Fetch Quest - a deck-building game in the Realms of Pugmire
Created by Richard Thomas / Onyx Path Publishing
Fetch Quest is a family-friendly cooperative deck-building game. Each player represents a pioneer, one of six adventurous dogs on a dangerous quest. The pioneers work together to overcome dangerous challenges and resolve missions. Once the missions are resolved, the quest is finished and the players win the game.
Latest Updates from Our Project:
March 2019 Status Update
about 5 years ago
– Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 05:20:14 PM
Hello Fetch Quest Barkers,
As we conclude March, we're also in the process of concluding this campaign! We're in the PP&S stage - Pick, Pack & Ship - and our rewards will soon be homeward bound.
It's James, the lead hound for this kickstarter campaign.
I've launched a few BackerKit e-mail volleys out this week, which should have provided many of you with tracking information for your shipment. At this stage in the PP&S process, many will be "Pre-Shipment" or "Label Created but not yet in System." But, you'll be able to check that same tracking number over the next few weeks to see your package working through the system toward you.
As we enjoy the pending deliveries, let's check in with Eddy on the greater Realm of Pugmire...
Hello Good Dogs!
Realms of Pugmire Update (March 2019) from Eddy Webb
Wow, March flew by almost as fast as February. But there are still some great updates for you in the Realms of Pugmire!
PIRATES OF PUGMIRE
Can you see that speck on the horizon? Is it an island? No, it's Pirates of Pugmirecoming ever closer into view! The final drafts are in, so I've reviewed everything, and tweaked all the prose to my liking. All that's left is for me to write the fiction pieces, and we'll have a complete pre-edited manuscript ready for eager Kickstarter hands.
I'm also deep in art discussions with Rich Thomas, who has been my first mate in all things artistic. If you love the art in the Realms of Pugmire, he's a big part of that, working hand-in-glove with art director Mike Chaney. Rich has a lot of great ideas that will make Pirates really stand out and strike the right balance of fun and adventurous. And it means we have fun conversations like deciding what kinds of clothing birds wear and how to make a jewelry for turtles.

Like previous Realms of Pugmire Kickstarters, I'll give you an early access version of the game for backers to use. Unlike previous Kickstarters, however, it won't be a truncated version -- it'll be the whole manuscript! So you'll get to see everything we're putting in right up front. If you don't remember from last month, it'll contain:
Playable lizard and bird characters!
Six new callings!
Rules for sailing and fighting on the Acid Sea!
Treasure and gunpowder weapons!
Three complete adventures!
Information on Waterdog Port, Port Matthew, and all new locations!
Dive into the world of Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau with this handy compendium. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to start an adventure of your own. Some highlights of Roll of Good Dogs and Excellent Cats include:
A variety of ready-to-play cat and dog characters
Adventuring groups and their origins
Story suggestions for short sessions or campaigns
Which path will you take?

Heads Up - Charging Credit Cards for BackerKit Orders
about 5 years ago
– Wed, Mar 13, 2019 at 02:01:17 PM
Hello Fetch Quest Barkers,
Just a friendly reminder that we plan to charge cards for add-on items you purchased or any additional funds you may owe through BackerKit today, March 13. Make sure that you have the correct card information on file. If any issues arise with your payment you’ll receive an email letting your know to correct your payment information.
Again - this is only for purchases or payments to be made via Backerkit. If you completely paid for your pledge and add-ons during the kickstarter campaign, you're all set for this step.
If you need to review your information, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com
Next Due Date: Address Information finalized and locked in on March 20th.
A reminder will go out a few days before this due date as part of the process -- we will be locking in shipping information for all physical deliveries on March 20th. That means we'll be delivering your book to whatever address you've got set up in BackerKit as of that day - please confirm it's correct and where you'll be to receive the books in the next few months.
We take responsibility to ship the rewards to the address you've provided by that cut off date - if it's incorrect, we will still consider our obligation fulfilled, so it's incumbent on you to ensure that we have the correct information.
February 2019 Summary / Lock Down Reminder
about 5 years ago
– Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 08:43:35 AM
Hello Barkers,
Today is the last day to make final updates to your order. Tomorrow, we will lock your reward selections and begin preparation to charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can update your shipping address up until we lock addresses for shipping.
If you haven’t answered your survey yet, if you fill out your BackerKit survey or pay for extra shipping after today's order due date, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.
To review your information, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com
THANK YOU!
Thank you all again for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for me when trying to keep track of all 500 of you!
Thanks everyone for your support!
Next Due Date: Payment Information finalized and charged on MARCH 13th, 2019.
Next Due Date: Address Information finalized and locked in on MARCH 20th, 2019.
Realms of Pugmire Update (February 2019) from EDDY WEBB
February might be the shortest month, but there's no shortage of activity within the Realms of Pugmire! Here's what's going on!
EARPLAY INTERACTIVE AUDIO DRAMA!
It's been a long road, but in the next few weeks Earplay will be launching the first volume of a Pugmire interactive audio drama, "Friends and Enemies!" Written and designed by myself, Cyrus Nemati (Lords of New York, Bubble Island 2), and Dave Grossman (Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max), "Friends and Enemies" follows a royal guard (played by Amy Vorpahl) as she tries to be a good dog while facing undead cats, a roguish ratter, and the secrets of the first king of Pugmire. And you get to decide how the story goes by talking to your iOS, Alexa, or Google Home device!
For those who backed the first Pugmire Kickstarter at a level to get a PDF, you'll be receiving an email in the coming weeks directly from Earplay with instructions on how to redeem your reward. Note that Earplay is handling the process, so if you have concerns or problems, head to earplay.com for customer support. And if you didn't back that Kickstarter, you can go to this link and click the "Get Notified" button to be informed when it goes live!
PIRATES OF PUGMIRE
I'm close to getting final drafts on Pirates of Pugmire, the first supplement for both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau. That means we're close to the point where we can reveal the secrets of the Acid Sea to all you good dogs and excellent cats. We're looking to kickstart the, uh, Kickstarter in the coming months, so start saving your plastic! The book will contain:
* Playable lizard and bird characters!
* Six new callings!
* Rules for sailing and fighting on the Acid Sea!
* Treasure and gunpowder weapons!
* Three complete adventures!
* Information on Waterdog Port, Port Matthew, and all new locations!

SURVEY REVIEW & LOCK DOWN
about 5 years ago
– Wed, Feb 13, 2019 at 11:21:09 AM
Hello Barkers,
We're closing in on the big finale for this campaign - soon, we'll be shipping out everyone's copies of Fetch Quest! Before the packages get posted, we've got to take time to review all the information you've submitted and lock down everything to pass on to Onyx Path's fulfillment partner. So, it's time for Survey Review & the Lock Down countdown!
IT'S TIME TO LOCK DOWN THE SURVEYS AND PREPARE FOR SHIPPING!!
As noted in January's update, I ask that everyone reviews their BackerKit survey to confirm rewards and lock in information. Information below on how to access your Survey again, but key follow-up steps are:
1. CONFIRM REWARDS - I'll be locking down all Reward Lists, so if you wanted to add any additional rewards, please do so by FEBRUARY 27th, 2019. In two weeks time, I will lock down all reward lists and you won't be able to adjust or add anything after that time.
2. CONFIRM ALL PAYMENT INFORMATION - For any additions you made in BackerKit, or any payments that did not process at the end of the Kickstarter campaign, please ensure your payment information is up to date, valid, and ready to be processed by MARCH 13th, 2019. In four weeks time, I will instruct BackerKit to lock down and process all outstanding payments.
3. CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION - Please ensure your shipping information is up-to-date with your expected address for March 2019. Please ensure that this information is entered and correct by MARCH 20th, 2019. In five weeks time, I will take the shipping information we have for you in BackerKit and provide that to our fulfillment partners, so they can begin shipping one week later.
ADDRESS CONFIRMATION & DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS.
Consider this the six-weeks-from-shipping warning to update your information, after which point, you agree that our responsibility to you is to ship your order as entered into our pledge manager system to the address listed in BackerKit, that title and risk passes to you upon delivery to a common carrier for such shipment, and you are responsible for import duties or any other duties that may be payable to the relevant tax authorities, providing correct address information and ensuring this address is deliverable by normal methods. Failure to confirm mailing address prior to March 20th, 2019 will be taken as agreement that all obligations have been met and no further action or effort is required on the part of Onyx Path.
(Of course, if you're getting digital rewards only, you don't need to worry about your address. This is just for the physical deck and booster pack).
SHIPPING UPDATE TO COME
This is all in anticipation of shipping in the upcoming month. I will send another update when the games are actually ready to go and will begin shipping, but we need to have this information locked down prior to that stage. If you find yourself in an unusual circumstance or your residence unexpectedly changes between March 20th and the date I send out the shipping update, contact me to see what I can do at that time.
BACKERKIT REVIEW
To review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com/faq

January 2019 Update
over 5 years ago
– Wed, Jan 23, 2019 at 12:38:05 PM
Hello Barkers,
We're into January 2019 now and the recent snowfall in my city means it's time for a month-end status update. Topics for this update:
- Realms of Pugmire update from Eddy
- Lockdown Prep
- Fetch Quest Reward Status
- Kickstarter Concierge Duties
Realms of Pugmire Update (January 2019) by Eddy Webb
It's time to ring in the new year, and talk all about the latest things happening in the Realms of Pugmire!
FETCH QUEST IS NEARLY HERE
All the people who needed to look at printing proofs have looked at printing proofs. I just heard that boxes are shipping from the printer. So soon you will be getting word from James, our lovely Kickstarter concierge, about things like locking down pledges and the like!
I ran a game of Fetch Quest at Midwinter, where I've been playtesting it for a couple of years now. And two of the players have been in every game of it so far. They love the new changes, saying the pace and feel is a lot smoother now. And that's great to hear!
So get your gear together, because soon it'll be time to go on a quest!
ROLL OF GOOD DOGS AND EXCELLENT CATS
Speaking of things that are nearly here, the Mau stretch goal "Roll of Good Dogs and Excellent Cats" is also nearly ready! For those that backed at appropriate levels for the Mau Kickstarter, you'll be getting the beta version as a PDF download soon. If you see anything wonky, we'll have an errata thread for you to comment on. Otherwise, have fun with six new dog and six new cat characters for your Pugmire and Mau games!
PIRATES OF PUGMIRE
I just got the last of the first drafts in for Pirates of Pugmire, and I'm getting ready to dive in and read it. In fact, here's a very small taste of what's to come.
--
There I was, sat at the bar with a flagon of some concoction in my hand. I was prepared to turn in for the night when a parrot with stunning red feathers walked in, accompanying a sad-looking gecko with a shorn tail. I discovered their actual names long after their departure, but at the point they sat down, the parrot said “Stumpy will have the hotpot” and the gecko replied in turn “Pally will have an oatmeal. And grog for us both! We have business.” The barkeep dashed off and I was intrigued. Genuine pirates with genuine pirate business? I shifted to a closer stool and listened.
--
There's more to come as we gear up for our Kickstarter later this year!

As Eddy noted, we'll soon be in a position to start our Lockdown Process. Once I know when the games will arrive at our fulfillment house, I'll start a six week countdown, so that everyone has time to get everything in order.
Basically, I give two-week target dates to do the following:
LOCK ORDERS - everyone gets one last opportunity to review their rewards list and add any final items that they may wish to purchase; once the orders are locked down, we're unable to make any changes.
CHARGE CARDS - For any pre-orders or BackerKit Add On rewards, we process the payment on this set date. If your payment information needs to be updated, it needs to be fixed before this date. Any payments that can't be processed will prevent shipments. Most of the backers paid during the Kickstarter campaign, so this is only for the backers that pre-ordered or added additional items after the campaign.
LOCK ADDRESSES - Final review and confirmation of all shipping addresses. Our commitment for this kickstarter is to ship the rewards to the address provided by this date. If you need to update your shipping information, it needs to be done before we lock it down and send to the fulfillment house.
Again, we're not quite at that stage yet, but if you want to review your Backerkit information and ensure that everything is set and in good order, you'll be ahead of the game.
To review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://fetch-quest.backerkit.com/faq

I'll post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each monthly update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page. Also, feel free to check out Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes posts (linked here) which will give you a weekly status report on ALL of the projects Onyx Path has on the go (you may see spoilers for my monthly updates, or see what other kickstarter campaigns are currently running).
They Came From Beneath The Sea! is a new tabletop RPG from Onyx Path, encompassing the wonder, horror, thrills, and hilarity of 1950s science fiction. This game evokes all that is great in the B-movies of decades ago, and provides a dynamic, fun experience at the table.
The players, as humans, live in a world under increasing attack. The attackers? Aliens from beneath the sea, obviously!
Adventures can range from the one-shot defense of small coastal town, to the lengthier liberation of a cruise ship invested with gill-kin, all the way to a campaign in which characters seize an alien submarine and ride it all the way down to the sea bed to take the fight to the invaders.
