Project Update: We’re Funded! Thank You for Making It Happen!
Thank you, backers!
Things are going to get weird! That’s because, thanks to your incredible support, The Weird has already passed its funding goal. We’re going to give you the inspiration, advice, and thousands and thousands of ideas for making your game—any game—more interesting, engaging, memorable, and fun. And we’re going to take you into the Glimmering Valley, giving you a weird region of the weird Ninth World to explore in unprecedented detail!
As we continue this campaign over the next few weeks, we have a number of stretch goals we hope to hit to further inspire you. Now that we’re funded, let’s talk about the first of these:
For our first stretch goal, let’s make The Weird even bigger! We’ll expand the existing content plan (which already includes thousands of interesting, surprising, gonzo, and whimsical ideas for PCs, NPCs, creatures, places, magic items, gear, spells, abilities, names, appearances, backgrounds, plots, structures, and vehicles, for virtually every genre of play) to include weird events that you can drop into any game. These will have more detail than other categories of ideas—but they’ll still be 100% system-neutral, so you can use them in any game.
This campaign is running hot, and today has been very exciting—and the excitement is sure to continue as the day progresses! We’ll unlock this stretch goal at $150,000.
Be sure to help spread the word—the more people who discover this campaign, the faster we’ll be able to unlock this and other stretch goals!
Thanks again for your support!

Project Update: Deluxe Upgrade Unlocked!
Thank you, again, backers!
Yesterday was an exciting first day for this campaign—thank you so much for your support, which helped us fund and unlock our first stretch goal. This morning we’ve hit our second stretch goal, and the first upgrade to the deluxe edition of The Weird has been unlocked!
Now that we’ve upgraded the deluxe edition, let’s upgrade your character sheet! We’d like to make a set of stickers to “weird up” your character sheet—because your character's sheet needs to be as unique as the game you're playing. We'll make weird images and replacement headers for the sheet, to dress up the common entries like "Equipment" and "Special Abilities." You can highlight that strange new magic item you found, or tailor the sheet to your own personal oddities. Use them to modify your character sheet however you want to make it weird.
This sticker sheet will be included with every copy of The Weird. If your rewards include The Weird (standard or deluxe edition) in print, you’ll get the sticker sheet too. We’ll unlock the weird stickers at $250,000.
Keep spreading the word! We have lots of additional upgrades and expansions—weird, practical, or both—we’d like to make to The Weird, The Glimmering Valley, the decks, and more. Let’s unlock this stretch goal, and see what else we can do!
Thanks again for your support!

Project Update: We’ve Hit Our First Stretch Goal!
Thank you, backers!
What an exciting first day it’s been—so far! No sooner than we announce the first stretch goal, it seems, you have us back writing an update for the next one. Yep, the expansion of The Weird is unlocked, and Monte will add ready-made weird events you can drop into any game!
Things are still moving along at an amazing pace, so let’s talk about another stretch goal. The deluxe version of The Weird is going to be really cool, with its transparent dust jacket, foil cover, and other exclusive features. We’d love to make it even cooler, and we have a lot of ideas to do so.
Because this is a book you’ll reference frequently—at the game table as well as while prepping—the deluxe edition includes a couple of bookmarks. These will be beautiful as well as handy, featuring striking (and weird) art. Let’s improve this feature! At $200,000, we’ll increase the number of bookmarks to three, and add foil stamping and/or a die-cut design to make them truly deluxe.
Keep spreading the word! We have a number of other great ideas for improving and expanding the items you’re funding, and the more people who discover this campaign, the more of these stretch goals we can make happen!
Thanks again for your support!

Never receiceived my pledge. Any way to look into it?

I have been basically ghosted by Montegames support since March. Support messaged that needed to confirm my address, I did, and they never responded over 2 months despite asking. Everything stuck in processing since December. Since I’ve paid for shipping and no responses, I have to message here as it really feels like I’ve been snubbed and Ignored and I really need a response, otherwise I have to go through.
Project Update: The Weird Deck and Glimmering Sites Deck Are Ready For You!
Hello, Weird backers—
Great news! We have begun fulfillment of two of your remaining rewards: the Weird Deck and the Glimmering Sites Deck. If these are among your rewards, check your email for redemption instructions.
That leaves us with just one more item: the minis. These have been in production for several weeks now, but it’s a slow process, so they won’t be complete for another month or so. They do look great, though!
Knights of Dust and Neon!
If you like weird stuff from the fertile minds of the MCG design team, you might want to check out the Knights of Dust and Neon crowdfunding campaign, featuring exciting new sourcebooks for the Cypher System and some fantastic deals for those new to the Cypher System. We’d love it if you joined us in this campaign!
We’ll have more news on the Weird minis—the final reward for this campaign—in our next update!
Thanks again for your support!

I’m sorry to post this, but I have not received the books nor the dice. The site has kept me on ‘processing’ since October for the Books. If possible, I can get an update?

Has everyone received their weird dice? As of today, I'm still waiting for mine, looking back at the order it's being processed since 6th February. Also in regards to the card decks, are they going to be released at the same time?

Did you post the Weird Dice yet?

I backed this project, yet have never seen any confirmation of a shipping date, or anything really. I'm beginning to doubt I'll ever receive it. ANY information would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was very pleased upon opening up the delivery this am. I was impressed with the design and presentation of the OGoA book. This is even better. Kudos folks. This is a Gonzo book. First Question: Are the signed book plates in other backers' copies stashed in odd places inside the front cover? Just curious. May just be The Weird way of doing things. Hahaha. Second Question: Have other folks found the plastic book jacket to be be covered with a lot of small scratches? Just wondering if it is just mine or if other backers have found this. Thanks for a great book, MCG!
Project Update: Weird Dice!
Hello, backers—
We hope that those of you who backed for the spectacular deluxe edition of The Weird have been enjoying that beautiful book—and that, regardless of what edition you use, your games have become more colorful, exciting, and memorable.
Now we’re ready to make your game table even a little bit weirder!
We are now fulfilling the Weird Dice set, and the special promo d20. These silicone dice are really cool—sharp-edged and just a little bit bouncy. They feel great in the hand and roll wonderfully. We’re super happy with how they turned out!
If the dice set or special promo d20 are among your rewards, and you haven't done so already, check your email now for redemption instructions. (If you missed the email, you can find redemption instructions here.) But before you do, here’s a reminder. We’re down to just one more reward for this campaign: the Weird Minis. These are in production now, and we hope to have them in six weeks or so. If you’re getting the physical minis and would like to save a few bucks on shipping, you can hold off on redeeming the dice (or other rewards) until the minis are ready.
We’ll have more news on the Weird Minis in our next update!
Thanks again for your support!

Did the weird deck get fufilled and was just never mentioned?
