Latest Updates from Our Project:
Backerkit Pledge Manager Update
8 months ago
– Thu, Aug 07, 2025 at 03:30:50 PM
Howdy everyone!
Thank you all so much for the continued support on the Backerkit Pledge Manager!
We wanted to message you all today to let you know that we updated our costs and were able to optimize to save you all a considerable amount on shipping.
For many of you who already completed the Backerkit Pledge Manager, take another look and you should see your overall shipping costs have decreased.
If you were having issues with your orders being overcharged in the EU and UK, the numbers are correct now.
If you had the Early Bird Dice Offer, that has been included to orders for free (it was originally charging as an Add-On).
We hope that these saving pass on to you, and we thank you for your continued support. We felt it was best to keep our integrity and charge you all fairly, rather than to pocket any sort of ill-gotten gains (that grave ain't full of gold, for those who know).
We hope that our work saves you that little bit more in such a difficult financial time, and allows you all to enjoy Rexfald all the more!
If you wish to support us with your funds, please consider purchasing an add-on in the Pledge Manager, or simply pass it on to another good cause.
We hope you are all having a wonderful day, and we look forward to seeing you all on the Endless Range (with hopefully a little more in your saddlebags)!
Yours Truly, The Gneiss Games Team.
Backerkit Surveys and Pledge Manager are Live!
8 months ago
– Wed, Aug 06, 2025 at 04:09:23 PM
We’re excited to let you know that the BackerKit Pledge Manager is now live, and surveys have been sent out to all backers!
Yeehaw! ... So what is a pledge manager?
A pledge manager is an online service that collects your shipping information through surveys, calculates your shipping and tax, and allows you to manage your pledge until the project is ready to ship. It is an online portal through which we gather all the pieces necessary to fulfill your order and bring the Rexfald right to your doorstep.
The pledge manager also allows everyone to:
Upgrade their pledge or grab extra items
Bring on a friend to make a late pledge
Give you time to edit your shipping details if you have moved.
You do not need to sign up for Backerkit to fill out the survey, but always feel free to follow us over there!
If you did not get a link to the Pledge Manager in your email, you can use this link to access the Pledge Manager as well: https://rexfald.backerkit.com/
What's in the Backerkit Pledge Manager?
We have opened up many of our pledge tiers for everyone - including limited spaces for more Collector's Tiers - for everyone to upgrade their pledges and get special deals on our campaign items! It's the last chance to pick up many of these limited items, so don't miss out!
Although we didn't quite hit our final Train Battlemaps Stretch Goal, we still really want to do it! You'll see in the store that you can support the creation of these amazing Battlemaps and pick up a copy yourself! Help us reach our goal so we can bring you every last bit we have left in our saddlebags!
🛠 Some Production Updates 🛠
With the Bullet Dice and Bandoliers showing up in the Pledge Manager, I wanted to share some good news with you all! We got some of our first factory prototypes back for the Bullet Dice and Leather Bandoliers! I wanted to share those with y'all so you can see we're continue to make good progress on this front!
Our Factory Models for the Bullet Dice (Rear) compared against the next Largest set of Bullet Dice on the Market (Front).And No, we're not Compensating for Anything
The Real-Leather Prototype for the Bandolier Dice Holder!
🤠Our Wild First Playtest Is Coming Next Week! 🤠
Our first bundle of Playtest Materials will be released next week! Look for it in our update post here! The focus of this playtest is mainly on player fun, honing that iconic Western feel we want to nail with our Subclasses, Monsters, Firearms, and other Wild Western content! We've already shared a ton over on our Discord server, so feel free to hop in there to keep the communication active through the playtest period!
Also, don’t forget to join our Discord server to let your voice be heard as we send our our playtest materials! We just passed 200 members, and I'd love to get as many of you in there as possible! We'll have many upcoming polls where you can impact what we end up making! Come jump on in while the gettin's good!
Thank you all again for the continued support and excitement! It's cowpokes like you that make life on the endless range worth livin'!
Sincerely, The Fine Folks at Gneiss Games
BackerKit Pledge Manager & First Playtest Goes Live This Month! Plus An Update on Production!
9 months ago
– Sun, Jul 06, 2025 at 01:02:52 PM
Howdy everyone!
We've come to mosey on by to give you all an update on production, what we've been up to, and let you all know that we are happy to announce that the Backerkit Pledge manager will be live in two weeks!
We partnered with BackerKit to help streamline our fulfillment, shipping, and late pledges and to give you all one final chance to grab some special add-ons from the campaign! BackerKit's platform will allow you to manage your pledge, update your shipping info, and grab any select add-ons you still want to wrangle up! Late pledges will remain open through September to allow anyone who wants to hop on the bandwagon to jump on before it hits retail!
We've always taken a strong stance on tariffs. Many of you probably remember our "Tariff-Proof Prices" promise that we made during our campaign. To reiterate, we will NEVER charge you more due to global shipping changes, and we are happy to say that we were able to lock in our shipping costs and ensure you all get your items shipped swiftly and without a headache! Many of our shipping rates are actually Lower than they were originally during the campaign, which means that many of our Western lovers across the world can get physical products for Gneiss prices! (Please forgive the pun!)
Before we send out the final Pledge Manager, some of you will be getting your surveys early as a smoke test for BackerKit. Keep an eye on your inbox to see if you're one of the lucky few who will be a part of our first wave of testers!
But now for some updates we're just itching to share!
🤠Our Wild First Playtest Is Coming Soon! 🤠
Our first bundle of Playtest Materials will go live one week after the release of the Backerkit surveys. It is positively overflowing with play-ready content to use in your games as you warm up for the main release of Rexfald at the end of this year! The focus of this playtest is mainly on player fun, honing that iconic Western feel we want to nail with our Subclasses, Monsters, Firearms, and other Wild Western content! We've already shared a ton over on our Discord server, so feel free to hop in there to keep the communication active through the playtest period!
🛠 First Production Prototypes Are Here! 🛠
We have worked super hard over this summer to get the bullet dice, leather bandolier, revolver, and Wild West Miniatures into production! We'll have them physically completed over the next month, but for now, I want to share a few images of what we have going on!
The prototype of the Resin Revolver, based on the Texas Walker.
A showcase of the revolver's locking mechanism, rotation, and dice-tumbler functionality
Some molding clay prototypes of the Brass Bullet Dice. The disk is a part of the revolver assembly.

📈 Stretch Goal Plans 📈
We hit our 1400 Backer Stretch Goal 🎉🎉🎉! That means we're including a new set of mounts from places like the Heavenly States, Hellish Range, Cryptic World, Elemental Plains, and the Final Frontier!
We're still gunning for our Train Battlemaps Stretch Goal! We're only a few thousand away, so tell your friends and we'll be there before you know it! Stretch goals are final once the Backerkit Pledge Manager goes out in 2 weeks, so let's hit it before then, I know we can do it!
Sometimes the bond between rider and mount is so strong that the mount can return from death to serve its rider for the rest of its natural life. Known as Falgraces, these mounts are immortally loyal to those they knew in life. A few even remain on the endless frontier for centuries, training the descendants of the rider they knew in life. (A new unlock for our 1400 Follower Stretch Goal! Thank You!)
🎲 PLAYTEST MATERIAL 🎲
Our playtest is chock-full of the Wild Western Fantasy Content that you came here for! Almost everything we're including in the playtest will have art and tokens included, so you can immediately incorporate it into your own games! We'll have a survey going out 2 weeks after the material goes live so you can share your feedback and be a part of the process!
Included in the Playtest will be...
🤠 18 Wild West Subclasses 🤠
Paladins who uphold the line between the living and the dead follow the Oath of The Undertaker. These paladins live close to death in their everyday lives, with many pursuing occupations as surgeons, morticians, and soldiers in addition to their holy duties. Adherents of this oath guide others through death, bridging the transition between the mortal and immortal worlds with holy reverence.
🐴🐭🦎 3 Brand-New Species 🐴🐭🦎
Varments are good-natured folk who take joy in the simple pleasures of frontier life. The first varments appeared following a cataclysmic industrial accident known as the Redrun where the waterways of the land choked with scarlet oil. More similar to awakened beasts than humanoids, varments are a young species already entering into its thirtieth generation.
😈 15 Western-themed Monsters 😈
The Sundersaur is a primordial fiend that binds itself to fossils that descend into the Hellish Range. These demons desire to bring desolation to the modern world and return it to the chaotic, “primordial” state before the dragons first appeared on the frontier.
🐎 7 New Mounts to Wrangle & Ride 🐎
Dracolts are draconic steeds adorned with black scales and flowing tendrils that have long been hailed as the fastest mounts on the frontier. These dragons can channel draconic breath through vents on their body to give them an incredible burst of speed.
🔫 20 New Frontier Firearms 🔫
The Legendary Revolver Blue Exile was wielded by the Archgunner Hezekiah Coen to banish the Demon Leader Hergovoil Orgave and the thirteen members of his demonic posse back to the Hellish Range of Coddard, Land of Cowards.
🧙♂️ 30 Weird & Wild Spells & Rituals 🧙♂️
For the spell-slingers of the frontier, spells like Steady are indispensable tools to have in the arcane holster when a Fireball is a more common greeting than "howdy".
🐲 We're Going to Be At Gen Con! 🐲
I am happy to announce that (thanks to our partner Role 4 Initiative) we are going to be at Gen Con from July 31st to August 4th! We will have more information in the upcoming weeks as we roll out the Pledge Manager and Playtest (both of which will go live beforehand), but we're super stoked to perhaps meet many of you and get to really start to build our posse out in the world!
If you backed us to get the bullet dice, leather bandolier, resin revolver, metal or enamel pins, or any of our miniatures, you can swing by and pick them up for no charge. That means for those of you who will be there, you can gain access to a few pieces of your pledge early. We will continue to offer this service for all backers at all conventions we attend, so that you all can get as many pieces of the frontier as possible to your homestead as quick as you can!
Also, one last thing pardner, don’t forget to join our Discord server to let your voice be heard on these playtests early and often! We're already at 150 members, and I'd love to get as many of you in there as possible! We'll have many upcoming polls where you can impact what we end up making! All of this gives you a chance to be a part of our humble homestead!

Our Both of our Stretch goals for more Wild Western Subclasses got reached! The Gunslinger's Guide to Rexfald will now come included with 36 Subclasses! As a thank you, we're throwing in ANOTHER SUBCLASS to show our appreciation for you wonderful people, bringing to total to 37!

Last Week Update: Project We Love, New Dragons, and a Bizarre New Addition to the Endless Frontier
11 months ago
– Thu, May 01, 2025 at 11:40:52 AM
Howdy everyone! The Gunslinger's Guide continues to grow with each passing day! The support has been amazing so I wanted to do a last-week recap as we head into our final days!
First off, WE GOT PROJECT WE LOVE! Big thanks to the people over at Kickstarter for supporting what we make! It's a big honor and something that we as a team always dreamed of having!
We're continuing to add in more and more awesome content to the Endless Frontier! I wanted to share a few things coming up here soon.
By popular request, we are including a 4th Monk subclass for absolutely free as a big Thank You to our backers! A Warrior of The Endless Spiral embraces the infinite wonders of the Endless Frontier and augments their attacks with this boundless energy of the world. These monks deflect attacks, levitate objects, and attack creatures from any distance through the use of Steel Balls filled with their Ki.
We're also including new monsters to the Endless Frontier as well. We're throwing in a full revolver of SIX DRAGONS to the already massive monster list as a bit of respect to frontier's most majestic creature.
The Armadillo Drake is a dragon-hided menace the size of a dire wolf that spends its days hunting down giant insects and scorpions. Their burrowing capabilities and magic-resistant hides make them constant pests within Bank Phylacteries, and prized hunts to Taxidermy Druids.
Also, we will be having some fun with the lead-up to end of campaign! In addition to our final-day livestream, we're also doing some fun stuff!
We'll be livestreaming a playthrough of The Holdouts with Nat Two Press - The Creators of Rainspourest Odyssey - on Friday at 4pm! Come check us out there and talk to us creators!
We are also hosting a Backer-led playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Sunday (May 4th), where backers can suggest challenges for the run! Come check that out over on our Discord and through our Youtube Channel!
Another great product from Elderbrain (of whom I loved the massive Crown of The Oathbreaker series) has struck gold again with their live campaign: Scepter of the Lightbringer. A 700+ page D&D 5e campaign, live now on Kickstarter, blending urban investigation with sandbox exploration. As a supernatural heatwave sparks chaos across the city of Drayl, players are drawn into a deadly struggle between a vampire-led underworld and the fanatical cultists of a fallen theocracy.
The massive world features three richly developed cities, hundreds of NPCs, encounters, and locations, plus new urban-themed dungeons, monsters, items, poisons, tools, subclasses, feats, and spells. It’s fully written, edited, and ready for quick fulfillment—including VTT support for Roll20 and FoundryVTT, free downloads, and an Elderbrain Soundscapes app.
A perfect supplement to Rexfald, this campaign we've shared before is over 2000% funded! Epic Journeys should make your travel across the Endless frontier all the more enjoyable! Go check out Epic Journeys and make your roaming of wide open ranges all the more enjoyable!
Their campaign ends soon so move fast! You won't want to miss this one!
