Not Enough Scoundrels

Mothership Month 2025

In the Spinal Crux District, every Block has its secrets. Most bad, but some good—if you know where to look.

---------------------------

"Not Enough Scoundrels is an overflowing, rusty toolbox of everything you need to fill out the rough-n-tumble elements of a blue-collar, industrial sci-fi galaxy. Simply put: there’s no way I would run an open-world Mothership campaign without this book at my table."

- Christian Sorrell of MeatCastle Gameware, The Bloodfields of Blackstar Station, FIREDROP, Tacticians of Ahm.

Not Enough Scoundrels is a 44pg supplement of smugglers, space truckers and the ships they live and die by, for Mothership RPG. 

The zine delivers a sector of stations and factions for space truckers, works as a ship catalogue, has one-shot derelict maps and tables of horrors and contraband bounty, and a new spacecrawl procedure to pull ongoing Mothership campaigns. Packed with explosive NPCs, crossover easter eggs, and feuding factions, Not Enough Scoundrels brings nefarious tension to fill your game between the space horrors.

In classic Mothership fashion, this zine packs a ton of content into a tight space - this has as much content as most RPG hardbacks. Tons of ideas here to spin up a scoundrel-centric campaign. Awesome. 

- D. Kenny of Magnum Galaxy Games, Dying Hard on Hardlight Station, Awaiting the Burning Gods, Nirvana on Fire.
