Johnson Squared: a farcical whodunit mystery for Mothership RPG

Hey folks - thanks to the comments and messages about the missing Johnsons. 

I've investigated and it looks like Backerkit will only distribute files once surveys have been filled out. While we're waiting for those to get sent out, all backers should be able to see a link and access a copy below.

Cheers,
Eryk

Hey folks, Eryk here.

You should soon receive an email with a download link to version 0.9 of Johnson Squared! This is aaaaaaalmost print-ready - we've just got the map outstanding and need to do a round of proof-reading, but otherwise everything else you're seeing is as it will be in print. Because of reasons outlined below, this is also the "inlay" pages only, ie. it's only the interior. We're still not fully sure what shape the covers will take, so a few reference tables are missing as they'll live on the interior and outside covers. 

We're chatting to our printer, Standart Impressa, about next steps. We're actually at a slightly higher pagecount than planned (72) which puts us in a funny position of being too big for staples. I decided to go for an exposed spine binding which would lean into Johnson's corporate aesthetic, but our printer is now investigating whether we're actually not thick enough for that kind of binding. We'll keep you in the loop on this! The exposed spine would mean we could get a nice blue thread binding to match the colour profile of the rest of the book which would be pretty dope.

Surveys will be going out this week, though we've elected to charge for shipping later. The recent tariff news from the US are worrying, but from what I know, should leave us mooooostly unaffected. Though for now, who knows what the US government will do.

Have a great week,
Eryk

Greetings future Janus Corp™ Contractors!

As Spring approaches, the coming of our Johnsons is close at hand... That is to say, we are on track for shipping in April.

Many thanks,
Crew of Johnson2

Greetings future Janus Corp™ Employees!

We've put our heads together and got the Johnsons onto paper, the first draft is complete! The manuscript has been sent to our dear friend Chris Air for editing and we're excited to be able to share the results with you.

But it's not enough to just read about them, we have to think about the look of our Johnsons too, and layout designer Eryk will be working on that process in the coming weeks.

We're hoping to have Johnson² into print in February and into your hands shortly after.

But that's not all! We raised just over 4 times our Bakcerkit goal, and to say a huge thank you to you all Janus Corp™ has approved the release of a player handout. Wardens, you will now be able to hand over an official and legally binding* Janus Corp™ NDA to crew members at the table. Make sure their commitment to the mission is iron clad, and in writing!

So that's on our to-do list! We'll send out a .pdf to all backers so you can print these at home. 



Chat soon,
Johnson Crew

*Not at all legally binding.
