Graveyard of the Gods
A downloadable game
Deep in the Galactic Core lies Netjeru, a dead moon orbiting a decaying hunk of super-massive space rock. On this moon, mining companies operate with the utmost secrecy to unearth the bodies of long-dead deities. They dig deeper and deeper into this corpse world, searching for what lies in its core. Dare you follow them down into the GRAVEYARD OF THE GODS?
<><><>
Graveyard of the Gods is an adventure module and Warden's toolkit for the Mothership sci-fi TTRPG, focusing on cosmic and gnostic horror, rules for mining into planets and planetoids, extracting resources, and interacting with ancient, unknowable alien intelligences. Features included are:
- Arcology Generator: Roll up (almost) self-sufficient domes which are populated by Netjeru's prison population, or pillage the chart and place these Arcologies anywhere in the galaxy for any campaign.
- Planetary Depths: A vertical dungeon-crawl generation table, inspired by the likes of Veins of the Earth and AD&D, for use when mining or exploring the underground of any terrestrial planet. The table can be used anywhere in the galaxy, with both specific and general minerals listed for excavation and sale.
- Supernal Mutations Table: Give your players horrible malformations, manifesting as a result of human (and even android) minds trying to grapple with unknowable words of power.
- Mining Machines: Terrestrial and sub-terrestrial vehicles and rules used to explore the hidden depths of planets and moons.
- Impossible Artifacts: Hidden in secret cavities, these strange organs contain the last vestiges of power belonging to the excavated god corpses.
- Mining and Monsters: Lymphatic horrors hunt anyone who dares to disturb the slumbering bodies, with treasures in the form of pulsating Macrocells and Godsblood fetching hundreds of thousands of credits...if you can escape the planetoid.
- And More!
Praise for Graveyard of the Gods:
"Graveyard of the Gods is Dead Space in tone and Mass Effect in scope, all played through the eyes of down-and-out miners and ambitious freelancers doing anything they can to stay alive (and maybe even make some money along the way). But how deep will you dig and whose side will you take when there's so much more than just your life on the line?" - Christian Sorrell, MeatCastle GameWare
"Graveyard of the Gods offers a new type of Mothership adventure: a mining expedition to the heart of a cursed planetoid. Part Armageddon, part Steamworld Dig, this exploration-centered campaign plunges players deep into a dense planetoid rich with Ancient Alien mindfuckery. And the Company shitstorm on the surface isn’t much safer! What’s better is that the resources and tables in Graveyard of the Gods will extend far beyond the initial campaign. This zine a boon for any Warden’s table!" - Chris Airiau, Bio-Drones & Cryo-Clones
“A dark descent into the guts of dead gods, Graveyard of the Gods gives you the tools to put your players right into the heart of an escalating cataclysm for a chance of making it out rich, or dying trying.” - Josh Domanski, The Bureau/Liminal Horror

The first page of the book says below. This should be in the description. I would have not have purchased the book if I read this. Also there is very little gods related art. Just classic weapons and classic vehicles (stuff easily imagined) and some stereotypical characters. I regret this purchase.
FOREWARNING
This is an Old-School module inspired by old TSR supplements.
What this means is that this is not a plug-and-play
module. Wardens are encouraged to read the entirety of
this module beforehand, flesh out necessary components, and
utilize the many tables located in Part 2. Preparation is
key to the successful use of this Zine, and failure to do
so may not guarantee failure, but it might cause
frustration. Do your homework.
