What is this campaign?

Scratchpad Publishing's first two box set roleplaying games, Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars, released in 2018 and 2020, respectively. Unfortunately, something else also released in 2020: a global pandemic that threw everything from face-to-face gaming to manufacturing and shipping into chaos. For a small (one-person) publisher, this meant that once those two games sold out, reprinting them was going to have to wait.

Fast forward to now. With my third game, Neon City Outlaws, about to go into the manufacturing process, now is a great time to bring both Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars back into print, taking advantage of the manufacturing of the newest game to help offset some of the costs of a reprint.

That's where you come in. This reprint crowdfunding campaign is your chance to get your hands on these two critically-acclaimed, high production quality roleplaying games the moment they arrive.

What's new for this campaign?



This campaign isn't just about reprints, but rather getting these games set up for future distribution and expansion. The new items available in this crowfunding campaign include:

  • The 40-card promo deck, featuring foil-stamped variants of cards from Dusk City Outlaws, Spectaculars, and Neon City Outlaws
  • The Spectaculars Multiverse Pack, containing extra copies of the series pads and setting books from the core game, allowing you to run those campaigns again or create new campaign settings without having to buy the entire book
  • The Dusk City Outlaws Judge's Screen, a full-color, four-panel gamemastering accessory that was previously exclusive to the original 2017 Dusk City Outlaws Kickstarter campaign

Foil-stamped promo deck available as an add-on with any pledge

Shipping Internationally for the First Time Since 2020

While US fulfillment will continue to go through my current warehousing and shipping provider, Blackbox, I am happy to announce that I am partnering with GamesQuest for international fulfillment on this crowdfunding campaign. Regions with the GamesQuest badge are customs-friendly; other regions may have additional customs charges. Additionally, backers in the UK and EU should expect VAT to be collected through the pledge manager before shipping. GamesQuest is unable to ship to Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Iraq, Syria, or Turkey. Due to high rates of packages going missing in some countries, GamesQuest will not re-send games if they go missing to the following countries: Pakistan and Nigeria. Israel may have additional fees due to dangerous handling being imposed by couriers to the region.

Stretch Goals


Thanks to the support of our backers, we are fully funded (less than 12 hours into the campaign!) so now it's time to start working on stretch goals!

Because there are two (or three, if you are also getting Neon City Outlaws for the first time) games that are a part of this campaign, trickling out stretch goals that only applied to one game seemed like a surefire path to disappointment. So, instead, our first stretch goal kicks in at $15,000, but it's a triple-strength reward.


Every backer will receive a complimentary digital download of THREE brand-new scenarios for each of these games. This means every backer will receive:

  • A brand-new job for Dusk City Outlaws
  • A new one-shot issue, and supporting villain sheets, for Spectaculars
  • A brand-new job for Neon City Outlaws

These are scenarios that are being created specifically as rewards for this campaign, so if you backed one of these games' Kickstarters in the past, or have purchased PDFs from DriveThruRPG, not to worry, you won't be receiving something you already own.

Just like with the previous stretch goal, if we hit $20,000 total funding a second new scenario will be created for each of the Dusk City Outlaws, Spectaculars, and Neon City Outlawsgames. I love making new scenarios for my games because they're a great way to get more game content into your hands without overloading these quick-time-to-table games with a bunch of overhead. Plus, there's so much of the worlds of my games to explore, and each new scenario is a peek at a different corner of the world you're exploring or creating.


I'm also revealing a long-term stretch goal: At $50,000, all three games will get a component upgrade, something that makes each game better. I know hitting this goal might seem like a longshot, but we're over 20% of the way there, and we still have most of the crowdfunding campaign to go. Furthermore, while $50,000 is a big stretch, it's also not the last stretch goal I have planned. If we hit that stretch goal, it's not the end of the road by a longshot!

(Note for folks who backed the Neon City Outlaws Kickstarter campaign: If we hit that $50k stretch goal and unlock the component upgrade, you will ALSO receive the upgrade to your Kickstarter pledge, so don't worry about missing out!)
