Avatar Alert! Mothership Month 2025
Prepare for Wetwork in Flatline on the Blocks
Happy Equinox spacefolk,
Bringing you this Avatar Alert to announce two important updates for 5 Million Worlds Press.
Mothership Month 2025:
Flatline on the Blocks
Flatline on the Blocks is a thick 52pg zine from 18 veteran Mothership creators. Visit the Spinal Crux district on the megacity X-class space station Prospero’s Dream, and interact with 20 Blocks over 20 Spreads and their scheming factions. The ticking doom mechanic, inspired by Mythic Bastionland’s Myth Omens, beats the pulse quicker to disaster.
The first couple days are critical for the campaign’s success, so we’re offering a free and exclusive 100% embroidered, iron-on patch to all physical tier backers in the first 48 hours.
Xeno-plants crawl through the vents, noodle shop mobsters operate black markets, monobikes burn rubber down dingy streets, rogue slugtech creeps up out of toilets, a dead warship slumbers, scrappers chip away at the infrastructure underfoot, and crowds clamor for the new MindOrb cybermods unknowingly powered by a sinister source.
In the Spinal Crux District, every Block has its secrets. Most bad, but some good—if you know where to look.
Twisting Unseen, for Zine Month 2026
My work on this Mothership Month project took a much larger amplitude than I had foreseen. Combined with some advice I received, I’ve decided to postpone the Twisting Unseen BackerKit launch for Zine Month in February 2026.
This actually works out better because this way, the 5MW RPG will have its official beta release before the project launches, which makes it easier for folks to tie it in with the DIN Tail zine, too. You can still follow along here.
Signing off,
Chris Airiau
