Return to Netjeru with Graveyard of the Gods - UNEARTHED
Subterranean horrors, corporate greed, and cosmic horror, all while you're stuck in the galaxy's worst prison
Once upon a time, Star Gods brought themselves into being. Billions of years of paracausal power at their fingertips enabled them to weave the fabric of the universe to their liking. Entire galaxies fell to their mighty hands, stars detonated, physics made into a mere suggestion.
And then, one day, it stopped. The Gods vanished, made into myths. No, less than myths: nothing.
And then, less than a decade ago, an intrepid explorer discovered an impossible planet. A planet orbiting a black-hole that wasn't a black hole. A planet made of a crust which wasn't a crust. A planet made of thousands, millions of dead bodies of the many Star Gods of the universe.
He called this place Netjeru, after the Valley of the Gods of Old Terra. But soon after, it was discovered by corpo suits that wanted to turn a profit. Impossible materials and artifacts were discovered on this impossible planet, and thus, it became a mining site.
But not just a mining site: a place where the dregs of the galaxy could be sent to work off their sentence by mining and dying for whomever paid the most. Thus, Netjeru went from archaeological pipe-dream to the greatest prison in the galaxy.
Some still call it Netjeru. Others call it Hell. But everyone else knows it better as:
THE GRAVEYARD OF THE GODS
In 2023, Hammer City Games collaborated with RV Games and officially began producing independent TTRPGs and Mothership Supplements, and Graveyard of the Gods was the flagship product for this new company. It got a lot of attention and support during Zine Quest 5, and allowed us to get started being one of the medium-sized players in the TTRPG scene. Now, with two years and MANY RPG products of experience under our belt, we are committed to returning to Netjeru one last time, and doing it properly.
The original supplement was JAM PACKED, and not in the good way. It was cramped, hastily made, and had to feature a LOT of cuts to make the 60-page max for Zines. So, we are endeavouring to now produce a softcover book in order to properly contain all the artwork and content we initially envisioned for GotG, and thus, have remastered it as Graveyard of the Gods - UNEARTHED.
What does UNEARTHED have that the original didn't?
- Expanded rumours/side quests and exploration of Netjeru;
- A fleshed-out colony/arcology builder;
- Cleaned-up mining rules with more concise and complete information;
- An expanded storyline reminiscent and organized like A Pound of Flesh's ticking timeline;
- A better look at the prison of Netjeru and rules for helping Wardens navigate featuring campaigns in prisons;
- And more!
Featuring the same art from Mike Doscher (cool shit), Sam Wildman (Shipbreaker's Toolkit), and Michael Katchan (more cool shit), as well as more in-house graphics and other terrors, UNEARTHED is meant to be more than a remaster: it's an expansion, an Ultimate Edition, if you will.
Backers who pledge within the first 48 hours are guaranteed a Corpo-Owned Temporary Tattoo!
The rewards are the usual: digital, physical, AND a Deluxe Edition, which contains the supplement, as well as the poster and patch included with the original release of the game!
The question is: will YOU be one of the lucky few to escape Netjeru's cosmic clutches? Or will you join the millions already buried there, and become just another corpse in the pile? Only one way to find out...
