Hi everyone! I'm a longtime lurker/old Starmen.net forum member/one of the production assistants on the Mother to Earth documentary from a few years back.

I have a decent-sized collection of mostly-still-sealed Mother Project stuff purchased directly from Hobonichi between 2020-2023, that- reluctantly, after a hell of a rough couple of years being the sole caretaker of my disabled girlfriend with a neurodegenerative disease, recently losing my job, and on top of everything else having our work on an unofficial mod of a different decades-old well-loved RPG stolen by a well-known well-hated 3rd-party publisher in order to get the greenlight/license from the original developers to release an official product without any payment or credit (seriously I wish I was joking) -I have to try to part with to catch up on rent under current threat of eviction, and I would really rather know that all of this will end up in good hands with people from the EarthBound fan community rather than having to go through the long and painful process of dealing with complete strangers over eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

If anyone here has any interest in or questions about anything, or wants any more detailed/closeup photos of anything specific, please let me know, or if anyone wants to make an offer for any or all of this stuff, feel free to shoot me a DM and I'd be happy to see what we can work out. I'm usually pretty quick to respond.

Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for taking the time to read this post. This post loves you.

(P.S. Disclaimer/For The Record: I did check with the mods and get permission before posting this here, but seeing as how I rarely ever use my Reddit account and this is my first time actually posting in this sub/they don't know me, they did ask that I clarify that although they've allowed me to make this thread, that shouldn't be taken as them endorsing me as a seller. Engage at your own risk and all that jazz. If anyone does want to get anything from me, Paypal's the preferred way to go for buyer protection and whatnot, and depending on how late in the day it is I'll make sure to ship out either same- or next-day with tracking info provided. Thanks again!)

(P.P.S. sorry my date's a day behind, I meant to post this last night right after I took the photos but things have been super hectic and I didn't get a chance to sit down and post this until just now)

EDIT: oh gosh, I ended up falling asleep for a couple hours and just woke back up- I was not expecting this many replies/DMs this quickly, thank you guys so much 😭

Give me a bit to catch up on everything here and I'll update this post to let everyone know what's already been claimed. You guys are literal lifesavers, you have no idea

Artist's commentary: I wonder what "Frank-sama" is called in the overseas version...

Porky: “No matter how much they attack me, I’ll never die-”

Fairly confident it is authentic, but want to get input from the knowledgeable community here - found a pretty clean box to complete my collection! Thanks all!

Just enjoying a nice, sweet chunk of banana...with full of POTASSIUM

After his humiliating defeat in EarthBound, Pokey uses his stolen Phase Distorter to go all kinds of places, but one eventually catches his eye in particular: the Nowhere Islands, and this was far before Tazmily Village was even founded. He can't help but laugh seeing how primitive people have become in the future because of their own foolishness. He decides he wants to dominate them and show them how to live a little with the coolest things from his time like games, movies, and candy. However, he has no money and no connections. Not a thing. All he has is his charm. He is stuck spying on them until he hears about the local legends: the Magypsies. All of their turfs don't seem fitting for his vision until he finds the Seventh Needle Mines. So ominous, so isolated, so huge... so perfect. He's on his way to meet the Magypsy who guards the Needle here, Locria, and give her an offer she can't possibly refuse: let him build his empire here, and he'll give her anything she desires if it succeeds. He can't forget his manners, though! He has to introduce himself first. His name is Pok... no... Porky Minch. And he'll be your best friend.

I LOVE HIM SM I LOVE HIM SM I LOVE HIM S. M Sorry anyways enjoy heh 🐽

You guys seem to really like the comic dump I posted a few days ago, so here's another one I forgot to upload a while back

Thanks to hungry-hp sucker and that for some reason his fire attack only dealt a max of 4 damage (and his rest of attacks dealt less damage than normal) made my Jeff SOLO the kraken

My fave is Jonbound, an Earthbound fangame. It's actually laugh out loud funny, and I think a much more interesting game than Earthbound. I still love the OG game, but I love Jonbound even more.

Here's a vertical SNES boxart for the Earthbound Beginnings rom hack.

I made a red one too, inspired by the Mother 1 box.

(SORRY FOR THE BAD ENGLISH, ITS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE) i'm having some ideas for an AU, but i need to do some research first, my idea is what a deltarune counterpart for the MOTHER/Earthbound franchise could be? like, the same concepts but applied to the series, do you guys have any ideas?

I see a lot of posts about finding the Sword of Kings and some of them are first time players that think you absolutely have to get it. If you want to get it, of course definitely get it. But you don’t really need it. Yeah it’s better than having no weapon, but if you don’t want to take the time to find it then you don’t have to. Poo isn’t really a physical attacker anyways, you can get through the game just fine with him having no weapon.

Hey so it's been a while idk if I even mentioned this here before but I'm making a new mod it's called Earthbooga and it's my own spin on a... Halloween Hack... I just mostly wanted to show a few things of the progress on it

Im on day two of trying to get Sword of Kings from the Stonehenge base. I would normally just give up at this point but something is keeping me going (probably ADHD power tbh). Anyways I have been farming starman supers for two days pretty much with zero luck. Going up and down the ladder and insta killing them. I’ve receive multiple brain foods from the regular starmen, but even though I’ve killed probably hundreds of starman supers at this point I still haven’t got the sword. If anybody has tips please drop em below, but mostly send me motivation to keep trying bc I’m probably not gonna stop until I get it.

Lucas and the rest of the gang pass away peacefully and are reunited in heaven

The Dark Dragon wakes up and destroys the world and restores it to how it was when the solar system formed

Primordial soup forms and life will return one day, and humans will too, but because of Lucas's will, humans will be free of sin and the earth will never be destroyed again

guys it’s been like six years we gotta fix this i don’t like seeing those two guys on the top of my list when they’re just complete randos i don’t like it i don’t. If anyone else is with me you can easily submit a report to Spotify too. Maybe we can solve this with the power of friendship and community and love and fairness. They even claimed an artist profile on spotify which just sorta suggests that they are aware of the issue and don’t bother to do anything about it cause it benefits them. Here are the links
