The epic conclusion to one of the largest board games ever created is now available for preorder!
After years of development, we're finally on the cusp of production.
As we’ve said before, we've decided that we just want to make games, not manage them. So outside of conventions and a very small inventory of product on our webstore, we won't be warehousing surplus like we have been.
This preorder will be your best chance to get what you need from our last Kickstarter before we're essentially sold out upon delivery.
All sales open until November 5th!
Don’t miss out on your last opportunity to preorder Unintentional Malum: Act 2 and Act 3 before we go into production next month!
Everything from the webstore is featured on this Backerkit preorder and is 20%+ off!

With over half a million words, the story of Unintentional Malum spans an epic narrative meant to be played once a week with your favorite group of friends, or solo! As you experience over 100 encounters, you'll gain new items, kill new monsters, level up, and see the culmination of your efforts. The ramifications of your decisions and the outcome of your battles throughout the Adventure will slowly change the narrative as you struggle to save your family's kingdom and the people you love.
Middara sets itself apart from other dungeon crawls with beautiful artwork and a vibrant modern alternate world fantasy setting. We've purposely forgone orcs and goblins and decided to create brand new creatures in lieu of more common traditional offerings. Modern day Earth exists alongside our fantasy world, and our character design contains a modern flair with a heavy seasoning of both western and eastern fantasy tropes.
One character—limitless possibilities!
We've done away with the concept of classes. In Middara you use a unique combination of abilities we call Disciplines to create the type of character you want. Combined with our no-item-restriction design means that Middara contains near limitless customization. Create anything from a nimble healer who dual wields Katars, to a blood mage who wears full plate and crushes his enemies with a huge warhammer as he summons creatures from another dimension to flank his foes.
The entirety of Unintentional Malum has been made into an audioplay. Using the Forteller App, sit back and listen to the entire narrative with your gaming group.
Act 1 i accounts for over an insane 200k words.
Act 2 and 3 will both have a premium option available upon delivery. The premium audio is recorded by a cast of talented voice actors.
The audio for Middara has been made possible by the wonderful folks over at Forteller Games .

Middara draws its inspiration from traditional tabletop RPGs and war games. We pride ourselves on tactical dice-driven combat that rewards players for quick thinking, good tactics, and planning ahead.
In Middara, engagements are fast, intense, and dangerous. Gone are simple characters who can only move and attack. Character builds are deep and involved, with experience and gear adding utility rather than just bigger numbers. Make the most of your turns by utilizing an action point system for big turns, lots of movement, multiple attacks, and an incredible amount of variety.
Unintentional Malum (all three acts) contains 64 unique pieces of artwork on tiles with a 6x6 inch grid. Using these tiles, players are able to create a plethora of unique locations.
From forests, to dungeons, to ancient libraries, our modular tile system provides a blend of unique possible locals while still providing maximum customization to each specific location.
Each one of our beautiful tiles is a labor of love.
Combined with tons of terrain tokens, the sheer number of possibilities these tiles provide us as designers means that you won’t see the same dungeon twice! With so many variables in our tiles, and given their one inch grid, these tiles can and will be used for role playing games!
For those looking for larger fixed locations, Unintentional Malum Act 2 and 3 contain a myriad of 19x12 inch Sheets. These large set pieces flesh our world out and add weight to heavy narrative moments where modularity isn’t the stronger choice.
These sheets are a perfect addition to your fantasy role playing game!
For those who don't want to commit to our long adventures, we've included the Crawl Mode. This ever expanding mode of play provides you with a more traditional dungeon crawling experience. In a single night, you can kill monsters, get loot, and level up!
Leveling is faster, performance during encounters has less long term ramifications, and items and gold come easier and quicker. This mode is perfect for one-night experiences with people who have never played or don't plan on being able to dedicate the time for Adventure Mode.
Good question! Check this unboxing video by Shea Parker at RTFM!
We believe in constantly improving Middara. This game has become a huge part of our lives and all those who have worked on it. Middara is ever evolving and growing based on feedback we get from our customers and from content-creators.
Together, our passionate fans and supporters have constantly helped forge Middara into the best game that it can be. We believe strongly in cultivating a community and working alongside those who are playing the game.
You can find templates for creating your own content, lore, our ever expanding patch notes, errata, print and play content, and many other freebies hosted on our website. The entirety of Unintentional Malum: Act 1 is hosted (by us) on Tabletop Simulator for free.
Meanwhile, Unintentional Malum: Act 2 and 3, and nearly every product we release, is also released onto Tabletop Simulator for playtesting, feedback, and for those who don’t otherwise have the opportunity to play with the people they love in person.
This transparency is the only way Middara can become everything we know it can be. For this reason, you can expect us to provide templates to make your own cards, lore, and an ever expanding collection of patch notes and print-and-play content all for free under the download section on our website.
Builds, discussion, mechanics, rule questions, and simply bullshitting—join our discord server and come hang out with the creators of the game and those playing it.
If you’re interested in some serious gritty gritty discussion or want to be a part of this madness officially and get yourself in the credits of a book we print, go ahead and DM an Admin and we’ll get you access to the beta channel with all spreadsheets, numbers, raw pdf files, patch notes, and unfinished product with spelling errors.
You can take a look at the change log we posted last night—that’s just what the community reported. You people are animals! We had over 1000 lines of feedback from our community members. So don’t get it twisted, a few of those changelog notes were a ton of work to implement. This is what makes a good game a great game.
We’ve thrown together a guide for those wondering how everything works together and which products do what.
Go ahead and check it out the PDF here for a rundown on the different types of expansions and product for Middara.
So you have it all huh? Well, we have six tantalizing new products new to this preorder.
Playtested, completed, and demoed at Gen Con!
Solve the mystery of a disappearing merchant caravan in this thrilling bounty pack! Venture south of Elenia in search of answers. Discover the fate of those who plumb too deep into nature's sacred places. This Mundane level bounty makes a great addition to your playthrough of Middara: Unintentional Mallum; or enjoy it as a thrilling mini-adventure.
Includes new dangers and epic loot waiting for you off the edge of civilization's map. Will you brave the fury of nature?
Lo-fi Nightingale is in plastic! This beautiful alternate art sculpt comes with brand new items that can be added to your game!
Finally, our Lupercalia Resin Kits are available in plastic! Each one of these Plastic Kits adds additional summons available for players to bring to the table using the Assemblage Discipline Tree.
Through decadence and debauchery these lustful figures can be called from the depths of Earth’s history. Espers made manifest only through esoteric quiet whispers shared amongst the elite.
Such coveted creatures are called upon for far more than combat. Yet, their true names and seals are clutched closely to the hearts of those who covet them most. Jealousy worms its way into the heart, and rots at the soul of those who know these secret combinations.
Those lucky few able to overhear their betters slip such forbidden knowledge during inebriated tales of past forays find themselves more than excited to let their soul wear away at the chance to even behold such monstrosities.
Playtested, completed, and ready to print!
Kill monsters, get loot, and level up.... in a bikini.
Vestalia has also been combined into one cheeky plastic box set! This product contains new items, fun alternate sculpts of the entire existing cast of Adventurers, and a promotional Nyx playable in the Crawl Mode!

Another Resin Set is now available in plastic!
Education serves an important role in the world of Middara. One foot through the portal, and your body’s different, you might have crazy new powers, and all the animals want to kill you. The Kingdom of Elenia, where Unintentional Malum takes place, has an Institute system in place to educate new arrivals, so they can become productive members of society instead of greasy red stains on the wall.
Everyone has to make it through the Institute, including the heroes of our story. We see only a brief snapshot of this moment at the beginning of UM:1. Now we’ve created some awesome minis and items to explore the Institute with a little more depth.
Our newest printing of Middara comes in a huge box with some beautiful inserts. This helps keep the contents safe, organized, and looking sick as heck on your shelf.
Some of you have wanted to get your hands on this bigger box and inserts for your vintage games. We’re offering this box and its inserts for a limited time. You take a closer look at this box in the video below.
*Note: Due to minimum manufacturing numbers and the fact this box is very cost prohibitive, we will only be moving forward with printing this box once we’ve hit a minimum order amount. If we do not hit this minimum order we will be refunding everyone’s purchase of this box. Upon the completion of this event we will let everyone know if there was enough of a demand to make this a reality.
We love fashion, design, and art. It’s something in our blood. Many of the things we surround ourselves with are labors of love born out of a desire to create, not just sell.
We’ve had so many people ask us about the shirts we wear at conventions that we decided to do a run of them for Gencon—we ran out immediately. We’re gearing up for another set of shirts. These ones will be made to order, so if you’re interested, now is the time.
Succubus Publishing hails from the capital of cults, Salt Lake City. In the late hours of the new moon, the hegemony meets under clandestine circumstances. We move against a malevolent tide, working to stay ahead of our enemies, collar our allies, and stay weary of the unaligned.
Within the depths of our city, behind doors hidden in plain sight, we gather using secret combinations. It is here, in these obscure locations that we try our hardest to do everything we can to avoid keeping sweet.
Our incense is not a simple concoction made by hippies looking to smell nice. It is a complex alchemical process made by real witches and warlocks that have embarked on their own chosen paths that take them to the fringes of our society.
Take heed, and understand the truth. We imbue every stick with intent, soul, and magic. Whether you seek the ultimate union or to dissolve and precipitate, this hand crafted local incense will invoke the necessary qualities of the mind, body, and spirit to achieve your goals.
Quod est superius est sicut quod inferius, et quod inferius est sicut quod est superius.
This was posted last year. We thought you'd enjoy seeing it again in light of Act 2 and 3 being finished. Below you can get an idea of the sheer amount of madness it took to create this game.
Decisions, options, choice, and meaningful consequences are what make a role playing game react to player performance and give them agency. Middara Unintentional Malum is a massive story. But it's just a sliver of the world we’re building. As we’ve continued our journey as designers, writers, and creators, we’ve refined and honed our skills. This in turn has brought in the scope of our games and focused us in ways that have allowed us to finish projects. Even so, the breadth of our vision for Middara as a world, Idea, and Setting has been ever-growing.
Each box represents sections of our rule book, Story Rounds, Adventure Mechanics, Choices the players can make, Flags, and Paths players can find themselves on while playing through our story. We lay these boxes out in a chronological order using software to give ourselves a visual aid to navigate our products and their interactions. Our Flowcharts are used by our writers, designers, editing teams, and business partners to determine how and where things need to get done when creating Middara products.
This expansion concludes Nightingale’s story arc, plants seeds for future stories (already written), and provides a plethora of new features to expand and enhance your Middara experience!
The amount of content is too large for this update. But we’ll catch you this weekend with an update that covers the features of Act 2 and 3 in detail.
In the meantime, check out the size of these Adventure Books!
