I received this in some newsletter, and I didn't know what it was. Took me a while. Need more coffee, I guess. Or maybe I was drifting without comms whenever the previous event happened, and I just couldn't know.

But apparently, Mothership Month has returned:

Basically, it's a bunch of crowdfunding campaigns, all centered on Mothership. Some discounts apply to early backers.

And it seems like some rewards are unlocked depending on the number of campaigns that become funded.

Maybe I should have drawn this at roughly the same scale as the cities... but I thought about it after the fact.

Time to test a new thing... castles!

Part of the plan is to be able to make geomorphs/tiles and place them in a somewhat coherent way.

The tricky part is the edges. In the city drawings I've been making, it makes sense that the edges of the paper are streets, that way it makes sense to join any two tiles.

But with castles? I'm not sure yet. Take the posted image: sure, corridors may join, but what about the walls? If I put another room on the bottom, the walls don't align. Maybe I can argue that it opens up the possibility for hidden passages, and at the moment, I'm happy with that. We'll see what happens when I amass a few more tiles.

For my Mongoose 2E campaign, I made my own custom GM screen, with only the stuff I found myself needing on a regular basis. It's 3 landscape pages, designed to be put in a customizable GM screen.

You can download a PDF copy, and the original Affinity files I created it with, here: https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2025/10/09/a-custom-gm-screen-for-traveller/

Ah, the age old discussion... Is this even a map? Guess I'll argue that its an isometric battlemap.

I've avoided posting news concerning the previous kickstarter because backers already receive notifications, and I thought non-backers couldn't get on board at the moment.

But apparently, if you preorder, you also get access to the Beta versions released this week:

From the campaign:

This dark odyssey guides you through a brutal and unsettling journey of self-discovery as you confront the darkness lurking in your past. Crafted in the style of a "choose your own adventure" book, Deep Waters serves as an introduction to KULT: Divinity Lost's rule system, exploring Dark Secrets, Disadvantages, and Moves while offering a tantalizing glimpse behind the veil.

and on The Seeker's Testament:

Building upon the foundation of our long sold-out Player's Guide, this expanded hardcover edition features 30 pages of new material designed to immerse players in KULT's atmosphere without revealing too much of the truth that lies beneath. Perfect for character creation sessions and as a quick reference for Advantages and Disadvantages, this is a book you can confidently share with your players.
