Project Update: Cards Expanded. Let’s Get Luxurious!

Hello, backers—

In an amazing burst of speed, you’ve hit the latest stretch goal! We’re now adding at least a dozen additional creature and cypher cards to the Jewel in the Sky boxed set.

Mockup of the Jewel in the Sky boxed set, showing books, cards, handouts, and other components including more cards and the recently-unlocked mini-bestiary.

And, of course, with this goal comes a free bonus for all backers: another exclusive Jewel in the Sky XP card. At this pace, we’ll assemble a really nice XP mini-deck for use in your Jewel campaign—and these cards are completely compatible with the forthcoming Cypher XP Deck, so you can add them to that if you like, too. (You’ll also get this collection on the Datasphere Deck Tool, so you can use them digitally no matter how you play RPGs online.)

Here’s the design you voted for:


We’re pretty excited about the next stretch goal, but first:

Friday: Talk to Us on Cypher Unlimited

Charles and Liv are talking to the fan community tomorrow evening on the Cypher Unlimited Discord—and we’d love it if you joined us! We’re going to answer questions about Jewel in the Sky and discuss the campaign—and we may have a little treat for CU members!


(If you’re not a member of Cypher Unlimited, the fan community for all things Cypher and MCG, you can join here. The CU is a friendly and welcoming hub for Cypher players to find groups to join, share advice and experiences, or just chat and hang out!)

Now Let’s Talk about the Box

Look at this cool box!

As it currently stands, the exclusive, backers-only deluxe version of Jewel in the Sky comes in a standard game box—sturdy, attractive, and well-made. But one of the great things about building up a product through a crowdfunding campaign is that we can go beyond what’s merely practical and make something that’s truly wondrous. Jewel is going to be a great mega-adventure, and we want every part of the experience to evoke the awe and wonder of Vocurro’s dungeons.

This box will have a handsome die cut and magnetic closure, giving it a reliquary-like feel. It will be a striking addition to your collection even when it’s just sitting on the shelf! 

Help us reach 1300  backers, and we’ll give the boxed set of
Jewel in the Sky this beautiful and inspiring presentation.

Choose the Next XP Card!

Our XP card collection continues to grow! Which design should we add to the collection next?

One card shows a fantasy wizard in red robes, holding a glowing staff and strange talisman, the other a fantasy druid with a staff and a fox sitting on their shoulder.

Keep Spreading the Word!

This has been a fantastic week for Jewel in the Sky, and we’re racking up the stretch goals quickly. This is a pretty short campaign (the timing is dictated by BackerKit’s Mega Dungeon Month promotion), and we’d really like to keep up the pace and unlock a LOT more stretch goals.

That’s up to you! Keep spreading the word. Here are a couple of shareable images, but we’re going one better: We’ve set up a repository with loads of images and art you can share. Click the button and see what we have for you!
