Set a Reminder:
WAGES OF SIN is your guide to crime on the Rim. It contains 100 bounties, each a story the players steer: they decide who lives and who dies. For criminal campaigns, it features 10 bounty hunters to seek them out. If they get captured, it has a court system and a prison colony: they can look to serve out their time or plan a daring breakout. Play doesn’t stop when you get caught.



What’s Inside?
This is our first hardcover book for Mothership and it's a big one.
  • 📚 Over 200 pages of content for running bounty hunting campaign in Mothership.
  • 🧑‍🔧 100 Bounties, each with consequences based on player actions. Each formatted as a one-shot adventure. Use them as targets, or as NPCs, enemies, or clients.
  • 👩‍🚀 200+ NPCs, running the gamut from emotionless suits to honest workers caught in a pinch.
  • 🪐 50+ Worlds to explore and expand upon.
  • 👮 10 Bounty Hunters to pursue your players - or compete with them.
  • 🧰 A toolkit for making your own bounties.
  • 👩‍⚖️ A streamlined system for running legal battles.

Written by Luke Gearing (Gradient Descent, Wolves Upon the Coast, Fever Swamp) with layout by Sean McCoy and art by Tyler Garlando.

PDF Answers and Mothership Month 26!
Hello and happy Tuesday, everyone! 

It has been so great to see folks enjoying their copies of Wages of Sin and Megadamage. If you are still waiting on your pledge, hold tight! The fulfillment companies are working to get your books to you. If you have trouble with your order, check out last month’s update to learn how to get in contact with the company overseeing your fulfillment and what to do if you haven’t heard a response from them. 

We’ve had some folks reach out to ask how to get their PDFs. Being that we have two crowdfunding campaigns we are working on simultaneously (and typically update on the same day), I wanted to provide a bit more clarification on what PDFs are available for the Wages of Sin campaign. The following Tuesday Knight Games publications are available for download to those who backed them:

  • Player's Survival Guide
  • Warden's Operation Manual
  • Ship Breaker's Toolkit
  • Unconfirmed Contact Reports
  • Dead Planet
  • A Pound of Flesh
  • Gradient Descent
  • Another Bug Hunt
  • Wages of Sin
  • Megadamage 01

You can find your digital downloads on your Wages of Sin survey. If you have trouble finding that, here is a quick guide on how to access your PDFs. If you are missing any PDFs, please reach out to us at [email protected].

If you have any friends who missed out on backing the Wages of Sin project, they are in luck! We have officially released Wages of Sin, Megadamage, and the Wages of Sin t-shirts for retail purchase. The books and shirts are now available to order from our website at www.tuesdayknightgames.com 

Last, we have an announcement about Mothership Month 26. We have truly appreciated the support of the Mothership community for the last two years. This time, we’d like to give the support back to you. That’s why this November, we will not be having a crowdfunding campaign for Mothership Month. Instead, we will be launching three new projects for the community.

The first is the Jump-9 Writer’s Grant. Three up-and-coming writers will be awarded $9,000 each to help them publish their Mothership third party adventure. Click here to learn more about the grant or submit your application. Winners will be announced during Mothership Month 26, but applications close on September 30th, 2026.

We are also officially launching our Wardens Club. Earn cool swag and receive free monthly modules when you sign up to run games at your friendly local game store. Sign up here to be notified when it goes live.

Last, we are stoked to announce Mothership Select. This will be the Hall of Fame for Mothership adventures. Ten modules will be recognized for their standout story and given a cool new logo and special place in the TKG store. Winners will be announced during Mothership Month 26.

Check out Sean’s blog or watch his recent interview with Miles Away Games to learn more about Mothership Month 26. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. As always, thanks for reading and supporting TKG!

First, fulfillment has officially begun for Europe, the UK, and North America! As a reminder, folks in North America will have their orders filled by Quartermaster Logistics (QML) while those in Europe and the UK will have their orders fulfilled by Publisher Technology Solutions (PTS). 

QML will be working with fulfillment companies in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, South America, and all other locations. Those books are on their way to the final fulfillment centers. Aetherworks will be overseeing final fulfillment in Australia and New Zealand, while VFI will oversee fulfillment in Asia and other Pacific areas. 

As a reminder, on June 19th the fulfillment companies sent out final address checks for backers. If you did not get your final address check and you need to make changes to your address, please email [email protected] if you are in a QML-serviced area or use this contact form if you are in a PTS-serviced area. 

Also, if you received a damaged product, please reach out to the fulfillment company overseeing your area. 

If more than one week goes by without a response from the fulfillment company, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can follow up with them.

Shipping and Fulfillment Updates
Hello, everyone! I have some updates for you on the Wages of Sin campaign!

First, the final PDFs are available to download now! If you have not received the PDFs on your pledge manager, please send us an email at [email protected]. We have had some feedback regarding the readability of pages 24 and 25 in the PDFs. I wanted to let you know that I have sent your comments along to the design team. 

We also had some folks ask for more details on shipping. I checked with the team for more precise information. First, folks in the United States will have their orders filled by Quartermaster Logistics (QML). As of today, QML is working on getting stock cleared through customs and then will be working on fulfillment! 

For folks based in Europe and the UK, your fulfillment will be done by Publisher Technology Solutions (PTS). Fulfillment for Europe and the UK has begun!

QML will be working with fulfillment companies in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, South America, and all other locations to send orders to each region’s specific fulfillment hub. It will likely take a month for the fulfillment hubs in those areas to get the books. Aetherworks will be overseeing final fulfillment in Australia and New Zealand, while VFI will oversee fulfillment in Asia and other Pacific areas. 

On June 19th, the fulfillment companies sent out final address checks for backers. If you did not get your final address check and you need to make changes, please email [email protected] if you are in a QML-serviced area or use this contact form if you are in a PTS-serviced area. 

Shipping should have been charged by now. We were also made aware of a shipping notification error. Folks who only received supply pods or only ordered PDFs received shipping payment notifications. Those were sent in error and folks should not have been charged. If you did receive a charge in error, please send us an email at [email protected] 

Additionally, some of you probably have cards that are outdated, which we attempted to charge but the charge did not go through. You’ll receive a notification from Backerkit if this concerns you, but please get your payment information updated as quickly as possible. We are starting fulfillment, and we don’t want you to get left out. As always, contact us at [email protected] if you have an issue.

Last, Supply Pods will also be shipped with fulfillment!

We appreciate your patience greatly. We are so excited to get the books into your hands. I will be providing more updates as I have more information. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. As always, thanks for reading and supporting TKG!

Final PDFs and Address Update Information
Hello and happy Tuesday, everyone! This is a big week for the Wages of Sin campaign. So, let’s jump in!

First, we are happy to let you know that the final PDFs of Wages of Sin are now available for download. So, if your pledge included the PDFs and you’re eager to take a look at the final version, you can find them on Backerkit now.

Second, we’ve had quite a few folks reach out about address updates. Our fulfillment company should be emailing the final address checks this Friday, June 19th. So keep an eye out for that email if you need to make any changes.

Last, we are stoked to let you know that the books should be arriving at the warehouse this week! That means fulfillment should be starting this month. Some folks have asked about international orders. Being that we will be sending books to the international hubs, folks living outside of the United States may not receive their books as quickly. However, we will be getting the ball rolling on all fulfillment as soon as possible. 

Before we go, let’s take one more look at these beautiful books…


We sincerely appreciate your support of this campaign. The TKG team is very excited for everyone to receive their orders. We hope you love Wages of Sin as much as we do!

I will be popping in to give more updates as we get started on fulfillment. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!

Project Update: Shipping Charges and Timeline
Hello, Everyone!

We are in June! Here's a quick update on shipping-


Update to the update! I had folks ask for a text summary. Sorry, everyone! Long story short, the books should arrive early this month and we should start fulfillment later this month. Due to global events, some folks may see an increase in shipping when it is charged next week. Not every country is affected. Most increases fall between $5-20, but the highest would see an increase by $29.

Last, another look at Wage of Sin, Wages of Sin Deluxe, and Megadamage.




As always, send us an email at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thanks for supporting TKG!
