Modest Medusa Pre-Order Store!

This is the Pre-Order store for Modest Medusa Season 5! If you missed last year's Modest Medusa Kickstarter everything is available for pre-order here! I expect to ship in early September!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Yeld: 2nd Edition Kickstarter ending soon!
10 months ago – Wed, Feb 07, 2024 at 10:25:39 PM

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that the Kickstarter for the new edition of The Magical Land of Yeld is ending this Saturday. The project is funded and we've unlocked a bunch of stretch goals. Including some cool free stuff! So if you want to get our new book, now is the time! 

Yeld:2nd Edition is backwards compatible with all of our previous releases, so all of your Yeld expansions are still fully usable. The new edition refines Yeld's ruleset and introduces new Jobs, new mechanics and loads of new options. Its also a hardcover book, which is pretty cool!

We've also unlocked a new expansion called The Elves of Yeld, and by the time you read this we'll have probably unlocked a second expansion. Both are free for all backers!

You can check out the Kickstarter here. Nick and I would both really appreciate your support!

Thanks,

Jake

Yeld: 2nd Edition is now live on Kickstarter!

Hi everyone. Happy New Year!

I just wanted to let you know that I've launched a Kickstarter for the 2nd Edition of my fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, The Magical Land of Yeld



The project launched this morning and is already nearly 50% funded! The new hardcover book includes updated rules, new art and lore and plenty of new content. If you're a fan of Yeld you're going to love it, and if you've never tried the game this is the perfect place to start!

You can check out the project here. Nick and I have been busy working on this for two years, and  we would really appreciate your support.

Thanks!

And we're done!

Hi everyone. The last few Modest Medusa packages containing pillows and plush charms went in the mail today. That means that this project is finally wrapped up! 

Holy crap. That took... so long.

Thank you all for being so patient. I thought this would be a very quick project, and that we'd be done with it last Spring. I planned this project out in greater detail than any before. Instead we ran into problem after problem, delay after delay. One thing after another. 

I am very happy with the result though. I think both the Season 4 and 5 books turned out very nice, and I was happy to be able to produce the 48 Hour Book.

So what's next? 

Last month I started the newest season of Modest Medusa, and that will run through 2024. My brother Nick and I also just announced the 2nd Edition of our TTRPG The Magical Land of Yeld. So if you like role playing games of just want to know more about Yeld you can check out the Kickstarter Pre-Launch page for that project. The Kickstarter starts in early January.

I'm not sure when I'll be producing the next Modest Medusa book. I very much need to get Seasons 1 and 2 back in print. Not having those books available makes it difficult to introduce new readers to the series. Book 3 is also close to being sold out. I'm trying to decide if I want to do another Kickstarter for multiple books, or if I should be one large hardcover omnibus collecting books 1 and 3 (and possibly book 3). I need to make a decision soon so I can get those books back into print, then move on to Season 6!

Anyway, thank you all for your support, patience and understanding. Its been a long year, and I'm ready for a few quite weeks before the next one. I hope you have a nice Christmas and New Year. Stay safe and warm!

Quick update on plush stuff
12 months ago – Sat, Dec 09, 2023 at 05:24:30 AM

Hi everyone. Happy December! I just have a quick update this week for those of you who are waiting for your plush items (pillows and charms). I haven't forgotten about you! For the last 3 weeks my friend who makes these and I have been trying to get together so I can pick up goods and pay her. We keep missing each other! We're scheduled to meet up this coming Weds and it looks like it will finally happen! My goal is to have packages in the mail shortly after that.

I'll have another update for you when those packages are out the door.

Prints are shipping!

Hi everyone. Just a quick update. The prints have arrived and are now packed up and ready to ship. I'll be dropping them off at the post office early next week. Look for them by the end of next week.

Also, a few of your packages have come back to me. Those are going back in the mail next week too.

That's it for now!
