The official Kickstarter for the Neopets Tabletop RPG by Geekify will be closing on Sunday, August 11th at 10:09 AM NST (yes, that's the advertised closing time).
The Neopets Tabletop RPG will include a core rulebook, as well as a campaign guidebook that walks game masters and players through the story of the Fall of Faerieland, based on the Faeries' Ruin plot. The game uses a d20 system based on Dungeons & Dragons, but you can expect to see major modifications to make it feel much more Neopian.
The Kickstarter launched last month and was fully funded within six hours. You can still back the project, though! Several stretch goals are planned for various milestones above the initial funding goal. If you miss the Kickstarter deadline, all items will be available for purchase on the Geekify website when completed. Once the Kickstarter closes, the team will receive the funding and begin the last months of production work, editing, and play testing. The game is currently planned to begin shipping in June 2025.
At time of posting, the following stretch goals are already unlocked:
- more versatile PDF versions
- themed character sheets
- faux leather gilded hardback covers
- art print postcards, and
- an extra module for the Roo Island world guide.
Exclusive Avatar: Also announced today on the Kickstarter page and on Geekify social media, everyone who pledges at least $1 in the Kickstarter will receive a Rare Item Code redeemable for an exclusive avatar on Neopets.com.
If you plan on pledging for the avatar, make sure you select the "Pledge $1" option under "Available Rewards"! We've been told that anyone who pledges will receive the avatar, even if you select the "Pledge Without Reward" option, but better safe than sorry!
An update from Geekify regarding the Rare Item Codes:
Some clarification for Neopians interested in the [Rare Item Codes]!
The $1 tier will give access to a special Kickstarter Avatar (and you can also upgrade your pledge tier later).
The physical reward tiers of the books will gave access to unique in-game items, while the individual add-ons will be a random item from a prize pool.
Avatar codes will be delivered at some point in the future—TNT still needs to create the avatar and generate the Rare Item Codes, and then Geekify will deliver them to all pledges.
UPDATE, August 7th: Geekify posted one more update regarding the avatar. It will be granted by interacting with a special item that you receive from the Rare Item Code:
This will be an in-game item that grants you the Avatar when you interact with it.

This is subject to possible change, but this is the information we're working with and what seems likely.
