Step into the void-haunted halls of a cursed derelict in this thrilling Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG adventure.
In "The Hunger in Achernar," PC investigators uncover the mystery of the missing CF Senespera and its experimental hyperdrive.

Is there a way to get this physical? Or even better a physical bundle of all your zines?
Right now, The Hunger in Achernar is only available through the pre-order page for Outer Rim Uprising. Once that has fulfilled there will likely be a limited run available at a few locations including Tuesday Knight Games for the USA, IglooTree for the UK, and Compose Dream Games in Canada. I'd expect those to come out sometime in Fall 2024.
