Project Update: Zine PDF Update 1.01

Hey everyone,

I've got a small update for you this month:

The Company's New Groove 1.01

With the delay I thought it would be a good time for Hummelgrafik and I to go back to the PDF and fix any typos, a big shout out to Thursday Garreau for catching most of these, thank you!!

Here is the changelog:

- 1st Printing - 0.18, changed to 2nd Printing - 1.01 (pg.02) This will be the version that is used for any upcoming print runs.
-
APOP, changed to APOF (pg.04 & pg.07) No idea what APOP is, maybe A Pound of Pennies? but I wrote it wrong twice.
-
The Abandoned Monkey/How to Start, changed the font (pg.16) We used the wrong font for this title, it's now changed to match other title fonts.
-
Prospero Dreams Citizen Registry changed to Prospero's Dream Citizens Registry (pg.26) Couldn't get this one right either!
-
A large Bulkhead Door is the only other way out of this room. (Leads to Processing) changed to A large Bulkhead Door dominates one side of this room. (Leads to Processing) (pg.33) This was changed for readability.
- Prospero's Dream Citizen Registry changed to Prospero's Dream Citizens Registry (pg.38) So close to being correct with this one.

That's all the changes, as you can see it was really minor stuff. 

Please check your Mothership Month 2025 Survey and under digital downloads, the new folder should be there with the updated PDF.

That's it from us this month,
Happy Halloween!!

Project Update: Fulfillment Delay

Hi everyone,

So I'm going to get straight to it, unfortunately fulfillment has been delayed until March 2027 as announced by Tuesday Knight Games a few days ago (read it here).

I'm really sorry about the delay. As a first time creator this is not the kind of post that I wanted to write. As announced in the last update, all items for The Company's New Groove have arrived at the warehouses and been confirmed by the shipping partners. So you can rest assured, that your zines, t-shirts, patches and cocktail menus will be stored safely in the appropriate warehouses until it's time to ship. 

The idea with MM25 was to do a big group collaboration so that you would only have one pledge manager, regardless of how many individual projects you backed, and most importantly have everything ship together so that you only pay once for shipping. Obviously the downside of that is that every project needs to be ready to ship at the same time. This was a super complicated process that was completely new to everyone, and Daniel from TKG has been doing a stellar job navigating and coordinating 27 different projects from all over the world. 

This also means any official release for The Company's New Groove through other channels will also be pushed back. Without you, this project wouldn't have been possible, so I want to reiterate my promise that you'll be the first to receive your books before anyone else gets a chance to buy them. Everyone on the team hopes that you'll love the finished product when you get it and that it's worth the wait! 

I'll keep updating you with new info as it comes in but I expect that it'll bit quieter in the upcoming months as the other projects get closer to fulfillment.

That's it from us this month.

Project Update: Shipping to Warehouse Complete!

Hello everyone,

Let's dive straight into this month's update for The Company's New Groove!

Shipping Status

I've received confirmation from QML that the reprints of the Zine have arrived safely at their warehouse.
That means that both warehouses have received all the items for this campaign!

What Happens Next?

Tuesday Knight Games and their shipping partners will be taking over fulfillment for this project and all other MM25 projects and will ensure that your orders arrive at your door. I really can't wait for everyone to get their hands on the physical copies.

I'll still make small updates here and there as I receive more concrete information as to when this will happen, otherwise that is wrap on The Company's New Groove.

Is This The End?.....

If you missed out on backing the project, not to worry as copies of the Zine and Cocktail Menu Trifold will be available on the TKG store front as well as on a future site (probably on Itch and/or DrivethruRPG) where I'll sell digital copies and extra physical copies I have of the various items. This will only happen when fulfillment is underway, as I want to make sure that my backers are the first to get their hands on this Zine before anyone else gets the chance to.   

I want to thank all of you for your support on this project and helping to bring it to life. This whole thing was completely new for Hummelgrafik and me, we learnt so much over this last year working on it and we're incredibly proud of what we managed to create.

I'm pretty active on the Mothership discord, so if you run the game, definitely let me know how it goes and if you have any questions then please reach out!

I hope you have a blast with The Company's New Groove. Perhaps I'll have a new adventure in the future for you to enjoy!

Project Update: Shipping Update

Hello everyone,


Things are starting to wind down on 'The Company's New Groove' so lets dive into where everything is at.

Zine Printing 

Two weeks ago I received my copies from the final print, unfortunately there was a printing error with the cover...  That was an unbelievably stressful half a week, trying to figure out what could be done but thankfully my printer figured out what went wrong, reprinted and reshipped all copies of the Zine at no extra cost! 

Here you can see what I received compared to the test print.


Shipping Status

Navigating international customs and shipping has been certainly something, but it was at the very least a learning experience.  I'm shipping my items to two warehouses, PTS in France and QML in USA. This is what the current status of everything is:

PTS (UK & Europe)
- They have received and confirmed all my items have arrived!

QML (America & RotW)
- The Company's New Groove Zine (In transit)
- The Drunken Monkey Cocktail Menu Trifold (Arrived but not confirmed)
- Dance till You're Dead Patch (Arrived but not confirmed) 
- The Drunken Monkey Patch (Arrived but not confirmed) 
- The Drunken Monkey T-Shirts (Arrived but not confirmed) 

I've sent these warehouses an extra 10% stock on top of what was ordered so if, later, when you receive your items and something is damaged, please don't hesitate to reach out.


Based on how things are running, I reckon next month will be the final major update from us as Tuesday Knight Games will be taking over the fulfillment process and making sure you guys get all the cool MM25 stuff you backed!

See you in next months update!

Project Update: Cocktail Menu Digital Release & Small Printing Update

Hello everyone,

Wasn't expecting to make another update so soon but I've got great news to share!

Cocktail Menu Digital Release

The Cocktail Menu is now available digitally for backers! Check your digital downloads link from the Mothership Month 2025 email you got last month and it should be there.

(EDIT: It will be a separate download to the folder that you received last month, the cocktail menu is available to backers who purchased it as an add-on or got the All In Tier.)

Kat and I had a blast making this and spent way too much money on spirits, liqueurs, mixers, syrups and juices that it's going to take a long time to drink our way through..... (oh no) 

We hope you enjoy making a mocktail or a cocktail for your table next time you visit The Drunken Monkey. 

Cocktail Menu Test Print

The Test Print arrived a lot earlier than expected and it looks and feels great. We ended up going for a slightly thicker card stock than a standard Mothership Trifold to give the menu a bit more heft as well as making some final layout changes after seeing it in person.

This means that I'll be giving the printer the go ahead and printing should start this week on the Trifold!

Printing Update

Here is the current status on all Physical Items for the Project:
Module - Printing has already started.
T-Shirt - Production has already started.
Patches - Production has already started.
Cocktail Menu Trifold - I'll be contacting the Printer to get printing started.

That's all from us, see you at the end of the month for a standard monthly update.
