The printer's proof is on the way! Once approved, we will close Backerkit so we can deliver on the core phase of the KS. Next is the Cypher PDF stretch goal and the 5e version of the game!
Come down to the Gamehole!
If you are in Madison, Wisconsin, this weekend I’ll be running MFP game at Gamehole Con! Check the website for times and availability. I’ll also be hanging out at the Monte Cook Game lounge where you can pick up another Cypher System book I contributed to, the Diamond Throne!
Come hang out and enjoy some Cypher goodness.
The finish line is in sight! And 5e musings.

Sometimes the last 10% of a project takes “90%”
This is the final phase we are in as we have been adding additional final art and swatting the stubborn typos we find as we wrap up the Cypher PDF. Admittedly some of the slowdown has also been the “distraction” of our day jobs as well.
Honestly, I have discovered this is a KS phase where it is too tempting to put off an update because it feels like the finish line is just around the corner. It is easy to convince yourself if you wait a day or two, the update will be, “The Final PDF is here!” instead of just a recap. It is a vicious cycle, indeed.
Again, thank you all for your support and patience. It is appreciated more than you know.
Locking down pre-orders.
As a heads up, we will be locking down pre-order billings on Backerkit in the next two days so we can deliver the Pre-order Cypher System PDFs and POD Discount links soon.
“It should be fun first, match the Mystery Flesh Pit second.”- Trevor Roberts
As we enter into our design for the 5e version of mystery flesh pit National Park RPG, those words are our guiding light.
As you know, Cypher system and 5e have different design philosophies. For example, we were able to use Cypher’s Flavor mechanic to allow PBSO- Manifestations to be part of any PCs creation regardless of their Type. On the other hand, 5e doesn’t inherently provide such a straightforward solution.
There is another trick to game design, though. One can mesh game mechanics and a game setting by tweaking the setting or a campaign framework as well as modifying the rules. Eberron is a classic example.
Keeping that in mind, the 5e version may very likely become a parallel dimension to the Cypher System Mystery Flesh Pit National Park RPG. Time will tell.
