Nightlancer is shipping - FINALISE ADDRESSES

Hello Nightlancers!
All copies of Nightlancer are now being shipped around the world to fulfilment warehouses. When they arrive at the warehouses they will at long last be sent on their way to each of you. I'm estimating that most of you will have the game by the end of August.
This means it's time to finaliseyour address! Please make sure you have the correct address in BackerKit for your rewards, especially if you've recently moved. You can do this by logging in to your account here:
When the games have reached the warehouses (in the next few weeks) I will issue a final notice through BackerKit - this will give you 48 hours to update your address before all details are locked and the rewards start being sent out. It will be impossible to change address details after this notice period.
Wasters RPG
Wasters is an Old School Revival-style cyberpunk RPG for quick and brutal cyberpunk survival. It's setting-agnostic so you can easily adapt it to your favourite cyberpunk setting (like Nightlancer?), and comes with an OSR-styled campaign guide for high-stakes looting of the dystopian wastes.

Hello Nightlancers
Nightlancer printed
Nightlancer has now been printed and is being prepared for shipping.
I estimate that it will be received by fulfilment partners by early July and with you or on their way to you by August.
UK Games Expo help needed
The UK Games Expo is at long last returning to Birmingham this year and I will be in attendance. If everything goes smoothly I will have Nightlancer with me.
If you're interested in attending UKGE and helping to demo the final production copy of Nightlancer, please get in touch. Full entry to the show will be provided and I'm glad to help with reasonable costs. To let me know get in touch on [email protected]
Wasters RPG
I will also have some sample prototype copies of my next game, the Wasters RPG which is a light old-school cyberpunk rules set for fast and deadly cyberpunk roleplaying. It's setting-agnostic to be easily adapted to your preferred cyberpunk game world, with easy to learn and play rules (even in cyberspace).
Development is going well and I've started commissioning some artwork to go with the game. I'm aiming for a first quarter 2022 release at the moment.
I run the Wasters RPG every week on alternating Fridays and Sundays to allow more players to take part. There is room for additional players if you would like to try it out.
The most recent article added to the Nightlancer wiki features the territorial Bànrighinn street gang, known for their glowing tattoo implants and street races.
I'll update again when the rest of the components are confirmed and production is under way.
Thank you,

Nightlancer has been ordered!

Hello Nightlancers!
Big news
The artwork is completed, the files have been approved by the printer and I have now placed the order!
It's happening
This is all a huge deal for me, as a first time publisher! All the art and testing is done, the game is done and being produced I will not make any more changes to it! This is something a lot of designers like myself struggle with - saying it's all done for the first time, and setting the wheels in motion from going from the theoretical product to the production line!
I will get the sample in the next few weeks and you'll get your first view of the real thing!
There are still a million more things to do ahead, many of which will also be new to me as I go. I wish I'd been able to get this out on schedule, but I can just try to learn from the experience. Hopefully a year like 2020 wont happen again any time soon, and I've learned some important lessons from this experience.
Nightlancer Patreon
I continue to work on expanding the Nightlancer world, alongside running the Nightlancer RPG every other week to test out ideas before for the rules and the world. The Nightlancer world is freeto access via the wiki, however I hope some of you would be willing to help me spend more time expanding the world behind Nightlancer and become a patron.
For the price of one pot miniature paint a month Patrons get to vote on the articles that come next, allowing them to see the world expand in areas they're most interested in. They also get to preview the development of the article and see some of the thoughts and ideas behind the process.
Old-school cyberpunk
As well as the Nightlancer RPG I run the Wasters RPG every Sunday at 16:00 GMT. There is room for some extra players in this grimy, lethal old-school cyberpunk game based on OSE, the adapted B/X rules set by Necrotic Gnome. It's fast-paced, brutal survival in the cyberpunk ruins of society.
You can find out more and join the game on Discord.
Thanks again to you all or supporting me.

Nightlancer artwork complete, rulebook PDF available!

Hello Nightlancers!
The artwork for Nightlancer is now complete, in the next week I'll be getting the final high-resolution files ready for the printer and start production. When I have the proof copy from the printer I'll update you all with the unboxing!
Nightlancer rule book
I'm now ready to send out the rulebook PDF and you should all receive it soon from BackerKit.
Nightlancer RPG
The Nightlancer RPG campaign is ongoing and there is room for 1 or 2 additional players if you would like to join. The crew most recently survived a tense encounter with the Harmony shockpack, barely avoiding a pitched battle in the street (though not without the loss of their getaway driver).
The Nightlancer RPG runs every other Friday at 19:30 GMT with the next game on the 22nd January. You can join the game here:
I have also started running a second RPG set in a cyberpunk adaptation of the OSE rule set. OSE (Old School Essentials) is a classic fantasy rules set by Necrotic Gnome.
My Wasters RPG adapts the fantasy rules to a generic cyberpunk setting. Taking the spiritual background of a fantasy game, the characters are Wasters going out into the abandoned wastes of the dystopian world and searching for lost and abandoned tech and valuables. True to OSE, Wasters is an extremely lethal game with a total of 12 PCs and retainers already taken out by the gangs, bots and hazards of the wasteland.
