We are liveearlier than expected:
Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like.
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final count.
Shipping fees:
Due to the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have the best estimates for everyone. We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping a month or two before fulfillment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backers rewards. We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalized & before we charge your cards in your BackerKit survey. We will keep you informed all along the way!

Add items to your pledge
Upgrade your pledge (except Warden's Collectors Box)

This is our first draft of the Warden reference Pamphlet. With the Backer-Release of the Mothership 1E PSG by Tuesday Knight Games, we are now enabled to adapt all our references towards the final official rules.

Hello Crew,
our ship got stuck in space-time for a bit - we are now finally heading towards planet Backerkit. It‘s way more complex than we expected but surveys are very soon to come! While having to deal with all these encounters from the Void we drive forward writing and composing processes so we can reveal more content in the next updates.
Stay tuned!

Here’s a short progress report
Most of the initially rejected payments have been corrected in the meantime – so we came out with a pretty low cancel rate. Thanks for that!
Preview for a custom character sheet:
Custom character sheet. Final product might differ
Might come in handy for you (cross-promo):
We’d like to shine a light on the Kickstarter campaign for Heroes & Hardships (ref-link) by Jason Duff. It just launched some hours ago and is already funded:
Any Setting! Any Character! Any Adventure! Anything You Can Imagine!
Heroes & Hardships is a universal roleplaying game that allows gamemasters to craft any story they desire. Heroes & Hardships contains many options to facilitate diverse styles and genres of play; GMs can easily create standard fantasy, sci-fi, modern, historical, and super hero games. And of course, feel free to readily mix and match all of these genres in any way they see fit.
In Heroes & Hardships you will find:
A universal RPG system suitable for any setting or genre;
Extreme customization, from optional rules to hundreds of character options;
Tightly designed game systems that work seamlessly together or apart;
Dangerous and tactical combat, with optional rules for simpler forms of violence;
Two interconnected magic systems for wizards and super heroes alike;
Vehicle creation and combat;
A bestiary full of medieval, fantasy, modern, and sci-fi adversaries;
Extreme quality, from AAA game industry artists, to hardcover book extras like a ribbon, soft-touch matte cover, and FSC paper.
And much more!
More stuff tba!
Thanks

Hi Voidists,
mission complete - we’re funded! And it was a crazy three weeks ride through the hyperspace: 975 Backers pledged €28.251. We’re quite a bit overwhelmed by your incredible support. Thanks a billion!
Current ranking based on Kickstarter search:
#3 Mothership related Zine Quest most funded
#6 Mothership 3rd party products most funded
#12 Zine Quest most funded
Downtime
Before we enter the hardcore writing, illustrating, composing and recording phase we’ll need a few days to restock our equipment, charge the laser cutters, roll some dice on random encounter tables - just business as usual. We’ll wait for the dust to settle and come back to you with an update mid October.
Nevertheless, your questions will of course be answered during that time - so don’t hesitate to message us.
10th Stretch Goal: The Extended Campaign Guide
Oh wow, we really made it to this goal. The original content of our note books regarding the mysteries behind the Modules and the setting will be revealed. It will contain the back stories of the Corporations, their dark past in the XIII. Corporate War and the hidden tradegy of the HMR Erebus science vessel, which discovered the Far Horizon Sectors. Stay tuned for more stuff.
What’s up next?
Besides all the creative stuff, 222 Warden Collector’s Boxes will soon be waiting for their bite marks. So that’s one big challenge to handle - time to sharpen the fangs! Also negotiations for production and fulfillment are still pending.
We’re preparing the expedition into the Void - more information in the next update!
Missed the deadline?
Good news - it’s not too late for you to join the crew. Visit the pre-order page on our Backerkit in a few weeks. We’ll keep you posted!
