Thank you once again for making Lust Sabbath a reality.
We wanted to send you a quick production update to let you know how things are progressing and answer some of your most common questions.
Surveys: we need about one more week before sending out the surveys. We're currently evaluating several fulfillment options to secure the most affordable shipping rates possible, especially for our US backers, since everything will be shipped from Italy. This is by far the most challenging aspect of the project right now, but we're putting a great deal of effort into finding the best solution for everyone.
Merchandise: all of the campaign goodies will go into production this week. Since manufacturing and shipping these items usually takes more than a month, we're starting now to ensure everything is ready for pledge fulfillment between August and September. As soon as we receive samples, we'll share photos and sneak peeks with you!
Writing & Development: authors Valentino Sergi and Atropo Kelevra are currently writing and playtesting the new material. We'll keep you updated on our progress, and we'll have even more to show once the graphic designer starts laying everything out.
Artwork: artist Alessandro Amoruso has just delivered a stunning new batch of illustrations, and the book is now almost complete from an artistic standpoint. Here are a few delightfully spicy previews, exclusively for your eyes!
About the Tarot ads: some backers have noticed social media ads promoting the Tarot Deck and the French crowdfunding campaign for Last Sabbath by our partner Studio Agate, and have wondered how some products can already be available. As we've mentioned before, Last Sabbath was originally released in 2022, while the Tarot Deck and Scenarios have been available in stores and through distribution for the past two years. The real novelty of this campaign is Lust Sabbath (along with a huge selection of exclusive campaign goodies), and we can assure you that you will receive it before it reaches retail stores!
Thank you for your incredible support—we can't wait to put Lust Sabbath in your hands!
OH, PLEASE, KEEP READING, WE NEED YOUR VOTE TOTEM IS NOMINATED FOR THE ENNIES AWARDS!
Totem – The Spirits RPG has been nominated for the ENNIE Awards, the Oscars of the tabletop RPG industry, in the Best Cover Art category! Public voting is open from today until July 19.
The ENNIE Awards are one of the most prestigious recognitions an independent publisher can receive. If you've enjoyed our games, you already know how much we value the dedication, passion, and hard work of our authors and artists.
Your support means a great deal to us—not only for Officina Meningi, but also as a way to show that AI still hasn't matched the talent of a real illustrator. If Totem wins, next month you'll receive The Backroom, an exclusive adventure by Atropo Kelevra and Valentino Sergi, featuring fully hand-drawn illustrations by Alessandro Amoruso, delivered free through our newsletter.
Totem – The Spirits RPG, by Atropo Kelevra and Valentino Sergi, is a narrative horror roleplaying game with simple rules that immerses players in the eerie atmosphere of classic supernatural tales. You will have the possibility to add this wonderful title to your order in the Survey.
Illustrated by Francesco Biagini and Voidface, the game leads your group of Seekers into the unknown in search of contact with the entities that dwell beyond our reality. Explore haunted houses, perform exorcisms, question spirits through the Ouija board, and cross the final threshold into the deepest reaches of limbo. Totem was voted Game of the Year, Best Setting, Best Mechanics, and Best Artwork at the 2024 No Dice Unrolled Awards, and was also shortlisted for Best RPG at the UK Games Expo Judge's Choice Awards.And now, we're incredibly proud to announce that Totem has also been nominated for the ENNIE Awards! After the judges' selection, it's now up to the public vote. We're counting on you, friends of Officina Meningi!
What began as a daring idea has become something far greater than we ever imagined.
Yesterday the campaign for Lust Sabbath has come to an end, and we are still struggling to find the right words.
More than 2,000 Sisters joined the Coven. More than 3,000% funded. Thousands of pages, comments, shares, messages, and moments of enthusiasm that transformed this project into something truly alive.
When we launched this campaign, we knew Lust Sabbath was unusual, Provocative. Completely different.
But we never expected such an overwhelming response from players all around the world.
You didn't simply back a game. You embraced a vision. You helped us prove that there is still room in tabletop gaming for new ideas, original voices, and creators willing to take risks.
Every pledge, every comment, every share, every invitation sent to a friend helped weave this spell.
Because of you, Lust Sabbath and the Last Sabbath Omnibus will become the most complete versions of themselves, enriched by stretch goals, exclusive content and ideas that only became possible thanks to this incredible community.
From all of us at Officina Meningi, and from every author, artist, editor, playtester, and witch who contributed to this project: Thank you. For believing in us and trusting us.
The campaign may be over, but the ritual has only just begun. Welcome to the Coven.
Officina Meningi Creators of Completely Different Games
Just yesterday we had barely unlocked the 1500% milestone when, all of a sudden, the enchantment began its unstoppable run once again, leading hundreds of new Sisters to our campaign.
And today, together with all of you, we celebrate an incredible achievement: 2000% funded and a Coven of 1000 supporters.
Thank you. This has been overwhelming, magical, and completely unexpected.
You unlocked everything we had planned as extras — and even more — allowing Lust Sabbath and Last Sabbath Omnibus to reach their most complete form.
We’re entering the final days of our incredible ritual, and new spicy mechanics have been added to Lust Sabbath.
One mechanic for each aspect of the BDSM system will allow you to experience the XXX Witches’ RPG in new (optional) intimate ways.
We are also reworking classic party games to fit your sessions in unexpected forms.
After “Spin the Bottle” (for Deceit) and “Magic Striptease” (for Masks), at 1500% we unlocked a physical — and exclusive — Ribbon for the Bonds: the intimate threads that bind the Coven together, where affection, desire, devotion, and dependence blur into something magical and dangerous.
Bonds define who you are drawn to—and who you cannot escape.
Only Secrets were missing, and yesterday we unlocked “Truth or Dare” to celebrate 800 Sisters in our Coven.
This mechanic introduces a layer of intimate risk during sessions, preserving the forbidden truths of your characters.
Secrets carry weight, temptation, and consequence — waiting for the moment they can no longer be contained.
COMING NEXT
Many players requested it during conventions, and we are currently preparing a Small Guide to Tarot Reading, designed to help you master the elements of your Tarot Deck and deepen your understanding of its symbolic structure.
We’ve reached 1400%, an incredible milestone considering we’re only halfway through the campaign, and you’ve unlocked the exclusive Lust Sabbath cover poster featuring the magnificent artwork by Alessandro Amoruso.
We are entering the heart of this wonderful collective ritual, and with over 700 sisters in the coven, the atmosphere has become scorching hot!
For this reason, the authors felt it was absolutely necessary to unlock the Magic Striptease, a brand-new alternative cost mechanic for activating Powers that will make your tabletop experience much more... intimate.
COMING NEXT: At 1500%, another new mechanic (and gadget) will make the bonds between characters even tighter! And the surprises are far from over...

I am seeing advertisements selling the Tarot Deck separately.
I'd like to think backers would get their decks before or at the same time as the public.
Can we get any sort of update on what’s happening? Are we supposed to be receiving a survey if so I haven’t received one. Just want to know if it’s going smoothly or if there has been any hiccups. Sorry just really excited for this project thank you!
Hoping the celebrations are going smoothly, just curious what the initial fullfillent timelines (estimated) are for this great project ☺️ excited to have this in hand when it finally arrives. Someone asked are there digital rewards that can get us newbies playing sooner?
