Luke has put in a lot of work since these notes were first written and we’re excited to share more in future updates. As always, we appreciate your support of all things TKG! Please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected] if you have any questions or problems. Thanks for reading!
Happy Tuesday, everyone! The TKG team is excited to share a few updates with you on the Prospero’s Dream campaign.
First, just a reminder that all surveys have been sent out. If you have not received your survey in your email inbox, be sure to check your spam folder. If it still isn’t there, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will make sure you get your survey.
Last month some folks reported missing items in their pledge managers. We appreciate your patience as we worked with Backerkit to get this resolved! Everything should be showing up correctly now, but if for some reason it isn’t, please send us an email.
Finally, we are stoked to share that the Mothership 2025 Pre-Order Store is now open! Here, you can find Prospero’s Dream t-shirts, third party modules and adventures, and awesome sticker packs, patches, and postcards. You can also secure your copies of Wages of Sin and Megadamage 01.
Also, if you find any typos or issues with the items, please reach out to us at [email protected]. This is the first time Backerkit (or TKG) has done a Megapledgemanager like this and it’s not without its hurdles! Any help spotting issues and squashing bugs is GREATLY appreciated.
If you haven’t received your survey by the end of the week, make sure to check your spam folder. If you have any questions or difficulties, please reach out to Backerkit support or send us an email at [email protected]. As always, we appreciate your support of TKG and all things Mothership!
My name is Hayley and I am the new Sales & Marketing Manager at TKG! I'm always caffeinated and today I'm motivated to get you all updated on what's happening with the Prospero's Dream campaign!
First, TKG's own Luke Gearing has been working diligently to bring the three Prospero's Dream books to life. Here's what Luke has to say-
"We're in a final round of developmental editing for Mouths to Feed. This is mostly about punching everything up and making sure we're happy with the shape of things before moving on to me revising all the text. A big chunk of this has been looking at how best to present murder scenes. After that it's off to editing with Jert (editor's note: Jarrett Crader).
Last week I handed in the first draft for God Complex, which Sean is now reading through for a big developmental pass. Then that'll be in the same place.
As part of both, we're collating which elements are better moved off into Living the Dream, the third book of the set."
Along with Luke's update, we also have new art to share!
This is a work-in-progress creation by Alec Sorensen. As you may know, Alec is the award-winning artist who designed the pawns for the core set. Below is another WIP piece depicting a Chokespawn.
I will be back soon with more! I plan to check in at least monthly to give updates on the campaign and share what I am excited about. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!
Hope you all had a good holiday. Sorry I'm a little late getting this update out. Things are going great with Prospero's Dream. Luke has manuscripts out for both Mouths to Feed and God Complex, and those will be going to our editor soon for final notes. Living the Dream is being written now. Layout on the books will start in the beginning of March. House Call has been written and has a first pass on layout finished. The cardstock pawns are being illustrated currently and should be done within the month. We've started work on the poster as well. This part's pretty exciting since we've never really done a full map of the Dream. For us it'll be the first time we've really designed a city in this way. Our goal is to create something that's detailed enough to use in your game, but leaves enough room to slot in adventures and establishments that you design, generate, or pull from other modules set on the Dream. It's a great challenge, but our ship designer has been working on it for months now, so we're excited to bring it to you.
Next up we have the location cards, which we're looking to get art done for. And the warden's screen, which has art well underway and we're collating the tables together for it now. It won't be a repeat of the Core/Deluxe tables, rather it'll be focused on Prospero's Dream specific tables.
Alright, that's all for now! We're still working on the mega pledge manager, which is pretty complicated. But hopefully more news on that front soon.
If you have any issues, please don't hestitate to e-mail Tyler at [email protected]
Until next time!

Hi, I emailed support about this and I've asked on the Discord as well and have been chided for doing so. Have you guys come up with a date for the release of the Final Wages of Sin PDF to those of us that picked it up when we pledged this campaign back in October? I know the books are en route so I'm assuming that means a PDF exists. Have you guys realized a date for that yet? Please don't ask me to email support. Is this the right place to ask this question? Again, I've asked support about this and they said an update was coming about that topic. Instead the last Wages of Sin update was about the shipping costs going up. On that topic, will we see an increase in shipping costs to MM25?

Any news on the possibility of a pledge upgrade? I would love to upgrade my digital pledge to a physical one. Or even upgrade from other campaigns as well since some campaigns even offered a $1 follow pledge, but that $1 is not counting towards addons from those campaigns. Thanks.

Hi there, I tried to back the game during the campaign but believe the charge to my card failed. I was overseas at the time and wasn't able to fix this, however it seems surveys were sent and I never received one? Is it possible to still fix this? Confirmation # 1199937 This is what I see on the pledge page... "The attempt to charge your pledge did not succeed. The reason given was: Your card was declined. You will be able to fix your payment when you receive your survey for this project."
