Created by Learn Larp, LLC.

In this improvisational party roleplaying game by Learn Larp, you're in detention at magic school on the night of the full moon. How will you protect yourself & your friends when someone wolfs out? Set in the new magical universe of New World Magischola.

Hello backers!

We have the leeuwendaalders here, and all counted out for the games. Masks, gloves, and potions bottles are ready, as are the Werewolf Wanted posters, rules, and expanded ephemera.

We've had a small snag on getting the game cards printed that may delay us about two weeks (technically putting delivery in your hands in early October vs. the promised September.) Games production companies were backed up with printing for Gen Con and for Spiel, and we had to redo our card template for a different format, which ate some time. Things are good now, and moving forward. We'll have the game to you very soon!

If you need to change your address or complete your survey, you can log back into BackerKit and make the changes. We haven't locked down for shipping just yet, as we are waiting for the cards to arrive.

Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to your feedback as you play the game with your friends!

Wolf has gone to press!

Hello awesome backers!

In our possession are: the Werewolf Wanted posters, potions bottles, HUGE box of Leeuwendaalders, werewolf half-masks and gloves, and all the updated ephemera from the stretch goals: Path posters, House posters, potions labels, pre-generated professor characters, double the ephemera (including Detention Bingo)!

We've added the Kickstarter characters to the game, gave it a final proofing, and we're sending it to print!

We're on target for the late September delivery! We know you're excited to get your hands on the game and we're ready to get all this stuff out of our apartment :) 

We'll be charging credit cards for shipping on September 1 and locking down addresses for shipping a week later. If you haven't done your survey yet, please do so, and please make sure we have your correct address!

Thanks again for your support, and watch out for things that growl under the moon!

Please complete your BackerKit Surveys by August 11th

Hello, awesome Backers!

We want to get Wolf into your hands as soon as possible!

If you're among the 87% of backers who have completed your survey -- THANK YOU!

If you're in that 13% that has not yet, would you kindly do so as soon as possible so that we can lock down orders and begin fulfillment? This is especially important if you have one of the "your-character-in-the-game" rewards. We do want to include your character, but if we don't hear from you by August 11, we will have to go to press without your info, in order to not hold up production and fulfillment for everyone.

We'll be uploading the rules, the ephemera, the adoption certificate, and the wanted posters as PDFs into BackerKit, so that you can download them at your leisure. This includes the stretch goal bonuses: Path posters, House posters, and potions labels.

I am working on a batch delivery of Wolf to Copenhagen in late September, so if you are European, supported us, and are stymied by the shipping costs, please send me a message at [email protected] and we will see if we can work something out.

Thanks again for your support, and I can't wait to have Wolf running across the country and the world!

If you haven't already filled out your survey on Backerkit, please do so immediately! We are finalizing the cards to be printed, and especially need character information if you chose to include your character in the game.

Can't find the survey link? You can find it here: https://nwmwolf.backerkit.com

As soon as we have those responses, we'll begin printing! We're still on schedule to mail the game out in September.

Backerkit Surveys are coming!
almost 7 years ago – Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 08:30:57 AM

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.  

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. We have lots of New World Magischola goodies available, as well as individual reward items like our werewolf mask and gloves...just in case you still want to add to the atmosphere of your game. ;)

What's a game of A Wolf by Any Other Name, without a werewolf mask?
