Monsters of Murka

Created by Jaron R. M. Johnson

Monsters of Murka is a hilarious new campaign setting for fifth edition DND full of comical monsters, detailed maps, parodical mayhem, and political satire! This campaign setting includes adventures for first to tenth level characters. We were successfully funded on Kickstarter in June 2019, and we're stoked to share everything we're creating with you!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Monsters of Murka is now a Copper best-seller on DriveThruRPG!

This news is so awesome for us. Within one week spent on the marketplace, we hit Copper. We're super stoked about this, and taking some time to celebrate.

I did want to share with you guys this giveaway we're running though!

You can enter on Twitter, and there are bonus entries available on Gleam.io!

Keeping this update short for you guys. Have a good weekend!

Do I ever get tired of disappointing you guys? Also Roll20 goodies.

Well, I am a fool.

I didn't realize that DriveThruRPG has to approve products each time before they're listed (i.e., before I can send out download codes).

So, as a result, your PDFs will NOT be arriving today, as previously anticipated.

To be totally honest, I submitted it for approval once, and it went through in a few hours. I was like "oh cool" and that was late last night. Then I realized it had gone public before I had done all the edits to the product listing I wanted to, so I was like "no no no don't be public yet." Then I made the edits and thought I could just flip it back to private until we were ready for launch. But, much to my surprise, it needs to be approved again.

Just my luck.

The approval process takes "1-3 business days" but, as I said before, last time it was approved within a few hours. I reached out to their Discord to make sure it gets approved when and how it's supposed to. 

Great, okay, so now you all know I'm a big dummy. What's new?

What's new, you ask?

Well, on the bright side, it looks like we'll be bringing you all Roll20 tokens and maps. And on the brighter side, due to the quarantine, we'll be including these tokens for free with every copy of the PDF, purchased via DTRPG or acquired via this Kickstarter. And it'll be indefinitely free, so that's pretty cool.

During this quarantine time, we've all gotta make concessions, and if I can push you guys one step closer to staying inside by providing those tokens, then I'll be damned if I won't do just that.

IT'S HAPPENING. IT'S HAPPENINGGGGGG.

This is it, y'all. We finally made it. MONSTERS OF MURKA IS LIVE!

I can hardly believe it myself. I waxed pretty romantic and whimsical over on my Twitter, so I'll try to keep brief and professional and not crying at all here in this update.

Monsters of Murka is live on DriveThruRPG.

If you were slated to receive a copy of the PDF, you should have gotten an email from DriveThruRPG with a link to your complementary copy. Please, please please please, consider leaving a review for the book on DriveThruRPG to help others make the decision to pick up their own copy. DriveThruRPG makes you wait 24 hours, so please please consider setting an alarm or a reminder for tomorrow evening, then go back to the product page on DriveThruRPG and review it.

Thank you all so much. Bless up. I can't emphasize enough that you are all the best.

With love and warm regards,

Jaron R. M. Johnson and the Action Fiction Faction

Backerkit Card Charge coming soon!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 11:28:16 PM

Two updates in one day? Wtf?

I know, I know. But this is it, this is the big moment.

I ordered the books. They're officially with the printer and being printed over at PrintNinja, who are my absolute heroes (lookin' at you, Grace!). 

As a result, I'll be charging cards for Backerkit to collect shipping payments and addresses on Friday, April 17th. I wanted to let you guys know a bit in advance, so you had a good idea of what to expect in the near future.

  • Folks who backed at the paperback book level, your books will be fulfilled through DriveThruRPG's Print On Demand service, and you should expect your books relatively soon. 
  • Hardcover and Special Edition backers, yours will be coming from PrintNinja, and so it'll take a little longer, so please bear with me!

Finally, I'm happy to inform you that your PDFs will be arriving WILDLY soon. I've gotta dig back into Backerkit some more to figure out exactly how to get everyone their digital rewards, but you should expect your PDFs to some in on April 20th. And what a day to celebrate, am I right?

I WILL SEE YOU ALL SOON.

The time has come for you to CAST YOUR VOTE for the SPECIAL EDITION COVER!

You've been so patient, but the time has come.

You must help me select which color to choose for the special edition cover!

We've spoken to printers, and made our decision. My finger hovers over the "order books" button, waiting for the conclusion of this poll in 24 hours. 

The covers will be faux leather, with embossing on the back, and gold foil on both the front and back. But shall we choose the blue one? Or the red one?

The Blue One
The Red One
