Yes, it’s true: We are designing and releasing new Snowboard Kids merch in 2020. This is maybe the best part—definitely the most fun part—about being able to get in touch with developers and publishers: We’re able to ask them if we can do merch for games like this that some of us just really liked when we were kids.
Our new Dead Cells shirt, “Revived” by Anäis Maamar, features our biggest front print in a while, along with this bonus back print. It’s on sale now at Fangamer.
Recently we’ve been able to launch two new designs from Ikuno Ohashi, our designer at Fangamer Japan, in our international store! We love her work and we’re excited to show more of it off next year.
The EarthBound Handbook is back in stock! Our tribute to the original EB player’s guide, it’s painstakingly, 100% in-universe, all the way to the end.
As a result, it may not be the most useful guidebook to EarthBound. But it definitely involved the most work. 270 full-color pages. This week I’ll be posting more of the newspapers—because that was our favorite part of the original guide, we did a ton of them.
As promised—four newspapers from our EarthBound Handbook, on sale now in digital and hardcover editions. A little background: I (the disembodied voice of our Tumblr) wrote most of the handbook; my favorite part of the player’s guide was the newspapers, so I knew I wanted to do as many of them as possible in our own handbook.
I also didn’t want to sound like myself over and over, so we (our designers, the other writers and me) and tried our best to make the newspapers all different. So Scaraba got a free shopping tabloid, Peaceful Rest Valley was written by an X-Files-style conspiracy buff who knew the Mr. Saturns were out there, Darkest Dungeon was a business glossy, and Moonside—well, it’s 100% bridge columns.
The names you see in the handbook are—unless they’re actual EarthBound characters—the names of Kickstarter backers who helped us fund the book back in 2014.
Today’s addition to our now very long EarthBound Handbook restock post—hey! the EarthBound Handbook is back in stock on Fangamer—is an ad that appears in the Winters section of the book for a very exciting new product from America’s favorite consumer electronics company and/or handsome inventor.

Im so happy! Stuff is absolutely stunning. Aquarelle art is beautiful, sound is beautiful. This is perfect.
Thank you Fangamer SO MUCH!
I love the photos! Kari did an unbelievable amount of work on all the art, and our vinyl release supervisor here listened to all four records over and over to make sure everything sounded right.
