Gothic PDF's & Dice News

Spooky season fast approaches and we wanted to bring you an update on all things SHIVER & let you know that we are still running firmly on schedule! First of all SHIVER Gothic: Secrets of Spireholm PDFs will be going out to backers next month! We are aiming for this to happen right at the beginning of October. The book is is an absolute monster (pun intended) coming in at over 300 pages so there's going to be plenty to read through and explore.

In other news we have the finalise Metal Dice packs to show off! We went through a few prototypes before reaching this final form which will slay any werewolf you can find.

SHIVER Double Feature Launch Date

We're also excited to announce that SHIVER Double Feature releases on Gamefound this coming October 11th! We'll have both SHIVER Blockbuster & SHIVER Slasher for players to delve into to their hearts content!

We also wanted to address any concerns that SHIVER Gothic backers might have about us launching another project before Gothic is fulfilled completely. We made an announcement earlier this year that because of the success of the SHIVER Gothic project we have been able to expand the SHIVER team with Charlie quitting his job to work on SHIVER full time and also welcoming Adam and his army of mad Slasher creations to the team!

This has meant our ability to create new content for SHIVER has massively increased, unfortunately this doesn't speed up the print and logistics process so we will have some overlap between SHIVER Gothic & SHIVER Double Feature. We want to assure everyone that we are still very much on time with SHIVER Gothic, and will be delivering the first SHIVER Gothic PDF before the Gamefound launches. In the future that our expanded team means we'll be able to bring you even more SHIVER content with shorter wait times for delivery as well. We want to thank you again for your continued support that has helped us bring SHIVER to the world.

If you have any questions please email us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to answer them.

Original PDFs are on the way!

Big steps for Parable Games

After the Gothic Kickstarter we had some big decisions to make about what our plans for Parable Games & SHIVER were going forward. SHIVER has grown from a homebrew, hand written in notebooks, to a fully fledged game system with an amazing growing and engaged community of players! 

This has led us to the exciting decision to expand our team permanently, our lead writer Charlie is going to live the dream and move to working on SHIVER full time alongside our artist Ben. We want to thank you so much for all your support which has helped us bring SHIVER to life with such success.

Whats does this mean for the future we hear you cry?!

Well for one it means we are going to be able to move faster when it comes to getting the books ready for print and also the speed at which we will be able to create new content for SHIVER. 

Firstly we will be looking to get SHIVER Gothic completed ahead of the schedule we announced on launch. Obviously the state of shipping and manufacture is still a little wobbly but we anticipate we should be able to get books out to you a little quicker as well as earlier delivery on Gothic PDF's.

Secondly, you can expect an increase in the amount of projects we are producing at once. Previously with the team working on SHIVER alongside their normal lives we didn't have the capacity to do more than one project at a time. But now we can! This may mean that at some points we have multiple projects which are awaiting delivery at any given time but will also allow us to shorten the wait between SHIVER fans making a pledge and receiving their rewards!

Alongside this exciting news we also have another incredible announcement. SHIVER has been shortlisted for an award!

We're very excited to announce that SHIVER has been shortlisted for Best RPG at UK Games Expo Awards this year! It's amazing to be in the company of another amazing publisher and to have SHIVER held up to this regard!

For those attending UK Games Expo we will be there with a stand and some big reveals!

Don't forget to fill out your pledge manager!

Whilst you're here! SHIVER Gothic backers who haven't managed to fill their Backerkit pledge manager out yet please do so. This will help us lock in numbers with suppliers quicker and make the fulfilment process smoother. 

If you're struggling with your Backerkit or need any info please let us know at [email protected]
