A nice change of pace from the weary travel of the interstellar express lanes. The crowd, having travelled from across the solar system, is electric in anticipation for this performance by the young pianist and singer known as “the siren of the stars.”
But she never shows.
After a brief investigation, it seems that she’s been MIA for some time. Feigning concern, the director of Spinward, Ltd. announces a reward for any information about her location and status. That’s where you come in.

While this is not an adventure for a horror roleplaying game, there are adult themes discussed and potentially encountered in Jupiter in Eb Minor. As such, please be aware it may contain elements of the following:
Lone Archivist (Writing, Layout, Publishing) is a games and graphic designer based out of Southern California. His work includes writing and design for a handful of third-party Mothership modules including Primeval, What We Give To Alien Gods, In Other Waters: Tidebreak, and Hull Breach. He is also known for his layout design for Orbital Blues and DIE RPG. When not working on games or design he can be found crate-digging for a new jazz record or adding yet another book to the TBR list.
Christian Sorrell (Editing) known online as MeatCastle GameWare, is a game designer, writer, and editor based out of Newfoundland & Labrador. His work includes editing the 2025 ENNIE award-winning adventure The Shrike, development consulting on Cloud Empress, writing an official adventure for Triangle Agency, and designing an array of third-party modules including There is a Goblin on the Loose in Icarus Station, The Bloodfields at Blackstar Station, Flatline on the Blocks, and more.
Josh Clark (Art) is an artist, writer, and graphic designer based in Melbourne, Australia. He is the co-creator and artist behind OrbitalBlues and the author of Wayward Stars: the Art of Orbital Blues. He has also contributed work to Anodyne Printware’s Hull Breach, Gauntlet Publishing’s Public Access and Liminal Horror’s The Bloom. He has also worked on art for the bands Moongate, Orcein, and From Sorrow to Serenity and numerous event posters and marketing material for Melbourne-area events.
Good news is that the zine is pretty much done! So, barring any major edits or issues with final layout, I will be looking to go into digital distribution shortly after the crowdfunding campaign has concluded.
Digital Fulfillment will be completed through Backerkit.
Physical Fulfillment will be completed with regional distributors. Due to changes with shipping platforms, rates, and legal requirements over the last few months, shipping will not be included in the backing pledges. Shipping fees will be added on during the pledge management and may vary depending on your location.
This in mind, we’re trying to keep all physical rewards something that can fit into an envelope along with the zine to keep shipping costs down. Between this and digital-only stretch goals or achievements, we’re aiming to keep shipping available worldwide. Please note that, due to the addition of non-book rewards, shipping will not make use of the USPS Media Mail as it would no longer qualify.
We are very aware of delays caused by shipping and fulfillment as well as the potential barriers caused by the manufacturing process and supply issues. This in mind, we’ll be using Backerkit to finalize shipping details to ensure costs match market rates at the time of fulfillment. You’ll be able to use this to update your shipping address as well as upgrade your pledge level, should you wish to do so.
Again, shipping will be collected post-campaign in the Pledge Manager.
Below are ESTIMATED costs of Domestic and International shipping.
Our fulfillment partners are unfortunately not able to ship to the following countries: Afghanistan, Belarus, Bhutan, Brazil, Brunei, Central African Republic, Chad, Cuba, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Iran, Israel, Laos, Liberia, Libya, Mayotte, Miquelon, Mongolia, Niue, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Reunion (Bourbon), Russia, Saint Pierre, Samoa, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.
The primary risks associated with this project stem from the small team behind it. As each of our collaborators contribute a significant part to the project they are integral to the ultimate completion of Jupiter in Eb Minor.
Should personal or familial emergencies arise it is likely that it will lead to minor delays. Part of the reason for our generous timeline is to factor in and account for unforeseen occurrences outside of our control.
That said, each member of the team behind Jupiter in Eb Minor has a successful crowdfunding record and history of fulfilling the promises laid out in our campaign.
