Five one-shot Mothership pamphlets. Each one is tight, fast, and packed with parasites.
Five distinct sci-fi horror scenarios, each built for 2-3 hours of play. No long read-throughs. No filler. Just clear hooks, sharp maps, and tools for panic.
The Pamphlets
Each pamphlet shows you the whole job at a glance, and drops right into any Mothership run. Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or whenever your crew takes a wrong turn.
You can run one the moment you open it.
The Slipcase
You also get a sturdy rigid slipcase built to sit beside your other Mothership zines. It protects the pamphlets, travels well, and looks good on a shelf.
Tough enough for your Warden kit. Slim enough for a convention bag.

Add-Ons
Choose your main pledge first, then add all the extras you want:
Milk Run - A medical aid vessel in distress… or something else entirely. A tense one-shot with a very unpleasant drug.
An Ear For Trouble - Noir caper through Club Nebula’s back rooms. Enforcers, cartel idiots, a fume lounge, and consequences.
D100 Space Junk - Roll or choose an unusual space-borne object to derail, reroute, or otherwise disrupt a ship's course.
The Gasping Light - Hired as auxiliary crew to study the Radiant Nexus. Glass station. Blind Suits. A light that breathes.
Corporate Survival - Escape a corporate retreat gone wrong in a 3-level resort dome. Fast chase structure, lots of locations, very bad HR.
The Ship Who Swallowed A Spider - Hostage negotiators aboard an advanced research ship. Mercenaries on the bridge. A helpful AI with an agenda.
Sins of Eden Prime - A crumbling religious colony beset by a tentacled robotic overseer who collects humans to bring them before a divine light.
Echoes of Eden Prime - Two one-shot adventures featuring cyborg-zombies and an enigmatic prophet.
Mad Cow Mad World - Tourist ranch resort, organ-farm cattle, human-bovine hybrids, and something worse under the surface.
Electric Razor - Salvage a dead research ship. Incorporeal things crawl inside nervous systems and drive bodies like machines.
Party At The Roche Limit - A luxury ice-moon resort is breaking apart. Limited exits, rising panic, survival pressure.
NOTE: Shipping will be calculated and collected after the campaign through the Pledge Manager.
Five distinct sci-fi horror pamphlets. Zero prep. Infinite parasites.
These pamphlets hit fast and hard. Each one is tuned for 2-3 hours of play, with clear hooks, tight maps, and escalating problems.
Each adventure gives your crew a different flavor of worm-soaked disaster. Run them in any order, plug them into any campaign, or yank one off your shelf when you need a session tonight.
Right As Rain
by Scott Garriott
Deliver divorce papers at a luxury orbital clinic, only to find the staff are hollow skins filled with writhing worms. Patients are next on the table. Can you escape before everyone is made “Right As Rain”?
Right As Rain
Paradise Park
by Clive Lancaster A once-beloved orbital water park reopens with a fresh coat of paint, but your delivery tanker has brought more than reprocessed water. Sunburnt guests, desperate teens, and WORMS (lots of worms) turn this pleasure dome into a nightmare.
Paradise Park
Payday Gambit
by Terry Herc What should be a simple pickup job on a shrouded mining world hides a far richer haul and far deadlier risks. Abandoned equipment, silicate treasures worth millions, and parasitic deep worms lurking in the trenches. How much are you willing to gamble?
Payday Gambit
Fracking Worms!
by Scott Garriott, Clive Lancaster, and Terry Herc A corporate ice-rig shakes apart as radioactive worms swarm the site, drawn by drilling deep into something vast beneath the planet’s crust. Workers riot, eco-saboteurs stir chaos, and flying larvae rain from the sky. You’ve got three hours before it all blows.
Fracking Worms
Worm Jelly
by Scott Garriott, Clive Lancaster, and Terry Herc A wounded void jelly drifts across the trade lanes, stuffed with psychic pearls worth a fortune. Rival crews carve into its living flesh as cartel thugs, scientists, and scavengers clash inside the labyrinthine body of the dying giant. Every step risks waking something even worse.
Scott writes tense, punchy Mothership scenarios. His work has appeared in pamphlets and zines from Molgannard Press and others. He likes body horror, doomed crews, and problems that can’t be solved with bullets.
