Queer, roleplayer, or just otaku? You know what it's like to be different. Don the color-coded mantle and fight the very substance of Ignorance in this new tabletop RPG, based on the heartfelt and action-packed QUEERZ! manga.
This is the last chance to get the QUEERZ! Core, Adventure, and Fabulous game boxes! They will NOT be available for purchase online or in stores.
QUEERZ! is going to print July 2023, shipping late September 2023. Digital copies are included and will ship on July 7th, 2023.
Latest Updates from Our Project:
BackerKit Issue Resolved (by disabling PayPal)
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Nov 24, 2021 at 08:23:15 PM
Hi power-rangers with deadly fans and boas!
PLEDGE MANAGER (BACKERKIT) ISSUE WITH PAYPAL - RESOLVED
BackerKit informed us they resolved the pledge manager issue with PayPal payments bydisabling PayPal payments going forward for the QUEERZ! project.
Those of you who alreadypaid with PayPal - fear not, your payment has been received and recorded in your survey. You should now be able to complete the survey normally.
For any questions please contact us by messages here, on BackerKit, or at [email protected].
We deeply apologize that we cannot offer PayPal support with this pledge manager. This was not our choice, but BackerKit's decision due to a clash with one of their beta features. We did not know this would be the case when we sent the surveys out. We have had a good experience using BackerKit in the past in multiple projects and know that backers love using it, so we'll chalk it up to them having a bad day, and hope you do the same. If you haven't completed your survey yet and you absolutely must use PayPal, let us know in a message and we can try to work out a solution through the Son of Oak store.
Thank you again for your patience! We are very excited about the enthusiasm and support you have shown for the game, and can't wait to get it in you hands, which brings us to the next point...
WRITING UNDERWAY!
Writing for QUEERZ! is in full power mode! Lead writer Steven Pope has completed the first draft of the Player's Guide, and moved on to develop the Character Creation Guide. Our amazing writers have already submitted their expanded concepts and will soon start hammering out the details of your pregen characters, illustrious villains, and rainbow adventures! ❤️ I can't wait!!!
Share it with them and help us make a better game!
Until next time - remember to blast the world with your heart-warming Rainbow Flash!

Pledge manager survey invitations! Late Pledges + City of Mist books available!
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Nov 24, 2021 at 02:48:31 PM
Hey there all members of House QUEERZ!
Pledge manager surveys starting today!
We have started to send out the pledge manager (BackerKit) surveys! We sent out the initial "smoke test" earlier today, so about 5% of you have received an invitation to the pledge manager already. The rest of the invitations will be sent over the weekend - watch your inbox for yours!
The survey allows you to upgrade your pledge and/or pick up some of the game's great add-ons, as well as to let us know how you want your name to appear in the game.
This is the last chance to get Kickstarter prices on this game!
The surveys will be open until January 31st 2022, so you have a while to decide what to get. Credit cards will be charged in early February.
Shipping will not be charged yet, but instead closer to the shipping date in September 2022. We will reach out to you separately when the time comes and you'll be able to update your address.
The Late Pledge store is open!
The pre-order shop is also open for late pledges, so fans of QUEERZ! who have missed out on the chance to become backers during the campaign can join in on the fun. We will announce Late Pledges formally next week, but in the meantime, share this with your friends who would love QUEERZ!
If you are in the US, EU, UK, or Canada, then aside from additional add-ons for the QUEERZ! TTRPG, the pledge manager will also allow you to add City of Mist products to your order!
So if you're curious about the epic game and system on which QUEERZ! TTRPG runs, you can delve into the dark and brooding setting of the City with our core rulebooks, campaign module, expansion book, or various slipcase sets and book combos. You can also pick up City of Mist in PDF bundles directly through the pledge manager.
City of Mistitems will ship in February 2022, shortly after we lock the pledge manager. Shipping fees for City of Mist items are already included in their pricing, so as to not cause confusion with the shipping rates for your QUEERZ! shipment (which will be charged later, as mentioned above).

If you encounter any problems with your order or the pledge manager, don't hesitate to reach out to us either here, on BackerKit, or through [email protected].
Keep following your Runway!
Yours,
Omer
Writing is underway! Pledge manager and late pledges open next week!

Hey there shining heroes of the rainbow,
It's been a month since the end of the Kickstarter and we're still feeling the good vibes!
We wanted to share some updates with you on a couple of things, so let's go!
Writing is underway!
After wrapping up the campaign we took a short break, and then set out to work!
Writing for the Player's Guide is reaching its final stages, and it should enter the editing process in the coming weeks. The next step would be to tackle the Character Creation Guide, where we're working on fine-tuning all those helpful Themebooks that will allow you to create your own characters from scratch in a breeze! And after that, the MC Guide, which will lay out the rules for the showrunners along with helpful tips for MCs both old and new, through the use of the starter adventure 'Gyroscopes & Garlands' by Steven Pope.
Our intrepid contributing writers are all on the case as well, working on their own action-packed adventures, troublesome villains, and kickass playable characters!
Oh! And the best thing is that we'll be getting some more incredible art for all those adventures, pregens, and villains, all done by the phenomenal ISA! It's all coming very soon...
Pledge manager opens next week!
If everything keeps moving according to plan, our pledge manager - BackerKit - will be open starting November 19th. Keep an eye on your inbox around Thursday of next week.
There you will fill out a short survey, you'll be able to upgrade your pledge level, add additional boxes or add-ons to your order, and provide us with your shipping address. However, we will only collect shipping fees when everything is ready to ship. This is something that we've learned from past campaigns that can potentially save both you and us some time, trouble, and money.
Late Pledges open too!
We will be offering Late Pledges via a pre-order store on BackerKit, so if you have any friends that missed the Kickstarter campaign, you'd be able to point them our way for another chance at getting aboard the QUEERZ! train! Everything that was available on the Kickstarter will be available for a limited time on the BackerKit store.

That's it for today. We'll send out another update next week when we open the pledge manager and the pre-order store.
Until then,
Stay golden!
Omer
