MORE STRETCH GOALS REVEALED!!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 10:55:51 AM

Wandering Welkins! Backers! Gregarious Goblins!

We have heard your cries from across the land for more information on the stretch goals. So we turned the mist-revealing machine to ultra-mega speed and it pulled away the fog revealing MORE stretch goals. It may have shifted some of the goal thresholds around a bit too. We may have turned it up too far. Oops.

Behold! 

  • An entire set of Meeples! 
  • Adventures from AMAZING guest writers:
    • JP Coovert, cartoonist, illustrator and designer
    • Rae Nedjadi, Nebula award-winning contributing writer on Thirsty Sword Lesbians and designer of Cozy Town
    • Amir Rao, Studio Director of Supergiant Games (Hades, Bastion, Transistor, Pyre)
    • Kienna Shaw, TTRPG writer and designer (contributor to Candlekeep Mysteries, Sea of Legends and more)
    • Luke Gearing, TTRPG writer and designer of Acid Death Fantasy, Fever Swamp and more.
  • Gelatinous Goo Blue Dice Set
  • A beautiful GM screen by John Loren, cover artist of the Mucklands Sandbox! 


Once unlocked, the Meeples (set of 6), dice set, and GM Screen will be added to the add-on category along with their pricing, so you can get them post campaign as well!

Adventurers, thank you for all the love and support we have received. We are so excited to ride with you through the rest of the campaign.

Oh yeah! One more thing. The art for the GM Screen by artist John Loren will be revealed at a later date. Stay tuned to future updates for that announcement!

Thank you!

Fifth stretch goal UNLOCKED!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Jul 17, 2022 at 10:52:46 AM

Citizens of Eem! Backers! Heroes of the realm!

We did it! We’ve hit the 150k milestone, and are adding a Bard meeple in all his tiny glory to the Box Set! But this is no ordinary bard–this is Rickety Stitch (and the Gelatinous Goo), heroes of our fantasy graphic novel series. Now you can gallivant across the Mucklands map in style and regale your fellow players with imaginary tunes.



We have come so far together, friends, but there are miles still yet to go! The next milestone unlocks at 175k where we have a special surprise in store for you. JP Coovert, cartoonist, illustrator and designer extraordinaire, will write and illustrate an Adventure PDF filled with wacky Hijinks for your table. What might be in this adventure you ask? Well, I am pretty sure we should keep that a surprise, but since we like you so much, here is what we can share.

Pirates! Treasure! Skeletons! Ghosts! And hermit crabs?

Whew, that was a lot! Probably said more than we should have. Ah well… Until the next update, adventurers, be safe out there in the Mucklands.

Fourth stretch goal UNLOCKED!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Jul 14, 2022 at 04:52:34 PM

Wayward Explorers, Backers, Charming Bards!

The 125k milestone is now behind us! This grand adventure would not be possible without all of you. So again, thank you ever so much for all your support.

Let’s talk about the goal we just unlocked, shall we?

With the first Sandbox Expansion we’re going to be adding 5 more locations to the Used T’Be Forest region of the Mucklands realm. What nuggets of lore will be contained therein? How much richer will these locations make your journeys into this broken landscape ruined by greed, ambition, and a lack of moral fiber? Well, let us give you a few tidbits.

  • The Stone: An outpost of Felmog quest knights, also home to a dreadful sorcerer!

  • Chief Chopper’s Mill: One of the last operating lumber mills in the region. But with the flatlands all but completely felled, rumor has it, they’ve turned to the haunted forest of Grimly Wood!

  • Muckbang’s: An all you can eat joint run by an orch named Muckbang. Hungry customers headbang to loud music while shoveling slop into their mouths out of troughs. Always a swell time!

We’re super excited to share that when we hit the next milestone at 150k, the Bard Meeple (Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo!) will be added to the Box Set! You’ll be able to mark the map in style as your party gallivants across the Mucklands realm.


Adventurers! Thank you for traveling with us this far. There is so much more to come. We will see you in the next update.

Third stretch goal is UNLOCKED! And more stretch goals revealed!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Jul 14, 2022 at 09:26:16 AM

Wayfarers of Eem, Backers, Loyal Chums!

We made it to the third milestone at 100k! First, a heartfelt thank you from us. Bringing the Land of Eem to life has been a long journey and we are so very grateful to all of you for believing in us and our vision for the game. We are humbled by the outpouring of support.

Now onto the exciting stuff: Rewards!

We have unlocked the Mucklands Explorer’s Guide PDF. What is the Mucklands Explorer’s guide PDF, you ask?

It’s basically a pared down, streamlined version of the sandbox for players. Think of it as a gazetteer to help facilitate player-driven sandbox exploration, with select rumors and lore to spark imagination.

The next milestone is at 125k. This is where we get to start expanding the sandbox, first with the Used T’Be Forest, adding 5 more locations! And BEHOLD! We've parted the mist to reveal the next few stretch goals!


Onwards! To the next update!

Second stretch goal UNLOCKED!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 13, 2022 at 03:13:41 PM

Adventurers of Eem, Backers, Champions of Goo!

We have unlocked the second stretch goal at $$75k! This level of funding will give us the power to create a suite of amazing, wonderful (and hopefully hilarious) online random generators to aid you and your party in your trek through the Land of Eem. Towns, PCs, NPCs, Taverns, Dungeons, and Treasure will all be there, randomly generated at your whim! Muhahahaha!


Thank you again for your support. Each milestone will help us enrich the world we are able to offer you.

The next tier will unlock at the 100k mark where backers will get access to the Mucklands Explorer’s Guide PDF.

See you in the next update!
