Jovian Whispers is a campaign and sourcebook for the Shadows Over Sol roleplaying game. It follows up on the mystery of the Jupiter Group Incident, in which all four Jovian colonies went suddenly and inexplicably silent. No one knows the cause of this mysterious event, but somewhere in the dark and ruined colonies of Jupiter the Insurrection Virus uses its clanking machines to plot the downfall of all humanity...

Hello Jovian Whispers backers!
Earlier today we uploaded and released the final Jovian Whispers PDF. You can download the updated file directly from DriveThruRPG.
We also sent out all four One-Sheet Scenarios, as well as the Sol System Poster Map. You should have received several emails from DriveThruRPG, each containing a code to download one of the scenarios or the map. If you haven’t yet received your codes, feel free to contact us and we’ll make sure you get them.
In addition to the final PDF, we also uploaded the print files. That means in the next few days we'll order the printing proof. In the meantime, all backers with physical rewards need to finalize their shipping address. You should have received an email from BackerKit prompting you to do this. All addresses must be finalized in the next 48 hours.
At this point there are only two PDF rewards that have yet to be delivered: the Jovian Epilogue and the System Hacks document. The former has been written and is currently being edited. The latter is about two-thirds written. Both will be sent out in the next few weeks.
Thank you all so much! And thank you for helping make Jovian Whispers a reality! Good gaming, everyone!
Good news, everyone! A few minutes ago we released the initial Jovian Whispers PDF to backers.
You should receive an email from DriveThruRPG containing a link to download the book. If you haven't received your link by tomorrow morning, please message us and we will make sure to resolve the issue.
More eyes are always better than just a few!
As part of our publication process, when we release a new game or major supplement, we create an initial PDF which we send out to backers. We then collect reports of typos or other errors and release a final, corrected PDF a few weeks later. It is this corrected PDF that we send to the printers.
Note that the initial PDF has one placeholder piece of art on page 6. In the corrected PDF this will be replaced with the final image. (We could have waited to release the PDF after this image was finished, but we chose instead to get it into your hands sooner.) The corrected PDF will also have the front and back covers added to the document.
If you find a typo or other error in the PDF, please let us know using the contact page on our website. We will be collecting error reports and making fixes until August 10th.
The campaign will be released to the general public once the corrected PDF is ready.
Here's a quick look at the progress behind the scenes:
Hello loyal backers!
If you've been following us on Twitter or Facebook, you know that Jovian Whispers is nearing completion. The PDF is on track for release in a couple weeks. We'll send out a second Kickstarter update just before the PDF goes live.
We will be locking surveys and charging shipping one week from today, on July 14. There are currently 5 backers who haven't completed their surveys. If you don't see your name on the list below, you're good. If you do see your name, please complete your survey ASAP; we can't ship your game without it.
If you're reading this and not a backer, this is your last chance to preorder the campaign! Preorders will close when the surveys do, one week from today!
Hello friends, fans and gaming family!
We have just sent out the first few backer surveys as part of a smoke test. If this test doesn't reveal any issues with the survey, most of you will receive yours on Thursday.
Once you receive yours, please fill it out ASAP. Doing so is necessary to fulfill your rewards. If you have not received a survey by Friday, please let us know and we'll make sure that you get one.
For the past two weeks, we've been hard at work on Jovian Whispers. Everything is currently progressing on schedule. If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you will soon see a couple two-page spreads, complete with art. Here is where things currently stand:
