Hello Backers and Friends!

We wanted to pop in and give a quick update on Shadow City Mysteries: The Roleplaying Game!

Cards Being Charged & Surveys
  • Cards are being charged! If you've received a message that your card didn’t go through, please address it as soon as possible to avoid being dropped from your pledge.
  • Surveys will likely be going out in the next few weeks. This is our first time running a project through BackerKit, so we’re still working out a few things to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Communication Channels
  • BackerKit: We’ll be sending out an update every month providing a high-level overview of the latest progress, important dates, and what to expect next.
  • Discord:  This is where we dive into the details, unveil concept art, and gather feedback on game mechanics and world-building lore. If you join or have already joined, DM me with the email you used to back the project, and I'll set you up with access to the backers-only space on Discord.

Thank you all for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more about Shadow City Mysteries with you soon.

See you in the shadows,

Dear Backers and Friends,

We did it! Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve hit our €20,000 stretch goal, unlocking the Extra Mystic Subclass: Society of Ravens Mogul—a powerful and mysterious figure for your Shadow City adventures! 🙌 We are beyond grateful for every pledge, share, and word of encouragement along the way.

What’s Next?
Over the next couple of weeks, Backerkit will process the campaign. Shortly after, we’ll be sending out a survey to gather all the details we need for fulfillment.

A quick reminder: shipping and VAT won’t be processed until closer to fulfillment, so you’ll have time to manage those details later on.

We will continue to send out updates and previews of the PDF as they come together, keeping you in the loop on the progress of Shadow City Mysteries.

Thank you all once again for making this campaign a success—we couldn’t have done it without you. We look forward to seeing you in the shadows. 🖤

With gratitude,
