My sincerest thank you to all the backers so far! While I was confident in funding this project I didn't dream it would be so sudden.  Because of you all Apocrypha will be spreading forth from those dark woods into each of your homes!


I've received so many kinds words in regards to this campaign and Episode 1 of the  "Tales From Apocrypha" podcast, and it truly helps add fuel to the fire of this project.


Special shout-out to my wonderful partner and Co-Producer / Co-Writer Mary Englehart, without her extreme talent and support none of this would be happening! (and those enjoyers of the show so far have her to thank for the amazing stories within)


Throughout this campaign I'll be showing off a little more about Apocrypha, starting with some closer looks at what you'll be receiving. 


First up, is one of the minis that started this whole project -  The Igum with Goop Slug!

Found in both the "All In" pledge, and the Intro to Apocrypha" box, the Igums are some of the oldest Apocryphan locals.  Tribes make their homes in the dark overgrowth and lurking treetops of "The Eyes" - a place of perpetual darkness in the northernmost wilds of the Apocrypha forest.  This one carries the poisonous Goop Slug under his arm. Igums often coat their weapons in harvested toxins, relying on stealth and cunning to outmaneuver their enemies.

No-one has ever seen an Igum without their mask.  Each mask is an ancestral hand me down.  A sacred tradition passed from one generation to the next.

A fancy feast - curtesy of the Ossien Manchef!

Next on the close-ups list is a brute!  -  The Ossien Manchef!

Found in both the "All In" pledge, and the Intro to Apocrypha" box, the Ossiens are ever at odds with the neighboring Igums.

These bone-clad cultists live and worship in the muddied forest of "The Spines" - a place of laden with fear and sacrifice thanks to the tyrannical hunger of their tri-mouthed god. 

The Manchef holds a special ceremonial role in Ossien society,  blessed as the preparer of feasts for the ever hungry Ossien. A fickle god, the loss of his arms during a particularly nasty feeding wasn't enough for this particular Manchef to step down from his honors.
