Today we had the pleasure of watching SimzArt working, live, on this wonderful illustration that he is doing for Pumpkin Spice! We hope you enjoy it <3 This version is not final - but it's pretty close!
We also unlocked a couple new stretch goals - we know, we said in our latest update they were the last ones; but you asked for more, and we obliged, because our authors always have a good new idea in their sleeve - and we are getting closer and closer to discovering the Final Spell... we've seen some speculation in the comments, and we can't wait to share!
It's incredible to think we are entering the Last 48 (Rush) Hours. If you are reading this and are still in doubt if backing or not... Take a look at all the stretch goals unlocked, ask us questions here and on Discord, pour yourself a good cup of coffee or tea, and feel the cozy vibes: we know you'll want to join the Coven.
Lastly, we have a new Community goal for which we ask your help. Let's spread the world of Pumpkin Spice and gift a sweet cozy tune to all the backers of the project!
We wanted to thank you for your amazing support: that's why if you reach this achievement, we will gift every backer one of the tracks we are going to prepare for the vinyl!
Because it's going to reveal the first of the new illustrations that he will draw for Pumpkin Spice!

Reminder that this Friday, March 6 is the deadline to complete surveys. About 15% of surveys are still incomplete. If you haven't already done so, please complete your survey!
If you complete your survey on schedule, your items will deliver faster, especially for international backers!
Meanwhile, in other news...
Dragon Rider's Primer is live! This crunchy 5E sourcebook is suitable for both low-level and high-level campaigns. It elevates your adventure to new heights! Featuring 30+ flying mounts, 12 new subclasses, and new feats, spells, and options - for both characters and their adversaries. Check out the project for more info and see the stretch goals we've cleared!
We have some interesting STL-related items, including 3D printed tiles, miniatures, and statues. We are considering adding to the campaign, but before we commit to the final scope, we would like to know more about your preferences.
We're happy to announce that USA + Canada markets are 97%+ shipped as of today. The last wave of shipments just went out, so check your mailbox soon if you haven't already received your package!
Important information for international backers: Please complete your survey by this Friday, March 6!
If you completed your survey by the first-wave deadline, your pledge will be fulfilled in the "late March into April" time frame we mentioned previously. (Based on the latest vessel schedules we've seen, it looks like EU/UK will be on the early side of that window, and AUS/NZ will be on the later side.)
This Friday March 6 is the final survey deadline for international backers. We'll ship a second wave of pledge items to our local-market partners to fulfill based on surveys as of Friday. Any surveys filled out after that will be shipped from the US, which typically means higher shipping costs. So, please complete those surveys!

And yes, in case you're wondering, that IS the same cover artist who designed all the limited edition D&D books in the glory days of 5E! See additional graphic below..
Take your campaign to the skies now!
We're very excited to include cover art by D&D legend Hydro74!
Everything you need for an aerial campaign is here: book with rules, play mat, pawns and pogs!
Progress on Toon Morgue continues steadily, and I wanted to share what’s currently happening behind the curtains.
The designing of the adventure included in the book is now officially underway and is being handled by @ilustracica, who has already contributed several illustrations to the project. Having someone already familiar with the tone and visual identity of Toon Morgue working on the adventure itself is a huge step toward keeping everything cohesive and properly cursed.
Alongside this, I’m excited to share a first look at the Middens illustration, as well as three newly finished pieces by JC (ArtStation): 👉 https://www.artstation.com/
These illustrations push the world of Terloon further into that grim, rubber-hose decay we’re aiming for, and seeing more finalized artwork come in makes the book feel increasingly real.
On the production side, I’ve also begun looking into additional physical rewards, including:
The Fool’s Errand custom deck printing
T-shirts planned for higher-tier pledges
The project itself is firmly on the rails right now. Most of the work moving forward revolves around planning, coordination, and pushing toward final book design so we can move into printing as soon as possible.
That said, a few important decisions are still on the table:
Final layout choices are still being refined, so that we can advance with the full design for the book.
A handful of illustrations are still pending completion
Once those pieces fall into place, we’ll be much closer to locking the book for production.
Thank you all again for your support, every update like this is another step toward getting Toon Morgue into your hands.
