- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover adventure
- RETAIL PRICE: $16
- DESCRIPTION: PCs wade through the innards of a lost ceremonial offering: an ancient alien bioengineering factory and living ship called the Gift. PCs traverse the organs of the Gift, a ship that eats and breathes and feels their clumsy boots plodding about within it.

It caresses the PCs’ brainstems to impart its hopes and fears directly into their minds.

Cathedral of Hope | Lost Eons by The Lost Bay Studio
- SYSTEM: ECO MOFOS!!/ mashed together 24XX and Blades in the Dark
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover zine/three zines core rules collection
- RETAIL PRICE: $7/$34
- DESCRIPTION: Cathedral of Hope can be a standalone adventure, or used after the PC Punks find their Glade. The locale is a base that can be upgraded, or it will develop in unpredictable ways by itself if not taken care of. These developments will be random, through tables added in every section. To take care of the homestead, the PCs work on fertilizer that can sprout any seeds that are still buried unopened within the earth. The homestead starts out as a small village of some small shacks around an Elder called Estaine Alloy. As the PC Punks work on missions and spread word about the village, both threats and friends will find their way there. Reputation is a two-edged sword for Estaine Alloy, but with the help of the Punks they should manage to survive and grow, perhaps even prosper. Lost Eons is a three zine solarpunk sci-fantasy. PCs are post-human characters, ready to face the mysteries and dangers of a far future Earth dominated by inscrutable and terrible forces they must seek to understand. The Players Guide covers character creation, mutations, skills, traits, and talents. Also has an improvised card-based magic system. Level-up through mutation; the PC’s body changes as they evolve. Character Playbooks included. The Fens Setting Book details the plant-entwined archivists the Calyx, the playful crab-like traders the Cambrians, the scarred seapunks called the Aya, the barge-dwelling anarchist Free Folk, and the great golems of the sentient reed-beds: the Wickonen. Each has suggested names, items, traits, histories, and cultures. The GM’s Tools Book contains adventuring procedures, a card-deck countdown to DOOM, an encounter generator, spark-tables for environmental description and generation, a bestiary of 54 science fantasy creatures and anomalies, treasure tables, and a procedurally generated one-shot/campaign starter.
