♠️ What is "90 Seconds to Midnight"?

90 Seconds to Midnight is a 12pg Mothership RPG module offering Wardens/Players a "sandbox" port in the form of a sprawling casino resort colony called Midnight, the denizens that live/work/play there, and a myriad of shenanigans to get up to whilst on site. 


  • 🌃 Visit a city of sin with a population of over 20,000 liars, cheaters, and service-sector employees!
  • 🃏 Win big at 15 casino games from Blackjack to Bloody Pachinko!
  • 🎊 Indulge in a cornucopia of vice in the form of sex, drugs, and fast food!
  • 🖼 Support the arts with a trip to the museum!
  • 🔒 Support the art trade with a visit instead to the vaults of Midnight Bank to "liberate" some of the priceless paintings and sculptures secured there. They say security has gotten complacent!
  • 💰 Flex your virtuous side and deliver justice (or just to recoup your losses at the table) in the form of bounty hunting!
  • 🧛 Take a break from cosmic-horror and xeno-terror so the villains in the mirror can have a chance to shine!
  • 🌕 Meet the patient and familiar fist of nature looming above, ready to remind us of her dominance once she tires of our squirming and jeering -a way to end it all when its time for everyone's sins to catch up to them. Tick tock!
  • 🍽 And more!

Welcome to Midnight, "...where every day is a Good Night!"

♥️ The Stakes (Campaign Goals)

CAMPAIGN GOALS


My main goal with this campaign (my first crowdfunding run ever on my first module ever) is to be as forthcoming, humble, and precise as possible. This campaign will help me pay for all the design, editing, and artwork that is going into the module. Then, to get it printed and into the hands of Backers. Writing is complete (save for some editing and possible adjustments as we playtest) and I will be handling shipping so I foresee no issues in getting the project wrapped and fulfilled ASAP!

That being said, I could not do this on my own so sincerest thanks to those of you that decided to support this project by pledging your hard earned money to see its creation.


Thank you!

Me, deftly avoiding fulfillment delays of any kind

♦️ The Deal (Timeline, Fulfillments, and Shipping)

TIMELINE/FULFILLMENT/SHIPPING

Timeline:

As with any campaign like this, there are inherent and potentially unavoidable risks that could see a delay in getting the product into the hands of backers. I am mitigating this by getting as many agreements down on the backend before the campaign even closes, limiting planned Achievements, and setting realistic expectations for fulfillment (detailed below):


  1. November 12th - Campaign Opens
  2. December 10th - Campaign Closes
  3. January 2025 - All assets in, layout nearing completion
  4. February 2025 - Ready to print and fulfillment begins

The above is subject to change of course but those are my personal targets and I'm going to do everything I can to meet or beat them. I will share updates along the way should anything change substantially.




Fulfillment & Shipping:

Digital fulfillment will be handled on BackerKit and assets will be sent to Backers as soon as they are finalized.

Physical fulfillment will be handled by myself and will be *limited to the U.S and U.S Territories*. I have personally handled shipping for two companies and shipped thousands of packages and we (my wife and I) regularly ship from our home for her crafts business so I have the experience both professionally and as a casual mail enjoyer! 

Shipping & handling will be charged post campaign via BackerKit's Pledge Manager and will be weight based. I will do everything I can to keep costs low while keeping packages safe and trackable.


  • Current shipping & handling estimate: $7-$13 (subject to change).
