Once upon a time, Star Gods brought themselves into being. Billions of years of paracausal power at their fingertips enabled them to weave the fabric of the universe to their liking. Entire galaxies fell to their mighty hands, stars detonated, physics made into a mere suggestion.
And then, one day, it stopped. The Gods vanished, made into myths. No, less than myths: nothing.
And then, less than a decade ago, an intrepid explorer discovered an impossible planet. A planet orbiting a black-hole that wasn't a black hole. A planet made of a crust which wasn't a crust. A planet made of thousands, millions of dead bodies of the many Star Gods of the universe.
He called this place Netjeru, after the Valley of the Gods of Old Terra. But soon after, it was discovered by corpo suits that wanted to turn a profit. Impossible materials and artifacts were discovered on this impossible planet, and thus, it became a mining site.
But not just a mining site: a place where the dregs of the galaxy could be sent to work off their sentence by mining and dying for whomever paid the most. Thus, Netjeru went from archaeological pipe-dream to the greatest prison in the galaxy.
Some still call it Netjeru. Others call it Hell. But everyone else knows it better as:
In 2023, Hammer City Games collaborated with RV Games and officially began producing independent Zines and Mothership Supplements, and Graveyard of the Gods was the flagship product for this new company. It got a lot of attention and support during Zine Quest 5, and allowed us to get started being one of the medium-sized players in the TTRPG scene. Now, with two years and MANY RPG products of experience under our belt, we are committed to returning to Netjeru one last time, and doing it properly. The original supplement was JAM PACKED, and not in the good way. It was cramped, hastily made, and had to feature a LOT of cuts to make the 60-page max for Zines. So, we are endeavouring to now produce a softcover book in order to properly contain all the artwork and content we initially envisioned for GotG, and thus, have remastered it as Graveyard of the Gods - UNEARTHED.
What does UNEARTHED have that the original didn't?
Expanded rumours/side quests and exploration of Netjeru;
A fleshed-out colony/arcology builder;
Cleaned-up mining rules with more concise and complete information;
An expanded storyline reminiscent and organized like A Pound of Flesh's ticking timeline;
A better look at the prison of Netjeru and rules for helping Wardens navigate featuring campaigns in prisons;
And more!
Featuring the same art from Mike Doscher (cool shit), Sam Wildman (Shipbreaker's Toolkit), and Michael Katchan (more cool shit), as well as more in-house graphics and other terrors, UNEARTHED is meant to be more than a remaster: it's an expansion, an Ultimate Edition, if you will.
That's the question everyone has on their minds when it comes to a product, and we understand. While we are in the midst of finalizing two other crowdfunding campaigns (which are right now printing and/or shipping), we hope to keep backers happy by fulfilling the same timeline as we had the original Graveyard of the Gods.
Which is to say: ON TIME.
With printing hopefully done in Canada via Friesens, and distribution done by the wonderfully skilled and experienced Violet of RV Games, we hope to get this out to you by January/February 2026, if only because we do not have to worry about the Chinese New Year halting printing, and because we want to ensure we don't have to deal with Christmas shipping overlap.
We hope for a 2-3-week turn-around for getting the PDF ready, edited, and sent off for printing. Following the printing's completion, we will open up the pledge-manager, distribute the PDFs of Graveyard of the Gods - UNEARTHED to you all, and then...get things shipped out!

Shipping
Worldwide shipping will be organized by RV Games via ShipBob.
The following table shows estimated shipping rates. These are only estimates and can change between now and fulfillment.
Pledge Manager
RV Games will be using BackerKit as a pledge manager once the campaign is complete. We will be using a feature called Auto-lock and Charge that will lock your order and charge you for shipping and add-ons when you complete your survey. For this reason, you will end up receiving your survey a little later than you may be used to, surveys will go out once products have arrived at the warehouse.
Add-Ons
After the campaign, you will be able to purchase add-ons from RV Games back catalog, a selection of third party ttrpg zines and books, and a small selection of gaming accessories. Add-ons that contain more than just print material will need to pay VAT in the UK. Shipping is included in the price of the add-ons purchased through BackerKit except for heavier items. These heavier add-ons have a $5 USD (55 SEK, $7 CAD, 4£ GBP, 5€ EUR, $8 AUS) shipping surcharge.
