Highlights
Project Update: Digital Release is HERE!
Grim Merchants is approved by TKG and ready to rock RIGHT NOW! Check the Backers-only section below for some DriveThruRPG links to add Grim Merchants and Androids Unleashed both to your library!
These links might come down once the pledge manager is open and I have other means to distribute files, but for now - enjoy your modules and thank you again for all of your patience! We hope the wait has been worth it!
For Deluxe backers: note that we still plan to ask for your preferred accreditation when we send out surveys. It's just your Backerkit account names listed in the book right now, but rest assured we'll be updating any/all of those names before we go to print!
For No Gods, No Masters crossover backers: we haven't forgotten about you! Digital mission cards are still in the works. Once we are closer to NGNM's release, we'll be able to share more and rest assured you'll have your sweet sweet vendor quests. Hang in there!
The community speaks! Choose the best twelve anomalies to get added to the book. Keep in mind: Polls on BackerKit have a character limit! That means that in the actual book, the anomalies / breaches will likely be a bit longer—expect something closer to a paragraph in length or longer for each entry.

Who killed the Professor? A violent barkeep seeking payment for money owed? An addict waitress in over her head in debt? An ex-business partner with a personal vendetta? A slighted brother sick of living in a shadow? A gang leader whose not against a little murder? Or was it Harton herself and this whole event a crazed plot?
Project Update: FREE MODULE: The Call of the Void + Collaboration Partner: HUNTERS!
Hello everyone!
We're a week away from Mothership Month 25! So it seemed a great time to throw out a nice little freebie module for those that jump in and follow the project. Those that are already following can grab the module straight from this update. Google Drive link below.
The Call of the Void
Can you save the crew? Find the missing Research Reports? Or will you too fall to the call of the Void!
Cross-Collaboration: Hunters
Project Update: June Update - we're finished!
As a reminder, fulfilment for this project is being handled by Tuesday Knight Games. Digital versions of Prospero Protocols and any add-ons you may have ordered were submitted to TKG on 6 June.
The deadline for materials arriving at TKG warehouses has been extended to the end of August 2026. I have a test-print due to arrive today. Once the pre-order store closes next week, I'll finally have a concrete idea of numbers ordered (thank you once again for your support 🙏), and then I can send this huge order off to the printers. I can also use that couple of days to make the inevitable 'fixes' that occur upon receiving a test-print.
Artwork
Test-print just arrived!
Outstanding Tasks
- Prospero Protocols (German language translation)
- Stretch Goal - secret objective handouts
- Stretch Goal - digital map codes for companion app
- Cross-collab tri-fold with And Tomorrow Games
Project Update: The Conduit Update 5: Cross collab update TWO!
Red Line Rush is a tight little adventure unfolding on a packed metro train. Crew play as a team of gig-economy medics racing to keep a critical patient alive long enough to reach the clinic. Fight against time, terrified commuters, overbearing managers, and a raging parasitic infection. It's got 5 NPC's and D20 streamlined encounters with fellow passengers, plus a nifty little train map, and a nasty little alien monster. It's gross, you'll hate it.
Without further ado, here's a google drive link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gFkEIa0W1YXel4yqg1E4tu0re-KOcXFf?usp=drive_link
Inside you'll find a couple PDF's- one labeled "digital high quality" and another "press ready." Use press ready if you want to print yourself a copy, and use digital high quality for screen viewing.
A lot of the layout for this trifold was inspired by There is a Goblin Loose on Icarus Station which is fun and just $3. Worth a look if you've not seen it!

Project Update: BREAKING NEWS: May Update - The Bad, the Good and the Better news + UKGE expo !
Quite a lot happened in these past 5 weeks. So many emotions, a lot of great indie TTRPG acquisitions, and a ton of good encounters.
TLDR : Production hiccup sorted, we are on track to print. UKGE was amazing. New project is looking very promising.
Layout:
- The Bad news: We hit a problem in production and were forced to redo the initial layout due to a production issue with the original files.
- The Good news: The whole MM25 creators community was very supportive and prompt to offer help, advice and recommendations. In the spirit of transparency ; this is my first project and I want to keep you informed every step of the way; I was very nervous and a bit at a loss with this hiccup happening so close to the finish line. Daniel (from TKG) was of very good counsel and helped me see things through and find a solution. Big shoutout to the creators of Prospero Protocols, Sunlit Path, The Company's New Groove, Certain Fathoms, Drink from the Hippocrene and The Conduit (I may be forgetting someone, sorry if I am!) who all offered help and words of comfort when I needed it most. You might still be able to pre-order their MM25 submissions on the MM25 pre-order store while it's still up.
- The Better news: I took this opportunity to look at the whole book with fresh eyes (not only the layout) and dare I say, BREAKING NEWS is now better than ever. Mathieu Baguet (Red Nation) did an amazing job in such a timely fashion. Not only did he take over the project very quickly, he respected the original vision, identified some improvement points, and brought his own perspective to the piece; elevating the overall feel and quality of the zine. In the end, this whole experience was probably a blessing in disguise, as you can tell from the screenshots of Mathieu's version below :
- Haven and I met in Birmingham for the 20th anniversary of the UK Games Expo. Not only was it our first time meeting face to face, it was also our first UKGE; and what a treat it was! Over 50,000 visitors, 800+ exhibitors, and an aircon malfunction on the hottest day (and a cancelled flight back) made it quite the experience.
- What made it truly unforgettable was the opportunity to meet so many like-minded individuals; indie and more established developers, talented illustrators, writers, and the people working behind the scenes that make it all possible.
- I was very happy to get some of my favorite games and books signed by the minds behind them. I couldn't afford everything I wanted, but I highly recommend anyone thinking of going to the Expo next year to do so. I hope to be back if life allows it!
Haven is now live on Itch.io as Cat Skull Press ! Check out his Triptech submission, ECHOES OF MNEMOSYNE and Sounds from the Squeeze.
- I received the initial outlines and some drafts from the guest writers while making progress on my own end. This is shaping up to be an amazing adventure or rather, adventures!
- Since writing my first module, I always aimed at doing a grand collaboration project, and I am so glad for the collaborators who raised their hands and accepted to work on this together.
- I am currently working with an editor to review my initial manuscript. Once that's done, I will finally be releasing more information. I hope you'll find it as exciting as we do.
Until then, I wish you the best and thank you again for your support.

Hi, I emailed support about this and I've asked on the Discord as well and have been chided for doing so. Have you guys come up with a date for the release of the Final Wages of Sin PDF to those of us that picked it up when we pledged this campaign back in October? I know the books are en route so I'm assuming that means a PDF exists. Have you guys realized a date for that yet? Please don't ask me to email support. Is this the right place to ask this question? Again, I've asked support about this and they said an update was coming about that topic. Instead the last Wages of Sin update was about the shipping costs going up. On that topic, will we see an increase in shipping costs to MM25?
