If you've been on the fence about backing the Ptolus Kickstarter, FYI we ran some financial numbers and decided to add stretch goals to more backer levels. Charles explains the details in this update: Update 6: Grip of the Ebon Hand Unlocked! And Exciting Backer Level News! · Ptolus: Monte...

The 27 items are listed as one of the FAQ answers, if you want to check vs what you have. :)

(Hi, I'm a designer at MCG, and a player in the original Ptolus campaign, and I'll be one of the people doing the conversion from 3e to 5e and Cypher System.) The main differences out of the gate: • Conversion from 3e to 5e, which is no small feat. Many things have changed in the game system...

Stoopid typos! :D

Please clarify what you mean by The Last Witch Hunter being his "movie debut." Vin Diesel has been a bunch of movies predating The Last Witch Hunter, which was released in 2015. Even back when I was working on 3E books at Wizards of the Coast in 2001, there were news stories about him being a...

Edit: Never mind, I caught up to this point and Umbran had already said what I wanted to say. :)

"Anyone is allowed to leave an uncomfortable situation at any time. Each person’s feelings of comfort and safety are more important than participating in the game. If a problematic situation comes up and someone doesn’t feel like continuing the game, it’s all right if they step out. It doesn’t...

FYI, Shanna has a degree in psychology, and part of her training involved grief and trauma support.

Considering that all of my portions of the PDF (and I assume Shanna's, too) were written from scratch based on my own experiences and understanding of people dealing with consent issues, no, we didn't do what you're suggesting. Likewise, no. Shanna and I are professional writers, please give...

For the record, Dragon Dice was a very successful game. It sold 500,000 units, which is what the sales team anticipated. Unfortunately, the top level of the company insisted on making 1,000,000 units because they'd get a price break from the manufacturer if they made that many units. So half the...

That's fair, and I get that you don't like it that way. There are upsides and downsides to doing it our way and to doing it the way you prefer, and we've found that doing it our way works best for us. All backers push the needle forward, regardless of what backer level they pledge at. Just a...

That's how we do our Kickstarters: there's an "all the X" backer level that adds value over the course of the campaign, and at some point (based on total pledges, which includes all the people pledged at a low level and all the people at a high level) it becomes obvious how much of a good deal...

Giving away PDFs reduces the perceived value of PDFs. Here's an example: A 144-page hardcover like Slaves of the Machine God is $40, it's PDF is $15. The lowest pledge level on the AotA campaign is $20 (for just the PDF of AotA). The next one is $50 (for the print + PDF of AotA). The next is $60...

Hi, Sean from MCG again. :) As the others above me said, you get what the backer level says you get. If a stretch goal means we make a new book (and PDF), and your backer level says "all the books in print" or "all the books in PDF," that's part of your backer rewards. If you're just at the...

Based on what's unlocked right now, you'd want to back at the $50 EXPLORER level, which gives you the book in print and includes the (~$18) PDF for free, add Beasts in print as an add-on for $45, then pick up the PDF from the MCG Shop (probably $18 based on other current items on the MCG Shop)...

The Australian shipping center arrangement is very, very new, and I think we're in the process of updating shipping information for the MCG Shop… but as the two people at MCG who'd be in charge of that are away at the GAMA trade show this week (and were getting ready for the show last week), it...

Hello! I work for MCG. Lemme answer your question. The items in our Kickstarters, unless they are marked as "Kickstarter exclusives," almost always end up at our online store and at brick & mortar game stores. But the Kickstarter usually gets you some goodies you won't get elsewhere. Frex, the...

I'm investigating.

The first set of the playtest materials for Invisible Sun were sent out. Any person who should have received playtest materials by now, but hasn't, should contact MCG directly using this webform: http://www.montecookgames.com/contact-us/ Odds are, the person didn't reply to the NDA email, or...

Thanks! And thanks to everyone who's said nice things! (Sorry to jump in on a negative post, but it really bothers me when people dredge up old news and are wrong about it to boot.)
