In Twisting Unseen, the crew have signed on for a Jump-9 colony ship. They're spies sent to steal prototype research for the colony's secret portal tech project. Sure it's Jump-9, but with spacetime bending technology, they could be back before they left.
What could go wrong?
When the crew awaken, the portal tech has twisted spacetime, and they must use the technology to stabilize reality and escape at the Prime Gate. This is done in game through a map section and map tile procedure that has the players building the subterranean megacomplex and crafting their own version of the map.

I've been working on Twisting Unseen, a follow-up Sleeper Crew Adventure to Bio-Drones & Cryo-Clones, since before I'd even started developing Not Enough Scoundrels. The writing, playtesting, most of the art, editing and revisions are done, the final bit to finish is the layout.
I'm displeased to report that just thirty minutes ago, I finally learned why UK/Europe/Africa shipments for the Deluxe set have not yet gone out. Another unlucky roll on the Port Events table, unfortunately.
It appears that the fulfillment center in the UK has misplaced the Deluxe boxes, and just yesterday informed RV Games that they do not have all the items to ship the Deluxe copies out. This misplacement error could have occurred on either side of the Atlantic, and due to the incorrect reporting of shipments received, the UK fulfillment center has accepted responsibility for the loss.
But we have a solution that gets you the zines and Ship postcards soon:
RV Games will ship your order in two waves.
First wave: The Not Enough Scoundrels zine and the Ship Deck Postcards. You will soon receive shipping notifications for this package, they're ready to go.
Next, the HLU patches will be shipped with a free gift as a thanks for your patience and understanding as we've been flying blind, here.
I apologize for this inconvenience. Information comes slowly down the grapevine ping-ponging across time zones, and that becomes especially problematic when one partner is not forthcoming about what's happening on their end. Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.
In one week, the we're launching Flatline on the Blocks, a 52pg collaborative zine packed with new locations, factions, and a whole lotta trouble to stir up.
The first day of launch is the most critical for our campaign's success, especially on a collaborative project like ours. Give us a follow now, and you can receive a digital freebie!
Not only that, but we're going to run a RAFFLE for one of ten physical postcards! I'll add a little extra spice to the postcard's back for to make your Sater a lil extra special.
Follow the campaign, and all followers will receive the survey tomorrow. All you'll need to do is complete the survey before Mothership Month launches on October 14th to enter the raffle, :)
The lion's share of folk should by now have their rewards, both digital and physical!
For our friends in Canada, UK & Europe, the shipments should arrive at their respective distributors sometime this week, if we're lucky with customs. RV Games will blast out an update as soon as more info is available to us; we're also still playing the waiting game.
In the meantime, I want to share something exciting with y'all:
Flatline on the Blocks is a 52pg module of crammed city blocks, scheming factions, and ticking doom set aboard the megacity X-class space station Prospero’s Dream. I joined 17 veteran Mothership creators to bring this collaborative zine to y'all for Mothership Month 2025 .
The premise is simple, a 20 Block district: one block, one author, one spread. This zine delivers a detailed district called the Spinal Crux, full of distinct local identities of unique flavor, all interconnected in their strife. Using a Mythic Bastionland-inspired mechanic, your crew can investigate the Crux's problems as a new district on Prospero's Dream, or you can plug-and-play Blocks wherever you need them.
Join us for Mothership Month 2025! The first days of our campaign are the most critical to our success, so we're offering all physical backers in the first 48 hours an exclusive 100% embroidered, iron-on Spinal Crux patch.
Algernon and Orro patches have started going out to backers who already received their main orders. These will be packed in a single package for anyone who gets their orders pushed out moving forward. This includes folks being fulfilled from Canada and the UK. Our shipments are still on their way to these secondary fulfillment locations.
We did run into a bug in the fulfillment algorithm, so some backers may receive their patches in cartoonishly large boxes instead of small poly mailers. We'd love some pictures of these when they arrive, especially if they involve a cat. All we can do is laugh 😂🤣😂
