Hola amigos! This is just a quick update to give you all a friendly reminder that your orders on Backerkit will be locked down this month, and that we'll be charging your credit cards for any extra add-ons and pre-orders remaining.
We are talking numbers with the printer and getting ready the deal with them for the printrun, therefore we need to lock the orders to have the final number of books—hardcovers, softcovers, and supplements.
This means your rewards will be locked down on the 20th and you will be charged around the 22nd of July.
If you haven’t filled out your Backerkit, please do so! We need you to fill it out so we know what add-ons you want. If you need to make any last minute changes like updating your shipping address, you’ll be able to do so within the Backerkit system. (If you’ve already filled out your Backerkit, you’re totally set!)
You can login to your Backerkit with your Kickstarter email here:
We are still working hard on the development—making sure the game is as close to perfect as we can achieve. Long nights await, but be sure we are excited to push this game to its fullest potential.
Thank you so much as always for your support!
Y a Dios rogando y con el mazo dando!

Hello there! It's been a while since I've shared with you an update. Sorry about that, I've been pretty bussy with regular work and also with develoment of Nahual. I'm working through the new playbooks and working with Clement on some concepts for the Bestiary. And some great stuff is cooking!
This phase is hard because there is not much to show as the design and writing process requires many iterations, and I rather share with you something solid and revised, instead of putting out things that will ultimately be different. I thank you in advance for your patience.
What I can show you is some of the new original art that Clement has been doing for the game, first I present you some of the playbooks art, the Águila (Eagle), the Serpiente (Snake), and the Venado (Deer).
Next, here goes a sneak peek to some of the critters for the Bestiary, to be included in the Dream Wars supplement. First is the Hand with Eyes, a deadly sicario that—in order to become the deadliest assassin—made a pact with an archangel that changed him into his current form.
Next I present Itzpapalotl, the Obsidian Butterfly. A powerful and bloodthirty tzitzimitl with wings made of obsidian blades.
And finally, the little and adorable creature known as the Devil's Lode. This cute beast is always hungry, and the thing is: he poops gold nuggets! So of course you want to feed him. But becarful, as the creature eats he grows, and his hunger with him. So watch out your greed or you may end up as his next meal.
Many of you have already answered your Backerkit survey, thank you so much! A very few haven't though, and we'll start sending reminders (Backerkit already) and trying to reach people individually to make sure they are not getting the survey in their junk mail. So, if you haven't answer your survey, please keep an eye out for it.

Gracias again to all of you for your patience and for making Nahual a real thing (sometimes I still can't believe it and feel I'm gonna wake up any moment from this beautiful dream). But you did it, and I can't thank you all enough! Abrazos!
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season, and I wish you all the best for this brand new year. I wouldn't say that publishing Nahual is my 2019 resolution, because it is a compromise instead, so that is happening no matter what! Instead I wanna share with you some other stuff that I consider propósitos de año nuevo. But first things first...
First of all, an appology about not having the Backerkit set up yet, the holiday season got in the way, and Backerkit staff actually took some time off. We've already configured some things, but there's a lot of tools to learn and manage (it is actually a great toolset, super complete!). So we rather take our time and do things right, and will let you know as soon as it's ready. In the meantime I've been playtesting and gathering some feedback to prepare the next itteration of the Quickstart, which is ready by the way!
A version 2.0 of the Quickstart is ready for you backers to download. The same link is still the one to go, so head back to the very first update titled Nahuales are Unleashed! and use that same link.
For Spanish speakers: I had to pospone the Spanish version, precisely because of the changes that were to be included in the v2.0. I'm working on finishing the Spanish Quickstart and I'll let you once it's ready ot download.
Many of the work I did on the Quickstart came from playing the game online with Warius, Kosmo, Mike and CyMorgan. This small series of Nahual was a blast, for those of you who understand Spanish go check it out, and also check Warius' Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/elwarius) he has some awesome D&D AP in Spanish too.
One of the so called resolutions for this year is setting up my publishing company: Smoking Mirror Games. With Nahual as one of the first line of products of course, but also with some other things, other personal projects and some licensing for translating RPGs into Spanish.
One of the first things I'm doing is a Discord server. Now that G+ is doomed to irse a la chingada, I want a place where I can keep people up to date on my projects as well as answer questions and in general create a community. Please if you are interested join us here: https://discord.gg/cm6aA2a and spread the word.
I will also be setting up the website for Smoking Mirror Games and sharing it as soon as it is ready. And there's much more things I wanna do. But I'll talk about those in due time, porque luego se ceban!
Cheers and Feliz Año!
