Hi everyone! 

Thanks for your patience while Kickstarter sorted out the funding, this has now arrived and I've got Backerkit set up to process late pledges and the postage costs.

I'm still hoping to tip things over the £1500 final stretch goal and include the tiny little spaceships, and we're so close I can almost see it happening!!!


Before that though, I'll need to know I've set up the postage costs for where everyone is in the world. 


Could anyone not mentioned below please give me a quick message to let me know if I've missed your country off the list please?


I've got the UK, USA, Mexico, Europe, Brazil, and Australia so far. 


All the best,


Paul Cat

Genuinely, this last month has been at times really stressful, learning to market a book that has been a passion project for so long and finally see come to fruition, taking on constructive criticism and making amendments based on them, doing interviews to speak about it, in more detail, creating a chopped down demo version for free download, and constantly worrying that this thing I've sunk so much time and effort into was all for  nothing... and this is the point where I'm wondering if people might actually like to play the daft game I wrote. 


This is a deep, heartfelt gratitude to all 75 backers. I can stop advertising now and get on with wrangling artists, editing, and figuring out the postage cost to add on for Canada!


You can expect the book to arrive around May 2021, however if it's ready before that I'll let you all know! 


You are all amazing and have made this dream a reality for me. 

Paul Cat.

Live interview shortly!

From the 'Dark Orb' webpage - Join us on Tuesday 27th October at 7 PM (GMT) for an interview with author Paul Cat about the amazing independent RPG “Weirdspace” that is currently funding on Kickstarter; as well as how he keeps creative during the lockdown and if he really is a cat.


16 years in the making, the sci-fi game “Weirdspace” uses the BRP style approach of an awesome roll-under system as well as crazy tables, in-your-face gameplay and featuring the humour and wit of your favourite Red Dwarf/Terry Pratchett/Douglas Adams/Farscape mashup TV-show-that-never-happened. This game deserves to be a hit.

I'm continuing to be blown away by the support for my game, 

the free version on DrivethruRPG has had almost 300 downloads 

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/319214


and we are getting closer and closer to having the STL file of the Ganso spaceship released as part of this!!!

Recently I printed off a few test pieces and sent them out to friends asking that they customise them, 

Here are some photos that I got back

If getting your hands on one of these unmodified ships and customising it yourself sounds good, please share this Kickstarter and push this over £1000! 

If we can manage to get this over £1500, I'll have the funds to print them myself and mail them out to everyone who's pledged for a physical copy.


Thanks again for backing!!!
