Pre-Final Draft released!
6 months ago – Thu, Oct 23, 2025 at 09:51:48 PM

Hey gang,

You should have just now received an e-mail notifying you that we've updated your PDF copy of Wages of Sin to the pre-final draft! We’ve already received a round of feedback from our proofreaders and are implementing those fixes now, but before we lock it all in, we’re releasing it to you for any final notes. If you don't get an e-mail, just log into backerkit to grab your downloads. It should just replace the old file. You're looking for v0.2.

Help us kill the last bugs

If you spot any typos, formatting issues, or other errors, please let us know using this Google Form. Many of you have caught some fantastic details in past releases, and it’s helped us ship cleaner, sharper books. We can’t thank you enough. It really helps. You have until Friday, October 31 to get those notes in so we can implement them before sending the files to print.

While You’re Here — The Dream Returns

If you haven’t already, check out Prospero’s Dream, our newest campaign boxed set and centerpiece of this year’s Mothership Month. Every project in the event has funded, and together they expand the Dream into this just amazingly cool shared setting. You can check that out here. If you loved A Pound of Flesh, you'll love this.





Alright, that's all for now! Thank you as always for your support and patience. If you have any issues, be sure to e-mail Tyler at [email protected] and we'll get you squared away.

Production Update
6 months ago – Tue, Sep 30, 2025 at 09:05:55 AM

Hey gang,

First off, thank you for sticking with us. Things are going well on our end—we’re back on track and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

That said, we need to delay fulfillment one last time. Our new window is Q1 2026, and if everything goes the way it’s lining up now, we’re aiming to start earlier rather than later.

So what happened? A couple of big things:

  • We had a major computer breakdown recently that set us behind a bit.
  • At the same time, the ongoing tariff situation meant we had to reshuffle manufacturers and shipping solutions more than once.

The good news is those problems are behind us. We’re back in motion, and our final files are scheduled for review on October 10. Shortly after that, we’ll be sending all backers a pre-print PDF so you can see exactly what’s going to press.

We know another delay is frustrating, and we’re deeply sorry to ask for more patience. We’ve been doing everything we can to get this project across the finish line, and we don’t take lightly the trust you’ve put in us.

A couple cool things we've been able to add with the extra time. A lot of you were asking for a map of all bounties and we're happy to say we've put one together. This makes Wages of Sin not just a huge utility for your games, but also a complete campaign setting that you can plug into if you want. This map will be on the inside back cover of the book (replacing the images of the bounty hunters previously there). It took a lot of work to put this together and we're really excited about it.



Okay, that's what we've got for now. If you run into any issues with your pledge, please reach out to Tyler at [email protected] and he’ll take care of you.

Thank you again for your support and understanding—we can’t wait to get this in your hands.

Only 48 Hours Left to Pre-Order (and purchase add-ons)!
8 months ago – Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 09:12:26 AM

Hey gang,

Just a reminder that we will close the Pledge Manager in 48 hours. You'll have until Friday the 15th of August to finalize pre-orders and add-ons (we will close it early Saturday morning to account for time differences and stragglers).

If you qualified for the Supply Pod and / or the Early Bird rewards, please note that changing or updating your Backerkit order may cause them to disappear from your order — this is fine! The items are still tied to your account, and once the pledge manager is locked we'll be going over pledges to re-add them to your orders.

Thanks!

--Sean

🎉 We Won 3 Gold ENnies + 🥩 Mothership Month 2025
8 months ago – Wed, Aug 06, 2025 at 07:50:15 PM

Hey gang,

We’ve got some big news from Gen Con—we won THREE Gold ENnie Awards!

  • 🏆 Best Production Values – Mothership Deluxe Set
  • 🏆 Best Supplement – Warden's Operations Manual
  • 🏆 Best Digital Aid or Accessory – Mothership Companion App VTT

We’re absolutely blown away and incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone who voted and helped make this happen—it means the world to us.


Project Status Update

Wages of Sin has officially moved from layout into proofreading. Huge thanks to everyone who sent in feedback—it’s made a big difference. We’re still on track to begin fulfillment in Q3.

Pledge Manager Closing Soon
As we head into production, we'll also be closing our Pledge Manager. You'll have until Friday the 15th of August to finalize pre-orders and add-ons. If you’ve been meaning to finalize your order, now’s the time!

If you qualified for the Supply Pod and / or the Early Bird rewards, please note that changing or updating your Backerkit order may cause them to disappear from your order — this is fine! The items are still tied to your account, and once the pledge manager is locked we'll be going over pledges to re-add them to your orders.

  • 👉 Quick reminder: Shipping will be charged later once rates and timelines are finalized.


Mothership Month Returns!

We’ve had a lot of folks asking—so yes, Mothership Month is coming back!

This year we’re running it from mid-October to mid-November. That’ll be close to the Wages of Sin shipping window, but we feel strongly about keeping this an annual tradition. We've got even more projects lined up than last year, and we'll be revealing the final lineup soon as well as the theme for this year (hint: it's been a dream of ours for years).

We’re also working closely with BackerKit and our fulfillment partners on a potential shipping solution that could be a game-changer. Stay tuned.

As always, if you have questions or need help, email Tyler at [email protected] and he’ll get you sorted.

Thanks again for all your support—we couldn’t do this without you.

Wages of Sin Backer Draft v0.1 available for download!
9 months ago – Fri, Jul 04, 2025 at 09:45:58 AM



Hey gang,

We’re releasing the Wages of Sin Backer Draft v0.1 today! You should be receiving an e-mail shortly, otherwise just login to your backerkit account and you'll find it. This version contains all content everything except the ODC Prison Complex section at the end of the book. A few diagrams and maps are still in progress, but the rest of the book is ready for your eyes. I'm gonna pass things over to our Creative Director, Adam, who can explain more about the draft:

Hi backers! I’m Adam, Creative Director at TKG and first off I’ve got to thank y’all. The success of Wages & Mothership Month is what helped Sean and Alan feel confident enough to bring me on full-time, so cheers to all of you. I’m super excited for you to get your hands on this (and to see what we have coming…)

Wages is a beast. When the manuscript was handed off to me at the beginning of the year, I knew I had something incredible in my hands. We thought it might be a 200-page book at first. Nope! At 320+ pages (and counting), Wages of Sin has nearly as many pages as the entire Mothership catalog combined, and definitely has more NPCs and location maps.

As mentioned in a previous update, you'll see some elements in this draft that are marked "scan incomplete", etc. Sean and I will be tag-teaming the remaining visuals throughout the rest of the month, but we wanted to get the majority of the content in your hands in the meantime. Just in time for your traditional 4th of July Mothership-by-fireworks sessions.

Additionally, and critically, the book has not gone through PDF remediation yet. So the final version will have hyperlinks and be optimized for PDF readers, etc. 

Where do I find the download?

You'll receive an e-mail link, but if you don't, then you should check your Backerkit Survey. To find that you can search your e-mail, or click on your profile picture on the Backerkit website > Your pledges & Surveys > Your Surveys > Mothership: Wages of Sin > Go to page: Digital Downloads > Wages of Sin Backer Draft > Download. If you have trouble, be sure to e-mail Tyler for support.


Feedback

Okay so! We’re sharing this draft now so you can start reading and send us any feedback, notes, or proofreading catches you may have.

We’ve set up a Google Form to collect all your notes in one place. That’s the best place to leave your thoughts—not in the comments, Discord, or via email—since we’ll be reviewing all responses together and organizing them for final edits.

Please send your feedback here.

Future Backer Draft Updates

We're getting close to the end now, so we’ll update the Backer Draft file with the ODC content once it’s finalized, and send another update when that’s ready.

Thanks again for your support, and as always, reach out to Tyler at [email protected] if you need anything.

Until next time!
