Grimwild RPG: Crowdfunded Success Stalls After Designer Disappears
Grimwild looked like a rare crowdfunding success: $87,000 raised, a free edition released, a full PDF delivered, and even a Gold ENNIE Award in 2025. Yet its designer, J.D. Maxwell, has disappeared, leaving the hardcover release stalled despite the game being finished. With printing on hold indefinitely, backers are left wondering if they will ever see the books they paid for.
