Updates

Our thanks to all of you who backed his campaign; to Backerkit for accepting us into Pocketopia this year; and to Tabletop Tavern for taking us in as well. The campaign is now over, and we hit our funding target. Yay!

Now, I have to get the pledge manager ready and I will do so while fulfilling pledges from our last campaign, for The Book of Plagues. If you're waiting to buy other books from our catalogue at a discount, you'll have your chance through the pledge manager. In the meantime, please make sure that your credit card info on file with Backerkit is up to date as they collect your pledges.

Unfortunately, all of this means putting completion of Children of the Mountain God on hold because these tasks won't take care of themselves. But all of the basics of the module are in place, and I just have to elaborate on them. As always, I'll keep you up with the news through these updates and through my Substack blog.

We're down to the last few days of the campaign. If you've been waiting to make your pledge, don't wait much longer!

I'll be in touch again in a few days, once the campaign closes. With GAMEX 2026 out of the way, I can knuckle down and finish writing Children on the Mountain God, with Path to Tifala soon to follow.

To those of you who have already pledged your support, thank you!

I know that it has only been a couple of days since my last update, but I always like to post whenever a campaign funds, just to mark the occasion and thank everyone who put down their marker. I had a feeling that attaching the add-ons would put us over the top, and I think that has done the trick.

Anyway, work on Children of the Mountain God is coming along. I hope to post to my Substack blog no later than this weekend about how it's shaping up, and so I invite you to check it out. A free subscription will keep you up on what is going on with Ramen Sandwich Press, and a premium subscription will give you full access to my deep reflections on games and the gaming industry and various free-floating debris about entertainment and culture.

Thanks you again to everyone who has pledged so far, and we have plenty of room for more backers!

Not that I've been checking in multiple times throughout the day or anything, but I've been wondering at the fact that more backers haven't been taking advantage of the opportunity to add on items from our catalogue to their pledge. Based on past history, at least some of you should have taken advantage of the add-ons by now. But so far, nobody.

And then, just this morning, I realized that I hadn't set up any add-ons for this campaign! Well, that explains it. I spent some time today adding them in, and we should be squared away now. If you would have liked to add items from our catalogue to your pledge, you should be able to do so now. I'm guessing that there are at least a few of you among the 40 who have been laid down your markers so far, and if I hadn't botched this we might well have hit our funding goal by now.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, and now you should be able to add stuff to your pledge before the end of the campaign.

It's time for the traditional First Day update, and it looks like this campaign is off to a good start. As I write this, we're 60% funded with 30 backers, and we still have 3 weeks to make up the rest of the ground! Not bad at all, and welcome to old friends and new friends alike!

This means, thankfully, that I can back off of advertising and marketing a bit and get back to actually writing Children of the Mountain God/Path to Tifala. That's always a good feeling. To those of you who have already put down your marker: I thank you. To everyone else: Come on in! The party is just getting started, and everyone here is friendly.

If you haven't had a look at my fellow members of the Tabletop Tavern cross-promotion, I invite you to head over there. 13 campaigns including ours are participating, and if you back 3 or more, you'll get a free bonus item from each creator you support!

Otherwise, I'll post updates when something significant happens, and you can also get more in-depth discussions of what's up with Ramen Sandwich Press at my Substack blog.
