Hi everyone!

I know we've been mentioning this a bunch, but, honestly we couldn't be more excited. Today, the Penumbra City kickstarter went live.

I want to remind everyone that all backers at the $5/mo level or higher already get a digital version of the game for free. But the hardover book is on sale at a discount during the Kickstarter campaign (which lasts all of June) and everyone who backs it today (June 1) gets an even larger discount.

Play a rat king and send swarms of rats into battle. Play an occultist and speak with the dead. Play a doggirl and hope your motorcycle doesn't explode. Play an ex-marine and make your enemies explode. Play a patchworker and heal your friends by flaying corpses. Play a lordling and see what kinds of messes privilege can get you out of. Play a fungalian and let mushrooms take you into a battle rage. Play a labor thug and show the god king what the working class is made of. Play a gunslinger and squat a crypt in the graveyard. Or help us reach our stretch goals and play even more.

Hey comrades, is this beginner friendly? I have only ever played dnd once and have never been like the manager of a ttrpg. I have hosted many murder mystery parties. Like do I have a shot at this? I'm going to listen to the play thru now, that will inform my decision too. CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 YOU DID IT !!!!

So... we've talked about this a bunch! It's more beginner friendly than say D&D in terms of rules, but like most TTRPGs, gameplay would go easier if at least one person at the table (ideally the gamemaster) has some experience to teach. That said, we're working on a separate zine, a gamemaster's guide, and either it or the core rulebook will have our best stab at a "so none of you have played a TTRPG before" instructions. I (margaret) think it's doable, probably.

I appreciate the response and look forward to the Game Master Zine.
