What brought you here and why did you pledge? 🎲
Hey all, welcome to the Interloper Backerkit, let's see where it goes! I was also interested in hearing what made you interested in backing this sandbox murder mystery project?
I'll try to keep the main updates limited to every few days to keep your Mothership Month email load down, but we've really been shooting up fast. At the pace this is going, this is headed towards being the biggest Silverarm crowdfunding campaign ever! Thanks an absolute heap for that, this has been a surreal week.
I've got a few more sweet stretch goals I'm going to throw into the ring but want to make sure they fit well with the production plan. Too many crowdfunding campaigns have been dashed against the rocks of their own wild success by adding too many new stretch goals to a wildly successful campaign and I would like to avoid that.
First one, if we get to 75k, we'll be releasing an Interloper Original Soundtrack album for your enjoyment.
Here's the soundtracks on Spotify for previous releases for Desert Moon of Karth, Abilities Considered Unnatural, Tide World of Mani, and The Shrike. Abilities Considered Unnatural isn't up on Spotify yet but here's a link to the album to peruse along with the rest. We're leaning towards a sort of brooding space noir sound with synths, pianos, and some guitar for this next one but specifics are still up in the air.
Early on we decided we wanted to move away from doing ambient looped longform audio tracks to play over the whole session with the module soundtrack. It seemed like that type of music was already well served by heaps of awesome creators like Tabletop Audio who specialize in that kind of diegetic environmental music.
Instead we went for maximum v i b e s for more of a movie soundtrack type experience that fits each module's mood. With previous albums I've heard from folks that dig listening to it on their commute, in the background while preparing the game for GM inspiration, or playing a select track or two as a closer or opener in their session.
These boppin' albums are the result of the hard work and creative excellence of Eric Hines (Coyote Coast), Kevin Gundlach, and guest appearances by Matti Joy, and Broden Farazmand. Check them out and hit them up if you're looking for some sweet artists for your game music projects.
The Bastion of the Barren Five add-on stood out to me, and I realize now it's because Bastion of the Barren Six was included in the pledge I made earlier this year for The Shrike. It doesn't seem there was any information about Bastion of the Barren Six included in the Kickstarter campaign for The Shrike, though, unlike the brief description for Bastion of the Barren Five we have here. So a few questions:
What is Bastion of the Barren Six?
How are Five and Six related? Are they part of a series of brochures? If so, do One, Two, Three, and Four already exist? Why is Five coming after Six?
I'm absolutely blown away by the pace you've been stacking up the pledges on Interloper. Thanks so much for your support and keeping me able to keep on trucking away at more neat sandbox modules. Let's get you some more cool stuff for your sci-fi murder mystery module.
First you've crushed the first stretch goals so far. I'll be releasing several digital evidence handouts to print out for your players, all illustrations and assets in the zine will be released as separate files for use on VTTs or whatever you want to use them for, and finally all physical Interloper books will have Smyth Sewn binding which ensures years of longevity and a higher quality page flipping experience for your table.
Second, all Mothership Month projects have funded! This means all physical tier backers will receive this bonus Forsythe Bot patch for free.
Stay tuned for additional updates and Stretch Goals (or Achievements as Backerkit likes to call them) as we voyage beyond the point of no return this Mothership Month.
