I already have the Black Cube. How is Indigo different?
Invisible Sun: Indigo is not a new edition of Invisible Sun. It does not include any content that isn’t in the Black Cube. It’s simply a new format for the game. It’s a less deluxe version of the game than the Black Cube, omitting physical elements like the Testament of Suns (available now as an add-on) but delivering the full essence of the game, and all its content, to new players. Other differences include:
• The corebooks are softcover • The Path of Suns is a playmat, rather than a game board • Some items have been reformatted to more conventional dimensions (the character tomes, for example, are now compatible with standard printer paper)
Why these changes? The Black Cube is an expensive product. It’s too expensive for us to keep it in print; we’ve only been able to produce it in limited runs that sell out fairly quickly. And it’s too expensive for many gamers to purchase, despite its incredible value relative to its price. It’s a wonderful game that we’re very proud of, but its physical complexity limits its audience. Indigo opens Invisible Sun to a wider audience by offering all the content in a simpler presentation. It includes all of the books and cards, along with the other elements necessary for play.
If you already have the Black Cube, you do not need Invisible Sun: Indigo. If you don’t, Indigo is your doorway into the Actuality!

How does the Discord bot work?
If you use Discord to communicate with your gaming group, you’ll find it’s wonderful for Development Mode play in Invisible Sun. The bot facilitates that by giving you access to the Sooth Deck anywhere you can access Discord. It’s easy to install and use:
• You must be an administrator for the Discord server. • Installing the bot takes only a minute. You don’t need to be an Discord expert; it just takes a couple of clicks. • Once it’s installed, simply type /sooth in your game’s channel, and it will randomly draw a Sooth card and display it there in the channel. You can click through for the card’s text and details.

I don't live in the US. Can I get Invisible Sun without paying for tariffs?
Our products are shipped to backers from three fulfillment centers: our US warehouse and partners in the UK and Australia. Generally, our products are shipped directly to those locations from the factory—so if they’re manufactured outside the US, items headed to the UK/EU and Australia are not subject to US tariffs.
However, to reduce the impact of tariffs, Invisible Sun: Indigo will likely be assembled in the United States with components made in a variety of locations. (See the campaign page for more details.) Because of this, Indigo will not have a different price in different territories. Rest assured, however, that we are doing everything possible to minimize the impact tariffs—and should tariffs be reduced or rescinded before production of Invisible Sun completes, we will give you back some of that cost in the form of MCG store credit. (Again, see the What About Tariffs section on the main page for more info.)

Roll20 and Alchemy are fine, but what about MY favorite VTT?
Setting up full support for an RPG–particularly a game with a lot of mechanical subsystems and components–is a resource-intensive undertaking. At this point, we have the capability to support a limited number of platforms. We’re looking into more options, though, including Foundry, and maybe it’s something we can explore through this campaign!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
Rewards: To receive your reward(s), you must follow the steps we've outlined for you and to which you agreed through the pledge manager survey. If you need a refresher on reward fulfillment, please check out and bookmark this guide: How to Claim Your Crowdfunding Rewards. We guarantee that your crowdfunding reward will be available for you to redeem for up to one year beyond its release date.
Privacy: MCG values privacy—our own and yours. We use modern tools to garner analytics, provide website functionality, and communicate with you about things you need to know (crowdfunding redemptions, for example) or that you might be interested in (such as announcements of new games). We don’t sell your data to anyone else, and you can opt out of those communications if you wish. That’s our position in a nutshell, but you can read our complete and official Privacy Policy for all the details.
