Calling all Los Angeles area GMs! Ravendesk at Orccon '18!
about 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 12:17:51 PM

Calling all Los Angeles area GMs!

Hello again Vurt backers and watchers! Ravendesk Games is going to be running a booth at Orccon in Los Angeles February 16-19! We will be showing and selling Vurt the RPG and our other products (Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla!), as well as running a demo table and tabletop events. If you live in the Los Angeles area, or if you plan on visiting to attend the convention, we would be delighted to see you!   

If you are a GM who would like to run few sessions of Vurt, we would be happy to pay for your pass to the convention. Furthermore, we'll make sure you take home a copy of each book we've got for sale! Our goal is to get Vurt in front of as many gamers as possible and running game tables is the best way to rope people in and build buzz in the community. The more tables we can run, the better!  

If I've piqued your interest, send me an email at [email protected] and let's discuss the specifics!  

In other news, we're working on the next thing for Vurt and I'm really excited to clue you all in on the project. But that's all for now! Roll on, friends!

Launch day!

Greetings featherheads! 

Vurt: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game has officially launched for the general public! The corebook and player's guide can be purchased on our web store and digital copies are also available on drivethrurpg.com. In addition to online availability, game stores who ordered from Studio 2 Publishing's October catalog should have the books on their shelves today, so if you don't see them at your FLGS let them know that you would like them to carry Vurt! Game shops decide what to carry based on what their customers ask for, so let them know!

Speaking of game stores, I'd like to give a special thank you to North Coast Roleplaying in Eureka, California who backed the project as a brick and mortar retailer and are the first store to be showing off Vurt to the public. Thanks again Barry!  

Ravendesk Games is a very small company. We're basically just two people running the daily business of development, publishing and marketing, so we would appreciate any help we can get from you in spreading word about Vurt! Make a post on social media to let people know that you have a copy, or that you've just ordered one so we can start building the feeding frenzy and ensure lots of new content in the future!

Also we would love to hear how you're liking the book and share any adventure recaps you have written!

Finally, as of this post we will dispense with every-Monday updates, and start making posts whenever we have news, or something new to share. Don't fret though, you can expect plenty of progress and updates from us going forward! We will continue to communicate through kickstarter so feel free to send us messages or, as always, email me directly at [email protected] if you have any questions or if you just want to give us feedback on the game. We'd love to hear from you!

Seeing our books headed off to their ultimate destiny on bookshelves and tables everywhere makes us feel tremendously proud. Every bit of this accomplishment has been made possible by you. Thank you so much.

Vurt releases October 16th!
over 6 years ago – Mon, Oct 02, 2017 at 10:57:41 PM

Hello again, Featherheads!

This past week we updated the GM Screen inserts PDF to fix a few issues, so if you are still sporting the first version of your screen, or if you haven't gotten yours yet, head over to the Digital Downloads page of your Backerkit account to get the updated file. 

At this point almost everyone has received their books, or at least gotten a shipping notification. If you're still waiting, head to your Backerkit and see if the tracking info is there. Alternatively, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll get it sorted out!

Finally, our big announcement for this week is the official, public release of Vurt! FLGS and bookstores that ordered Vurt from Studio 2 Publishing's October calendar should have their product on shelves by October 16th! That's only two weeks away so if you'd like to have more Vurt gamers feathered up at your local nerd cave, then let them know to order a few copies!

Every mention of Vurt the RPG is of critical importance at this stage, so if you're happy with the game, help us spread the news that Vurt is releasing and more content is in the works! More on that in future updates!

Until next week!

Update 9/25
over 6 years ago – Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 01:14:51 AM

Greetings Backers!

A short update this week to let you know that the GM screens are finished and are being added to your Backerkit digital rewards page this evening! We selected a bunch of our favorite illustrations to decorate the fronts of your GM screens which we think will make a fantastic backdrop for your RPG sessions, as well as a very useful assortment of tables and rule reminders. 

Vurt is headed to official release this coming month in Studio 2 Publishing's October calendar, so now is the time to let your friends know to nag their FLGS to order a few copies!

I know there are still a handful of shipments that are headed out of Studio 2's warehouse this week, so if you're still waiting, hold fast!

So, keep your eyes open for an email from Backerkit with a link to your GM screens! 

Until next week!
