48 Hours To Go!

Suffice to say I'm pretty blown away with the last (not even) 24 hours of Mothership Month activity.
The Dose Makes The Poison funded in under an hour and forty minutes - 1hr 39 to be exact.
We hit our first stretch goal - additional audio files to use in game - about 3-4 hours after launch.
I went to bed, and sometime over night we rolled on through our second stretch goal, backgrounds and plot hooks on Hope's Pharma and their nasty corporate rivals The Suckler Family and Health Universal.
I woke up stupidly early at about 4:30am and was just in time to see that all 21 projects had funded, which means all physical backers get an additional bookmark gift from us too.
That all happened rather fast, and now I'm a bit like, what? We're now sitting at about 225% funded, which is pretty nutso.
We do have more stretch goals in the pipeline, so will let you know about those as soon as I a) confirm a few details and b) get an updated image asset for the page.
So I guess this mailer is just a 'watch this space' really.
And also to say a massive thank you to you for backing this project. To have all these cool, creative things being supported for Mothership Month genuinely restores my faith in humanity, and this is coming from someone who last smiled in 2018, and even that might've just been wind.
Until the Backerkit campaign for The Dose Makes The Poison goes live. Less than 48 hours really, yikes!
Early Backer Incentives!
If you back within the first 48 hours of the campaign at any physical (print) tier, you will get a FREE Hope’s Serum patch, a mock up of which can be seen below. Iron it onto a lab coat / some scrubs / a spare paramedic’s uniform and wear at your gaming table for complete immersion.
Early backers are super important to help us build momentum. That way, we raise more funds, unlock stretch goals and can offer even more as part of the whole package. Tuesday Knight Games is also offering amazing bonuses as more projects fund, so basically, everybody wins. Trust me, we’re all going to win.
Stretch Goals!
…Or Achievements as they like to call them over at Backerkit Ranch. Once we hit our funding target, we’ll look to enhance the project further as we reach higher levels of funding. We’re not getting ahead of ourselves and listing out tons of these, but two goals we’d love to hit are:
More Audio Files - a digital suite of professionally acted voice memos to be discovered in game, giving clues to the whole messy affair that’s unravelled on on station HS-14. I’ll record these onto my 8 track cassette machine for authentic cassette-futurism hiss. Here is yon multitrack, with a new cassette warmed and ready:
More pages - background on Hope’s Pharma Inc., and the company’s two arch rivals, Health Universal and Suckler Family Pharma. Plot hooks, tensions, rumours, bounties and key NPCs that will enable you to add more retro medical madness into your wide Mothership campaigns!
So, if you want to, please back early. And if you know anyone else that might like a Bioshock-styled module for Mothership, have them follow on our teaser page linked here.
Right, that’s it, apart from you need to answer the burning question in the poll below, that you can find on our Launch Party page. Just do it, I don’t make the rules.
If we hit this goal we’ll add in a suite of professionally acted ‘dictaphone voice memos’ as digital audio files. These will provide clues to be used in game, and will be authentically recorded to cassette multitrack for classic tape hiss.
Goal: £3,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
