Thanks a bunch for your patience. Here is the finalish PDF for Interloper! Hope you enjoy it, should be enough to get your game started if you're looking to be running the mystery module as soon as possible. It's been a while working on this and I'm happy to share it with you.
Bookmarking is still pending but hyperlinks should work.
EDIT: Late pledge backers can't see the link for some reason, but I've just sent this to everyone's email via Backerkit as well.
If you see any typos over the next week, send an email with the typo and page number to [email protected] and we'll work on fixing them in final, final version and send it to the printers.
Can we please get a proper update for this project, please? I know MM24 was rocky and there are other projects that didn't shipped yet, but to my understanding this is the only one who doesn't even have a first version of the pdf for backers to check. Hell, one of the projects from MM25 is already shipped and in the meantime we didn't got a meaningful update for Dog eats Dog since october.
I'm not really in a rush to recieve a product, but I would at the very least expect some honesty and just not radio silence. If there is a problem, please say it. Just don't leave us feeling like idiots for trusting on this project.
Wave One Shipping is Complete!
I hope you like my graphic design skills... it is my passion.
If you were in Wave One, your package should have arrived or be landing very soon. I know copies are still reaching places like Australia, so if you’re further afield you may still be waiting on final delivery.
If you expected to be in Wave One and haven’t received a shipping notification, please reach out. You can contact me through BackerKit Help (which automatically includes your backer info) or email me direct at [email protected].
A note for backers outside Canada and the US There were 10 orders that got held up by missing stock. The stock has been replaced and is with ZATU now, those orders should ship this week. Thanks for your patience to the few affected.
Wave Two Commencing ASAP
Wave Two ships this week. This wave is mostly a few later pre-orders and a handful of backers who had card errors. If you've received a payment email, please update your card so we can include you when Wave Two ships later this week or early next.
What's Next for MGG? The Hardlight Adventure Anthology!
My first hardcover, its an over 200-page adventure sandbox, filled with generators, tools, a complete sector of space that connects all MGG adventures past and present. I'm working with Panda on this one too so it’ll match the same production quality you’ve come to expect.
Plus, if you back in the next 24 hours, you're still eligible to get the free PDF "NCID Fleet Guide" pamphlet add-on featuring shipbreaker's-style vessels loaded with adventure hooks, danger, and loads of juicy salvage.
That’s it for March and, with shipping nearing completion, its more or less a wrap for this campaign. It's been an awesome journey and I thank you all once more for joining me on it. Without your support, none of this happens. With that in mind, if anything’s wrong with your order, please reach out via BackerKit or email me. I want to make sure everyone gets what they backed.
I hope you have a blast with Burning Gods and wish you all the best until the next adventure.
We have a brief update about progress, we wanted to post this last week, but we missed the end of the short month of February. We continue to work out our style guide, but our biggest progress has been completing the entire script for Amanda's 7 full-spread graphic novel pages that tell the story of the final two weeks of Brianna Pilgrim's life. I'd never written a graphic novel before, only screenplays, ttrpgs, board games, and academic writing. This made me scared of this task, but it was actually a joy to complete once I discovered the manuscript format used by Dark Horse comics. I'm also so happy that I have such a tremendous artist who I trust to adjust blocking and dialog as she illustrates, I trust Amanda's taste immensely.
We are now on track to have the solo prequel adventure done this month, to give everyone something short and playable. We will also start to share PDFs of each level of the station as we complete them, but we will save the final level of the station (there are seven total) and the back half of the campaign for once the book is finalized. We want y'all to be able to see work while still saving some mystery. We also look forward to getting more eyes on each section as we layout because we can make adjustments as we complete the book.
After a lot more prepress work than we expected, the print files for the book, stickers, and temporary tattoos, and the manufacturing files for the two patches, were all completed earlier this month. Unfortunately, that was right as the Chinese New Year began, and as a result, we’re still waiting on our printer’s review and approval. We believe we’ve followed their guidance appropriately, so we aren’t anticipating too many more tweaks at this point.
As announced, the preorder store was closed this month so that we can get final order numbers ready for the print run. Once again, if you still haven’t filled out your survey, be sure to do so now at this link: https://devils-due.backerkit.com/
Some good news is that we’re able to have our tattoos printed on a single large sheet, instead of 5 individual copies of a single piece, giving us the space to add more tattoos without additional cost. So we’ve included the Dark Arcana ballo in maschera masks and the signature Devil’s Due skull and crossbones as tattoos that you’ll be able to cut out and apply as well!
My name is Hayley and I am the new Sales & Marketing Manager at TKG! I am stoked to be here. Even though I've only been in my role for a few days, I have been a big fan of TKG for more than a decade. I think our games rock (and no, Sean is not paying me to say that). As someone whose household backed Wages of Sin and has also been eagerly awaiting the Megadamage release, I am excited to give you all an update!
Looks dope, right?
First of all, I am happy to say that the Megadamage PDF is now available for download! I got a sneak peek of the final file early last week and pored over all 200 pages of the book. Megadamage brings you a captivating interview with Philip Eisner, writer of Event Horizon, horrifying short stories and comics, an article overviewing Teamsters and Trade Unionism, tips for weaving cultural dynamics into RPG storytelling by TKG's very own Luke Gearing, and much more. Check it out today!
MEGA-AWESOME.
Right now, it looks like we are on track to meet our goal of having the Wages of Sin books ready to freight to the warehouse in April! Dai has also been working to fix hyperlinks in the PDF. I plan to be popping in here at least every month to give an update and share what I am excited to see happening at TKG.
If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. Thanks for reading and I'll be in touch soon!
Similar to others, I've got a tracking number that had a label created in late October 2025, though nothing has been shipped. Any assistance is appreciated
Shipping is starting at the end of this month. I cannot wait to hold it in my hands—I’m on the same boat and eagerly looking forward to it. Soon we can head into the Bonnacio warzone and try to grab as much gold from our dead enemies as possible!
Next, the OST is uploaded, with only two short songs/recordings still missing. The main composer, Vezir, is creating a Bandcamp/YouTube video for it, so when it’s done I will share it also. In the meantime, it’s in the BackerKit section of this update (I uploaded it to the same Google Drive folder as the files from the last update, so you can find it there).
Last, I would like to promote a couple of things I either like, backed, or helped work on.
First, maybe you figured it out, but I like space, horror, and pirates. I participated as a co-writer on two projects. Most of my work is either for Mothership or Pirate Borg. Since this is a Mothership project, let’s start with Mothership and then move to Pirate Borg.
Twisting Unseen The first project I think is a must-have is Twisting Unseen. Several people I worked with in the past and really enjoyed working with are on it, so it will be a blast for sure. Chris from 5MW, Violet from RV Games, Christian from MeatCastle… man! The module itself is a map-making/dungeon-creating module with phenomenal maps from Ripley (more on him in the next promo as well). Go check it out, I think you’ll love it! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/5-million-worlds-press/twisting-unseen?ref=home-page
Tales from the Locker Another project I participated in is the Pirate Borg zine Tales from the Locker v.1! Skeleton Ed put together a team full of great creators and is putting it all under his creative vision, and it looks very promising! Definitely worth a look from you, you scurvy scoundrels! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcanescrollworks4/tales-from-the-locker-1/description
These Bloody Sails Another Pirate Borg project that hits exactly what I’m looking for in the game: naval adventure! I’ve been missing proper sea-based adventures in what’s currently available for this great game, and it looks like they hit the spot with this one. So I’m definitely really interested in what they have to show. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thiseffingmgames/pirate-borg-these-bloody-sails?ref=2bggy1
Potvory This one is a unique system from a creator from the Czech Republic, where I come from as well, so I feel almost forced to promote them. Also, it looks really cool—it’s a retelling of cultural monsters from Czech folklore through a queer lens. And you can download it for free to check before backing, so go check it out! Atta boy! :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studiotvora/potvory-tabletop-roleplaying-game/comments
