Hello Excellent Cats!
 

Here's your monthly message from Eddy Webb!

Realms of Pugmire Update (November 2019) I hope everyone enjoyed Wolfenoot this past Saturday! Please give your good dogs a snoot boop from all of us at Pugsteady and Onyx Path. In the spirit of giving, it's time to give you the latest Realms of Pugmire update!    

TALES OF GOOD DOGS Backers from our original Pugmire kickstarter should have a link for the digital version of Tales of Good Dogs! It's been a long road, but I think you'll agree that the end result is worth the wait. If you get a chance to read it soon, please drop any errata you notice into our form by THIS WEEKEND.    

SPEAKING OF FICTION.... We've been celebrating Wolfenoot and the release of the anthology by giving the Canis Minor community their own gift: Now Canis Minor creators can write and sell Pugmire and Mau fiction! Check out the Canis Minor community content program for details: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/cc/17/canis-minor

So if you've always wanted to write and sell your own Pugmire epic through DriveThruRPG, now's the time!    

WOLFENOOT SALE From now until November 28, Onyx Path and Pugsteady are having a sale on all our Pugmire products, with all digital products at 50% off! Additionally, 50% of all proceeds of the sale will be donated to the Guide Dog Foundation.

Errata Tales of Good Dogs (Pugmire)

 NOW IN ITS FINAL WEEK ON KICKSTARTER - MUMMY: THE CURSE Second Edition

In Mummy: The Curse, players take on the characters of the Arisen, humans who were subjects of the greatest magic ever worked by mortal hands, the Rite of Return, in the long-lost Nameless Empire. As part of the Rite, they underwent ritual death, and their souls were eternally bound to their mortal remains. Consequently, while the Arisen can be killed, they will always return, their bodies reforming anew.

Mummy: The Curse Second Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Arisen: Decrees and Pillars that reflect the transformation by the Rite of Return, Utterances and Affinities as the powers you wield and the price you pay for them, magical relics and vessels for use or sacrifice, and all manner of antagonists from immortals to Shuankhsen and others besides.

Pledge to help us create and get this Second Edition of Chronicles of Darkness' Mummy: The Curse into stores! The campaign has Arisen and is now on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/339646881/mummy-the-curse-2nd-edition/

October Monarchies of Mau Update!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2019 at 06:44:50 PM

Hello Excellent Cats!

Here's your monthly message from Eddy Webb:

Realms of Pugmire Update (October 2019)

Hey there, dogs and cats! It's time for your regular Realms of Pugmire update!  

PIRATES STRETCH GOAL

The Pirates of Pugmire additional adventure is in editing and art direction! As I mentioned last month, the adventure is based in Dalmatian Cove, slotting between the second and third adventures in Pirates of Pugmire. I'm suggesting to the team that it might be laid out to look similar to the adventures in Pirates of Pugmire, so since that book is in layout, we'll see if that's feasible.   

TALES OF GOOD DOGS

The last drafts are in, everything's been copy-edited, and a first layout proof has been made! It may have seemed like the anthology shot ahead after lurking in "Final Drafts" for a while, but once we had everything in hand, we were all so excited that it got a little extra love along the way. Right now the editor and the writers are triple-checking it for typos, and then it'll be out for the good dogs of the Pugmire Kickstarter, and going on sale soon after that!  But while you're waiting, here's the status update for the announced Pugmire products from Onyx Path!

September Monarchies of Mau Update!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2019 at 01:46:43 AM

Hello Excellent Cats!

Here's a message from Eddy Webb:

Realms of Pugmire Update (September 2019)

Hey there, dogs and cats! It's been an exciting couple of months, so let's catch everyone up!  

PIRATES STRETCH GOAL

The Pirates of Pugmire additional adventure is in final drafts! That means I've had a chance to redline it, giving the writer some suggestions and directions to make the adventure the best it can be. As I mentioned last month, the adventure is based in Dalmation Cove, slotting between the second and third adventures in Pirates of Pugmire. It's a totally optional adventure, but if players are looking for more to do, this will be a great option!  

TRANSLATIONS

As was announced in Warlock Magazine, there will be a Japanese translation of Pugmire! It's being handled by our friends at Group SNE. Their main translator, Yuli Bethe, has been posting about it as well, and it looks really exciting! Another one of our translation partners might have some news to share soon as well...  

But in the meantime, here's the status update for the announced Pugmire products from Onyx Path!

More Monsters for 5th Edition Fantasy Gaming...

Onyx Path has teamed up with Handiwork Games to update and expand the legendary Creature Collection for their Scarred Lands 5th Edition setting! Right now, gangs of monsters are battling each other to see who gets to be included in the book! Join in and root for your favorites!

Kickstarter Campaign Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/339646881/scarred-lands-creature-collection-for-5th-edition-rpg

Also: The latest game to be added to the Chronicles of Darkness...

You woke up… different. Someone changed you: on a slab, an operating table, an altar. By luck or by fate, you escaped. Hunted by your creators, they hold all the cards, and it seems they might recapture you. Except, what they don’t understand is they’ve stoked the fires of vengeance; what they did wasn’t right. What they don’t know is that now — you’re hunting them.

Deviant: The Renegades presents a game where the victims of experiments band together to bring down the monolithic organizations that twisted and warped them. Now funding Kickstarter from Onyx Path - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/deviant-the-renegades-a-tabletop-roleplaying-game

August Monarchies of Mau Update!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 07:26:45 PM

Hello Excellent Cats!

From Eddy Webb:

Realms of Pugmire Update (August 2019)

Hey there, dogs and cats! It's been an exciting couple of months, so let's catch everyone up!  

PIRATES OFF TO LAYOUT

Big thanks to everyone who sent in playtest comments! I was able to wrap those up and get it to editing. A couple of weeks ago it came back from editing, I made a handful of additional changes, and now it's off to layout! It's going to dock in the harbor for a bit while the rest of the art rolls in, but we're ahead of schedule, so that isn't a concern right now.  

STRETCH GOAL SAILING AHEAD

Meanwhile, I just got back the first draft of the stretch goal adventure! It's going to focus on Dalmation Cove, slotting between the second and third adventures in Pirates of Pugmire. It's a totally optional adventure, but if players are looking for more to do, this is a great option! It's being written by Josh Heath, who worked on "Adventures for Curious Cats," so this ship is in safe hands!  

THE FUTURE OF PUGMIRE

As I mentioned back in the June update, I'm mulling over the next steps for Pugmire. To be clear, there are already a few projects in progress. One of them is the tentatively titled "Creating in the Realms of Pugmire." It's a combination of my thoughts about writing for Pugmire, some design advice, a little errata, and details on how Pugmire relates to the D&D 5e system. For folks who are thinking of contributing to Canis Minor, or Guides who just want their games of Pugmire and Mau to feel more "authentic," this will be a cool little resource to help out.  

Further, I've been working with some eager companies on Pugmire translations! I'll hold off on details until the respective companies are ready to launch, but I'm excited to see how Pugmire looks in different languages.  

Beyond that? I've pitched some more projects to Onyx Path, and I'm chatting with some other business partners as well. Keep a weather eye on the horizon for more news!

Hello Excellent Cats!

Realms of Pugmire Update (June 2019) by Eddy Webb

Wow, that was an exciting month, wasn't it? Now that Pirates of Pugmire has docked safely in harbor, it's time to look at the Realms of Pugmire as a whole!
 

PIRATES PLAYTESTING TO END SOON
I'm going to wrap up the Pirates of Pugmire playtesting  soon, so I can update the manuscript and send it off to editing. I'll  be closing the form on JULY 1. So, if you haven't had a chance to send  off your comments, now's the time! Here's the link again for those who  missed it: https://forms.gle/G78gYBjX5EkNKFMQ9
 

REFRESHED REALMS OF PUGMIRE WEBSITE
In case you didn't know, the Realms of Pugmire website has been refreshed. Now there are clear pages for all your Pugmire RPG needs, as well as Mau. In addition, we have a new "More Pugmire" page for all related products, such as Fetch Quest, our interactive audio drama, and more! Check it out at realmsofpugmire.com!
 

TAKING A NAP
Between the Fetch Quest launch, wrapping up the Mau stretch goal books, and the Pirates of Pugmire  Kickstarter, there's been a lot happening in the Realms! We have some  stuff happening behind the scenes, but that means things will be a bit  quiet as we focus on wrapping up Pirates of Pugmire  and working on the stretch goal adventure. We're also going to take the  opportunity to think about what's coming next in the Realms. We'll  definitely have more Pugmire goodness coming in future, so stay tuned!

And here's our latest Kickstarter!

March 23rd, 2018, N-Day — the day the world changed forever. Following the tragic explosion of the space station Galatea  in orbit, people around the world began displaying superhuman abilities  of an unexplained nature, starting with New York City firefighter  Randel Portman, later known as “the Fireman.” In the days and weeks  following, dozens more people manifested powers, leading to a worldwide  state of emergency. It was soon clear that the world would never quite  be the same again, as the miraculous and the extraordinary became the  order of the day.

Now, ten years later, in 2028, the world is indeed a different place,  but perhaps not as changed as some hoped or feared. Some two thousand  people worldwide have “erupted” into what is believed to be a new  evolutionary subspecies of humanity, Homo sapiens novus,  commonly known as “novas” and less flatteringly as “aberrants.” Their  presence and powers have changed the world and may offer hope for a  better future, or a looming threat greater than any humanity has ever  faced — or both.

Launching on Kickstarter on July 2nd at 2:00 PM EDT - TRINITY CONTINUUM: ABERRANT.
