Streams, Interviews, and more!
All month long, we're diving into the void with daily streams, unsettling interviews, and exclusive, heart-pounding reveals. Whether you're a veteran spacer or new to the Mothership, join us in celebrating the universe’s bravest survivors…and those who didn’t make it back.
Thanks for joining us on our first ever Mothership Month! 👽
PSA: What about shipping?
While it would be amazing if we could bundle all the shipping together, currently with each project's different location, fulfillment timeline, and process it's not feasible for everything to be shipped together. It's a difficult logistical problem to solve and we've got some ideas for next year to help relieve shipping burdens. A few projects may ship together based on the publisher, see each project's page for details.

Hope you're all enjoying your holiday season, we certainly are at Mothership HQ! We're entering the final few days here and we've got a few stretch goals still up our sleeve.
We've just unlocked the brand new ships, which we're really excited about. These will be high quality renders with full stats and deckplans like entries in the Shipbreaker's Toolkit. They'll include:
An Interdictor: An "affordable" (think in the Raider range) combat based ship perfect for bounty hunters.
A Prison Transport ship: Perfect for planning breakouts. We picture the players may end up on these a time or two and so it's the perfect thing to keep a deckplan handy for.
A Pirate Ship: a very specific one built for “Pirate Queen” Shoshana Berahthran (one of the bounties). It's built out of other ships and it's the perfect ship for pirates or stranded colonists who have had to make do with what they can scavenge.
We're super excited about these. We're always trying to add new ships to the game to expand your library.
Mothership Companion App adds Virtual Tabletop
If you haven't heard we have an amazing Mothership Companion App for iOS, MacOS, and Android. The free version allows you to make a character and use the dice roller, but we've just added a paid upgrade for a Virtual Tabletop. It's, frankly, amazing.
Using the Mac App with my iphone mirrored to show the mobile version.
You can (very quickly) build maps in it, add tokens for other characters, see public dice rolls, send equipment, etc. Also, you can send out a code so that other players can join the session (including players with the free version!). We have a LOT more in store for this app, so if you haven't already, this is the perfect chance to give it a try.
Audio Briefings
Our next achievement/Stretch Goal is for Audio Briefings. These are high quality audio recordings of the "briefings" for the d100 Bounties performed by professional voice actors. These are the perfect prop for your game to play before the mission begins.
was wondering if there had been changes to it cause on one part it saids every 5 projects a you get a supply drop and later on it says all in you get all four drops. would love some clarification on this. thanks in advance!
Seeing this still running due to ongoing pledging is just phenomenal. I’m a Mothership newbie, and not used to Backerkit as a crowdfunding platform (habitually over on KS and GF) but this collab campaign has been brilliantly conceived and executed. Such a great diversity of projects… it’s taken me a month to digest it all. Having intended just to pick up Wages, I found myself pledging for 5 more… and still tempted by others. The incentives are fun, well thought-out and genuinely rewarding.
Well done to the creators for giving me such a dilemma of choice; well done TNG for staging this fantastic event.
Just need to find the time and some like-minded friends to use it all 😉
I'd love to help get this project over the 207k SEK but no option to spend more! Let me know if that's just a glitch and I'll do what I can (buy more patches for example).
Thanks so much for all your support. We're getting near the final days and I wanted to share some of the great NPC portraits that Jacob Fleming has been putting out. Each of them has their own desires, relations, tasks for the PC's- and someone is a murderer. In designing Interloper it was important to me that the crews can approach the module without following some singular "correct" path of investigation and still have a sweet time. In a lot of the noir media that inspired Interloper there isn't a lot of black and white morality but a cast of characters covered in varying shades of grey. To achieve this feel I try to keep even adversarial or repugnant NPC's as potential people the crew might be interested in aligning their interests with as they try to solve the murder or get entirely swept up in other sidequests that draw their interests. Uncovering the web of connections and secrets between the inhabitants of Interloper is a investigative or social crawl that should provide some fun routes for exploration. The game is afoot! 🕵️
Hey gang, Cameron here with a short update! In celebration of the Mothership Month's Backer Train going full Snowpiercer, we're running an all-new one-shot tonight on THE PANIC TABLE.
I'll be running the game with the cast of the upcoming DOG EAT DOG actual play series -- AND game designer Elliot "More Blueberries" Davis (The Time We Have, Rom Com Drama Bomb, Something's Wrong with the Chickens).
A quick one this weekend to say thanks for coming on this ride. Awaiting the Burning Gods has already been Magnum Galaxy Games' biggest campaign yet and it is all thanks to your support. Now that we are in the final 48 the push is on to unlock the bonus smuggler's guide zine for every physical pledge. I'm really hoping we crush this one and I think we've got a good shot!
Now, a few fun things.
MORE ART!
Daniel keeps on hitting them out of the park. Most recently with this killer banner piece for the crashed dropship from Survey Party A. Search the wreckage; think anyone... or anything survived?

New Smuggler's Guide Content
This past weekend, I wrapped up the Alternate Start Scenarios section of The Smuggler’s Guide to 1365. Each scenario reimagines a classic Magnum Galaxy Games module as a black-market smuggling mission, offering fresh win conditions, new player goals, and access to rarely-seen content in the original adventures. I had a lot of fun with these, thinking carefully how things would change if these were off-the-books rather than straight jobs from the company itself.
*SPOILER ALERT (skip this paragraph to avoid)* For example, the alternate start for The Cleaning of Prison Station Echo has your crew landing after the riot of the X187 infected prisoners. The prison has gone dark, the hallways vented of atmosphere, and the Xerocorp cleaning team is sweeping the halls shooting to kill any survivors who've managed to find themselves some oxygen and a warm place to hold out. Within this mess, your crew needs to extract a corporate VIP mole in hiding on the station. This reimagining promises a whole new way to approach the adventure and should be a ton of fun whether or not you've played the adventure before or its your first time. I can’t wait for you all to give them a spin!
Crossing the Finish Line
Alright, that's all for this week. Next time you hear from me we'll be on the other side of the campaign. Here's to making the final hours count and pushing us over the edge to unlock the Smuggler's Guide. Together, we can do it!
Thanks again for everything. Until next time, yours truly,
This is the big one! The Smuggler’s Guide becomes its own zine, featuring “Shoot the Messenger”, a thrilling bonus adventure by DG Chapman (Haunting of Ypsilon 14, Another Bug Hunt).
Goal: C$100,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
