Life After Everything: Astro Oceans 🌊 Tarot Tabletop RPG

🌊 Sailing Toward the Next Harbor: BackerKit & Split Pay Update
7 months ago – Sat, Feb 21, 2026 at 05:06:28 PM

Hello, Celestials!

We’ve been charting our course through the administrative nebula. We wanted to pop in and let you know exactly where we are on our voyage toward bringing Life After Everything: Astro Oceans to your table.

🛠 What We’ve Been Working On
Our main focus right now is bringing the core books to life. We are deep in the process of finalizing the manuscript and have simultaneously started the detailed work of finalizing the book layout.

We're spending a lot of time making sure the flow of the pages, the readability of the rules, and the placement of the art all feel right. It's a meticulous process, but seeing it all come together is incredibly exciting.

💰 A Quick Note on BackerKit & Split Pay

Just a friendly reminder that our pledge manager on BackerKit is live and running. If you haven't had a chance to log in yet to confirm your address or check out add-ons, now's the time!

For those of you who used Split Pay: once your final payment is processed, please allow a few days for that to sync up with kickstarter. After that, you'll receive your official invitation to access the pledge manager if you haven't already.

That's the update from us for now. Back to the layout sheets and manuscript pages. We'll be back soon with a sneak peek of the books!

Thank you for your patience and your faith in us. These "in-between" moments are where the real foundation is built. We can’t wait to get you into the BackerKit system so you can see everything up close.

Until the next transmission, may the stars guide your path.

Fair winds and following seas,
Samuel

🌊 $150K UNLOCKED – Limited Edition Astro Oceans Vinyl Is Real
10 months ago – Wed, Dec 10, 2025 at 12:28:00 PM

We did it. We just sailed past $150,000, and with that, our next big treasure washes up on shore:

🎵 Limited Edition Life After Everything: Astro Oceans Vinyl

Unlocked as an add-on • Limited to 100 copies total

This is for the music lovers, the vibe collectors, and anyone who likes their adventures with a soundtrack spinning under the needle.

A Little Note From The Producer 💿

Outside of illustration and worldbuilding, making music has always been my sanctuary.
It is how I process big feelings, untangle my thoughts, and find my way back to wonder and curiosity. 

This record is my way of inviting you into that space.

Every track is built for this universe. Pianos, guitars, strange little spaceship noises, and layered harmonies stitched together into something you can put on while you:

• Journal inside the world of Astro Oceans
• Run your TTRPG sessions in this setting
• Or just sit with your thoughts and breathe for a while

Creating this album has genuinely been healing and reflective for me, and I hope I can sprinkle some of that love back to you every time the needle drops.

Limited to 100 Copies

To keep this truly special (and manageable on our end), the vinyl will be:

• Limited to 100 units total
• Available as a paid add-on once it’s live
• One run only, once these are gone, that’s it

This is designed as a collector’s piece for the folks who’ve really connected with this world and want something they can hold, spin, and keep.

For Your Week: A Few Upbeat Grooves 🎧

To celebrate unlocking this, I will be sharing a small preview: a few upbeat grooves from the record to help you get through the week.

Think of it as a mini “fuel pack” for your days until the full project arrives.

How to Get the Vinyl

Once we flip the switch on the add-on:

• Go to “Manage your pledge”
• Click “Change your pledge”
• Add the LAE: Astro Ocean Vinyl to your rewards
• Save your new pledge 🎶

We’ll clearly label it in the add-on section so you can’t miss it.
