We're playing Mothership 🦀

I am super keen Perpetua and Realis dont get me wrong, but I would give my left kidney to see the FaTT crew do a horror season run in Mothership, Sangfielle dipped into horror so frequently I am dying to see what would happen if they took the plunge fully.

I would also give my right kidney to see them run a hard cyberpunk season (there are so many cool and fun cyberpunk systems to run and they could go so crazy in that setting).

Been working on a module for the Mothership TTRPG called Kopii! It’s a module about androids, memory, and non-euclidian spaces inspired by rose-engine's Signalis, Kane Pixels Backrooms series, and Silent Hill. The adventure included takes place on Atlantis Station, which was previously renowned for revolutionary treatments done on androids suffering from a condition called S.A.D. or Synthetic Anemoia Disorder. Now the station has vanished, and it waits in the periphery of known space waiting to be found again.

Included so far in the module are:

-Rules for human to Android conversion.

-Rules for Android memory limiters, along with the benefits and consequences of disabling them.

-Alternative stat-lines for the Android class, taking equipment from the Marine and Teamster kits who specialize in their own array of tasks.

-The wreck of the Ahab, a ship that crashed into the lobby of Atlantis Station’s visitor center.

-A lucky spanner.

It’s been a blast to work on this so far, and I’m excited to see where it goes!

When in Rome

Right, so I write for Mothership RPG, yeah?

It was basically a professional obligation for me to go see Alien: Romulus on its opening weekend.

Short review: Cool. Though I wish directors would make a new alien horror movie instead of new Alien movies.

Lemme tell ya, I might have designer brain disease, but this movie really is a series of problems for a sci-fi adventure, haha. My favorite thing about this movie was the smart, player-skill level problem solving the characters came up with. I was actually impressed. The film made me want to put my friends through the same ringer, and write up a similar scenario.

So I did.

When in Rome is a 20pg Mothership RPG adventure module with two player handouts, obviously heavily inspired by Alien: Romulus. I started last weekend, and released it yesterday. (What’s wrong with me, right?). That is: writing, playtesting, Mothership 3pp approval, peer review (thanks Josh Domanski, Christian Sorrell, Iko and Allen Hall!), hiring Brandon Yu “Chaoclypse” for the sick art, revising and putting into layout.

So yeah, this module is basically an adaptation of the film, but it does have some very notable (read: legally distinct) differences.

It's free for the next five hours, and I would love to hear what you think, and how your PCs fare on Caesar/Augustus.

Click here to download the module on itch.io. Note that I’m still working on the plaintext file and VTT asset updates. I would love to hear what you think, and how your players’ crews fare on Caesar/Augustus.

Good luck.

I'd love to know what some of the team's favourite indie ttrpgs are (apart from Eureka, of course. Otherwise, it'd be at the top of the list, I expect.)

Yes of course Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, but for non-Eureka indie and small-press games, here are a few of the team's answers

@sirobvious:

Mothership. Hands-down.

@chaospyromancy:

mork borg

@ashweather:

Ash's Picks (AKA the "get more literate in the medium" pack) (Most of these are small- or medium-press not strictly indie but ya know)

Burning Wheel Seventh Sea (1st edition) Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok Mothership Don't Rest Your Head Troika! Hillfolk (aka DramaSystem) Savage Worlds Masks

Kopii Dev Update #1

Progress has been going smoothly, and I've been building a larger roster of monsters and characters to meet aboard Atlantis Station! Along with that, I've been workshopping a mechanic for navigating Atlantis Station; some places might not be the same as they were on a return trip, and doors won't always lead to where they're supposed to.

A large scale map of the station has also been created and annotated. The plan is for a different map to be included for each area of the station along with supplementary art to help the Warden paint a more vivid picture of the surroundings!

That's all for now, the next stage of development will be focused on nailing down how the station changes over time, and creating tables to roll on in the event that a room changes or a door leads somewhere else!

My new solo TTRPG is out!

HARDCASE is a light-weight solo TTRPG about trying to make it to payday in space. If you're a fan of grimy sci-fi and hate corporations (or just really like Mothership, 2400, and World of Dungeons), there's a lot for you to love with it!

You can grab it half-off for the next week <3

[monsterfactoryfanfic]

I’ve got an article out in Interstellar Flights Magazine on Alien-inspired RPGs! I talk about the Free League game, Mothership, and The Wretched, and the ways each of those texts interpret Scott’s iconic film

[doggogills]

i got to be a player the other day!!!! in a super fun game of Mothership!!

of course i had to draw my greasy little guy

his name is Kai McNeil. he is an assistant engineer on the little outdated research submarine (half of why he was hired was because he is Smol and can get in the tight places for repairs). he is also here for corporate espionage! grimy little guy doing shit for the highest bidder.
