Just a quick note to say that all zines have been dispatched to all remaining backers.
The majority of outstanding orders (those with the Timed Release pamphlet) we're dispatched before Christmas so they should be in hands by now.
The final 100 orders to the (very patient) EU were posted by Peregrine Coast on Saturday, so should be with you all very soon.
If you've not received a zine there's most likely an issue with a failed payment for shipping - there's 19 of those outstanding. I've emailed all the outstanding accounts directly before Christmas but only heard back from 2-3 of you.
If you've a query about your order drop me a line here and look into it immediately.
I just want to send out my appreciation to you all again for allowing me to make this zine (my first ever zine project!), if it hadn't been for you folks and the might of Mothership Month it wouldn't have happened.
You should now have a pdf of the free Timed Release pdf in your inbox via Backerkit downloads. This is available for any backer of the £8 tier and above (all tiers apart from the £6 Pdf Only tier).
If you don't have this in your inbox (or spam folder), it likely means you are only of approx 40 backers that have failed payments for shipping, or one of the 11 folks that have yet to complete your survey. Please reach out to me and I'll re-try your card again. I'm also going to try emailing these final outstanding backers directly from my own email address (not via Backerkit) to try and get these sorted before I complete the final wave of physical shipping.
Timed Release is off to print tomorrow and should have a fairly quick turnaround, so I'm expecting be shipping the final physical outstanding backers very soon.
As a reminder I'll be handling shipping for everywhere except the EU; as mentioned before I'll be sending these orders down to Peregrine Coast Press to fulfil so you don't get hit with any nasty additional import charges.
Hopefully the next update will be to let you know all final physical items have been posted and the project is complete!
Short update: I'm afraid I've not quite completed the Timed Release pamphlet, but we're almost there!
This is holding up the final orders, which as sitting all packed and awaiting the pamphlet, as can be seen in this stunning photo:
Basically the run up to Mothership Month 2025 has got in the way - it feels shitty to say that this years MoshMo has delayed the final orders for last years project, but I don't want to make excuses - I've just had to pause the project and pick it back up all month as new things came in for the MM25 deadline. Good news is MM25 is now live, and this final piece of the puzzle will have my undivided attention this weekend.
The next And Tomorrow Games project, Drink From The Hippocrene, is now live for Mothership Month 2025 and off to an amazing start, here's the trailer:
The campaign page can be found HERE. We've rattled through a load of stretch goals already and there's still time to grab the early-bird 48hr free patch.
For those that prefer Itch.io for digital distribution, if you're a backer you can now download The Dose Makes The Poison digital files over at the (stunning and not at all threadbare looking) And Tomorrow Games Itch.io page, just follow the link in the Backer Only Content section below.
Following there means you'll be kept up to date with any new version updates for Dose, too.
Also, did I mention my new project for Mothership Month '25 Drink from the Hippocrene? Ach, I know I did, but the last update had a duff link to the teaser page, which you should find correctly this time HERE.
Follow along - in the next few weeks there'll more info on exclusive early backer content and some really cool cover art to share too...
There's a bunch of Prospero's Dream set modules incoming, from super talented creators including Norgad, D.G. Chapman and Chris Airiau who all helped me in massive ways getting Dose over the line. The full teaser list is HERE.
You should already have access to the V1.0 PDF and V1.0 Digital Assets bundle via Backerkit. If you can’t access these, it likely means you are also waiting for the physical release but there’s been a payment issue on your card - please ping me via the BK Support email.
I also plan to redistribute these files via the new (and very sparse looking) And Tomorrow Games Itch.io account. Give us a follow! Itch looks like a more robust system for delivering files and providing updates.
The free PDF of the pamphlet Timed Release is still on its way (more on that below).
Physical
Most shipping is complete and now in the post.
The only groups outstanding are:
Backers in the EU
Backers who added the physical pamphlet Timed Release
EU orders will be distributed by Peregrine Coast (so VAT could be charged upfront, as mentioned in the previous Charging Cards update). I’m holding those until Timed Release is printed, so everything can ship together.
I wasn’t fully happy with the Timed Release pamphlet, so I’ve revised it again. I’m sorry for holding things up, but since this is going to print, I want to make sure it’s right.
Shipping Times
Royal Mail Standard usually takes about a week worldwide. The recent pause in US shipping might cause some small delays.
The last packages went over the weekend, so if you haven’t received anything by the end of next week, drop me a note and I’ll check to see what's up.
So far, ~550 packages have shipped, with ~300 still to go. My goal is to finish by month’s end - either sending direct from Scotland or via Peregrine Coast.
I employed my parents for stuffing 900 odd zines into little bags (they’re retired and had nothing better to do).
Bounced Cards
About 50 backers still have unpaid shipping charges. We’ve run multiple payment attempts on these now. If your card bounced, you should have had several emails letting you know - check your spam folder if you think this might be you.
And finally, Mothership Month 25!
I’m mad happy to share I’ve been accepted into Mothership Month 25. This year’s theme is content for the mighty Prospero’s Dream station from A Pound Of Flesh.
More details will come from Tuesday Knight Games soon, but in the meantime, please check out my teaser page for more info, Drink From The Hippocrene, and give it a follow for more updates!
That’s all for now - if everything goes smoothly, the next update should be a the project wrap.
