It appears as though a wormhole ate our 9/29 company update. Our 10/6 update just went live for our paid patrons, which means that it will be out as a free post on 10/13 at 6PM.

Our latest adventure is now available for free on our website. Our paid patrons have had access to it since 9/26 and, if you would like access to content early, plus additional content, now is a fantastic time to get signed up, as we have so much cool content coming down the pipeline and well into 2026.

Have questions? Great! We'll be hanging out at an event we're calling the Ghostly Gala on October 25th from 5 - 7:30 PM. Join us, a live musical guest, other game creators, and artists from all around Grand Rapids as we celebrate the creepy season!

We're gearing up for Ghostly Gala, which is now a registered 501c3 to bring artists, game creators, and the general public together, and hunting down some final vendors. Know anyone interested? Send them our way. We're just about full for the year, but we're already thinking through how we can improve the process more next year and how to better promote our attending vendors.

Two names we've already announced are:

Steven Schwall and https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083105097954. More name drops will be coming, as well as more information on these two and our other vendors. We're getting official social media schedules put together and hoping to make the entire month of October, leading up to the event, one large hype train.

If you're not following the Ghostly Gala account, we highly encourage you to as more information will be coming from there, rather than from here.

Thanks so much for the support and, if you're not already, give us a follow on the free tier of our Patreon page, or send a few dollars our way. We'd sincerely appreciate it and you'll have quicker access to our weekly company updates and slightly more content than we release to the free tier.

Goodman Games has a treasure trove of Appendix N information that is helpful to both novices in tabletop gaming and masters of the craft alike.

Want to know more about this “Appendix N?” Check out their site. It’s seriously good stuff and well organized.

Want to see how we’ve applied our own readings of Appendix N (and other) materials? Check out our page and drop us a like, a share, or follow us on our free Patreon tier.

We’d love to hear from you. Happy gaming, this weekend!

"So you’re new to DCC RPG and you might have heard that this game is heavily influenced by the Appendix N. Well what is the Appendix N? The quick answer is that it is the list of the books and authors that Gary Gygax, co-creator of D&D, said that we should check out for inspiration for our gaming."

Our weekly company update is now live for our paying patron members.

Not a paid member? No worries, you'll see last week's update, for free, starting today.

Want an active role in what we're working on from week to week? Check us out on Discord - https://discord.gg/QzEYVucrr3 - or Patreon - www.patreon.com/c/shatteredlabspress .

We're a bit on the goofy side even though our content aims to creep out and focus on the horror of the scenarios we write for various games.

Want to meet us in person? You're in luck! We have a live event called Ghostly Gala that's taking place on October 25th. Give that profile a follow for the latest information.

GrandCon Gaming Convention was an epic time, as always. Huge shout out to the organizers, volunteers, and booth attendants and everyone who make days like these happen.

We’ll be live and in person, again, on October 25th for our Ghostly Gala.

- Local Artists and Game vendors
- Live Gaming (Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium Inc. & Magic Beasts Boardgame Design development Group showing off their latest prototype)
- Live music from the mystical and fantastical Pastor Hastur
- Food and Drink for sale by Giggles & Gourmets
- Come in a costume!

Our website is actively being updated with content, as we finalize our vendors and where they’ll be positioned. However, the very basics can already be found at https://www.ghostly-gala.com. Reach out with any questions or concerns!

The second part of our three part adventure releases today at 5PM for our paying patrons (https://www.patreon.com/Shattered_Labs_Press.)

If you're not a paying patron, don't fret, you'll get access to the adventure, minus the author's notes, on 9/2/25.

Thank you to all of our paying members. We sincerely appreciate the support and the caffeine habits that you enable.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for more information on our Ghostly Gala event. We have the basics posted at https://www.ghostly-gala.com, but more details, like who will be making appearances and what sort of entertainment you can expect, will be added to the site throughout September.

Our latest company update is going out at 6PM, tonight. Paying patrons, of all tiers, will have immediate access to the inside workings of the labs.

However, if you're not yet a paying member, don't worry. You can still read our update a week after it comes out.

Spoiler alert: Our first live event is scheduled for 10/25/25 from 5 to 7:30PM! We are beyond excited and our Chief Content Creator is currently in the panic room breathing into a paper bag while repeating the phrase: "The Gala of Ghosts with Giggling Gourmets will succeed."

It's quite the tongue twister.

We sincerely hope to see you there, at Giggles & Gourmets. If not, we understand, but we'll be pouting for a few days.

Our patrons should also keep an eye out, on Friday, for our latest adventure! The second of three parts. It will release to the public on 9/1.

You can find all our Patreon content over here: https://www.patreon.com/Shattered_Labs_Press

Thanks for following along!

Somehow, we failed to announce our latest blog post going live.

If you're into one page RPGs, we have a treat for you. This is a one pager we think you'll get a kick out of, especially if you're into music. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Next month's post will be a continuation of our three part series.

Our twelfth Dungeon Packer is likely our silliest, aside from our April post. Even though it’s August, we decided to release a game about September and bands and venues and making projects work that, for most people, would only be a pipe dream. Shoot for stardom and, if all else fails, you’ll st...

Patreon's status post from last week has gone live. There's a lot going on over in the labs.

Our paying patrons can expect a new post to go out shortly but, in the meantime, we are pleased to be able to release our big monthly post for free.

https://www.shatteredlabspress.com/dungeon-packers-blog/dp12-september-in-august

Shoot for stardom and, if all else fails, at least you’ll still be human.

Have you given one of our games a try? Let us know what you think over at [email protected], via Facebook, or however you like to reach out to your favorite companies.

Happy gaming!
