Three locations on Prospero’s Dream, each available as a standalone Mothership module: a railgun hidden in an observatory, a zombie-infested luxury resort and a slickworld corrupted by Eldritch horrors. New rules to play with psychic powers.
Prospero Protocols is a collection of three locations based on the space station, Prospero's Dream from the Mothership book A Pound of Flesh. Each location can be run as a standalone one-shot. Explore a cynical resort for the elite that's overrun with zombies, discover a secret weapons lab hidden under a giant railgun and solve the mystery of the missing CEO by entering a Lovecraftian slickworld. Also included are supplementary rules for playing as psychic-powered test subjects, drawing inspiration from sci-fi classics such as Akira.

Three standalone modules
24+ pages of content

I'm delighted and honoured to announce that I've teamed up with fellow UK creator, Andrew C. Manson fromlast year's The Dose Makes The Poison to create a digital tri-fold you'll get for free if you back both of our projects.
A vent scrubber reports eerie noises, strange graffiti on the walls of the Malvolio District - could this be a new cryptid on Prospero's Dream?
If you're pledging on the physical edition, this is a chance to include some of my previous Mothership titles in your pledge and consolidate shipping costs:
This year, we're trying something different. Nearly every Mothership Month project is part of a shared shipping initiative. That means:
One pledge manager. When Mothership Month ends, you’ll receive one combined pledge manager survey for all participating projects — our “mega pledge manager.” That means just one survey and one shipping payment for multiple projects.
One shipping charge. Because these projects will ship together, you’ll only pay shipping once, saving you money.
One fulfillment timeline. All participating campaigns are scheduled to ship at the same time, ensuring your rewards arrive together.
Two exceptions. Only two creators (Bombs Bursting in Air and Roach Motel) have opted out of this group fulfillment plan; their shipping will be handled separately. Why did they opt out? These two projects are very close to being ready to fulfill, and it didn't make sense to their teams to wait.
Estimated Shipping
Below is a table of estimated shipping prices based on weight. You can see at the bottom what the estimated weights are for different items. Prospero's Dream should be around the same weight (maybe slightly lighter) than the Mothership Core Set. Additionally, if you order several items you'll incur a small charge for additional items, which varies based on your country.
This does not include any applicable VAT or taxes. A reminder that these shipping prices are an estimate and its possible they will change based on global conditions beyond our control.
When will these projects ship? Our collective goal is to have all Mothership Month 2025 projects fulfilled before Mothership Month 2026 begins. Some projects are further along than others, so their timeline for digital rewards will vary. But we have roughly a year to fulfill before Mothership Month 2026, which gives everyone enough time to finish up and get their products to our warehouse.
Updates Waco will be making monthly updates about his progress and you'll even be able to watch him on stream while he works on the project.
Digital Fulfilment Digital copies of Prospero Protocols will be distributed via Backerkit.

Every year, Tuesday Knight Games and dozens of third-party creators launch new Mothership projects around a shared theme. This year’s theme (“The Dream Returns”) centers on Prospero’s Dream, the infamous X-Class back-world, black market space station. Each project ties back to the Dream in some way. Not only that, but we'll be opening up Prospero's Dream as a shared setting for all third-party creators going forward.
