Indiana Jones meets Stargate in this desert delve to uncover ancient alien secrets before they're lost forever beneath shifting sands. Includes a smuggler's toolkit for continued adventures in the desert and across the Outer Rim.
A storm has uncovered more than just sand on the forsaken planet Ma’at.
Beneath the shifting dunes, a colossal monolith towers over the ruins of a forgotten city, its dark secrets waiting to be uncovered. Landis University has dispatched a team to investigate, but they are not alone. Sunray Interstellar, the mission's sponsor, has its own hidden agenda, and the race is on to claim the lost world’s treasures—or to bury them forever.
Will you uncover the mysteries of Ma’at, or will its deadly secrets consume all those who dare seek them?
Awaiting the Burning Gods is 32+ pages of sand-choked, sun-scorched, ruin crawling, sci-fi horror for MOTHERSHIP. It blends the intrigue and daring feats of Indiana Jones with the cosmic peril of Stargate to deliver a high-stakes, race against time scenario in which your player characters explore alien ruins, unearth dangerous relics, and fight for survival in the shadow of a massive oncoming sandstorm.
Stunning, Original Artwork: full-colour art by Daniel Vega aka Codex Noirmatic.

Three Mapped, Keyed Areas: From the sun-scorched surface ruins to the tomb vault and necropolis below where unimaginable dangers await.

Sean McCoy, Creator of Mothership, Tuesday Knight Games
“Awaiting the Burning Gods is an expertly crafted pulpy vision with retro panache. The module brings a taut faction-filled ruin exploration that blends ever present danger with discovery in equal parts as a ticking clock pushes the PCs onward."Â
Joel Hines, Silverarm Press (Desert Moon of Karth, Tide World of Mani).Â
“The ticking clock as the massive sandstorm approaches is right down my alley, and a fantastic way to generate tension and push players into desperate action!”Â
Daniel Hallinan (Bloom, VR Dead)Â
“Alien dungeon heist! ALIEN DUNGEON HEIST! Exploring the weirdness of structures made by non-terrestrial entities is one of my favorite things that Mothership can do. And this time its being done by another of my favorite Mothership designers, D. Kenny.”Â
Ian Yusem, Anodyne Printware (Hullbreach Vol.1, The Drain, Moonbase Blues)Â

Magnum Galaxy Games’ mission is simple: create games our fans will be thrilled to own. Here’s how we’re making that happen.
The State of the Zine: The manuscript is complete. Art and layout are well underway!Â
Physical Rewards: We’re partnering once again with Panda Game Manufacturing to ensure the zines and boxed sets are of the highest quality with sharp printing, durable materials, and a tactile experience that feels as amazing as it looks.
From the Factory to You: In the coming months, we’ll be finalizing the print files and carefully reviewing the production samples to ensure every item meets our high standards. Once production completes, we’ll ship the games to our fulfilment partners who will manage their delivery to you. This process involves meticulous coordination, which is why we’re giving ourselves a generous timeline to do it right. Backers of Awaiting the Burning Gods are expected to receive their rewards by this time next year if not sooner. We'll communicate with regular monthly updates all along the way to make sure you know exactly where we are at in the production process.Â
Shipping will be charged after the campaign, close to when the game is ready to send your way. This helps guarantee that we collect all the shipping costs we need to make sure you get your goods.Â
Currently, we’ve secured localised shipping for the USA (Flying Cloud), Canada and the UK (Compose Dream Games). Outside of these areas, depending on your country of residence, you may be liable to pay customs charges on your package. Sales tax (GST) in Canada, if applicable, will also be collected.
All prices are in CAD/USD and are estimated based on current global conditions.
Where We Can’t Ship
Unfortunately, our fulfilment partners cannot guarantee the safe and timely arrival of our rewards to some countries and therefore we can’t ship there. If you reside in one of the countries on the following list please stick to our digital package.
Countries we can’t ship to: Afghanistan, Belarus, Bhutan, Brazil, Brunei, Central African Republic, Chad, Cuba, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Iran, Israel, Laos, Liberia, Libya, Mayotte, Miquelon, Mongolia, Niue, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Reunion (Bourbon), Russia, Saint Pierre, Samoa, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.
Both myself and my fulfilment partners are experienced with delivering crowdfunding rewards. I am confident in the ability of the businesses we are partnering with to deliver your rewards safe and sound.
The zine itself and much of the achievement content is nearly complete which removes the uncertainty and delays that can often occur on the creative side of things. The bulk of what’s left is production and shipping. For production, Panda has a long track record of success in producing and distributing great products the evidence of which can be seen in hobby stores world wide. With shipping, we have time and a network of committed businesses around the globe with decades of experience between them. Together, we will do everything in our power to make sure Awaiting the Burning Gods arrives on time and in good order.Â
