Fulfilment Countdown: Locking Orders + Charging Cards Tomorrow
10 months ago – Fri, May 09, 2025 at 08:07:40 AM

Hey Fateweavers,
We’re officially a little over a month into the pre-fulfilment stage, and because of your amazing support, we’re right on schedule.

 The Monsters & Myths campaign was a success — and you made that happen. So once again, thank you.
Now, a heads-up: pledges will be locked and cards charged tomorrow — May 10.

Everything is on track to wrap up pre-fulfilment by the end of May, keeping us firmly on course to complete fulfilment by the end of June. Smooth and steady, just how the spirits like it.

If you’re reading this and you haven’t completed your backer survey yet... there’s no time like the present. And the present is now.

Finishing your survey helps us help you — getting the rewards you so generously backed into your hands, no delays, no drama.

Let’s keep the magic flowing.

Surveys! Get yur surveys (done)! Let's Tie This Thing Off With a Bow, Shall We?
10 months ago – Sat, May 03, 2025 at 05:32:55 PM

Hey Fateweavers,
Almost two-thirds of you have completed your backer surveys — which is excellent. Seriously, thank you.
Now here’s the next big date on the calendar: May 10. That’s when we’ll be locking orders.
If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, this is your friendly nudge to get it done before the deadline. It helps us tremendously. Like, keeps-the-shipping-chaos-monster-at-bay kind of help.
The sooner we get all surveys in, the smoother fulfilment can go. That means rewards in your hands faster, and the whole Monsters & Myths campaign wrapped up with a neat, ceremonial bow.
So come through for us — help us come through for you.
 Let’s stick the landing together.

📬 Surveys Are Live — Time to Lock In Your Rewards!
11 months ago – Mon, Apr 21, 2025 at 11:21:01 AM

Hi Fateweavers,
Good news — all backer surveys have officially been sent out!
Last week, we ran a Smoke Test (that’s when we send surveys to 5% of backers to make sure everything works smoothly), and most of you jumped on it right away — thank you for that!
Now it’s time for everyone to get in on the action. If you haven’t already, check your inbox (and your spam folder just in case) for your BackerKit survey.
Completing your survey is essential.
Here’s why:
  • ✅ It tells us where to send your rewards.
  • 🎁 It lets you select any add-ons you want.
  • 📏 It confirms things like your t-shirt size (if you’re getting merch).
  • 💡 And if your pledge includes special rewards (like naming an NPC), this is where we collect that info too.
Basically: no survey = no rewards 😬
If you’ve got any questions or run into any issues, feel free to reach out. We're here to help.
Let’s get these surveys wrapped up so we can keep moving forward — and get Monsters & Myths into your hands.
Onward,
Marc with Monsters & Myths

🌀 Previously in Monsters & Myths: Village Over Yonder
11 months ago – Thu, Apr 17, 2025 at 04:29:22 PM

Tune in tonight at 7:45pm AST right here!

What started as a quiet seaside retreat turned into a folklore-fueled fever dream.
Trixie "Fizz Weld" and her bug-loving son Olin docked in the misty Caribbean village of Yonder for a bit of R&R. They didn’t expect spectral whispers, monster guts full of centipedes, or a blacksmith’s workshop crawling with unnatural vibes. Reiner, the cyberpunk-styled newcomer, joined the party soon after, curious about the tech-magic tension woven into the town's secrets. And Jiinn? Well… Jiinn turned into a snake and did not explain it. At all.
They’ve faced:
  • A giant centipede (with a deeply unpleasant interior)
  • Spectral figures in the graveyard
  • Folkloric energy hotspots messing with reality
  • Locals whispering about “the sins of the father”
  • And their own shifting relationships under pressure
Trixie has been experimenting with essence-charged gadgets and storm-born tech. Olin’s been slicing through threats with his cutlass, keeping a wary eye on Jiinn's transformations. Reiner’s trying to figure out how this all fits into a bigger mystery, one that’s tangled up in Yonder’s history — and the enigmatic Gran Gran, whose statue watches silently over the town.
Now, the fog’s thickening. The myths are waking. And the truth behind Village Over Yonder is ready to surface.
🌊 The finale is coming.
Old sins cast long shadows.
 And this village has plenty to hide.
