Kingdom Vistas (the system-neutral supplement that brings Unscenes out of the Between and into your favorite fantasy game) is finished! I'll do a final proof pass today and get it off to print! We will also update the digital copies here this week.

That will finalize all physical pledge items from the Triptych, but we are still at work on some of the digital tools. Mike Martens is crafting the digital play spaces and packing out the layout toolkit over the next few weeks. Chaotic is still lost somewhere in the Brindleverse, looking for obscure details, but will be crafting their guide. Jason will do some small additional commentary on each title, and then we will schedule some public workshops for December/January to support more folks playing or designing in this space

For folks who missed the campaign, preorders are live on the Plus One site

As I post this, we are headed into the final few hours of funding for Ritual Deck & The 7th Order! We funded last week and have a handful of stretch goals we are working on over the final 48 hours! Both of these games are in art & layout stages and will be out digitally in November! If you love CFB games, the Persona series, and 90s nostalgia... these games are gonna rock your world.

Lastly, we are rounding out the year with ULTRADELVE! A partnership with Stillfleet Studios using their Grit system to explore a near-future world wrecked by partial alien terraforming & the gig economy. If you are a portal fantasy fan (Narnia, Pirenesi & more isekai/LitRPG than you can shake a stick at) then this is a can't-miss game.

We got to send some of the 1st copies of Brindleverse games out to folks at the Gauntlet Writers Retreat, and it was great for so many contributors to be together for the reveal. Wouldn't it be wild if we did this all again next summer?

A quick shipping update! Copies of The Triptych series should arrive for US fulfillment late this week allowing us to start shipping some orders next week. EU/UK they should arrive in about 10 days and shipping will start the week after there as well.

Currently the biggest hold up is on Kingdom Vistas art completion. I should have an update for that shortly, but we are getting multiple spreads a week. I've attached one at the bottom of the email so you can see how great it's turning out!

We will be closing preorders here and moving them to the Plus One Site.

We just launched two more The Kingdom Carved Combo is live on Backerkit!
Two games about shadow vs light, good vs evil & ancient kingdoms looming large.

The 7th Order is a game about mall cops trying to stop the apocalypse!
In Ritual Deck you take the role of elite card duelist at Battle City Prep trying to stop the return of the ancient king of games!

You can back them HERE!

Both games are for stand alone campaign play, and absolutely tremendous articulations of Brindlewood style design. The visual design is also tremendous.

Speaking of visual design here is that tasty Kingdom Vistas art for you to enjoy.

Earlier this week, we sent out updated and reproofed versions of the Triptych games and character sheets. 
I am really thrilled with the community feedback we got, and we did our best to include it. Some of the links still need to be updated and finalized, but the final versions are stunning and taught us a lot about what needed to be in, or could be taken out of, the short-form rules. 

I am doing a final proof pass on each today, and then getting them to the printer tomorrow AM. 

The updates last week didn't seem to automatically notify folks, so we are extending the feedback on Vistas till next Monday. This is just for general and text feedback, as the art and some layout will still be finalized.

The feedback form is HERE, and the digital files are linked in your digital downloads (and emails).

Here is another teaser page with the art, though. It's probably my favorite so far.

For folks who got Monsters Ate My Homework & Ritual Deck Zine Club Edition, those will be added to digital fulfillment this week. For all digital stretch goals, we are working on those assets over the rest of the Fall and will release them as they are ready. At the end of the process, we will have a substantial toolkit to help drive CFB creation even further and help with table play. Also, The Gauntlet and Plus One are excited to announce that we will be doing another Brindleverse Triptych in 2027 with 3 more games. More details to come. 

It's not to late to hop on as a backer for those of you following the campaign!
Backers get free access to all community resources, including the Mike Martens design assets and tools. 

Talk Soon,

You can find the form HERE, and the files in your digital downloads folder here on Backerkit.
Late pledges will also close on this project in 10 days.

The form for that is HERE, but a work-in-progress version of the supplement will be released tomorrow. The art and layout process is intensive, but we have enough done for you to see where we are headed with the final version of the project, and it is text-complete. 
Starting the review lets us keep the process moving. 

The Follow page for our next crowdfunding projects is live! The Kingdoms Carved Combo will bring two more longfrom Carved From Brindlewood games to life. Click HERE to follow.

Kingdoms Will Rise & Fall!
In The 7th Order become rent-a-cops trying to stop the apocalypse as the Four Horsemen draw near.
In Ritual Deck: King of Games it's time to duel! Take on the ancient king of games as students at Battle City Prep.

If you have completed your survey, you should have 3 PDFs on their way to you to preview & review!
This is the core rules text adjusted for each game & the game-specific text, but not the character sheets or other play elements yet! There is also one additional art piece still coming for By Endurance We Conquer.

If you have feedback, notice errors, or have thoughts, please use the form HERE to report them.
It's only been a few minutes, and we have already noticed a few more changes we want to make. 

Kingdom Vistas will have its own review process, but a preview version will be available shortly. The art process is very intensive. There has been a lot of back-and-forth as we hone in on how the layout and artwork come together. Daniel is literally tearing it apart and putting it back together to make something beautiful.

The proces

This also means going back to the drawing board on fonts to match the art as it emerges. 

We should have a preview for this shortly.

Can't wait to see what you think of The Triptych!
