Hello all you avid adventurers!

We're working hard on the Grim Gazette, and things are moving along nicely. We've got some some fun news back from our manufacturing partners, and can hopefully share some pictures of that for you in next month's update.

For now, make sure you're filling in your Pledge Manager and that your addresses are all up to date!

We're taking a moment from your regularly scheduled Grim Gazette programming to bring you: 

ION Heart Multiplayer!

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."

Soon enough this steam train is leaving the station - are you onboard for adventure?

We're getting close to closing the Pledge Manager, which will lock orders, then start the process of charging cards and lock shipping addresses.

Take a minute this week to check your Survey is filled in (we know almost 20% of you haven't got around to it yet), double check your shipping address and card details (we'll be asking you to triple check before the final call - don't worry), and maybe take a minute to think about any gameplay Add Ons you might want to grab before they're gone.

Need a quick reminder of what's on offer you may not have in your pledge already? Here's a quick breakdown of whats available as Add Ons for this campaign: 

Nightwatch

A solo game exploring exploring the murky streets of a gothic city. Go toe-to-toe with serial killers, and come face-to-face with creatures from beyond the grave, all for a measly pay check and the chance to not die in the poorhouse.

All Aboard

Set a course for adventure in this multiplayer / solo game of swashbuckling exploration. Whether its tackling long lost dinosaurs, or sailing through the clouds, you'll have your trusty custom steampunk vessel to keep you safe.

Stolen Child

The fae folk have played a devious trick, but who will dare go against them to rescue the children? A multiplayer / solo game of tackling the unknown to save a loved one.

The Haunted Manor

The haunting comes home. A multiplayer / solo game about surviving in a terrifying victorian manor house. Spectres, ghosts and ghouls, oh my!

Monkey's Paw

A solo game about taking your revenge - from beyond the grave. Death won't stop you from taking those who wronged you down with you in this game of getting your own back - no matter the cost.

The Grim Gazette Campaign Guide

A guide to turn all five games into one epic narrative. Spanning all five games you'll grow your character and tell their story, from early days to the bitter end. 

Deluxe Accessories

Take your journey into the world of gothic adventure and the macabre to the next level, with a gorgeous journaling set and custom dice and card deck.

So Fill in Your Survey, Make Sure You're Happy, Grab a Friend Who Wants to Late Pledge, and Soon We Will All Be Off On a Victoriana Adventure!

That's all for now, but before we go, here's a sneak peak of some new artwork from Mizer for Stolen Child. We wish you good luck facing this little guy, and hope you don't find him at the end of the rainbow....

Greetings Adventurers,

Work continues on the Grim Gazette games as we polish them off ready for production, everything still currently on schedule!

One of my favourite things is when we have new artwork to share with you and in this months update we have some haunting illustrations to show you! Mizer has been hard at work fleshing out the halls of the Haunted Manor and the terrifying denizens that call it home. Here's a little taste of the terrors that reside there.

Meet the Tall Gentleman - he likes to stroll through the halls at night
Meet the Tall Gentleman - he likes to stroll through the halls at night
Make sure you stay in the light, the shadows have a life of their own in this house...

That's all the horrors we have for you right now, but will have more chilling updates soon! Remember to  join our community Discord to hang out with us and an awesome community of folks: https://discord.gg/StcqgYjv7u
