Hello my LEGION!
Thank you so much for helping make Vast Grimm Escaping Stasis a success!
Over the next two months, I will be finalizing all of the items for the campaign to get them ready for production. I am going to keep late pledges open here on Kickstarter for a little while to see if we can hit that $54k stretch goal.
Then sometime in December, I will open the pledge manager on Backerkit. This will allow me to gauge the quantities I need to print for all of the items. I don't plan to charge for any add-ons from the Pledge Manager until January, and I'll be sure to give everyone a 2-week heads-up before I do.
Along the way, I will be posting status updates here and on my Patreon (there is a free tier for many of the updates).
If you want to get in touch with me directly, the place I am most active is The Grimm Place discord.
A Couple of Places I Will Be
Next weekend I will be at Mythic Con in Charlotte, NC. 2 weeks after that, I will be at PAX Unplugged in Philly.
If you are going to be at either of those events, please comment below! I'd love to see some of you out there.
Projects & People We Love
With the continued updates, I want to make sure and share some other projects that are currently live.
Gunz 'n' Ammo, Supplement & Adventure is by Malicat, a fan favorite Vast Grimm N.O. (GM) at many conventions. It also has additional art by Gaffy. Get ready to load up the Legionnaires with expanded weapons, gear, and starship upgrades. The zine includes the adventure Deal with the Devil, which is certain to be filled with the lethality Malicat is known for :) Back it here.
If you play Pirate Borg, you should check out this double feature stacked with 2 adventures. Go back it now to help him reach his funding goal.
-- Again, thank you so much for being a part of this and making it successful! Brian
New Stretch Goal – The Count Down is On!

– Mon, Oct 27, 2025 at 07:22:04 AM
Hello trusty backers!
The campaign will be coming to a close in about 80 hours, and we are inching closer to unlocking some new stretch goals! I have added a Stretch Goal Guide image to the top of the page to better understand what comes with each pledge level.
As you can see above, I have added the Printed Adventure Generator Zine! Should we hit $48k, this will be included with the Legionnaire and All-In pledge level for free. It will also become available as an add-on in the pledge manager.
We are awfully close to unlocking the Zac Goins adventure generator, which will bump it from 5 guest writers to 6!
Don't forget, we also have the Double Stretch Goal coming up when we hit $50k.
Now's the time to help spread the infection! Let your friends know the clock is ticking to back the campaign. With your help, we will crush these next few stretch goals.
Thursday Interview
I will be live on Dungeons and Dyslexia this Thursday at 3 pm (eastern). Be sure to tune in and jump into the chat with any last-minute questions you have.
Ok, that's it for this transmission. Keep an eye on the Comments on the main campaign page and the Discord where I will post little bits of news between official updates!
Thank you! Brian
3rd Party Contest and Digital Generator

$50k Double Stretch Goal Announcement
Hello trusty backers! I know we are still a ways off from the $50k mark, but I wanted to share what I have in the works!
Adventure Generator Digital Randomizer
The amazing generator builder CodeLiches, who built the Vast Grimm character generator, is back to combine all of the stretch goal Adventure Generators into one massive page of clickable coded goodness. Now you’ll be able to create random adventures with the click of a button!
Vast Grimm Horde 3rd Party Expansion – Alien Invasion
The Vast Grimm 3rd-Party license has been in existence from the very start. But today, with this project, I would like to do something different. I want to take some of the 3rd-Party creations under my wing and publish them so that they can be sold anywhere Vast Grimm is sold.
In the past, for the Volatile ‘Verse anthology, there were guest writers, and I did the art. For this, I want to be hands-off, except for selection. I (with the help of some industry friends) will select 3 pitches to move forward with.
Here’s what they’ll get: 🚀 $500 upon completion and delivery of final files. 🚀 % royalty of all sales of the zine for the next 15 years. If there are 3 adventures, they will recieve 16.66%. (Creature Curation retains 50%, the remaining will be split equally among the contributors) 🚀 Retain ownership. Creature Curation will have exclusive rights to it for 3 years, but you still own everything. 🚀 Digital access to all Vast Grimm content to date.
The theme of this should revolve around sentient alien life forms. It’s time to get even weirder with Vast Grimm. I have introduced a few alien species in the past, and have a couple more in the Threat Registry, but I want to see what ideas other creators have.
As I mentioned previously, one of the best things about the tabletop industry is the friends we make playing games together! Here is another project I believe in.
The latest from my friends John and Sally at Ham & Egg. This adventure for Sickest Witch looks totally rad. Check it out in more detail here.
Ok, that's it for this transmission. Keep an eye on the Comments on the main campaign page and the Discord where I will post little bits of news between official updates!
Thank you! Brian

Hello trusty backers!
We are in the middle of the campaign, where things tend to slow down. I am still hard at work on things and continuing to promote the project.
If you are here for the Battle Binderz with the zines hole-punched. Check out this video I made today for Sqwürmish test prints:

Hello trusty backers!
We are now officially one week into the campaign, and you are making this an incredible campaign! We are already over 350% funded!!!
I have a lot to cover, so here's the TL;DR: 🚀 Unlocked Stretch Goals 🚀 Glimpse Into the Future 🚀 Interviews, interviews, interviews 🚀 Projects We Love 🚀 All the Places
Because of you, 5 stretch goals have already been unlocked, and we are getting closer to the 6th! Be sure to share the project with friends so that we can keep unlocking more awesomeness!
SO MANY GENERATORS!!!
Since the last update, Erica Lowe-Tarpley has been added as a guest writer. You may know her from Ragnaborg, which has a Kickstarter that just launched today!
Bobby Ellis, who is the regular GM for some of my good friends, I met a few years ago at conventions. After discussing a project he's working on with him, I knew I wanted his creativity to be a part of these generators.
Next up, we have Tiger Wizard, whom I have known longer than anyone else in this industry. We always want to make games with friends! His game, Dungeon Cats, was nominated for an Ennie this year!
Last up in the revealed stretch goals is the one-and-only Zac Goins. He's had his hands in so many projects of his own and has helped advise on so many other projects, it's too many to list out in this update. I am thrilled to have him join this quest.
To give you an idea of what the Adventure Generators will look like, here is a quick mock-up.
There is a lot more coming, so stay tuned.
Interviews, Interviews, Interviews
I am making the rounds, chatting with all sorts of amazing folks. Keep an eye on the Campaign Page in the Media section. I will be posting links there as they are live. Coming up, I'm on Vintage RPG, Games with Dave, and Me and Steve Talk RPGs.
Projects & People We Love
As I mentioned in the last update, one of the best things about the tabletop industry is the friends we make playing games together! Here are some projects I believe in.
Dan, the creator of Rusborn Bastards and Dead Flesh, has been a long-time supporter of Vast Grimm. It is exciting to see his creativity flourish with his drowned world setting. It looks and reads great! Hurry, this one is almost over.
Erica has been running her zine version of Raganborg at conventions for a few years now. I am very excited to see it expanded into a full edition, and making it compatible with Pirate Borg just makes it even more of a must-have. This just launched today, oh and I created the video for it. Check it out.
The team behind Fold-A-Freak is back with 5,184 more threats to add to your Mörk Borg compatible games! This is such a fun and innovative way to generate creatures. Check it out, I think you could easily adapt them to your Vast Grimm games.
