Hello everyone,
By now Mud should have arrived in everyone’s mailbox around the world. If you haven’t received your copy of Mud, please reach out to us. We can trace your order to see what’s what and make sure your rewards arrive safely.
We want to invite you to our next project! On October 20th we’ll be launching a Kickstarter for a new edition of our first ever roleplaying game, Questlandia. Questlandia is a one to two-session roleplaying game that tells the stories of strange fantasy kingdoms in a moment of crisis, and how the people in those kingdoms confront their changing world. It uses collaborative worldbuilding to make a setting that everyone is invested in, and has tools to support quiet or new roleplayers—as we were, when we first made the game! Over the years the game has told stories of fish people worshipping otter gods, tardigrades at war in a giant puddle, and a society throwing endless festivals which accidentally controlled the weather.
Questlandia has been out of print for awhile now, and we’re hoping to bring it back better than before. We’ve learned a lot over the years, and we’re excited to revitalize the game that started it all!
The pre-launch page for the campaign is here:

If the premise interests you, you can click the “Notify me on launch” button to receive a Kickstarter notification when the game goes live.
Thank you again for backing Mud! Hope to see you on the next project :)

Mud is on Itchio!

Hello everyone,
Itchio digital download keys have now been distributed for PDF copies of Mud. You should have received a code at the email address associated with your Kickstarter account. If you don’t see that email, check your spam and promotions folder, then feel free to drop us a message.
If you’ve already read Mud, we’d appreciate it enormously if you took a moment to give a star rating or review. Itchio is algorithm-driven, so each 5-star review carries a lot of weight in getting the zine in front of new people.
It’s as simple as hitting this button on the top-right of Mud’s itchio page!
Thank you again, truly and deeply, for your support of Mud. The zine took us longer to complete than we’d anticipated, but we put a lot of love into the story and the illustrations and we hope you enjoy the experience. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let us know!
Best,
Hannah and Evan
Digital codes coming soon

Hi everyone,
Enter the Orb booklets have shipped, nearly completing all shipping for the Kickstarter. The only folks still waiting on rewards are people who added on t-shirts. To that wonderful handful of people, we thank you for hanging tight! We’re working on getting those shirts printed and fulfilled.
While we wait on the final few shirts, we’ll be distributing digital copies of Mud to everyone via itch.io. This goes for You, an Astronaut and Enter the Orb as well, for folks who backed at those reward levels. Those will be up as soon as we create download-friendly versions.
We should have those codes distributed to you by email in the next two weeks. We’ll send another backer update when they’ve been delivered so you know to look for them.
To those who have already received your zines, we hope you've been enjoying them!
Be well, stay safe.

Mud shipping update: Enter the Orb and T-Shirt add-ons
over 2 years ago

Hi all,
We wanted to write an update to let you know that shipping for all single Mud and bundle orders is nearly complete! This includes packages with our other RPG add-ons. There are only two groups still waiting on shipping, and we apologize to you for those final delays! If you pre-ordered a copy of our ‘90s VHS zine Enter the Orb, or you ordered a t-shirt, we’re still working to prepare those rewards.
Orbs should be in our hands next week, and t-shirts in a few weeks. We’re working with a local shirt printer instead of doing these print-on-demand, and we hope that’s worth the wait.
U.S. folks who ordered a shirt: if we feel like the shirts are too delayed, we’ll ship your games first and will send the shirts along when they arrive. International folks who ordered a shirt: We’ll have to ship all of your rewards at the same time due to the cost of international shipping, and we really appreciate your patience. We’ll have these all out soon!
Let us know if you have any questions. And if you think your package should have gone out by now and you didn’t receive tracking information by email, drop us a message and let us know.
Be well, thank you so much for your support, and we hope you enjoy the experience of Mud.
Best,
Hannah and Evan
Mud shipping - halfway done!

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update to announce that we’ve reached the halfway point in Mud shipping. Half of all the total packages went out yesterday, which includes the majority of domestic single-Mud orders. Keep an eye on your mailbox! 👀
Bundle levels: Our printer experienced an issue with You, an Astronaut, which they’ve since resolved (it broke their machine). We expect Astronaut to be in our hands tomorrow. Bundle packages and the remaining international orders should be out this week or early next. If that changes, we’ll let you know!
We’re really excited for you to start receiving Muds. Please share photos with us on twitter or instagram at @turtleandbun, and let us know what you think!
Very best,
Hannah and Evan
