Happy Wednesday, my friends! We wanted to check in to give you an update on surveys. Today, Daniel will be sending out a survey smoke test to approximately 5-10% of backers. So if you catch wind that folks are receiving surveys, but you haven’t received one yet, don’t fret! If the first round rolls out without problems, then everyone else should receive their surveys either tomorrow or Friday.
Once you receive your survey, you will have the chance to snag any add-ons, such as The Dream Team t-shirt or MEGADAMAGE, the premium, large-format megazine from Mothership. As a reminder if you backed at least five projects at the physical level during Mothership Month, then you are eligible to receive a Supply Pod.
If you haven’t received your survey by the end of the week, make sure to check your spam folder. If you have any questions or difficulties, please reach out to Backerkit support or send us an email at [email protected]. As always, we appreciate your support of TKG and all things Mothership!
Happy Tuesday, my friends! The TKG team is working on a lot of exciting projects this month, but we are especially stoked to be able to share what’s new with Prospero’s Dream.
First, we have a new work-in-progress Warden’s Screen created by Zoe Tweedale, the artist and writer behind the Mothership Month 25 module, HUNTERS. Take a look below!
Incredible, right?
The chaos and violence depicted in Tweedale’s work sets a tone that is sure to induce crushing stress as your crew navigates the module.
But wait! There’s more…
We also have some new art from Jan Buragay.
Velma Song
Lois Kier
We’ve got Velta Song, a conductor for the Prospero rail system and Lois Kier, provost and erstwhile police chief for the Tempest Mercenary Company in the block. We’re doing these in the same style as A Pound of Flesh and we’ll be using them as a full line-up for the Prospero’s Dream Deluxe Warden’s Screen.
Keep an eye on your email inbox because the Mothership Month 25 Backerkit survey should be going out next week! Please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected] if you have any questions or problems. Thanks for reading!
My name is Hayley and I am the new Sales & Marketing Manager at TKG! I'm always caffeinated and today I'm motivated to get you all updated on what's happening with the Prospero's Dream campaign!
First, TKG's own Luke Gearing has been working diligently to bring the three Prospero's Dream books to life. Here's what Luke has to say-
"We're in a final round of developmental editing for Mouths to Feed. This is mostly about punching everything up and making sure we're happy with the shape of things before moving on to me revising all the text. A big chunk of this has been looking at how best to present murder scenes. After that it's off to editing with Jert (editor's note: Jarrett Crader).
Last week I handed in the first draft for God Complex, which Sean is now reading through for a big developmental pass. Then that'll be in the same place.
As part of both, we're collating which elements are better moved off into Living the Dream, the third book of the set."
Along with Luke's update, we also have new art to share!
Getting Closer!
This is a work-in-progress creation by Alec Sorensen. As you may know, Alec is the award-winning artist who designed the pawns for the core set. Below is another WIP piece depicting a Chokespawn.
Horrifyingly Amazing.
I will be back soon with more! I plan to check in at least monthly to give updates on the campaign and share what I am excited about. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!
Hope you all had a good holiday. Sorry I'm a little late getting this update out. Things are going great with Prospero's Dream. Luke has manuscripts out for both Mouths to Feed and God Complex, and those will be going to our editor soon for final notes. Living the Dream is being written now. Layout on the books will start in the beginning of March. House Call has been written and has a first pass on layout finished. The cardstock pawns are being illustrated currently and should be done within the month. We've started work on the poster as well. This part's pretty exciting since we've never really done a full map of the Dream. For us it'll be the first time we've really designed a city in this way. Our goal is to create something that's detailed enough to use in your game, but leaves enough room to slot in adventures and establishments that you design, generate, or pull from other modules set on the Dream. It's a great challenge, but our ship designer has been working on it for months now, so we're excited to bring it to you.
Next up we have the location cards, which we're looking to get art done for. And the warden's screen, which has art well underway and we're collating the tables together for it now. It won't be a repeat of the Core/Deluxe tables, rather it'll be focused on Prospero's Dream specific tables.
Alright, that's all for now! We're still working on the mega pledge manager, which is pretty complicated. But hopefully more news on that front soon.
If you have any issues, please don't hestitate to e-mail Tyler at [email protected]
From all of us at TKG we want to wish you all a Happy New Years and hope you have a wonderful 2026. We're going through the draft of Mouths to Feed now and starting layout on it. We've been getting some new art in from Jan Buragay. See below!
Otherwise, we're working on getting art in for the cards and writing God Complex and Living the Dream. It's gonna be a busy year for us!
