Anniversary!

Hey everyone! 

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since the Kickstarter for WYRD Dungeon. A lot has happened since then and now that I’d like to talk about.

The biggest change is that we’re no longer called Happy Jak Games. That’s right! You see, there is another preestablished organization that goes by a very similar name and we both had been getting people confused. So since the names were just similar enough and we both are in the same industry but they were here first, it felt best that I make the change.

So, who are we now?

It took some time, some research, and discovering who we are and the kinds of games we love to find the perfect name for us. If you’ve ever been camping, you may have played a little improv story telling game around the camp fire. Where each person ends their contribution with “When Suddenly…!” and passes the story to the next person.

This is the feeling behind who we are. Collaborative story telling in a warm, safe, but often times spooky environment. 

So what’s next then? Well, the biggest change is that this Kickstarter page will, effectively, become inert. After launching a project KS prevents you from changing your display name. But since that doesn’t work for us our only option is to create a new account under the updated brand.

Of course we don’t want to lose contact with everyone who backed and has enjoyed WYRD Dungeon! We’ve got more games in the works and want to be able to share when those things drop.

To help facilitate that transfer expect first, an email from When Suddenly Games asking if you’d like to be added to our external email list. Please feel free to opt out! After that email we’ll make sure you’d a part of our future announcements and updates.

Thank you again to everyone who backed WYRD Dungeon and believed in our little “wyrd” idea. You’re all fantastic and I can’t wait to show you what’s next…

We’ll see you by the campfire.

ALL DONE!

And that's that! All the packages are out, everyone should have a tracking confirmation, and they're on their way. If you have any issues with receiving your order or something isn't right, please message us and we'll get back to you ASAP. 

Beyond that, we hope you have an amazing time playing WYRD Dungeon. We'd like to see people with their books so if you use social media post a pic with the hashtag #wyrddungeon so we can see them! If you come up with some wild combinations of factions and level names we'd love to hear about those, too.

I can't believe it's already over. Than you again to everyone who backed the project. I hope it brings you hours of enjoyment.

If you backed at the PDF level and would later like a physical copy, they'll be for sale on  Exalted Funeral and  Pit of Infinite Shadow. 

You're all awesome and I can't wait to share with you what we have next.

-- Jeffrey N Baker, Happy Jak Games

We're so excited to finally have this in our hands. It looks spectacular with the Spot UV on the front cover, the binding is perfection, and the interior print is beautiful. It's exactly how I'd hoped it would look.

SO WHAT'S NEXT?

Next up is fulfillment! The rest of this week I'll begin sorting the books and stickers into who gets what. After that is getting all the addresses attached to the right names and then shipping! This will be a new thing for me so I hope you'll have a little more patience as I sort out the best way to do that.

ONE MORE THING...

I've been sitting on this for a bit because I wanted to announce it when we got the book in. We're pumped to offer an online resource that helps you generate a dungeon with an online randomizer! 

All of the tables in the book have been put into this site for ease of access. With a single click you can get the level name, it's trappings, traps, and some treasure. There is also a faction generator! Put in the number of players you have and it'll spit back each faction and their relationship to one another.

We have plans to add in a room size generator so you can even handle that!

This should help speed up play and allow for folks asking if it's possible for solo play. If you have any feature requests please email [email protected] and we'll look into getting that done for you!

Just a few more weeks, folks and this book will be in your hands. We look forward to hearing your WYRD stories.

It's happening!
