Dearest Adventurers,
There's a special kind of magic in stories about small creatures and gentle adventures. It's the magic of the Hundred Acre Wood, where nothing is too urgent, friendship matters more than glory, and the greatest adventures often involve finding your way home.
Let's talk about where Brambletrek 2 is on that journey.
🐭 The PDF: Delivered and Waiting
The Brambletrek 2 Core Rulebook PDF is in backers' hands, and it has become the biggest Winnie-the-Pooh-inspired RPG created to date. It's filled with cozy adventures, whimsical encounters, and that gentle spirit of exploration that makes the Hundred Acre Wood feel like home.
If you haven't explored it yet, we hope you'll find time to wander its pages. There's comfort and friendship there, and the kind of adventures that don't need to shake the world to matter.
Physical copies are entering the sampling phase soon. Once we approve the samples, you'll know exactly when these books will arrive on your doorstep, ready to live on your shelf and invite you back to the woods whenever you need that gentle escape.
🏠 The Starter Set: A New Path
We would also like to update you on the progress of the Brambletrek Starter Set designed for group adventures.
As things stand, we are in the process of figuring out the best way for it to work mechanically. Our initial design used cards, which created some lovely and unique moments. However, at the table, we found that this sometimes slowed things down with shuffling and manipulation. For a game that's meant to flow like a lazy river, that friction matters.
Accessibility is our north star here. We want this Starter Set to welcome everyone, from experienced gamers to complete newcomers, those who can shuffle cards easily to those for whom that's a barrier.
So we're exploring: Cards? Dice? A hybrid system? Something else entirely? We're in that beautiful, uncertain space where we're not quite sure yet, but we're committed to finding the answer that serves the game and its players best.
Playtesting begins in 2026. We'll take the time we need to get this right, because rushing would betray the very spirit of what Brambletrek represents.
🌱 Seeds for the Future
More Brambletrek 2 content is coming in 2026! There will be new places to explore, new friends to meet and new adventures to experience.
It's just thoughts right now, whispers of what might be. But we wanted you to know that the Hundred Acre Wood will continue to grow, and there are plenty more paths ahead.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support lets us create spaces of comfort and warmth in game form, and that's a gift we don't take lightly.
Until next time, may your adventures be cozy and your tea always warm,
