In this month's Rokaner Report, I talk about Flatline on the Blocks, games I'm runnning for the ALL FLESH IS SURPLUS digital convention, and my work with @chaoclypse.bsky.social on All Roads Lead to Rome open.substack.com/pub/5mwpress...

Got to play in a game run by Waco last night and it was great so 10/10 would recommend

#MothershipMonth2025 is approaching, loads of cool projects but I want you to ignore them and only follow mine. I believe this confrontational, isolationist approach will be a sure-fire way to success! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

The Melsonian Arts Council and Iglootree are teaming up to open a FLGS/bookshop in South London. Yes, THIS Saturday. Come say hi, buy a book, maybe win one of the ludicrously posh games we're offering in the raffle (I goddamn love raffles), play games in our basement. THIS IS REAL!

🚨 Announcing: Rites of Renewal, a neo-pagan folk horror sandbox crowdfunding during Mothership Month. With words by @jlcable.bsky.social, fully illustrated with lino art by @pickledpennies.bsky.social, and published by Peregrine Coast Press. The Solstice is Coming. Will you join the festivities?

In the Spinal Crux District, every Block has its secrets. Most bad, but some good—if you know where to look. 18 veteran Mothership writers, artists, and more bring their surgical precision to Flatline on the Blocks, a 52pg zine detailing 20 Blocks on Prospero's Dream.

Have I mentioned my new thing for #MothershipMonth2025 here yet? Continuing a head turning run of 6 syllable zine titles (2 for 2 so far), here’s the teaser page for Drink from the Hippocrene: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... sign up you buggers!

The Does Makes The Poison has 25% off intro pricing on Itch for one more day. Get it while it’s hot! Even if you don’t get it follow my Itch page it’s only been active 3 days when I should’ve started one much sooner to ‘grow an audience!’ #mothership andtomorrowgames.itch.io/the-dose-mak...

I'll be closing the pre-orders for The Dose Makes The Poison - a 24 page Bioshock-ish module from Mothership Month '24 - tonight. Shipping from the UK soon, I've just taken delivery of a whole bunch of zines. #mothership Pre-order store: the-dose-makes.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Test prints for The Does Makes The Poison arrived last week, couple of tweaks and will be putting the full print order in this week. Which is pretty cool

This week in the Bathtub, it’s new Mothership module from Norgad, Brackish! This one is a crime scene investigation mystery: Can you piece together how the crew died, before it happens to you too? idlecartulary.com/2025/06/16/b... #osr

I wonder if it's possible to hit 150 followers on Twisting Unseen by the end of the weekend? Do you like deep future superstructures and portal tech blipping in nasties? What about the players building the map (sticker sheeets)? Then give Twisting Unseen a follow: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

The pre-print PDF of Not Enough Scoundrels went out to backers! Let me know what you think, folks!

Lord help me, I've had an idea To coincide with Zine Month in February I want to run the #VALLEY100 – a 100 person gauntlet that will take place entirely on Bluesky over 10 days. Each player will be given a character and simple instructions, and can win prizes depending on how far they get.

Got my Smoke Test out yesterday, and keep finding new and wonderful corners of Backerkit, like this section that lets you share that TDMTP is the 14,943 most exciting project

The pre-order store for The Does Makes The Poison is live (it has 3 items for sale, so it's more East London fashion boutique than a store): the-dose-makes.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

The name ‘the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’ folds me like a deck chair of cringe every time I read it

In case you missed it: Milk Bar has its first alpha release out. There’s Molemen, robotniks, an irradiated Zone full of spatial and temporal anomalies, high sci-fi and historical weapons. This game is me going full Kojima

I'm creating another Mothership module for #ZineQuest the pre-launch page is up and I'd really appreciate you signing up to be notified when the campaign goes live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wac... #zinemonth #mothershiprpg

Follow my #ZineMonth #MothershipRPG module! The stellarcomms corp Etaoin Shrdlu abandoned their colony after decades of printing employee handbooks. 1,000 years later, their descendants face collapse as they print the secrets of the Hellscribe. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #ZiMo25 #ZineQuest

Time to share Blackthorn, a pulp horror rpg about surviving supernatural crisis. d12+d6 system built for fatal one shots where players expect to play multiple characters. Conjured up from the inspiration of pulp fiction, pre-code comics, + classic horror films. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

With more false endings than a Columbo monologue, the #mothershipmonth backer train rumbles on! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

Last three hours for #MothershipMonth. But all projects will be extended by @backerkit.bsky.social, if people keep pledging or upgrading within 10 mins of each other. Hop on the backer train at the right time to keep it going full steam ahead! www.backerkit.com/c/collection... #ttrpg #MothershipRPG

We're in the final hours of funding for #MothershipMonth! Here's another peek at a crewmember from our #MothershipRPG module Knowledge Asymmetry. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b... The illicit ship upgrade faction is only interested in making folks in power more powerful.

Only a few hours left to back Devil’s Due and the other awesome Mothership Month projects! Campaign pledges come with a patch, temporary tattoos, our love, and our adoration. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Mothership Month is coming to a close! Just a couple hours left to back Death Pays All Debts, my heist module on Prospero’s Dream! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

Less than 3 hours of #mothershipmonth. Maybe we can make it to 12K but don't really give a hooey as it's already an amazing tally. Thanks @norgad.bsky.social and @dgchapman.bsky.social for all the creative input so far. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

I sat down with @jettilalewis.bsky.social to talk about her work for our #MothershipRPG module "Knowledge Asymmetry." Learn about getting past the tricky part in a creative project and what makes for a rewarding collaborative experience:-) columbaryttrpg.substack.com/p/an-intervi...

We're into the final 29hrs 17min of #mothershipmonth (at least until the runaway Backer Train), so that gives me the chance to milk this trailer for The Dose Makes The Poison one last time. £12 for the most popular tier, big list of unlocked stretch things etc etc: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

🚨 Last 48 hours to go on Johnson Squared: our farcical murder mystery module for @mothership.bsky.social. Time to catch the wanton Johnson leaking data off Gemini Station—but careful, you’re on company time! 🧑‍🔬

Under 48 hours left in #MothershipMonth. Devil's Due broke its biggest stretch goal: lots more art! This 100-page A4 book will be jam-packed with pirate captains, crews, ships, jobs, adventures, NPCs, and locations for #MothershipRPG! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... #ttrpg #rpg #scifi #horror

Tbh think we could do with a benevolent omniscient AI ruling over us these days so have backed this so I can dream 👇

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Let’s see if we can spot who went out with their ‘last 48 hours’ emails a day early www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... #mothershipmonth

@chrisair.itch.io of 5MW Press brought a bunch of us together to collab on this entry for the Mothership Month Jam over at @itch.io! Check it out, it’s free! chrisair.itch.io/raider-bount...

Was lucky enough to contribute a little bit to this really cool FREE city depth crawl module with the other #mothershipmonth first timers (and rugged veteran old-timer @chrisair.itch.io)
