Hi, all! Just wanted to let you know that we've been working hard on the pledge manager setup. It will open early next week. BackerKit starts with a "smoke test," wherein they invite a limited number of backers in first, just to make sure everything's working as intended. Then they send the invites to the rest of the backers a day or two later. Either way, look for that email next week!

Edit

When confirming my order for the rewards(All In, Embrace the Cypher System) the PDF version of It's Only Magic was not included in the reward (order number 781682). I'd like to lay hands on that sometime soon, and am worried this may be a more common issue than just me.

Project Update: Early Rewards Coming and a Progress Update

Hello, backers—

Here’s a quick update on the books you funded and some other cool news. We also have a few things to fill you in on regarding existing rewards and the pledge manager.

First, the books! We’ve been moving quickly, and Neon Rain is nearly through the design process. It soon moves into the development stage, which generally takes just a few weeks, and then it’ll head into editing.

The next one in the pipeline is High Noon at Midnight. This title is also pretty far along the design track—in fact, Bruce was just telling the team today that he’s working on an adventure for that book tentatively titled “Showdown in Alchemy Alley.”

Initial planning has been completed for Gunslinger Knights, and it’s looking to be very cool. The design team digs into it deeply next month.

In other Cypher System news, we’re continuing to grow and improve the Cypher Tools suite. This week we started rolling out the pregen characters feature on the Cypher System Character Builder. Making a Cypher System character using the Character Builder takes only a few minutes, but if you need a character right now, you can grab a pregen in just a few clicks. There are scores of options! This feature is still being tweaked and streamlined, but it's available for you to use right now.

In related news, we’ve added the creatures from the forthcoming It’s Only Magic, a modern-magic sourcebook for the Cypher System, to the Cypher System Creature Index. Curious to know what you’ll discover in that book? Want to get a quick peek at the Television Thoughtform, Witchfox, Haunted Car, or Zorp? Check out the Creature Index now!

And with It’s Only Magic coming out before the end of the month, we’re also prepping its rules content to be added to the CSRD for the Cypher System Open License!

We’re Charging Cards

If you’ve completed the pledge manager and made any changes to your pledge (pledge upgrades or add-ons), please note that we’re locking those orders today, and will charge your credit card.

And That Means Early Rewards Are Coming!

If your rewards include any existing products (the PDF of the Cypher System Rulebook, for almost all backers, as well as add-ons such as the NPC Deck or The Weird), keep an eye on your email for fulfillment of those rewards starting in the next week or so. If you haven’t completed the pledge manager, do it now to get those rewards in this round of fulfillment!

And Lastly: Happy Anniversary, D&D!

You may have heard: 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s first roleplaying game. The one that spawned the entire pastime—the entire industry! The game that launched millions of players into the hobby, and thousands of gaming professionals into their careers—many of us, here at MCG, included! Dungeons & Dragons holds a special place in the hearts of almost every tabletop RPG player.

So MCG is celebrating with a big sale on our 5E-compatible products. Given this momentous 50th anniversary, it seems like such a sale deserves and equally momentous discount. How about up to 50% off? Seems like a good fit for a 50th anniversary. Our big 5E sale is going on now!

Thanks again for your support!
—Team MCG

I don't want to be a bother, but I'm very excited to get hands on Its Only Magic. The campaign listed the fulfillment date for previously published materials as being in June. Well June has arrived, and I was hoping to start a campaign soon using IOM! Will IOM be released with the other materials in June? And when in June will the previously published materials be released?

I pledged for Nomad, and was going to add one additional book (I don't want all three), but don't see that option. Is that not an option?

I originally got it quite early and got the physical marker. I tried to get all the PDFs with one book, and was told that I could change to all PDFs and then add the one book I want a physical copy. I switched to all the pdfs, but I can't add a copy of Gunslinger Knights which is the one physical book I want. How can I get this all resolved? Sincerely,and Adam Krump

Heyo, just wanted to see if there were any plans for cypher decks for these 3 cypher settings Being able to hand out cypher cards was the first time my table really "got" cypher system and I would love to have that option here. It wasn't until I had those cards that people understood that the core of the cypher system was the cyphers, in addition it wasn't until those decks that there was any easy way for me to hand them out as frequently as I wanted without unsustainably increasing my prep.

Good morning, I'm a store owner in the College Park, MD, USA, area. My store pledged at the retailer level. I didn't see any options in the pledge manager to increase our order beyond the 3 books that are included in the package. Are extra copies of the books intended to be available in the pledge manager for retail stores or was this an intentional decision? We'll almost certainly be picking up more, but we'd prefer to do it directly from MCG rather than via distribution. Boyd

Project Update: Pledge Manager Surveys Sending Now

Greetings backers,

Thank you very much for supporting Knights of Dust and Neon on BackerKit Crowdfunding.

This is a mini-update to let you know that we're opening the pledge manager for this campaign. Through the pledge manager, we collect the email you use on the MCG Shop (we don't collect shipping addresses). Want to know why we don't collect shipping addresses via the pledge manager? Check out this article on our fulfillment process.

[The first step in opening the pledge manager happened last week, when we sent out the Smoke Test, which is when BackerKit sends surveys to 5% of backers from each pledge level (the 5% of backers to receive surveys is selected at random). This step collates data and lets us know if the survey and pledge questions are working appropriately. It went well, so it's time to open it to everyone.]

It will take most of today for BackerKit to invite everyone involved in the campaign to the pledge manager, so please don't panic if the invitation isn't in your inbox now.

If the invitation to the pledge manager isn't in your inbox by tomorrow (May 14th), you can use this recovery link to join it.

In the coming weeks, we'll have more product-related updates for you, but for now please know that the design team is hard at work creating all of the cool titles you brought to life through this campaign.

In the meantime if you need us, please reach out through our Contact Us page and we'll be glad to help you.

Thanks again,
Tammie and Team MCG

Hi, can we get any news on the add-ons situation please? I would like to add a second book in the pm but there are no option for that. Is that an error or is too late for that?

Can I ask when you're planning to close the pledge manager and charge cards? I've spent an unexpectedly large amount this month on some games I'd been hunting down for a decade, so if you're going to charge my card in June rather than the end of this month you'll get a lot more cash out of me :)

Hi, just filling out my backer survey now and was wondering if we could get dimensions on the t-shirt sizes since not all mediums are built the same, thanks!
