Awaiting the Burning Gods

Mothership Scenario by Magnum Galaxy Games

A sci-fi tomb-crawl of shifting sands, ancient machines, and difficult choices for the Mothership RPG.

Indiana Jones meets Stargate in this high-tension desert delve where rival factions race to uncover alien secrets buried on a dying world.

A once-in-a-generation sandstorm has uncovered something impossible on the forsaken planet Ma’at: a colossal alien monolith looming over the ruins of a forgotten city. Multiple factions vie for the treasures sealed within. With a great storm bearing down once more, what your crew chooses to uncover, smuggle out, or seal away before it arrives will change the sector forever.

Survive. Solve. Save.
