User blog:ZDee/Sunless Sea: the Fallen London video game's Kickstarter has launched!

1 cup of free coffee for today only to celebrate the first official announcement of Sunless Sea, FBG's next major project: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/a/talleyrand

--Two action refreshes for the price of one!-- is back now! And by "now", I mean roughly 24 hours so get your Fated beans while you can. If you have surplus coffee, March will gladly trade them with you for a surprise bundle. He's only found in the Fifth City, though.

September 3 is the launch date for Sunless Sea's Kickstarter! FBG needs to raise a minimal amount of funds to develop the game, and you can support them through the Kickstarter. If you've been reading the Echo Bazaar's recent facebook and twitter feeds, you'll have noticed its little ditty concerning the Surgeon's Child and the Cladery Heart:

"The Surgeon's Child he swam alone, across the wide black zees. The Surgeon's Child he came unknown to old charred sovereignties..."

The Surgeon's Child. He'd chosen the roof-top life, and we left him untouched, as we always do. We knew we would regret it, but fair's fair.

The Surgeon's Child. How could he know the Cladery Heart was ours? How could we know what we had done to sever it? Poor Heart. Poor boy.

The journey home was easier for the Surgeon's Child. He lay atop the Heart as its fibrils pulsed it home. Smiled at the quiet false-stars.

The journey was harder for the Heart. The waters had changed. The Neath was colder. Mt Nomad roamed here, roamed there. Years were gone.

Cladery Heart! We heard your beat approach. You were a part of us, but not our best. We had banished you away to keep the lacre clean.

Cladery Heart! The stories always end when we devour some unfortunate. We are rarely hungry. But we know our duties.

Cladery Heart! The Surgeon's Child. We understand orphans. Must we devour him too? ... well, a toothsome fragment he is.

As one FBG staff member has put it, "Is @EchoBazaar talking about a unique, backer-only ship? Or is it just spouting crazy like a whale with an overactive blowhole?"

The Kickstarter will decide!

Pssst, other edible access codes: They've been around for several months and appear to have unlimited uses, so feel free to share them! :)
