Hello, backers—

It’s been a few months since we last reached out to you—and during that time we’ve been hard at work. Rust and Redemption is through the bulk of the design phase; the team has been playtesting and having a lot of fun with it. The Cypher System Starter Set and Cypher System Bestiary are both also in design. And the Deluxe Edition of the Cypher System Rulebook is on press now. That means we're looking forward to fulfilling it next month!

If you backed at a level that includes existing Cypher System titles—the five genre books; the Ptolus bundle; or the Worlds of the Cypher System titles, for example—or if you are getting these bundles as add-ons, good news: We’re fulfilling all of these existing books starting next week—huzzah!

Look for your redemption email soon. If this is your first time redeeming rewards from one of our campaigns, be sure to read the instructions in your email. We do things a little differently, due to the scale of our campaigns and the fact that rewards are often delivered over the course of several months. It’s a smooth and easy process that eliminates pitfalls and gives you a lot of control, but if it’s your first time you’ll want to make sure you understand the steps.

We have sent the deluxe edition of the Cypher System Rulebook off to press. This is going to be a beautiful book. There are a lot of extra steps involved in creating a deluxe edition like this, with page gilding, debossing, and other elements all adding to the process. Nonetheless, we expect to have it back from the printer in late June. If it's among your rewards, look for news about fulfillment in a month or so!

That’s the description of Bitter Seeds, our official Cypher System event at Gen Con—inspired by our work on Rust and Redemption! Gen Con event registration opens on May 21st. There will be roughly three dozen sessions, so it shouldn’t be too tough to grab a seat at the table—if you hurry. Our events usually sell out, so act quickly when event registration opens.

If you’re going to Gen Con but don’t manage to grab an event ticket, drop by anyway—our games start every two hours, and there are often no-shows, so seats might be available. All of our events—in fact, the entire MCG presence—will be in a large gaming room on the Hoosier Concourse (across from the Exhibit Hall). You won’t be able to miss it.

We’re looking forward to the best four days in gaming, and hope to see you there!

Thanks again for your support!
