New Project: Monster Wrangler!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 25, 2021 at 08:02:23 AM

Our next project, Monster Wrangler, is a monster-training tabletop roleplaying game. It's got lots of awesome monsters, a bunch of cool abilities for the human Wranglers that train them, a fully fleshed out campaign world, and a starter adventure with pregenerated characters so that you can hit the ground running. We've been working on it for awhile, and we're really excited to see it finally working its way onto Kickstarter.


If you're interested in the game, you can get an automatic Kickstarter notification when we launch by clicking the link below.

Take care, thanks for your time, and thanks for your support!

Launder is live on Kickstarter
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jun 04, 2019 at 08:19:53 PM

Hey everyone!

Our next game, Launder: A Solo Money Laundering Game is now live on Kickstarter!

If you're interested in solo games, check it out at the link below!

We'll keep future Launder updates restricted to that Kickstarter so as not to flood everyone here with posts about another game. 

As always, thank you so much for all your support!

Launder Launch (June 4th)!
almost 5 years ago – Fri, May 31, 2019 at 01:30:07 AM

Hey everyone!

I hope that everyone has been enjoying Lockwood's Asylum! 


I wanted to let you all know that our next project, Launder, is launching on Kickstarter next Tuesday (June 4th). 

Launder is a solo money-laundering game that involves a bit of luck, a bit of planning, and a fair amount of resource management. It's a lighter game than Lockwood's Asylum (both in terms of theme and mechanics), but we're hoping that you'll take the opportunity to check it out once the campaign goes live. 

As a bit of an Easter egg, we decided to set the game in Lakeshore, the home of the Lakeshore Asylum, which is featured in both Lockwood's Asylum and the Madhouse RPG. 

In fact, one of our stretch goals adds two Lockwood's Asylum themed cards to the game: the "Lakeshore Asylum" Asset and the "Asylum Scandal" Event! 

We'll post another update about Launder and a link to the campaign once it's live, but until then, we'll let you get back to tending to the gentle patients of the asylum. 



Watch out for the weird monkey. @__@

Madhouse: A Lockwood's Asylum RPG
over 5 years ago – Mon, Oct 08, 2018 at 02:07:44 AM

Hey everyone!

Our final Kickstarter reward - the Lockwood's Asylum RPG -  has just been sent out to everyone receiving stretch goals!

We've titled it "Madhouse," and it's clocking in at a whopping 132 pages, which is quite a bit more than the 50+ pages we promised in the initial stretch goal!

Madhouse was a true joy to write, and we here at Blackout Games are super grateful to all of you for helping us make it a reality.

We hope that you and your RPG group enjoy the game! We'd love to hear stories of your adventures, so feel free to send them our way!

Final Shipping Update!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Oct 01, 2018 at 11:15:30 PM

Hey everyone!

With the exception of five orders, all of our physical rewards have been shipped off to backers. When we went to package up those five orders, the boxes had some structural defects that we didn't feel comfortable about, so we delayed them as we wait for new boxes to arrive. We're expecting those orders to ship out mid-week, so the delay is minimal.

Now that we've (mostly) finished with shipping, we'll be taking some time to go through and apply the final proofreading edits to the RPG. We're expecting to send that PDF out to backers this weekend.

Thank you everyone for your support! We really enjoyed this Kickstarter and learned a lot, and we hope that everyone enjoys their rewards.
