To the Vanguard,
We’ve done it. Thanks to your incredible support, the offset print run for Space 1889: After is officially funded! The pressure gauges are steady, the engines are humming, and this book is becoming a physical reality.
Because you stepped up, we can formally guarantee the high-quality production this setting deserves. But clearing the launchpad is just the beginning of our voyage.
Next Coordinates: Our cartographers are already looking to the horizon. If we can reach our next milestone, we will unlock the
Expanded Tactical Map Book, providing your table with the exact hexagonal grids needed to navigate the Great Dark. Let's keep the pressure up!
We are letting you, our incredible backers, steer the fleet! Adventure five is officially in production, and we need your help naming the central vessel that will carry your crew through the deep ether. As members of the vanguard, the honor of christening this vessel falls to you. Will she be an imposing iron workhorse or a sleek classical explorer? Cast your vote below to permanently stamp your mark on this adventure’s hull!
Thanks again for all your support on launch day!
