Hey there! We’ve got some exciting updates for you today - new releases, partnerships, and future projects.
🌒 First Veil of the Eternal Night Deliverable Sent!
We are thrilled to announce that the first deliverables for Veil of the Eternal Night are on their way to your inboxes! All four boss mini STLs have been emailed out to our backers. Check your email to find these fearsome figures waiting to be brought to life by your 3D printer! Send us pictures of your print and paint in the Discord - we'd love to see!
Speaking of Miniatures...
🧛 New Kickstarter by Beast Miniatures
We just barely missed the stretch goal to produce the last 4 miniatures. SO CLOSE. So when Beast Miniatures, our partner, came to us with the idea to run a mini-Kickstarter to bring those last 4 to life - we were all in! Beast Miniatures is creating four additional minis that complement the Veil of the Eternal Night universe. As a bonus, Veil of the Eternal Night backers who back their current project will receive a free Undead Dice Tower STL! Learn more and support their project here
🎲 Playtesting Open for Soliloquy of Annihilation
The second playtest release is here! The prologue of Soliloquy of Annihilation is now ready for playtesting. This is your chance to dive into the prelude to our main adventure. Grab your gaming group, create some level 1 heroes for D&D or MythCraft, and prepare to battle the night creatures. Playtesting is reserved for Discord members, so if you want to check out this content you can join the Discord here
🐈 Announcing Bria's Mythical Menagerie
Lastly, I'm happy to introduce Bria's Mythical Menagerie. After my partner and I created the Baby Landshark, Ratu the Bat, and Mori the Reaper - we decided to go all in and create an entire TTRPG plush project. This will be a collection of TTRPG plush and a creature-collecting tome for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition in partnership with QuasiReal Publishing. Learn more, reserve your pledge here for exclusive perks, including a free Astral Kitty Plush Keychain!

First off - Surveys!
The surveys are going quite well. Already, 80% are done, which is really incredible for our first round of reminders. You all rock! This really helps us get accurate counts and get production started promptly, so thank you!
If you haven't gotten a survey, please let us know at [email protected] or #open-a-ticket in Discord!
And of course, the big announcement:
Phase 1 of playtesting for Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting has launched!
A sliver of pale moonlight sighs through the clouds like a knife through ribs, eliciting the keening cries of wolves and lycans. Horrors from dark planes lurk in the orifices, tethering our world to theirs, waiting to disembowel any unsuspecting prey.
Markets crawl with charlatans and cutpurses prowling for easy marks. In darkened alleys, brutish thugs pillage those unfortunate enough to stumble into their grasp. Corrupt watchmen turn a blind eye, or may even be in on the racket themselves. And there is no hope of salvation from the powers that be; near and far, town and kingdom bleed in anguish under the reign of their vampire lords.
Warlords amass horrid armies of the twisted creatures from Hell. Black knights from a faraway plane lord over their dominions.
The world is hurting.
The world despairs.
Can you offer it salve?
Can you offer it hope?
Delve into Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting to take on the darkest horrors of Norspina, Shadowcroft, and Hell itself.

Veil of the Eternal Night Surveys are going out!
Hello all,
Quick update that we are starting the test surveys (Known as "The Smoke Test") tomorrow! And pending any issues with those, everyone should get their survey this Friday or next Monday (April 1st, 2024) - keep an eye out!
You will use this survey to answer the questions we need to fulfill your pledge, adjust your pledge with new add-ons, and give us shipping info.
Don't worry - you won't be charged until closer to the fulfillment date, and you will have time to update your shipping address if that changes over the next few months. I'll give plenty of warning before any of that is "Locked" in and before you get charged.
Add-ons you won't want to miss!
There are a few stretch goals that were unlocked near the end of the campaign that I want to make sure you check out!
We unlocked all the pin lines, the Garlic dice, and the Death Dice Tray!
The survey came a little later, in part, to give us some time to complete all the unlocked pin designs.
Check out the Artifact pins by Jake Neece, and get all three pin lines!
Keep Dracula at bay with the Garlic Dice!
And protect your table and control your rolls with the Death Dice Tray!
Pre-Order Store is Live, Free FanRoll Dice, and more!

Hey everyone! Good to see you all again. I wanted to share a few things with you. To start,
The Pre-Order Store is Live!
We have had many requests from folks who missed the campaign for preorders, and we're live right now!
What's coming up?
Surveys
Soon, you will receive a survey. This will be where you will choose your system, get another chance for add-ons, provide your shipping information, and other such things. I will send another update before these go out, but they are coming, and that's where you'll choose your system!
Playtesting
We have released our official playtest schedule in the MythCraft Discord. (I encourage you to join us!) The first Harker's playtest is scheduled for April 12th. Please note these dates are subject to change, but we'll keep you updated!
If you are a backer, you are invited to playtest. The only requirement is that you join the discord.
While you wait - Check out Mythcraft the Podcast!
I'd like to invite you all to check out our official podcast! MythCraft the Pod is a MythCraft actual play pod! Enjoy an ensemble cast, intriguing story, and a whole lot of fun at https://linktr.ee/mythcraftthepodcast

The Eternal Night Begins
Thank you all so much from the very bottoms of our collective, cold, dead hearts for making Veil of the Eternal Night such a smashing success! We are just blown away by all the support, kind words, and encouragement we've gotten over the course of this campaign.
Thanks to you:
We funded in under 2 minutes.
We nearly 4x'd our first project!
We unlocked 20 stretch goals!
We once again received Kickstarter's "Project We Love!"
We're now in the top 1% of all Kickstarters EVER!
You all made this possible. Again... thank you so so much. Can't wait to do some grimdark, gothic, terrifying vampire & bat stuff with you all.
-Grant, Andi, Jake, and Nathan, and the rest of the QuasiReal Publishing team.
What Happens Next?
Kickstarter has started charging everyone, and there will undoubtedly be some declined cards. Kickstarter will keep trying for a few days, so take this opportunity to update your card info! Many times it's simply a fraud alert from your card issuer.
Shipping Info
In the coming weeks, you will receive a survey from Backerkit. This is where you'll give us your shipping information (Don't worry, this doesn't lock in for a while! Youll be able to update it this if it changes) add add-ons, and even late pledge! We'll send another update out when this is happening so you can keep an eye out for it.
Choosing your System & Verifying VIP status
Two most common questions: (1)When do I pick my system, and (2) what if I used a separate email on my VIP and Kickstarter? Same as above: You will select your system in the survey that you receive from Backerkit, and be given a chance to verify your VIP status.
Now the real work begins!
We would love to see you all join the discord. Even as a lurker, we have an incredible community and can keep you updated in a much more "live" manner here. As well as keep you updated on our other MythCraft playtests and content.
