How do I know I am receiving the signed Finding Mirrorman Early Backer Incentive?
As long as you pledge for *any tier before 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time on Friday August 02, 2024 then you will receive it!
It will appear in your cart once you have access to the post campaign pledge manager, which is sent to backers about 1 month after the campaign ends.
*No Reward and Digital Only tiers will have the option to receive the early backer reward in the Pledge Manager, that way if they decide to switch tiers then they will not loose tier reward. As with all physical items, shipping will then be added to their pledge in the Pledge Manager.

If I change my pledge will I lose my early backer incentive?
Not as long as you change to another physical pledge! The time you make your initial pledge is always time stamped with your pledge, so even if you upgrade your pledge tier we will always be able to associate you with the first 2-day backer group.

How will PDFs be delivered?
All PDFs will be available as a digital download via BackerKit. Backers will be notified via email when the PDFs included with their pledge are available for download.

Will I be able to change my pledge after the campaign has ended?
Yes! You will have the ability to change your pledge via the Pledge Manager, which will open after the campaign ends.

Do I need Ultraviolet Grasslands to play Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine?
No, they are two parts of the Vastlands setting.

Is glod misspelled?
No. It’s a tribute.

Do I need the Vastlands Guidebook to play Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine?
No. While the Guidebook presents a loose and creative old school system for use with Our Golden Age, Ultraviolet Grasslands, and other strange, mind-bending worlds at the end of time, it is not required. You can easily adapt the setting and adventures to most old school or d20 based game systems, such as Old School Essentials.

Do I really need the gold box?
Good question. Don’t you?

Are you reissuing the Ultraviolet Grasslands eyeburner dice?
We have no plans right now, but who knows … maybe with a stretch goal?

Is the Grand Map of the Circle Sea compatible with the Grand Long Map of the Ultraviolet Grasslands?
If you mean whether it covers the same places, yes. But it’s not designed to fit seamlessly together. The Grand Map of the Circle Sea is square. The Grand Long Map is, well, long.

Does the Vastlands Guidebook use the system known as S.E.A.C.A.T. from the first edition of the Ultraviolet Grasslands?
No, it uses SDM - synthetic dream machine - an offshoot. SDM is available for free in web page and pdf form (and I don’t have the link on me right now, hang on)

I just want to get a free Vastlands Guidebook pdf.
It’ll be up soon here and on exaltedfuneral.com and on drivethrurpg and on itch.io and the stratometaship patreon. It’s just undergoing some final polishing and Luka has to attach the cover. Throw nice emojis at him to make him work faster.
Last updated: July 30, 2024 20:13
Are all the books ready for print?
No. The Vastlands Guidebook is ready, but Luka is still trimming, tucking, and illustrating Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine. He was allowed 250 pages for the book and he’s over that limit. It’s his own fault.
Last updated: July 30, 2024 20:14
What could go wrong with this project?
Well, it’s the work of one writer and illustrator, so if he’s hit by a very small bus that puts him in hospital with a minor injury, or if he has to suddenly spend more time taking care of his baby or his dog or his wife, you know, that’s delays right there. Ropes and players and all that!

Is that Deep Thought from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?
No. That’s the Temple of the Personalized Noösphere. A place where the immortal humans of long ago could go to live forever in digispiritual immaculate perfection.

Do I need the cards?
Does a person need anything? No, but maybe you want them?
Last updated: July 30, 2024 20:15
Ok, what do the cards do?
They present characters, places, and items for the Nemesis Ministry story arc in Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine. They also work as a random generator for NPCs, item and technomagical powers. Finally, it is not confirmed that they also work as a bonus card game you can play when your PCs are too tired to roleplay.

I saw somewhere that Finding Mirrorman has an alternate reverse side. Can I see it?
Not yet because Luka still has to draw it.

Is there a playlist?
There are four. Polis - for the starting area and peaceful downtime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzVEWmi_27U&list=PL1CCI2wbN8ijbFkzWLuHXrWrpl_8DFzNh
Road - for the travel sections. Complements the UVG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tPsaSPraks&list=PL1CCI2wbN8iib7vW3KnHttRCXBv-M-TxB
Agony - for the conflicts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVzcJbfoN2w&list=PL1CCI2wbN8iinAnvHAPp9xJ2nhXs_4CHf
Jubilee - for the really weird times when players meet the Builders and the Daemons and other weirdoes at the end of time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la3y-i0qu7Q&list=PL1CCI2wbN8ijwM_D3hJvz7Q5NvaYfn7BM&index=5

I want to play Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine with Troika, the Other World’s Fantasy RPG [or insert other rpg system]. Is that possible?
That should be pretty easy. There’s a Troika adaptation of the Ultraviolet Grasslands already. Go for it.

I want to adapt it for System of My Choice!
Go wild, just make sure to share alike, give credit and reference your sources. We like to see folks having fun, hacking and sharing our games. The Vastlands Guidebook has a third party license based on Mörk Borg’s with more details.

Does that mean I can reuse art and text?
Nope, not directly. Think fair use. You can quote parts of the text or use an illustration by providing its source and context. As for reselling the art and text? That’s a no.
Last updated: July 30, 2024 20:18
Is Our Golden Age and the Mother Machine a sequel or a prequel?
Yes. … Ok, roll d6: (1) it’s happening Long Long Ago (2) it’s happening Long Ago (3-4) it’s happening at the sameish time as the Ultraviolet Grasslands. (5) it’s happening in the Nearmorrow (6) it’s happening in the Longmorrow … That’s a table from the start of the book. The goal is to leave the setting open by design, so each table creates and experiences its own flavor of the Vastlands. It also hopefully removes some burden from the GM’s shoulders on “making everything fit together flawlessly”.

Are you saying it’s an anticanon expansion.
Probably that’s one way to put it, yes.

Some of these questions don’t sound like they’re asked frequently.
Ah! Well, on a long enough time scale, all questions are asked infinite times …

Will you apologize for the bad puns?
Never.

Current Estimated Shipping Date: August 2025
Last Updated At: 10/01/24What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
