We’re absolutely blown away and incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone who voted and helped make this happen—it means the world to us.
ODC Final Map
Project Status Update
Wages of Sin has officially moved from layout into proofreading. Huge thanks to everyone who sent in feedback—it’s made a big difference. We’re still on track to begin fulfillment in Q3.
Pledge Manager Closing Soon As we head into production, we'll also be closing our Pledge Manager. You'll have until Friday the 15th of August to finalize pre-orders and add-ons. If you’ve been meaning to finalize your order, now’s the time!
If you qualified for the Supply Pod and / or the Early Bird rewards, please note that changing or updating your Backerkit order may cause them to disappear from your order — this is fine! The items are still tied to your account, and once the pledge manager is locked we'll be going over pledges to re-add them to your orders.
👉 Quick reminder: Shipping will be charged later once rates and timelines are finalized.
The ODC has a small wilderness section as well. This thing really is huge.
This year we’re running it from mid-October to mid-November. That’ll be close to the Wages of Sin shipping window, but we feel strongly about keeping this an annual tradition. We've got even more projects lined up than last year, and we'll be revealing the final lineup soon as well as the theme for this year (hint: it's been a dream of ours for years).
We’re also working closely with BackerKit and our fulfillment partners on a potential shipping solution that could be a game-changer. Stay tuned.
As always, if you have questions or need help, email Tyler at [email protected] and he’ll get you sorted.
Thanks again for all your support—we couldn’t do this without you.
We’re releasing the Wages of Sin Backer Draft v0.1 today! You should be receiving an e-mail shortly, otherwise just login to your backerkit account and you'll find it. This version contains all content everything except the ODC Prison Complex section at the end of the book. A few diagrams and maps are still in progress, but the rest of the book is ready for your eyes. I'm gonna pass things over to our Creative Director, Adam, who can explain more about the draft:
Hi backers! I’m Adam, Creative Director at TKG and first off I’ve got to thank y’all. The success of Wages & Mothership Month is what helped Sean and Alan feel confident enough to bring me on full-time, so cheers to all of you. I’m super excited for you to get your hands on this (and to see what we have coming…)
Wages is a beast. When the manuscript was handed off to me at the beginning of the year, I knew I had something incredible in my hands. We thought it might be a 200-page book at first. Nope! At 320+ pages (and counting), Wages of Sin has nearly as many pages as the entire Mothership catalog combined, and definitely has more NPCs and location maps.
As mentioned in a previous update, you'll see some elements in this draft that are marked "scan incomplete", etc. Sean and I will be tag-teaming the remaining visuals throughout the rest of the month, but we wanted to get the majority of the content in your hands in the meantime. Just in time for your traditional 4th of July Mothership-by-fireworks sessions.
Additionally, and critically, the book has not gone through PDF remediation yet. So the final version will have hyperlinks and be optimized for PDF readers, etc.
Where do I find the download?
You'll receive an e-mail link, but if you don't, then you should check your Backerkit Survey. To find that you can search your e-mail, or click on your profile picture on the Backerkit website > Your pledges & Surveys > Your Surveys > Mothership: Wages of Sin > Go to page: Digital Downloads > Wages of Sin Backer Draft > Download. If you have trouble, be sure to e-mail Tyler for support.

Feedback
Okay so! We’re sharing this draft now so you can start reading and send us any feedback, notes, or proofreading catches you may have.
We’ve set up a Google Form to collect all your notes in one place. That’s the best place to leave your thoughts—not in the comments, Discord, or via email—since we’ll be reviewing all responses together and organizing them for final edits.
We're getting close to the end now, so we’ll update the Backer Draft file with the ODC content once it’s finalized, and send another update when that’s ready.
Thanks again for your support, and as always, reach out to Tyler at [email protected] if you need anything.

Just wanted to check in before June wraps up. We’ll have a longer update at the end of the week, but here’s where things stand: We’re finishing up the backer draft of Wages right now and plan to distribute it to you all later this week (🤞). This version will include everything except the ODC Prison Complex, which is fully written and in rough layout, but not quite in a shareable state yet.
A few things to note:
Some maps, diagrams, and illustrations are still being finalized and won’t be in this version.
The draft has been edited, but not proofread, so expect a few rough edges.
We’ll include a link to an online form where you can submit errors, typos, or feedback, so we can roll it all into the final draft.
We'll talk more about surveys, charging cards, and distributing PDFs for everything else in the next update!
Thanks again for your patience and support, we're getting close. As always, if you have any issues, please reach out to Tyler at [email protected].
I have a question about the bonus stuff. It says that you have to back 5+ things at a physical level to qualify for the Supply Pods. I originally backed 3 at physical, upgraded 1 PDF to physical in the survey, and am waiting on survey's for 2 others that were originally pledged as PDFs. If I upgrade at least one of those 2 remaining ones to a physical product would I then be eligible for the Supply Pods when available?
