Venture to the doomed land of Weftenhaal to reclaim Fate and slay the gods.
Latest Updates from Our Project:
The Biggest Edit Job We've Ever Done

Greeting to those who seek souls, blood echoes, runes or thread,
Last month we said we'd release Doomspiral by the end of May. We've missed our target, primarily due to the massive editing job the heroic Cody Faulk has completed over the last few weeks.
This is SoulMuppet's biggest game yet, and our most mechanically complicated. We're going to be about 270 pages... Which is wild. There's more than 2000 comments on the doc, and a running total of 2000 words of editing notes.
Give us a little bit more type, and we'll have Doomspiral on your table.
As a treat, here's a sick banner Dwyn has finished of Gwyddain the Raintamer, godly Lord of Storm Tower and the Floodplains:
"Mmmm, high you have climbed, Forsaken. Much you must have overcome.” He turns, wind-whipped and rain-battered, yet unbending, unbreaking. “Alas, all for nought!”
See ya soon,
Zach, Mol and the rest of the Doomspiral Team
Work Continues

The layout of Doomspiral is completed, coming in at a hefty 260 pages. We're now at work on editing it, and aiming to release the final file of the core rules, character creation and adventure campaign to our backers before the end of the month, and begin printing physicals.
There's some images below, but be wary of spoilers... Players should likely not read on.
The frontmatter introcrawl of the game
The full list of playable Starting Backgrounds. Which will you be creating first?
The intro to our campaign, the LAND OF THE GODS, with clues on resolving mysteries.
The Mirrormire Manse, with its ruined and mirrored fragments, interwoven by mirror-doors.
The Danse Macabre between the Desiring and the Desired, a linked fight of tempo and rhythm, where players delicately move between odd and even positions.
Veteran Mikol, a shopkeeper and Arts of War Trainer, with his own quest to face his former colleague Lord Vidaan.
The next time you hear from us with be for PDF fulfilment.
Speak soon,
Zach
More Art + Timelines Update
3 months ago

We've made it to the next Tether/Site of Grace/Bonfire/Lantern of Doomspiral development, and thought we'd post an update while we're taking time to spend all those Thread/Runes/Souls/Echoes.
The team behind Doomspiral are all still hard at work with more beautifully hideous art arriving from Dwyn each week and Eryk fashioning his dreams of A24 Brutalism into book format. Nick and Zach are, fittingly, locked in a great and terrible battle with the endings and template monsters, and like the latter's attempts to defeat Ornstein and Smough, there is much cursing, restarting, and venting in discord channels.
Here’s three new pieces to share with you all!
A Vigil-Keeping Knight of Moiranesse, standing tree tall and terrible in defense of a cathedral in Tar Valarn. This is our Black Knight, our Crucible Knight, our Large Huntsman, a menacing mini-boss that stalks the earlygame and guards gates and doors leading to early treasures.
“Everything is malleable, if you know how. We can’t erase the past, of course. But! If you are smart and cunning, perhaps you can reweave the threads...” Orvo the Pioneer, a teacher of Decoctions and servant of the king of Stalvaggar.
The Latern-Seller, one of Doomspiral's 36 backgrounds, a denizen of Illiquae, depicted with a shoulder-draped Glow-worm. Illiquae is the realm of Darkness, a land where fate does not hold iron-sway, which the Custodial Church claims to be filled with heretics.
We'll be providing more updates soon, and are now hoping to deliver the PDF sometime in April or May. We're having to adjust timelines, and we always focus on our games being the best they can possibly be, and never sacrificing this for punctuality. We've been taking extra time to adapt our art to the layout, respond to the feedback on difficulty during the playtests, and ensure the information design of the layout is as clear and attractive as possible.
If you made it down this far, next week we're launching Orbital Blues Month via Backerkit. This is a month long celebration of the ORBITAL BLUES, our game of SAD SPACE COWBOYS. There's not only a tentpole project from SoulMuppet called Outlaws and Corporations, but contributions by 5 amazing creators using our 3rd party license and a cassette EP to link them all together. We launch on 1st April (not a joke) and you should head over to the page, check out all the amazing projects and follow along for more updates.
Thanks for your patience and we'll speak again soon,
Zach

Hi all
Sent a message to backers in error, when only the highest tier of backer was meant to recieve it. Sorry for the confusion! The form should no longer be accepting responses. If you are one of the top tier backers who should have got it, I'm going to email you privately.
As way of an apology, I'm going to tell you a bit more about the Gods you recieved that mysterious message about!
Spoilers ahead....
Moiranesse the Guardianess, God of Fate, stern, spear-armed and shield-bearing
Gwyddain, God of Storms, storm-wreathed and armed with his forked-lightning sword
Gentle Amn, God of Death, dead-devouring, shrouded in night and carrying a shepherd's crook
Ceridwhen and Carwyn, The Cursed Gods Desired and Desiring, engaged in morbid dance
Linnea the Twinned, God of Nature, six-armed, bow-wielding and wrapped in winter's cloak
Emyrriad the Corroded and the Golden, God of Ruin and Glory, time-haggard but still glorious
Apologies for the confusion, I hope this sates your desires for an update! More coming soon.
Thanks
Zach
Pledge Manager Update

Harken o' Forsaken,
You should have all received your pledge manager surveys last week. Check the email that you received your updates on, and you should have had an invitation.
Shipping prices are in, and are our best guesses based on the weight of this very, very big book we're making for you! As always, EU taxes are paid.
The books are not being printed in China and we ship everything internally from our US warehouse in Tennessee. We do not expect tariffs to be charged to any US backers. (unless your president comes up with some new policies that are even more restrictive to small businesses, in which case we'll keep you updated!)
We've got tons of new glorious art coming in by the day from the fantastic Dwyn. Witness the Observatory, a mini-dungeon in the Valley of the Faithful.
Here is also the Eclipsing Tower, the endpoint of a terrifying quest involving our Art of War Tutor, the stalwart Veteran Mikol and his rival, the cruel Lord Vidaan.
We've come out of the side of editing, and are now beginning the process of laying out everything. The next step will be progressing to layout, and Eryk is excited and ready to go, having already laid out the quickstart for us.
