🎉 What We Made Together
Collaboration makes everything more fun.
Mothership Month returns October 14, 2025 with even more creators, nightmares, and community events. Whether you're an old teamster or a fresh recruit, you're invited to the largest Mothership event of the year.
This year’s theme—The Dream Returns—calls back to our award-winning module, A Pound of Flesh, and its setting on Prospero’s Dream, the overcrowded space station where ambition and desperation collide. In 2025, that dream resurfaces as we open up the setting for all third party publishers to utilize in their creations. That's right, every module this year will be connected to A Pound of Flesh, and the Dream. The best campaign-hub in sci-fi is about to get even better.
And if you already blew up the Dream in your home campaign, stay tuned, because we've got some special books in store just for you.

New! We're running a MASSIVE REAL-TIME PLAY-BY-POST MEGAGAME
We're trying something we've never done before. Legendary designer, Sam Sorensen (Lowlife, Time After Time) is orchestrating a gigantic game just for Mothership Month. It's called OVER/UNDER and you can join the game RIGHT NOW.
Starting on October 14th, as a part of Mothership Month 2025 ... I will be running another large-scale real-time play-by-post wargame, a take on my existing wargame Cataphracts. This new game will run for four weeks, the entire duration of Mothership Month, open to anyone who wants to join. It’s called OVER/UNDER.
Each of [the four] factions starts out with three Bosses ... who work together to achieve their faction’s objectives. Factions maintain territorial holdings, raise soldiers and send them into battle, operate factories and docks, and so on. The game plays out in real time over the course of one month: if a squad of soldiers needs to get to a station block a dozen kliks away, that takes a full three hours, during which time other commanders can react and respond.
... Beneath these twenty-odd faction Bosses are hundreds or even thousands of Denizens, all of whom are also players.
Read Sam's full post here. The game starts on Discord on October 14th.
This is a huge experiment in making Mothership Month more than just a crowdfunding campaign, but a gaming experience for all our fans. We hope you'll join us as a denizen of Prospero's Dream and find out what happens when we all play together.
