Good news: the infestation reaches foreign shores.

Our WORMS! WORMS! WORMS! inventory has arrived at our US fulfillment partner, and we expect European inventory to arrive in the UK within the next 10 days. US fulfillment should begin by the end of September, with European fulfillment following in early October. Packages are expected to reach US and European backers in October as planned.

As a reminder, all digital rewards have been delivered through BackerKit and DriveThruRPG. If you're missing anything or having trouble accessing your rewards, email us at [email protected] and we'll get you sorted out.

While the worms finish spreading, our next Mothership adventure is preparing to launch!

Temporal Tides is a new 44-page Mothership 1E adventure zine. It's a pressure-cooker sandbox packed with faction conflicts, rumours, random tables, and ticking clocks ready to explode.

A "simple recovery job" leads to Sutki Station, a black-market salvage station where everything is already going wrong. A stolen alien artifact is warping spacetime. Workers are unionizing, mercenaries are cracking down, and a half-lobotomized android is building an army of kill bots for bloody revenge.

This Kickstarter campaign lets you get the all-new zine, plus a chance to pick up extras from the Terry Herc Games back catalogue.

More than 300 people are already waiting for launch. Follow Temporal Tides on Kickstarter now and you'll be notified when we go live!

Good news: the infestation is officially spreading.

Digital fulfillment is complete through both BackerKit and DriveThruRPG! You can access your digital rewards on both platforms. If you're having any issues finding or accessing your digital rewards, please email us at [email protected] and we will get you sorted out.

Physical fulfillment is also underway. All packages for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia have now shipped, and some Canadian backers have already received their rewards. Transit times to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia are expected to be about 6 weeks.

The next wave is moving too. Inventory for the United States and Europe is currently in transit to our regional fulfillment partners, where the remaining rewards will be packed and shipped locally. We expect those shipments to arrived toward the end of August, with regional fulfillment beginning shortly afterwards.

We are still on track for backers to receive their physical rewards within our planned October fulfillment timeline.

It’s great to finally see boxes leaving the building and landing in people’s hands. Thanks again for your patience while we worm our way through these last segments of fulfillment, and thanks for feeding the outbreak.

Hi everyone,

A few backers have raised a fair concern about the campaign's shipping costs. We understand that $30 CAD is a significant charge, particularly along side a $30 CAD reward. We're sorry that it came as an unpleasant surprise.

We are subsidizing the actual shipping costs and capped the amount charged at $15 CAD within Canada and $30 for all other regions. Even with that subsidy, we recognize that the revised cost may not work for everyone.

We will process full or partial refunds to anyone who requests one, no questions asked. Please email us at [email protected] by July 28th 2026 with the subject line Worms Refund Request, and include your name and BackerKit account email address.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

-Terry Herc

Good news: the worms are almost ready to move.

This week, we’ll be charging shipping for backers with physical rewards. Before that happens, you will receive a 48-hour notice by email which lets you update your payment details if needed.

Once shipping is collected, we’ll lock addresses. Backers will have an additional 48 hours to update addresses before we lock those and move into fulfillment. We’ll also be sending digital rewards through DriveThruRPG around that time.

Rising shipping costs have affected all physical shipments. We’ve made every effort to keep costs as low as possible, but fuel prices, global conflicts, VAT/tariffs, new regional import rules, and other input costs have pushed shipping higher than originally expected.

To help soften that impact, we are subsidizing shipping for backers and capping the amount charged at:

This is not ideal, and it is a difficult time for small businesses, but this is the reality of moving physical goods right now. We’ve done everything we can to keep the final cost to you as low as possible.

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work through the final logistics. And thanks for feeding the outbreak,

Good news: the infestation has arrived locally.

After a bit of a delay on the import side, all WORMS! WORMS! WORMS! product has now arrived here in Calgary. That means we have the box sets and physical add-ons in hand, and we’re moving into the final fulfillment steps!

Right now we’re working on finalizing international shipping costs. There have been some recent cost changes for certain regions, so we are reviewing impacted areas before we charge backers. Our goal is to keep shipping costs as low as possible for everyone.

Once final shipping costs are locked in, we will charge shipping for backers with physical rewards, lock down addresses, and move into physical fulfillment. We will also deliver digital rewards through DriveThruRPG around that time.

Thanks again for your patience while we work through the logistics. We’re getting closer to getting physical rewards out the door!

Thanks for feeding the outbreak,
