Have you decided on what level of backer will get Beta access?
I really enjoyed being part of the beta group for Sunless Sea

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

It won't be connected with backer level this time! We'll manage it separately - more news after the KS is over.

Please don't tie it directly to a backer's social media activity. I detest social media and would be saddened that I couldn't participate over that sort of requirement.

Any plans for whether the game will be as modable as Sunless Sea?

A further question: from the Diabolical Pack upwards, it appears that backers will have access to 2 copies of Sunless Skies and 2 Kickstarter-exclusive scouts. My question is whether the 2nd copy of Sunless Skies can be gifted to a friend, and if so, will that person receive the 2nd Kickstarter-exclusive Scout as well?
I have a friend who wishes he could back Sunless Skies but can't due to financial constraints, so I figured that if I got the Diabolical Pack, I could gift him base game plus the Scout. Would be cool if he could get the Mascot as well, but given that the Diabolical Pack seems to include just the one Mascot, I assume that isn't the case?

That's the idea! Two copies of the game with the Scout, to be used as backers see fit.
It doesn't seem clear right now whether only one Mascot is intended, but hopefully that'll be clarified in the full Kickstarter.

I'm not sure why we'd tie it to someone's level of activity on social media - have you seen another studio doing that? At most we would tweet to let backers know that there's an opportunity to get involved with the beta, but given that we have Kickstarter messaging to communicate to backers, we'll mostly use that.

The idea is that everyone who gets a copy of the game through the Kickstarter, either by backing directly or receiving a gift, gets a copy that has the Kickstarter exclusive Scout. The Mascot is at a higher tier, so it's just for the backer.

Unfortunately, I have. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy with the attempted forcing of followers and likes and whatnot to inflate their social media accounts with otherwise paid-for products held hostage.

will there be a chance to add a pledge rewarding the backer with the OSTs of Fallen London, Sunless Sea as well as the upcoming Sunless Skies?

Will the T-shirt be a kickstarter exclusive or will it eventually come to the failbetter shop? Also, will the game be for every OS eventually, like Sunless Sea? Finally, if Drownies are those who believe they have drowned, what do you call those who believe they have been exposed to vacuum?

Ah, well. We wouldn't tie that to beta access. But we do have some social goals related to people following us, because some backers are happy to do it and others can't back at all, but can follow us to contribute.

Probably not, because we haven't yet signed contracts with our composer to also do Sunless Skies. They're available on bandcamp anyhow though!

The t-shirt is exclusive to the campaign. The game will be for Mac, Windows and Linux at release. (Don't ask me, I'm not a writer, I have gone halfway to ground trying to finish this Kickstarter, and would only say something stupid like what you're all thinking.)

I'm not enthusiastic about it, unsurprisingly, but still very, very grateful that each individual backer does not have to participate in order to gain this.
I occasionally do silly things for fun (such as the Valen^H^H^H^H^HFotER card to Mr. Eaten last year, but I dislike the idea of having to personally participate in a social media event to get items. Thanks for taking the time to clarify things for this curmudgeon.

After the Kickstarter is formally started, we should make a thread, under the Sunless Skies section, to share out Master costumes in order to meet the social media goal. I don't exactly have 11 cloaks or 11 friends, so we ought to share our photos on the thread and edit them together to get the 7 pictures of 11 Masters. I have costume pieces of Wines, Pages, and Veils lined up for this weekend.

And just as I was thinking where could I get those 10 other people, that's a brilliant idea here(let's hope Failbetter would accept that).

I think that they would. The Kickstarter says you can collaborate via digital means, but digital group entries must fit into one photograph, probably like a collage, and individuals can only take part in one submission.

I love Sunless Sea. It's one of my current favorites. I really want to back Sunless Skies and I was wondering if there is a possibility to add another tier between 30 and 60 that will include a t-shirt instead of a second copy of the game? I 'm on tight budget and i can't afford 75.
