If you’ve not managed to access your digital rewards yet, follow this link or Backerkit have useful guidance here. And if you’re not good at following guidance, maybe Cornwell Consolidated isn’t for you! (Just joking – any issues, please let us know at [email protected]).
The printing of the books is nearly complete, with the books leaving our factory by the end of this month. All of the other components are all currently on boats on their way to our distribution hubs to await the books arrivals!
As such, please check your shipping address and card charges to ensure there are no delays getting your games to you when they arrive.
For those of you in the EU…
Unfortunately, as we are sure many of you have seen, the shipping situation in the EU following the PPWR registration changes is very problematic for small businesses. Many companies are cancelling all shipments into the EU due to the regulation burden being set with these new regulations. This means we are likely to experience a delay in our shipping of all products to the EU whilst we await more information. The EU Commission has already advised its member states not to enforce the new rules, but we need to wait for further confirmation before progressing. We are monitoring this constantly and will update with more information as soon as possible. We understand your frustrations and recommend you contact your EU representatives.
And finally SHIVER fans… if you are intrigued by rustles in the undergrowth or glowing eyes in the shadows… have you discovered SHIVER: Cryptids?
Until next time interns, Cornwell Consolidated / The Parable Team

A Peek Inside the Book, and the First Four Chapters of the Novel!
Good news employees!
The Corporate campaign is coming along so well, with Ben working hard on new artwork, Charlie on layout, Matt sourcing production elements and... Actually Adam finished most of his work, and is now just screaming encouragement at the other three! Well, that and crying in a corner(see below).
The card samples are in, and they're looking great! we've got a few changes to make (all manufacturing spec related), but we're very happy with how these have turned out.
We're hoping to have something very exciting to share with you on soon. One thing we can share with you right away is:
The first Three Chapters (plus Prologue) of the first ever SHIVER Novel is ready to read HERE, and Pre-Order physically Here.
Check out all the weird things that torment interns at Cornwell (and the joys of working with a malevolent and playful AI) today!
The novel is still being reviewed by the team (and wonderful external editor Chrissy), but Adam assures us he's "as happy as he physically can be, given the complete lack of joy he feels in anything he personally creates" with the novel. If that's not a seal of approval, we don't know what is.
Pledge Manager will be Closing Soon! Lock Your Corporate Reward ASAP
Ahh, Logistics. Truly the most fun and predictable part of any enterprise...

When the Pledge Manager closes, there will be a short window (48 Hours) before orders are locked. After that point, if you haven't completed your survey or the address isn't right, you might not receive your pledge. We really don't want that to be the case, so please check your spam and Gmail automated folders.
Hello to all would-be interns and managers alike. Let's get right into it.
Our original timeline for the delivery of the game was optimistic, and unfortunately we weren't able to carry fulfilment through at the times that we had hoped. Due to some learning curves in manufacturing and designing new gameplay and accessory elements (looking at you, card decks and e-books), we're behind where we would like to be on delivering the game.
That said, the book itself is shaping up great, and we really can't wait to share it with you. Our new estimates for delivery are:
Q2 2026 - Digital fulfilment of the Expansion book, novel, and gameplay zines.
Q3/4 2026 - Physical fulfilment.
We know this is disappointing. We tried to make a quicker turnaround on this expansion than our previous SHIVER campaigns, but the stars didn't align for us. Or they did, but not in the ways that would have helped.
On a personal note, I know this is a bit of a let down. But I can honestly say that I am very proud of everything we have made thus far, and everything we are in the process of making. I hope that when you do get the game, it's everything you want it to be.
Now live on Backerkit, ION Heart Multiplayer RPG is the follow up to last years ION Heart Solo RPG. In spite of the name, ION Heart Multiplayer will feature Multiplayer, Solo, and a GM-Less group mode. There's something for everyone!
"Prepare to blast off into the stars with your friends! Explore the universe with your mech-companion in this cosy TTRPG where conflict can be resolved as much with warmth as weapons.
Following the release of the ION Heart Solo Roleplaying Game, this campaign launches the lo-fi Mech-filled world of ION Heart into Multiplayer hyperdrive. Step back in time to the direct aftermath of the Emergence War, where you will help your Mechs, and each other, find a place in this new post-war world."

SHIVER: Corporate is all set to be just as terrifying as the first day at a new job - only infinitely more entertaining.
Follow Corporate to access our free Quick Start PDF below. It comes complete with rules, characters and a special adventure we’ve called “Sinergy”. Oh - and tons of dark humour to get you through those dreary days in the office.
When you’re just starting to think your boss can’t get any worse, we can bet we’ve got you beat.
“Located on scenic Floor 667 because it is right in the middle of the facility’s levels (holistically speaking, not in a physical or practical sense), the Supply Room is an integral cog in our corporate machine. Of course since there is no Floor 13 listed on the elevators (the Cornwell elevator technicians are a superstitious bunch), that makes this actually Floor 666. Which is fitting, because the source of the Supply Room’s endless office supplies is an experimental* portal to a hell world. It’s less fitting for the Floor actually labelled 666 (but is in fact 665) because there they work on “Studies in Practical Satanism in the Stock Market”, which has incidentally failed to yield any useful results.”
