It's been a long time since a game has excited me this much! I listened to your interview on Yes Indie'd and I can't wait for the game to be publicly available :)
Is there any update on when we can expect it to be released?
I can't wait! I'm finishing up current campaigns and was looking for something that would give me a strong HELL YEAH, but despite having about 100 games on my list, nothing really resonated with me until I heard about Cosmic Dark :D
It sounds a bit Mothership / Death In Space-ish but much more in line with my play culture.
Is the version on Patreon a solid beta? Or is it practically the final version?
By the way, I'm curious what you think about Trophy Dark, which is heavily inspired by Cthulhu Dark? When I heard about Darkenwood, I immediately thought of Trophy :P
I'm releasing it gradually on Patreon, so there are scenarios there together (in a fairly final state) together with a beta version of the GM instructions.
I deeply enjoyed participating in the Raspy Raven playtest back in June, and tomorrow, I’m running Extraction for the first time, followed by a second running later in the week. I’m really looking forward to the book.
I ran it for two groups this week, the first a group of 3 and the second a group of 2. It went well both times, and the players all said they enjoyed the game and would like to play more.
I read the new scenario writing guidance a few hours after I ran the second game, and while I'll comment on it more soon, I found it quite useful as a guide to GMing Cosmic Dark as well as thinking about authoring scenarios.
Nothing felt rough, but that may have been the result of experiencing the scenario as a player during a playtest with you. I do have a couple of minor but spoiler-ish comments, so I'll post them over on Patreon under the Extraction post.

Thanks so much! I liked that interview.
It should be later this year, probably in the Autumn.

I haven't played Trophy, but I'd like to.

I can't recommend Trophy Dark enough. It's a brilliant game.

That's brilliant. Let me know how Extraction goes.

This is fantastic, thanks so much for running it. Did anything feel rough with the scenario you ran?
I'm glad the scenario-writing guidance is helpful. I'm looking forward to your feedback.

I love the sound of this game and will await it’s public release with bated breath!
