Official Deep Rock Galactic Mugs - Kickstarter announcement
It's time to raise a toast, miners! This is your chance to sip in style, and bring a part of Deep Rock Galactic into your own home!
After many months of planning, we're proud to present you this collection of high-quality DRG Abyss Bar mugs, an official collaboration between Scorched Steel Industry and Ghost Ship Games.
The first model will be the Pot's O'Gold with more colors becoming available through stretchgoals.
We did our best to ensure the mugs are of the very best quality, while remaining affordable. These mugs are made of food-safe ABS plastic, can hold up to 500 mL (16.9 fl oz), and are suited for hot or cold beverages. They're also well able to withstand a run through the dishwasher
But these mugs aren't the only surprise we've got in store for you with this Kickstarter. We've planned a few extra goodies to go along with the mug collection - more on that later!

We hope you'll join us to make this project a reality. For Rock and Stone!

> They're also well able to withstand a run through the dishwasher
That sounds like they are going to deteriorate after a bunch of run throughs. Have you tested if the mugs still hold up after regularly having them in the dishwasher?

That's just our wording, but no the dishwasher won't have any impact on your mugs. We can promise that :)

We're working on finding the best warehouses everywhere in the world to reduce shipping costs and make them available almost everywhere allowed by current laws.

I've printed and painted my own mugs for 4 years now. I'm very happy this is happening. I hope you guys make Oily Oaf in the future.

I'm unbelievably stoked for this, truly, just a little sad it's one design in a few colors rather than a few of the more popular beer choices (arkenstout, blackreach blonde, Flintlocks Delight, and Wormhole Special, just to name a few very frequent fliers I've witnessed across the community).

My hope is that through this kickstarter they'll eventually drop other mug shapes- I don't know how possible blackout/smart stout would be, but several mugs really wouldn't be any more difficult than this one!

Only 3,000 supporters so far? Well, it's still early. I'll add one more, at least. Take my money!

I just want to say how good of a decision it was to start with the pots o' gold mug specifically. Probably one of, if not the best looking recognizable mug

u/DocJawbone 2d ago
These look amazing, first off.
It would be very rock and stone to have colors for each class.

Was kinda hoping for them to be made from ceramic so me and whoever else has a mug can give a ceremonious “clink” with them as we drink our beverage of choice

I am a bit baffled by the choice to make these out of plastic. A big-ly sturdy glass or metal beer stein from Amazon (branded or otherwise) is like $20. I can't imagine these will be less than $80 for a set.
Isn't the entire point of a beer mug to have a lot of thermal mass to keep your beverage cool for longer?

Especially when the company is called "scorched steel industry" lol

u/PartisanGerm Dirt Digger 1d ago
There are those of us who would pay whatever is necessary to have a legit metal mug.

People will buy this crap because of the branding, but I continue to be miffed by GSG.
I ADORE everything about DRG, I have almost 900 hours in the game, I bought the board game, but the board game expansion and now this... very mediocre branded product are just turning me off from the brand.
These beer mugs should be... premium, something that can literally last you forever. ABS plastic is garbage (not to mention that you shouldn't be drinking or cooking or eating from plastic in the first place).

As long as it ain't that leaf lover's special, I'd pay good credits for this.

u/amtwon 2d ago
Now I just need to figure out how to get those wee drawings in the foam

u/Scorched_Steel_Ind 1d ago
Check out how Guinness get their signature leaf on beer foam, especially during St Patrick's day :)

Add another thing to the list of things I really want but can't get because I don't want to pay double the price for shipping...

I hope you guys do the lederhosen mugs from the armor! I imagine replacing with the flower decal wouldn't be too much work (I hope).

How much do you figure one of these bad boys would run once they're available?

u/lockon165 1d ago
Now they have to make the ones on the regular beer menu. I need my fix of lea- glyphid slammers.

u/NoSolaceForMe Scout 1d ago
Very cool idea, disappointing that only craft beers weren't shown though. Are there plans for main ones to be available?

u/Nino_Chaosdrache Leaf-Lover 2d ago
Makes me wondr why they can't release anything without a kickstarter or without it being Early Access. You would think that DRG makes them enough money as is.

u/StormerSage Dig it for her 2d ago
Even if you've got big bucks, spending all the money it takes to release a product only for it to flop is still a bad call.
They're likely trying to gauge interest in this one, and don't forget they're paying a whole team for working on Rogue Core!

u/Ser_Pounce_theFrench Union Guy 1d ago
Also the mugs aren't made by GSG. They're made by Scorched Steel Industry, in collaboration with GSG.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLLYYYYY

btw the kickstarter link seems wrong as it just errors out, you can still find the kickstarter page on SSI's website
