April Update!
4 months ago – Wed, Apr 29, 2026 at 09:42:04 PM

Survivors! 

Back again with an update for April. Things are looking good so far! No print dates just yet, but we are getting really close. 

For this month I wanted to share the full adventure that will be in the book, but due to some bad news and unforeseen circumstances at the beginning of the month, things have taken slightly longer than expected for this month. That said, we DO have some goods to show off below, and you'll be getting the full adventure within a couple of weeks when it's all ready to go.

The scenario in the core rulebook is called CHAINS OF THE PAST, and centers on a small town in the middle of nowhere called Ellisworth. Among others, one of the Killers presented is the chainsaw-wielding wraith on the front cover, and you'll get to delve into how she came to be the way she is.

Below are three spreads from the adventure detailing two different locations: the town's Saint Raphael's Church and the woods that surround Ellisworth. Both are still works in progress (though almost done here) and can potentially change slightly as the scenario is wrapped up.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE A PLAYER, BE AWARE THAT THE FOLLOWING PAGES MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

We are so excited to let you all walk the streets of Ellisworth and uncover the horrifying secrets woven through its fabric. Thank you as always for coming along with us on this crazy ride, and we absolutely can't wait to get this book in your hands. It's not much longer!

Promise me you'll stay inside? Keep your candles lit and await the dawn. I'm sure we'll all be fine.

March 2026 UPDATE
5 months ago – Sun, Mar 08, 2026 at 09:41:50 PM

Survivors! 

It's been quite a year already. I've been sick three times (thanks to my kid starting daycare, and I won't go into the grim details), which has impacted productivity, but here we are, back again and moving forward. Hence why there was no February update, but we'll make up for that shortly. 

This one won't be a long update, just something to touch base with everyone. The timeline is still a little loose, but the book is moving forward each and every day. Should have a better idea of how much longer we have in the next month or two. As usual, I appreciate each and every one of you for bearing with us on this journey... I promise it will be well worth it in the end. 

Below, we are sharing off the eight classes / archetypes, along with a few other pages. In addition, we have some new art to share with you that will be shown off in their respective spreads soon. All of this is still work in progress and subject to change - some text and mechanics may get polished up, and some of the art might have some adjustments, but a lot of this is close to how it will appear in the book!

Expect another update in the next two or so weeks with more pages, and there will be more information about timeline as soon as we have it. \

🎈New Art! 🎈

New art from Tommy Sunzenauer!

New art from John Tedrick!

Until next time... stay safe and keep rolling dice! We'll be back in a few weeks with some more stuff to look at as we move closer to print date.

January 2026 Status Update
7 months ago – Mon, Feb 02, 2026 at 12:10:32 PM

Survivors! 

A few of you have asked where the January update is, and I'm reporting in to say it's in the works right now. Been working tirelessly to bring you all something really amazing and tie this project up in the best way. Thank you so much for your patience! 

What was supposed to be a fun as well as productive holiday became weeks of the whole family being sick (with an 18 month old, nonetheless). Midway through January we also lost a close family member. Still pushing forward with this update, but it's going to be a little late. Watch this space in the weeks to come, we have another portion of the book to show off very soon, ahead of pushing all of this through for production!

I can't wait to get all of this in your hands so you can bring it to your tables. RUN OR HIDE, IT IS YOUR CHOICE. BUT YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE CHAINSAW. 💀

All that aside, stay safe out there. Stand up for what you believe in. Stay human. We will all be rolling dice very soon!

Love you all. Thank you for your patience. This is the best community in TTRPGs, I have no doubt. 🤘🏼 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for being here for this journey.
