🎉 What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

We're offering five fantastic DELUXE editions of fan-favorite products this Holiday Market, including the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game, The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game, the Cypher System Rulebook, The Weird, and Stealing Stories for the Devil!



Many of these games were crowdfunded right here on Backerkit and, as part of their crowdfunding campaigns, they were offered as limited-edition items. You can buy the standard edition of these roleplaying games on our website or your friendly local gaming store, but these special editions are really something else!

Today, these rare tomes exist in limited quantities and are not widely available—if they were, they'd each be valued at around $120 or more. 🦌🦌🦌🛷

You have the rare opportunity to get these deluxe items at a discount—up to a whopping 50 percent off! 
Edit


You'll have your choice of any of these five deluxe editions, or any combination of them, up to the full set! And we'll ship them in time for the holiday season, making them a perfect gift for the nerd of any age or interest in your life. 

These rare, deluxe editions are valued at roughly $120 each. Load up your sleigh for huge savings! But just how good is the deal? That's entirely up to you! 🎄🎁

  • Just getting a little something? Get ANY of these gorgeous, deluxe items 20% off for only $96.
  • Need a gift for yourself and a loved one? Snag two for $168—30% off.
  • Three gaming fans on your gift list? Grab any three for only $216—40% off.
  • If you're feeling really festive, choose four for $240!
  • And get a whopping 50% OFF if you load your sleigh with all five editions—that's right, only $300 for five deluxe games—a $600 value—not normally available anywhere

Choose the level that has the quantity you want, and after the campaign ends, you'll tell us which books you want to receive! Here's a quick how-to:

  1. Choose the level for the number of games you want. (See the Pledge Levels tab at the top of the page, or click here.)
  2. Shortly after the Holiday Market closes, you'll receive a link by email to the MCG Shop. Pay attention and don't miss it! 
  3. At the MCG Shop, select the game or games you want (they'll be free in your cart!).
  4. At that stage, you'll provide your address and pay for shipping (which is not collected here in Backerkit). You'll have several shipping options—our standard domestic shipping is a flat rate of only $9!
  5. We'll ship it right out! ⛄

Want to grab a copy of the Cypher System Rulebook for all of your players? Got a group listening to The Magnus Archives horror podcast right now? You can choose multiple copies of the same deluxe game. Go wild—get five copies of the Old Gods of Appalachia RPG, if that's what you're into!
