Hello!

I was just thinking about you. I thought, wow! This sweetheart backed TAVERS: The Meow Wolf Roleplaying Game. What a cool move! I bet you're planning to play this game with some friends... Or maybe some enemies? Surely you're not planning to play TAVERS with a bunch of rats? Well, whom, or whatever you're planning to play with, I thought surely you could do with double the amount of material!

DOUBLE!?!?!

That's right! The core book already comes chock full loaded to the brim with Episodas, Characters, and Locations to keep you playing for hours on end, but let's go ahead and heap another full dose of content on top!

We've got 5 more Episodas getting added on to all Digital and Physical pledges in supra-deluxoid PDF-sational format!

Multiple Stretches! That’s what I call a workout warm up!
3 months ago – Sat, Mar 07, 2026 at 10:56:11 AM

Hello Tavers! 

What a freaking cool first few days! Thank you again for supporting the campaign and helping to...

UNLOCK 6 Stretch Goals!
 

$70k: Acetate Cover for Standard Core Rulebook - UNLOCKED!!

First up, we’ve popped the book into the enhance-0-matic and set the dial all the way to super upgrade! By unlocking the $70k Stretch Goal the Standard Core Rulebook will come fully equipped with an acetate dust jacket. Perfect for keeping your covers clean even after contact with a Grimeyoid or Moldling.
 

$85k: Two New Locations Added - UNLOCKED!!

Images to be revealed in an upcoming update!

Travel Upgrade - You’ve been bumped to first class! Free beverages and more foot space! Take off your shoes and stretch your toes. Just like this stretch goal, you’ve unlocked more space. Or, spaces. We’re adding two more locations and also more pages to the book! Stay tuned for details on where (or what) those places are going to be! See you when we land and have to lace up again!
 

$100k: Printed Page Edges on the Standard Rulebook and Metallic Page Edges on the Limited Edition Rulebook - UNLOCKED!!

The unpredictable nature of the TAVE can cause it to swell, and fluctuate when you least expect it. We didn’t imagine that all of you TAVERS smashing stretch goals would squeeze some of Tradd’s amazing cover artwork onto the edge of the pages. But hey! Look at how much cooler it is now! Plus the Limited Edition book is all shiny on the edges too! Massive radness!
 

$120k: Cover art Poster - UNLOCKED!!

This 11 x 17" poster of Tradd Moore's amazing cover art is getting printed and included in all physical tiers! 


And last but not least….

$145k: Two New Characters Added - UNLOCKED!!

Images to be revealed in an upcoming update!

Both versions (Standard & LE) of the book are getting additional content! We’re going to add two new characters! We’ll share more details on whom these new beings are in future updates! So stay tuuuuned for the expanded content! Or Tentcon.. Tent*Con? the ever growing convention for tents, run by tents, and also, all about tents!!! No? Not interested? I guess I need to work on my pitch…

Next Up…

$170K QUANTUM PARABOX UPGRADE - LOCKED

Expanded Schemes - The inside of the parabox is getting a sweet paint job. We're adding game content to the inside of the box lid! It's like putting something useful nearby! Like a hand towel beside the sink! Keys by the front door! Grizzly bear beside the Source well!

And more Stretch Goals to come!!


Thank you so much for joining us on this journey, and I’m looking forward to lots of tent jokes in the future!

Cheers.

Tiger Wizard & The Exalted Funeral Team.
