Children of the Mountain God (for D&D 5E and Pathfinder)

Not that I've been checking in multiple times throughout the day or anything, but I've been wondering at the fact that more backers haven't been taking advantage of the opportunity to add on items from our catalogue to their pledge. Based on past history, at least some of you should have taken advantage of the add-ons by now. But so far, nobody.

And then, just this morning, I realized that I hadn't set up any add-ons for this campaign! Well, that explains it. I spent some time today adding them in, and we should be squared away now. If you would have liked to add items from our catalogue to your pledge, you should be able to do so now. I'm guessing that there are at least a few of you among the 40 who have been laid down your markers so far, and if I hadn't botched this we might well have hit our funding goal by now.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, and now you should be able to add stuff to your pledge before the end of the campaign.

It's time for the traditional First Day update, and it looks like this campaign is off to a good start. As I write this, we're 60% funded with 30 backers, and we still have 3 weeks to make up the rest of the ground! Not bad at all, and welcome to old friends and new friends alike!

This means, thankfully, that I can back off of advertising and marketing a bit and get back to actually writing Children of the Mountain God/Path to Tifala. That's always a good feeling. To those of you who have already put down your marker: I thank you. To everyone else: Come on in! The party is just getting started, and everyone here is friendly.

If you haven't had a look at my fellow members of the Tabletop Tavern cross-promotion, I invite you to head over there. 13 campaigns including ours are participating, and if you back 3 or more, you'll get a free bonus item from each creator you support!

Otherwise, I'll post updates when something significant happens, and you can also get more in-depth discussions of what's up with Ramen Sandwich Press at my Substack blog.

Less than a week to go before Children of the Mountain God launches as part of Pocketopia 2026, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be part of the Tabletop Tavern cross-promotion! If you back 3 or more of the campaigns in our group, you'll get a bonus item from the creators that you back. In our case, we'll give you a free PDF copy of Tome of Utility Drawer, a collection of new items and such collected from the first 8 Places by the Way/Found by the Way modules.

Follow our campaign to get notified when Pocketopia 2026 begins, and get your bonus for supporting the TTRPG creators participating in this event!

There's news about a project that just ended and another that is soon to come, so this is really a dual-purpose update.

First: The Book of Plagues is making its way through layout and we expect to have it ready for press in early May. To that end, I'm going to close the pledge manager this Wednesday. So there's only a couple of days left if you want to get some add-on items from our back catalogue at a discount, or if you know anyone who hasn't reserved a copy of The Book of Plagues at a discount!

Second: Pocketopia 2026 begins in 10 days, and we're pleased to announce that we will be a part of it! We're looking for support for our next project: Children of the Mountain God, the 15th entry in our Places by the Way (for D&D 5E) and Found by the Way (for Pathfinder 1E and 2E). You can find the preview page here. We could always use more pre-launch followers! It does not commit you to backing it, and makes our makes our projects easier to find in the eyes of the search algorithm, and it just makes us look better in general.

Thanks again for your support!
