Hello, backers—

Last month we reported that The Weird was moving through layout and into proofing. We’re happy to report that proofing is about wrapped up, and the book heads to the printer in a matter of days!

(Want a quick look inside? We showed off a few page spreads in our last update, but you can get an even better look by downloading the free preview at the MCG Shop. Preorders are now open for The Weird, so if you know anyone who missed the crowdfunding campaign, be sure to let them know; but don't worry—as always—we’ll ship your copies first!)

Assuming no issues at the printer, we expect to have the book in our warehouses by the end of September. We’ll begin fulfillment as soon as we do!

The Glimmering Valley has completed the editing phase, and layout has begun on that title. It’s a less unconventional than The Weird, so layout won’t be quite as challenging. We anticipate it will move into proofing in just a few weeks, and that proofing will also fairly quickly. We should be able to give you a look inside in our next update.

For over 200 years The Magnus Institute has been dedicated to researching of the esoteric and the weird. Its archives contain hundreds of statements, from people of all walks of life, detailing their experiences with the supernatural.

Enter the archives and help investigate the supernatural horrors found in its records. Encounter the NotThem, the Anglerfish, or the Man Upon the Stair. Learn the truth of the books of Jurgen Leitner, the coffin that is also a pit, and The People’s Church of the Divine Host. And begin to see the patterns that reveal the true horrors connecting these disparate statements.

The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game, based on the wildly popular The Magnus Archives fiction podcast, crowdfunds soon. Sign up to be notified of the launch, and get an exclusive gift when you pledge at any reward level: an actual Magnus Institute audio cassette. What will you find when you put it into your tape deck and hit play?
