Seventy-eight declassified contact reports. Four cryptid populations. One civil-defense program that officially never happened. The Wildwood Field Set is the complete archive, reissued as a physical deck, a field dossier, and a bridge to the live game.
Digital archive ships instantly · Physical kits ship 7 days to 8 weeks depending on tier
Play as a guest in the alpha build — no account, no email, nothing to install. Progress is wiped when the live game launches. Rough edges expected; you're stepping into a working dev environment.
The atomic tests were classified. What crawled out of them wasn't. Within forty-eight hours, the U.S. Forest Service — working under Civil Defense liaison — opened a program to catalog, contain, and negotiate with the populations that had stopped hiding.
Over six years, Wildwood field agents documented four distinct factions. The program was quietly wound down in 1961. Its files were sealed. Its agents were retired. The populations continued to exist — and continued to hide behind what field operators called the Veil of Fog.
The Veil held for seventy years. Then it didn't. The live Sasquatch Wars picks up the story in the present. The Field Set in your hands is the prehistory.
The physical Field Set includes Founding Chieftain status in the live Sasquatch Wars MMO — a permanent identity, physical-buyers-only, forever. No code to redeem. The email you use at checkout is your credential on launch day.
The 121-page Field Dossier. Every card face, upright and reversed meanings, faction lore, operator briefings. Delivered by email the moment payment clears.
No Founding Chieftain status — digital only.

When the live Sasquatch Wars MMO opens to the public, every Field Set buyer automatically receives Founding Chieftain status — a permanent in-game identity that can never be purchased later, for any amount of money.
Use an email you'll remember in 4–8 weeks. The email on your physical-tier purchase is the email that unlocks Founding Chieftain in the live game. Typos, lost inboxes, and gift purchases can be transferred by contacting support.
Want to try the game first? Play the alpha as a guest — no signup, no email required. Your guest progress is separate from Founding Chieftain and gets wiped at launch.
The Wildwood Field Set is the inaugural release from Wildwood Games — an independent imprint publishing tabletop, digital, and archival games. Founded and run by Gina Cox in Altoona, Iowa.
Two ongoing transmissions from the field. One arrives in your inbox. The other arrives in your mailbox. Both optional, both cancelable anytime, neither required to play.
A monthly field report — lore fragments, declassified pages, behind-the-art process, and early looks at unreleased cards. Delivered by email. No mail, no shipping, no physical goods.
Everything in Signal Intercepts, plus a quarterly envelope sent to your mailbox — stickers, printed dossier pages, sometimes a promo card or token. Small, hand-packed, analog. US only. Free US shipping included.
Dispatches are independent of editions. You do not need a subscription to play, to unlock Founding Chieftain, or to own anything. This is for the ones who want the slow drip.
Two editions are live. Witness is the digital field dossier PDF — ships instantly by email. Field Set is the complete physical archive — ships in 7–14 days via print-on-demand from The Game Crafter. Expansion packs are planned for late 2026.
When the live Sasquatch Wars MMO opens to the public, the email you used to buy your physical Field Set becomes your Founding Chieftain credential. Register your MMO account with that email and your bundle auto-grants. No code, no redemption page — the email is the credential. Use an email you'll remember in 4–8 weeks.
Public distribution is pending final certification. The preview world is open now at sandbox.sasquatchwars.com — guest login, no signup. Progress created in preview will be wiped at launch. Realistic launch window is mid-May to mid-June 2026.
Go to sandbox.sasquatchwars.com and click “Play as Guest.” You'll be in the game in about five seconds — no account creation, no email, nothing to install. Works on desktop and mobile browsers. Your progress in the alpha is isolated to your browser session and gets wiped when the live game launches.
Yes. Use any email you want at checkout, then email support@sasquatchwars.com with the order ID and the recipient's email — we'll transfer the Founding Chieftain credential to them before launch. A self-service transfer page is in the works.

The art is directed, composed, and finished by Gina using a locked style bible. Generative tools are part of the painting pipeline; every card is reviewed, corrected, and signed off by hand. The style bible, card meanings, faction lore, and design are 100% original IP of Gina Cox.
Not at launch. All physical tiers are US-only for now, with free shipping included in the price. International expansion is on the roadmap — subscribe to Dispatches below and you'll be first to hear when it opens.
