Coming to Backerkit this November 12th for Mothership Month 2024: Get Ready for Awaiting the Burning Gods!

In Awaiting the Burning Gods, players will explore alien ruins, unearth lost technology, and face implacable foes unlike any the galaxy has seen before. As a colossal sandstorm bears down, your crew races against time to unlock the secrets of the ruins - while the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.

What’s Inside?

A 32-page, action-packed adventure set on the lost desert world of Ma’at, where factions vie for control of ancient treasures.

  • Explore a city of shattered dreams and a vault holding a secret that could save or destroy the planet.
  • Race against a massive sand-cyclone, driving desperate action and bold, high-tension play.
  • Uncover 10 unique artifacts—brimming with power and dark promises.
  • Meet a conniving cast of NPCs with clashing goals— take a side to seize the chance at unimagined riches.
  • Three mapped locations filled with content for 3-5 sessions. From the sun-scorched ruins above to the tomb vault and necropolis below, danger awaits.

And join us for Mothership Crime Month and receive an enhanced Backerkit edition of the adventure, including The Smuggler’s Guide to 1365 containing everything you need to launch a blockade-running campaign from the desert to the Outer Rim. Including:

  • A deluxe box set edition by Panda Games Manufacturing
  • An all new Smuggler class for the Mothership RPG.
  • An alternate start scenario where PCs take on the role of raiders in the ruins of Ma’at. 
  • A fence generator to quickly create markets to sell your ill-gotten goods
  • And much, much more!

I really like the look of the old-school sci-fi vibes of the cover.

Thanks, I love it too - the font and design are thanks to the excellent Dai Shugars. I'm lucky to have him on board for this one.

Thank you Mr. McFin, looking forward to having you on the team! 

Hi there!

I found Nirvana on Fire at Phantasm gaming convention and I was very impressed.

My name is Gary and I'm the Director of RPG for BreakoutCon. We're the largest tabletop exclusive convention in Canada, and we welcomed more than 1700 unique attendees in 2024, up from 1400 in 2023 - we're expecting a similar jump this coming year. Our convention is home to one of the largest Indie RPG tracks around - we're passionate about introducing our con-goers to new games and experiences, and I'm very much hoping you'll join us!

We're always looking for opportunities to introduce new games and new guests and I think your games will be a great fit. 

If you're looking to learn more about our convention you can do so here: https://www.breakoutcon.com/

I can't find a way to reach out directly, would you let me know if you're interested?
