We're happy to share some of the book layouts with you below :)
We're hoping to finish the first draft of the book by November. We're still on track to hopefully get this published by the first quarter of 2025. We'll keep you updated once we have a better estimate.
We've also reprinted Flabbergasted. We received advance copies of the reprint and the books should be in our warehouse by November. So exciting! We're really happy with the quality and will be using this printer to print Mystified and the GM Screens as well. Our last update is that the art briefs have been sent out and our artist is working on the final illustrations for Mystified. The artist Dozerdraws will be creating a full illustration for the start of each chapter.
That's all for this update! Please message us if you have any queries.
A small update for our backers regarding the foundry VTT module.You have 24 hours left to use 30% off code on the module for Flabbergasted. Scroll down to see the coupon if you're a backer and be sure to use it before time's up ♥ You can learn more and purchase the Foundry module here.
We're also pleased to announce that once Mystified is done, we will be working on a Foundry conversion for it as well. 🎉 Mystified module will be out next year with Hod Publishing. 🎉
I also wanted to give a shout-out to another game we're crowdfunding right now here on Backerkit! Deadline - A Clockwork Press is the latest game we've been working on.
DEADLINE is a news-chronicling and map-making TTRPG where players take on the role of a journalist for the largest news publishing house in the city. Presented in a newspaper format, this game brings a new approach to storytelling and world-building.
You've asked and we've listened! Flabbergasted our ENNIE-nominated TTRPG is finally available on Foundry VTT! We've partnered up with Hod Publishing for this virtual tabletop conversion and we're very happy with the end result!
The Foundry VTT module contains both the Core Rules plus the “Welcome to Brabble Manor” setting. Apart from converting the entire Flabbergasted book for Foundry, there are some unique features like custom animated backgrounds in landscape format, new club emblems, and a 1920s music playlist.

Next update is that we're officially launching Flabbergasted on Foundry! We promised to get Flabbergasted to a VTT platform and we're so excited that Hod Publishing are going to be developing and publishing Flabbergasted for Foundry. It will be out this September!
Next update is regarding the book progress! We're currently in the process of writing the book and playtesting it further. There's still quite a bit of writing to be done with the mysteries and cities but we hope it'll be mostly ready by our next update and we can show some art and book layouts then.

We're estimating that most of the writing will be done by October/November. We'll then be able to edit and lay out the book by end of the year/early next year. We'll then need to proofread and beta test the final book and do more edits as we go along.
Please message us if you have any queries or need help with anything.
Next Backerkit campaign! A quick update from Mystified – we're excited to announce that we're launching a new game called DEADLINE this September on BackerKit! We'd love for you to check it out, give us a follow, and share it with anyone who might be interested. You can learn more about it here!
