What a Launch! How About Some Stretch Goals?
over 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 03:45:19 PM

Hello, backers—

What fast-paced day it’s been! We funded very shortly after launch this morning, and have been busy with managing the frenetic early hours of the campaign all afternoon. Now that things are a little less hectic, it’s time to start talking about stretch goals!

But First a Reminder!

Every crowdfunding campaign lives or dies by the enthusiasm its backers bring to it. If you’re excited about Tangled in the Web, sharing that excitement is the best way—the only way—to help us reach stretch goals. We have some shortcuts you can use to help spread the word below.

Stretch Goal: Face Even More Fears

We’re very excited to be making the three new books that are at the heart of this campaign. What’s even better than making them? Making them better!

Monte, Jonathan, our design team, and all of the TMA fans here at MCG have loads of ideas for expanding and upgrading these books. Let’s start with Face Your Fears. This title is aimed at the GM, with new artefacts, monsters, NPCs, cults, items, organizations, and other resources and inspiration for building terrifying adventures. (And did we mention that The Magnus Archives creator Jonathan Sims is personally detailing the Magnus Institute for this book?)
We’d like to make this book even bigger. So our first stretch goal will expand it by up to 16 pages with even more of this fascinating GM content and lore. Remember: we grow this campaign by reaching more gamers and TMA fans—so we’ll unlock this goal when we get to 1600 backers.

BONUS REWARD!


But wait, there’s more! In addition to the expansion to Face Your Fears, if we unlock this goal every backer will get this vinyl sticker—a creepy bit of décor for your laptop, cassette recorder, water bottle, dog, car—or wherever you’d like to add a touch of The Magnus Archives. This sticker will be added to everyone’s rewards automagically.

And it gets better. We’re going to add a new sticker every time we unlock a stretch goal. In addition to the goals themselves, your set of The Magnus Archives vinyl stickers will keep growing as we unlock each new stretch goal!

Let’s Do It!

An expansion to Face Your Fears. A vinyl sticker as a free bonus for unlocking that goal. Here’s how you can help get us there—and to the many goals we hope to unlock beyond this one:


This is going to be an exciting campaign. Thanks for your support, and for helping to spread the word!

FUNDED! The Web Is Weaving!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 09:33:39 AM

Hello, backers—

That sure didn’t take long! Tangled in the Web is funded, and we’re excited that these books are now officially in the pipeline. We’re looking forward to taking your games into ever more frightening places—and giving your characters the tools to beat back that darkness!

This, of course, is just the beginning. We can’t wait to further grow, expand, and improve your rewards—to bring you more statements and adventures, more lore, more creatures, characters, cyphers, artifacts, locales—and maybe even entirely new items—through stretch goals.

Right now we’re up to our elbows in managing the early hours of this campaign. Things will cool down over the course of the day, and we’ll start talking about those goals. In the meantime, thank you so much for an incredible launch!
