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!

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!
Again - thank you all for making this possible!
Cheers

Landing sequence initiated! Last hours – last stretch goal?

Dear Backers,
the next mark has been reached - the Estraven Minerals Inc. Pamphlet will be included as printed collector’s stretch goal. While the countdown for the last 24 hours has started we can already announce that the 2nd wave of Warden Collector’s Edition Boxes is also sold out!
You can now get an idea of what the soundscapes, music and transmissions will sound like. Yesterday we uploaded some audio demos to our YouTube channel:
Thanks to your massive support and based on the Kickstarter search for Zine Quest, we are currently at rank three of the most successful Mothership Zine Quest campaigns ever. In good company with This Ship is a Tomb and A Pound of Flesh! Fantastic!
We are also now entering final talks with a new fulfillment partner located in the USA – so we might be able to reduce the shipping costs for some regions. We will share further information as soon as we have all the numbers.
Cheers
The Arcanum Team

Hi Backers!
yes down here. I thought we could mix up the style of our updates a bit. We will have some news and updates daily now for the next 4 days till the end of our campaign, as things are moving very fast.
Collaborations!
As seen in the image above, we have now entered a collaboration with Norman Köhring, creator of Here be Dragons. You will soon be able to add printed pamphlets of his Mothership Adventure to your pledge.
At the same time there is also news on another front. We had our first demo session with our voice actress for the Transmissions today. Our team is working day and night to get them ready to listen to, so we can present them.
Final Stretch Goals revealed!
Here we are, a mere few days away from the end of a long 3 weeks ride. You all have blasted our wildest dreams into the Far Horizons. It's thrilling and humbling to see so many people support our zine. We give our best to offer you a cool and fun experience with our stuff.
May you traverse the Void savely,
The Arcanum Team
