All add-ons are available in our add-on/pre-order store, which is baked right into the BackerKit survey system! If you have any questions or concerns during your BackerKit survey, reach out to BackerKit first, and they'll be able to assist you with most of your concerns. If there's anything they can't help you with, THEN they'll automatically forward your concerns to us.
Of course, we're always available for questions as well, if you have any!
Keeping this message short so the team and I can dive back into the work, but a quick thank-you to each and every one of you!
EDIT: The fastest and easiest way to get ahold of us should you have a question or need assistance is through our Discord, which can be found here.
Backerkit Smoketests have gone out!
over 5 years ago
– Mon, Dec 14, 2020 at 11:18:26 PM
Our BackerKit survey was approved, and the first wave has gone out!
BackerKit requires us to start with a Smoke Test - this means that only 5% of our backers are getting the survey right now, and once we make sure that nothing goes wrong during this process, we'll be able to send out the surveys to the rest of you wonderful folx!
Late Pledge is Open!
The Late Pledge/Pre-order page is open for folx who DID NOT back the Kickstarter! This will be open until we lock down the shipping information for the base campaign at the end of Q1 2021. NOTE: If you want to purchase add-ons/purchased add-ons by adding more to your pledge value, wait until you receive the BackerKit survey.
Spells are done!
We've finished all our weeds editing for Spells, which means they've gone off to the layout artist who will do his final edit pass. Once his edits are finished, he will begin laying out the spells section of the book, and our wonderful card designer will begin putting the spells into their spell-card forms for those of you who wanted spell cards!
Note: This is only a mock-up, the design will change. But, it's happening!
Cheers, and thanks for your patience! Talk soon!
All my love,
Jaron R. M. Johnson

Pre-order/Late pledge now open! Backerkit submitted for approval! Dog photo!

Additionally, we've submitted the BackerKit for approval from the BackerKit team! This means that in just a few days, they'll give us the go-ahead to start sending out surveys for backers! We'll start with what's called a "smoke test," where surveys will go out to a small portion of our backers to catch any last-minute hiccups. Once those backers confirm that the survey works for them and we're sure we're not missing anything, then EVERY backer will get a survey!
Here's a fun little art teaser for you as well - It's A Salt Rifle!
On Core Book PDFs and Sandwich Pledge Tiers
Lots of you have been commenting on the update about core book PDFs having gone out with questions. This is my fault, I should have worded the update more clearly.
Only backers who pledged to get both the core Murka campaign setting AND the Restaurants & Retail setting have received a PDF, and they have ONLY received the PDF for the core campaign setting.
This means:
No backers have received the PDF for Restaurants & Retail yet (as it isn't complete)
If you're wondering whether or not you should have gotten a core PDF, check and make sure the tier you pledged at includes "Sandwich" in the title
As always, if you have questions about this, please feel free to join our Discord and hit me up personally, or leave a comment below and Brad will get back to you ASAP.
Thank you all for being so patient with us. This is an ongoing learning process, but damn, have we made some cool, cool things together. <3

December Update!
over 5 years ago

Hey Y'all!
It's that time again, that's right, it's time for a KICKSTARTER UPDATE! And wow, do we have a doozy of one for ya.
1) Playtesting:
1.1: Playtesting on Restaurants and Retail is officially done! Since the beginning of the Kickstarter we've been running official playtests of the Restaurants and Retail mechanics and have made hundreds of changes, some of them even for the better! However, just because our official playtest games aren't being run anymore, doesn't mean you can't still use the free playtest material found on our Discord for your home games! In fact, they'll be available until we finish editing (more on that later). Just make sure to grab that Playtester role when you join the Discord and then go absolutely wild with feedback til we take it down.
1.2: With the end of Restaurants and Retail playtesting, we've started early playtesting on a tactical board game called Goblin Cave that'll likely end up being published sometime in early 2022 or late 2021 (some of our team like to think WAAAY ahead). It’s an asymmetrical PVP MOBA-style, cooperative/competitive board game. The playtesting process for that is going to look very similar to the process for Restaurants and Retail, so go check out our Discord if you want in on that!
2) Backerkit
A number of you have reached out with concerns as to when the Post-Campaign Backerkit Survey will be going out. We are happy to say that it will be done by asdklfjaldkfjaslf...
..that was weird, sorry anyway the backerkit will be done by al;sdfhuevybqeuorvqn;ckasdflasdf
....What the...the backerkit will be done b.yyyyy....
...done aslfa;sudfa[s
Soon? Soon. Soon seems safe to say. The backerkit will be done Soon. Very soon? Extraordinarily Soon? yes to those, it would appear that some kind of otherworldly presence is keeping me from giving an exact date. But very, very, extraordinarily soon.
When those surveys come, remember that all physical rewards will ship at the same time, and the deluxe editions will likely ship after the standard editions. All of this is to save cost so that more of your money can go towards making the book, and the accompanying adventure path, which will be cool AF.
(heh see what I did there?)
3) Editing
Fee Fie Fo Final Eddying has borgun en Restuarants und Reetale. In all seriousness, we have officially begun what we affectionately call "The Weed Editing" on Restaurants and Retail, which involves us going through the book in its entirety, line by line, word for word, and taking care of all the small, annoying, but vital stuff. Purposely getting ourselves caught in the weeds, hence the name. This is one of the final steps of creating the book, but a vital one that can take weeks.
I just want to reiterate, we may not be QUITE in the homestretch here, but we are getting so close we can taste it. Now, please excuse me while I release my inhibition and feel the rain on my skin.

Core PDFs have gone out! If you ordered both books, check your email!

If you ordered both books, check your email!
If you backed at a tier which offers the core book in addition to Restaurants & Retail, be sure to check the email associated with your Kickstarter account, as you should have received an email from DriveThruRPG with a link to download the core book!
We appreciate your patience in our getting these to you - we wanted to wait until we received funds from Kickstarter, but they're currently a week late in getting us the funds due to a bank error, which has thrown a wrench into the development of a lot of R&R material, and we're sort of at a stand-still until they DO send us those funds.
CRYPTIDS EXPANSION AVAILABLE NOW!
In the mean time, if you're looking for some Murkan goodness, our Cryptids expansion launched, with a tribute to Eddie Van Halen! All profits from that book will go towards the Oral Cancer Foundation.
