With one week left in our Kickstarter campaign, I want to thank you all again for your support! Lost Highway and Westward Bound are going to be beautiful games thanks to you! We are climbing consistently towards our big chunky 30k stretch goal and I'm excited to see where we end up!
To celebrate our last days on Kickstarter, here's another art reveal: the finalized Verdant playbook! I'm so delighted in advance for this alien traveler to join your caravan.
Isn't she beautiful?
Also! We are planning an exciting event soon: our first official Last Caravan game jam! We're working on an SRD that will be under an open license agreement so that anybody can make not only content for The Last Caravan, but also design completely new games about travelers, journeys, and strange worlds to navigate.
We'll announce more details of this soon, but if you're interested in joining discussions about The Last Caravan or the system, join us on discord here!
Talk soon! Ted
Past 300%! Art Development!

Hello, travelers, and happy weekend!
We have barrelled past the 300% funded mark! Holy moly! Thank you so much.
The weather here is turning away from the muggy humidity we've had for weeks and yesterday I took a friend's electric bike out along the palisades. The weather was perfect and it served as an ideal brainstorming activity for The Last Caravan and our continuing work. No reveals from that yet, but I'll be sharing some cool stuff soon!
Speaking of cool stuff, we have a sketch of our next Aernian character imprint for Lost Highway. The Verdant is an alien naturalist and wildwalker. "You carried Aern's beauty with you across the abyss. Now, you will try to preserve the natural world by any means necessary."
I'm so delighted by this one's vibe -- the peaceful hiker posture, the little satchel at her side, the ecosystem backpack?? Honestly nuts.
And of course I love this reference as well.
Have a great weekend! Chat more on the other side!
New Adventures Unlocked!

I'm glad to announce we've passed yet another stretch goal! This will add a pair of rich new adventures into both expansions -- the Trashworld region for Westward Bound and the Blackwall Correctional Scenario for Lost Highway!
Our next goal is a bit more of a jump, but I'm very excited for all the incredible art we'll be able to commission as we get there.
Other milestones are all around -- we're now far past our original campaign's funding level, and we're close to hitting 300%.
Here's a few more bits about the game from around the internet!
The Last Caravan Is Rolling Forward

We're now five days in on this thing, and rolling quickly towards 300% funded. We're hard at work on development over here and having a blast.
Check out this delightful piece for Westward Bound by Galen Pejeau!
We're getting more folks hopping onto the Mythworks discord and engaging. You can always post questions and comments here on the kickstarter page, but if you want to access the brilliant other members of the community, come say hello!
I'm also announcing our next stretch goal! At 30,000, we're going to be able to fund a whole bunch of new art from our amazing crew of Last Caravan artists. Art direction and commissioning is the most fun part of this entire process, and we've been incredibly lucky to work with people with wonderful imaginations, who care about this game and its message.
See you all around! Talk soon!

Stretch Goal 3 - Homeworld Song
7 months ago

Hello, travelers!
We have passed our third stretch goal, unlocking some new alien lore as well as the secret alien solo journalling game Homeworld Song. This section of the game is intended to be viable as its own evocative sc-fi game experience, but will also be the perfect way to generate deep, complex alien character histories and NPCs!
I wanted to share a little bit of the lore we're working on. All this is WIP, but zoom in there and you'll learn some interesting things about the planet of Aern where the invaders come from!
Our next stretch goal is at 23k -- we'll be announcing new stretch goals soon. In the meantime, check out this awesome animation Breno Macedo and Emanoel Melo of the (work in progress! art not final!) Satchel Box and expansions!
Have a great day! As always, hit me up with all questions and concerns!
