Time After Time
A downloadable adventure
TIME AFTER TIME is a mind-bending time travel adventure for the Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG. Survive strange chronologic horrors, solve paradoxical mysteries, and save the station from its own recursive fate—and do it all without accidentally fragging yourself out of both space and time.
The bulk of Time After Time is a tripartite dungeon map: that is, three maps of the same rooms and areas of the space station, but spread across three different points on the timeline. As you move present to past to future, the station changes, and so each of the rooms has three separate keys. Late in the timeline, when explorers and scavengers first arrive, is very dangerous—earlier in the timeline is safer, and holds the keys to many mysteries. But how will you get there? And how will you return?
Also included are a half-dozen key NPCs, twenty-odd time travel devices, basic procedures for dealing with paradoxes and time travel, a few time-based monsters, and some world-shattering ways of ending the adventure.
Zines are available at Spear Witch.
Writing, graphic design, and additional illustration by Sam Sorensen.
Editing and development by Matthew K.

Good news! TIME AFTER TIME is back in stock at Spear Witch! You can get it here!
Are physical copies going to be restocked on TKG any time soon or is it just Spear Witch for now?
Just missed out on ordering this in zine form on TKG, will there be any reprints soon, either there or on Spear Witch?
Yes! We're in the middle of reprinting—look for them in the next few-to-several weeks!
Just missed this on Spear Witch. Is there a reprint for physical copies happening soon?
Looks like it's back in stock today on Spear Witch? I was hoping to order it through Tuesday Knight Games so I could get a couple of things with the shipping though. But the low availability!
yay, thank you.
Is there any chance a B/W version will ever be made available as a PDF? I bought the physical print on Spear Witch but the second section is very hard to read for someone with weak eyesight (much lower contrast than it appears on the PDF, basically black on brown).
Probably not, unfortunately—there's a lot of overlapping intersecting layers of InDesign and Photoshop going on to get the complete PDF that makes a simple black-and-white version difficult to produce.
I agree that the selected font is a huge accessibility issue between pages 30-48 (the dark brown text on lighter brown background), even on digital. How about a PDF version were the only thing that changes is making the font in those pages white or even match the more yellow tone of the text in page 50? Would that be possible? I love this adventure module and I can't wait to run it, but I've had a hard time reading those pages without ending up with a migraine.
any UK distributors for physical copies?
Not that I'm aware of right now—but if you tell your favorite shops to reach out to Spear Witch, they can get copies shipped over in bulk.
Hey, if I buy the module on Spear Witch, is it possible to get a copy of the PDF ?
Edit: Nevermind, I just received the Download Link, I didn't find info it would arrive as PDF as well!
Will there be any more physical copies printed? It seems to be out of stock everywhere at the moment.
Also wondering this!
They're back in stock now!
Where?
Spear Witch!
Bought!
