due mamaw’s recipe book, keep an eye on your BackerKit rewards. Plus, this product has also been added as an add-on (try saying "added as an add-on" five times quickly!), so if it isn't one of your pledge level rewards, you can purchase it through the pledge manager.

And one quick message to all of our lovely Old Gods of Appalachia family: MCG fulfills rewards through the MCG Shop, not BackerKit. Each reward will be available to redeem when it completes production. You’re welcome to redeem each one when it becomes available, or wait until they’re all finished to redeem them all together. Each time you redeem rewards, you'll give us your shipping address and pay for shipping.

We kindly ask that if you have questions about our fulfillment process, you give this helpful guide a quick read before reaching out to Jennifer, our wonderful customer service guru. Though she is magical, she is also human, so any self-help you can do before reaching out is greatly appreciated.

Now… are you ready to be terrified?

Want to add more spooky to your existing game? Want to start a horror campaign or adventure? Planning a one-shot for Halloween? 

 

Simply choose the frights you want to put your players through, and get a creepy 31% discount on select horror-focused items on the MCG Shop, including The Darkest House, Stay Alive! and the Old Gods of Appalachia corebook. And enjoy 13% off everything else (not unlucky in this case).

Save, if you dare…

 

Do not enter The Darkest Woods. 

 

 

Brought to you by the minds behind the horror masterpiece The Darkest House, The Darkest Woods is a standalone horror TTRPG mega-adventure and setting. You can insert The Darkest Woods into any campaign—including (perhaps especially) the one you're playing right now. The characters drawn into its mysteries don't even have to all come from the same world, campaign, or game system.

 

Do not enter The Darkest Woods.

 

Thanks again for your support,

Hello family,

It’s been about a month since the Old Gods of Appalachia: Deeper Still crowdfunding campaign closed, and we’re excited to tell you about the progress we’ve made in bringing the enriching supplements and cool rewards you funded to life.

Pledge Manager Opening This Week

The required smoke test for the pledge manager was sent last week. The smoke test opens up the pledge manager to 5% of backers across all pledge levels and gives us a chance to see if we made any errors in set-up. Looks like all is well, so expect to receive your invitation to the pledge manager this week.

Through the pledge manager, you can verify your pledge level, and purchase add-ons, if you wish. (Please remember, we do not collect shipping addresses through the pledge manager. We'll collect your shipping address and shipping payment through the MCG Shop when it is time for your rewards to ship.)

If, after you've received your invitation to the pledge manager, you experience any issues completing your survey, please reach out to us through our Contact Us page and we will be happy to help you. (The team will be away this week to attend Gamehole Con, but we will be back next Tuesday and ready to answer your questions.)

Dig Your Own Grave Now in Development

The manuscript for Dig Your Own Grave has been completed and is now in development—huzzah! This tome, designed for players, expands character options with all-new descriptors and foci, as well as detailed backgrounds and connections that help establish characters even more firmly in the setting and story. Inside you’ll also find additional equipment, player intrusions, and advice to enhance gameplay.

This book will be invaluable at the table, and we can’t wait to get it in your hands. But good things come to those who wait, family, and in the meantime, we think you might want to check out the MCG Shop…
