Hey Punks!
First off, we sincerely apologize for the lack of updates over the past two months. We strive to be as professional as possible, which includes keeping our backers consistently informed and transparent about production updates. With that said, we are back on track and will provide monthly (or more frequent) updates as soon as new information becomes available.
Where is Production at Now?
From our June update, we informed y'all that printing would be underway soon. Between then and now we have had to pivot from the printer we planned to use due to unexpected production pricing issues. We have since settled on a printer, finalized quotes, and are now locked in with the printer and next in line for production!
We are excited about this process and want to share it with y'all. We hope to have physical proofs soon to share in the next updates as soon as they land in our eager goblin claws!
Punks at Dragon Con!
Check out Steve Alberston at Dragon Con, where he's grinding Punks into Industrial-Goth monstrosities through his adventure, Thrill Kill Ministry, available in Mystic Punks: Weird Wandering Vol. 1!
How many survived, and how many became living credenzas for the demented cyber-nightmares that are the Neubau?
Hey, Tiger Wizard's there, too. Nice!
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this process. We are continuously humbled by all the awesome people we meet IRL and cyberland that tell us how much they love playing Mystic Punks!
We'll see ya soon!

Hey Punks!
This month's update is brief and, hopefully, will be resolved soon! We are awaiting quotes from various printers. As soon as those are gathered and decided on, we will reach out asap to y'all with that info!
In the meantime, please check out the pic of Dark Guide Jay's panel Gotta Catch them All - Pokémon at Momocon. The conversation eventually led to how to serve and eat yer favorite critters. True to their punk chef nature, Jay explained in great detail how to serve Jigglypuff as a dessert (lol). I'm all about a braised Psyduck à l'orange with mashed Evee fritters! Let us know in the comments what Pokémon you'd crave to munch on!
Take care!

Yo Punks!
Regarding the general state of things given recent world economic news, we want this update to be as transparent as possible.
As many of you are well aware there has been a seismic shift in international trade regarding tariffs and general price increases for goods.
If you have not seen our newsletter already let us reiterate that Exalted Funeral is committed to bringing you the best in independent gaming. That includes all of our past commitments and future endeavors. Here is the note we sent out:
Art in it's many forms has endured throughout time and has been a voice for those that suffer. Games are indeed a form of art and Exalted Funeral has and will continue to be a conduit for those games and individuals no matter how the landscape appears and changes.
EF has been committed to bringing the best in underground and original games to market. We are throughly pissed off with the ever-changing tariff situation and volatility in our economy but want our fans, family, and friends to know we are working towards bringing home our current obligations and finding solutions for future endeavors so we can continue to bring to the table the best in gaming. The outlook isn’t rosy and the challenges are very real, but who said this was easy? Its not easy for anyone but our resolve is gonna stay.
In light of all this please use your voice to contact your local, state, and national leaders and let them know how you feel.
- Matt, Owner of Exalted Funeral
We as a team have been exploring solutions to these issues and want to let everyone know that the work is being done to keep the games coming. While some items are currently excluded from tariffs, other items we publish as a company and the partners we are working with are not. Our internal pipeline has been disrupted due to this and it is causing our deliverables and timelines to be shifted as well. We are sincerely sorry for the delays.
The Mystic Punks Core Rule book and Weird Wandering adventure book files are at our international printer and are ready to be printed. However, we are potentially exploring other print options and locations to make sure that we are making the best choice to keep the titles affordable. That being said, we await more definitive information regarding how manufacturing and exporting these rad products would affect cost and the timeline for production and shipping. Regardless of the outcome, there will not be any additional cost to backers for these items.
A big thank you to all our fans for the patience and understanding as we continue to grind through! We will update all backers as soon as possible with any new information!
Be good to one another out there!
If you're in the US please reach out to your representatives!
