Hello everyone!

For the past while, we've been quietly building something new with Vernal Voyage Studios: YATAGAN: A Roleplaying Game, an original sci-fi/fantasy TTRPG rooted in Turkic mythology. It launches on BackerKit on 13 October 2026, four weeks from today, and the prelaunch page is there already.
Here's where you come in. A strong day one depends on how many people are following before launch, so if you do one thing for us this month, make it this:

YATAGAN is a new system runs on an original Color D12 dice pool, a system where every roll asks you two questions, not one. There are no classes and no levels; your Explorer starts with a Birthright and becomes whatever the Edges let them become. The same rules carry you from a knife fight in a corridor to a vehicle chase to a ship-to-ship battle without changing gears. And the galaxy it plays in, the Nomad Worlds, is one where two gods went to war over the stars and a third side chose to fight them both. How a roll actually works, we will show you in the Quickstart PDF later this month. Until then, the prelaunch page has the first look.

Every follower milestone we cross before 13 October adds a reward to every YATAGAN pledge: 500 followers have already unlocked the Welcome Package and the ladder runs to 4,000 and a full printed table kit. And if you already know you are in, reserve your pledge on the prelaunch page: Everyone who reserves before launch receives a YATAGAN-exclusive Color D12 dice set delivered with their pledge, a reservation costs nothing today.

A free YATAGAN Quickstart PDF is coming later this month: How Stats, Colors and Abilities fit together, and how a roll actually plays out at the table. We will send it to this list the day it is ready, you will hear it from us first.

Thank you for reading this far. Follow the page, send it to the one friend who runs sci-fi and fantasy at their table, and we will see you on 13 October.

More updates will follow soon!
