Project Update: Update 1 - Manufacturing, Fulfillment, Tariffs, Stretch Goals

Hello everyone!

I wanted to extend another thank you for all of the pledges. We're very happy with how this campaign has ended up, and it's thanks to Tempest Tome fans and Mothership players alike. 


So, what's next?
Right now, we are:
  • Setting up the pledge manager (Terrors from the Cosmos 1 will be available as an add-on, we are currently sold out)
  • Creating the digital maps unlocked by stretch goals
  • Creating the printer-friendly version of the game PDFs unlocked by a stretch goal
  • Finalizing manufacturing with our factory
  • Preparing to fulfill the games

So far, we're looking at August for our fulfillment and shipping timeframe.


Tariffs & Backerkit
Unfortunately, nearly all game manufacturers (Tempest Tome included) have our games created and shipped from China. The costs, quality of work, and centralization of manufacturing (for example, our factory is able to create the plastic shells via a mold, the obi strips, etc., not just the games) make it a lot better to manufacture there vs the USA or elsewhere.

Due to the political/economic situation in the USA, there are tariffs on products from China.

Right now, this is causing many tabletop game studios to fully shut down and cut their losses, as tabletop games usually have a pretty narrow margin. We are a small studio with only a few games, so this will not affect us quite as badly. We are not closing down and are continuing with a number of game projects.

Backerkit has set up a new tariff component in the coming pledge manager. This will allow us to add the tariff onto the games. We apologize for the increase in cost, but it's not really something in our hands, and hope you understand.

Essentially, based on where you are in the world and what you choose in the pledge manager, you may have an extra tariff cost to pay in addition to shipping. This only applies to physical products, not digital.

Thank you everyone for your support, and we'll have more for you soon!

I pledged for only the pamphlets. Can I upgrade to the Deluxe version later?

Project Update: Final 24 Hours to Pledge!



Hello all!

We have only (about) 24 hours left on the TERRORS FROM THE COSMOS 2 campaign. It has been a huge success and you all have unlocked every stretch goal. Thank you again so very much.

If anyone you know is interested or on the fence, now is the time to tell them to pledge! We appreciate your support.

We will update you after the campaign on next steps towards the pledge manager and locking in your orders.

TERRORS FROM THE COSMOS 1 will likely see a reprint after this campaign. We are going to try to have it available during the pledge manager portion, for those who were unable to get a copy during the campaign itself.

Thank you again!

Hi there - I am interested in buying season 1 physical print but missed the chance on the initial pledge so I got the pdfs. I saw somewhere you were going to try and have it available on the pledge manager but I am new to crowdfunding so I dont understand when this can be added - since I was already charged for the season 2 physical + season 1 pdfs pledge. Thanks!

Are there plans to add more of the Series 1 physical boxes as an addon or are you completely sold out :(
