Project Update: 📆Timeline Update 🚗 Gen Con 💳 BackerKit Balance Charge Date
Hi everyone👋 I have another exciting update about Molly House and Wehrlegig things, but before we get into it, check out this new art piece that is going to be front and center in the middle of the game board! I cannot wait for folks to see for far the design and art has come since launch. Let this just be a bit of a tease before we share a big art update next month. In this update, I'll share a brief progress update, mention a few key dates to look out for this fall, and chat about some of our Gen Con events next week.
📆 Production Progress
Given that we haven't started mass production yet, the schedule for fulfillment will be pushed back into into late 2024 and into 2025. Exact dates are hard to pin down right now since we are not exactly sure how long pre-production will take, but we're hoping to enter mass production in September (and potentially start mass production of some of the hard components in August). Just rest assured we are taking our time and we want to make the best version of Molly House possible and we can do that because of your support and patience as we enter this next stage.
📆 Key Dates
So what is next on the horizon for Backers? It's mostly a whole lot of waiting for now. Nearly 100% of pledges have been confirmed and locked. The next stage is for us to Charge Cards for remaining balances, which we try to do right before production starts to include all of the late-backers and shipping costs ahead of time. On August 28th, any outstanding Molly House pledge balance will be charged. Many Backers only have their shipping fee outstanding, which will be processed at this time, as well as any fees for add-ons and taxes.
As always, let us know directly over email if you have any questions about card charging or your pledge. Always open to hear from you [email protected]
🚗Gen Con 🚗
Lastly, Cole and I were invited to participate in this curious John Company / qausi-actual play event on Friday night of Gen Con. Check out the info below. If you can attend, even if just for a portion of it, this event will be like nothing else you get to experience over the weekend (especially if you just want to see what John Company is like being played).

Alright! That's all for now. Thank you all so much for being here and helping us finish this game. I cannot wait for the next update where we get to show you photos of production samples, but until then, wish us luck upcoming our conventions this year : )

Project Update: Funded in 30 hours!
A huge huge thanks to all backers for making this happen! This has been a wild ride and it's only getting started!
If you're on the fence still, your support will only make the book better as we hit stretch goals so please consider backing!
Our first stretch goal at $4,000 will add two new archetypes; Wight Mage and Monk (final name tbd). It will also add 2 new artifacts, 2 new cyphers and 2 new cursed artifacts!
We're still overwhelmed and humbled by all the support, this community is amazing!

Project Update: Short update about the unexpected delay update
We've explored the possibility of split shipping and found it challenging to ensure that no stretch goals or add-ons are missed, especially with the hardback and softback releases being just about two months apart. However, if you're eager to get the softback right away, please contact us at [email protected], and we'll do our best to accommodate your request. Please note that separate shipping costs will apply.
For our international friends, combining shipments of both hardback and softback editions is likely the most cost-effective option. We're committed to making sure you receive your books in the best way possible!
Project Update: Smoke Test and Surveys
Today is another milestone for us, as we will be sending out our Smoke Test to a small section of backers, to make sure everything will run smoothly on the BackerKit Pledge Manager end of things. Roughly 5% of you will receive an email from BackerKit PM asking you to complete your backer survey.
If you haven't used BackerKit before, don't worry, it's a simple setup. If you run into trouble, please check all of the super helpful information found at this link (BackerKit backer help). If you are still running into trouble, please email [email protected] with your backer name and email address, and we will help you get sorted.
Very important: your surveys will be sent to the email address that you backed the crowdfund with, so if you used an Apple ID you will need to check that email.
In the survey you will be able to purchase add-ons of extra copies of Hungry Hollow, The Bloom, and Investigators. All of your pledged items will automatically appear in your cart, but you can add extras if you so desire. You will also pay for shipping at this time, so have your address handy. We will not be locking orders or addresses until closer to time to ship, so you will be able to login up until we lock those orders and addresses if you need to change them for any reason.
Very important (so important that we're reiterating it): after exhausting the list of backer-related questions at this link (BackerKit backer help), if you have any trouble with managing your pledge, please email [email protected] with your backer name and email address, and we will help you get sorted. This is the best way to ensure smooth service.
For those of you who didn't back, you are also able to make pre-orders now by using this link:
HUNGRY HOLLOW PRE-ORDER STORE
Thanks again to all wonderful backers and followers. We've sent the (quite large) print run order in and it is getting prepped, and we are excited to get these surveys out to you now!
Project Update: Entropic Isle Solo Play Demo Twitch Stream
Just for clarification, I'll be streaming some Entropic Isle solo play at 10PM ET tonight (7/23) on https://twitch.tv/cypherunlimitedlive !
