FUNDED! And now Fetch Goals
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 26, 2023 at 02:03:12 PM

Hello Good Dogs!

You deserve a treat! 

Because working together, we helped fund the ongoing development and creation of the Realms of Pugmire PDF, hardcover book, and deluxe limited edition!

WE DID IT!

What a great way to start off the year! 

But let's not rest on our tails just yet - there's a whole month four whole weeks of campaign ahead of us, so let's see if we can maybe add another option or two, maybe introduce some new content and rewards, and celebrate some milestones along the way.

Of course, I'm talking about Fetch - I mean STRETCH GOALS!

We'll start with a classic Onyx Path celebration! Who doesn't want some new options for their wardrobe!

At $32,000 in Funding - REDBUBBLE BARKER T-SHIRT – A Realms of Pugmire-themed Kickstarter Backer shirt will be hosted on Onyx Path’s Redbubble store for a limited time. Only backers will be notified when the shirt becomes available for purchase.

And once we've celebrated our campaign with some cool new threads, let's get a new Add On option to help out our Guides...

At $35,000 in Funding - NEW ADD ON: GUIDE SCREEN - A three-panel Guide Reference Screen with charts and information for running a Realms of Pugmire game will be created and offered as an Add On to the hardcover reward tiers for +$25.

OK, good dogs! We've got our tasks laid out ahead of us! Now to begin our ongoing mission for this campaign.

Oh yeah - and since we've funded our project, it's time to update my campaign avatar!

Great job, doggos! Let's keep at it!

See and Hear the Game in Action!

Hello Good Dogs,

We're SO CLOSE to funding this project! Just a few more dogs needed to join our pack and we'll reach our target!

I'm still getting e-mails from Curious Cats and potential backers wondering about this edition of the game and how the evolution of the setting and rules is presented in Realms of Pugmire. Yesterday's post had a handful of resources that help answer those questions (and I'll share some of those on the main page as well, in case people skip my amazing updates), but I've found one of the best ways to learn more about a game is to see (or hear) it in action!

So today, I've got some Actual Play videos for Realms of Pumgire. Some Pugmire Playtests, if you will.

Tower of the Oliphant

First up, the amazing group at Red Moon Roleplaying explores the Tower of the Oliphant and kicks off their foray into the Realms of Pugmire. 

A Ball to Die For

Next up, the Onyx Path twitch channel is host to their own Realms of Pugmire playtest campaign. A Ball to Die For has begun! You can check out their Session Zero and adventure session below.

I'll have more behind-the-scenes bits and thoughts from Eddy on the design process and goals of Realms of Pugmire this weekend, along with interviews and Twitch streams throughout the campaign.

Tomorrow, we'll have some quick fiction that also helps take us into the Realms of Pugmire, and a sneak peek at the next manuscript section coming on Sunday.

Until then, please continue to spread the word in your social circles and on your social media. I wasn't kidding up top - we're REALLY CLOSE and just need a few dozen more doggos to join our pack and take us over 100%! So let's keep at it!

Explore The Realms of Pugmire

Hello Good Dogs!

We're just starting into our 30-day journey with this campaign, and we've got lots of Pugmire fans and newcomers who have joined to help in our task! But there are also many potential backers - curious cats, you could say - that are still learning about the Realms of Pugmire and what this game is about.

Over the course of this first week, I'll be sharing a bunch of resources:  podcats - I mean, podcasts -  and design diaries, and actual plays, and more to help explain more about this game, this edition, and what all of that entails.

Before we begin, though, I want to share a quick video from Eddy's friends at Extra Credits. To celebrate the launch of the Realms of Pugmire kickstarter, they're releasing some historical shorts about Good Dogs in history!

 EXPLORING THE REALMS OF PUGMIRE 

THE MANUSCRIPT

First and foremost, the best resource you have to learn about the game is the ACTUAL MANUSCRIPT FOR THE BOOK! Before the end of the campaign - before any pledges are processed or payments collected - all backers will have access to the complete draft manuscript for the Realms of Pugmire book. We're releasing it in five sections, one each Tuesday of the campaign. The first section is available to backers now!  The easiest way to know if this game is right for you - pledge now, read the manuscript, and know exactly what you're getting in to. If it's not for you, you can cancel your pledge before the campaign ends with no penalty.

ONYX PATHCAST

Onyx Path's weekly podcast features the Onyx Path trio - Eddy, Matthew, and Dixie - digging into different games, game-related, and game-adjacent topics each week. In episode 241 from a few weeks ago, the trio did a dive into the Realms of Pugmire.

 EPISODE 241: THE REALMS OF PUGMIRE

Listen in to this episode to hear Eddy talk about the Realms of Pugmire, how this game/edition is compatible with Pugmire 1e, the design philosophy, expectations of the system, spells, other species, and more...

Many backers and potential backers are wondering about the changes from Pugmire 1e to this new Realms of Pugmire game - that podcast contains some thoughtful answers to those questions and is a great listen for Pugmire fans! So check it out!

SOME DESIGN BLOGS

Eddy has also been writing a series of quick design blogs that answer some additional questions. Here are a few worth checking out in the early stages of the campaign:

NEW DOESN'T REPLACE OLD - How Realms of Pugmire is an opportunity to adjust the game, while keeping the content you may already have valid and useful. 

WHAT IS NEW - A Refined and Clarified Rules System; New and Updated Tricks, spells, etc.; New Features; Cats and Rodents right away...

CORE RULES CHANGES - You've probably already seen some of this in the first manuscript section, but Eddy has quick notes about things like Saving Throws, Fortune, Sleeping, Heat and Falling Damage, Conditions, and more...

I'll be back throughout the week with more information about Realms of Pugmire - both discussing (or showing!) how it plays, noting how some things have changed, and showcasing bits of Eddy's design directives for this edition.

In the meantime, please continue to spread the word about this campaign! The Realms of Pugmire are a special, magical place, and those who find there way here soon grow to love so much about this game. Let's be good dogs and help others learn about this campaign. Please share in your social circles and on your social media where you can, and let's keep building our backer count and fund this project!
