Outer Rim Marches, #0.1

In January, I started a westmarches campaign for Mothership RPG. This is the first post in a series of play reports and mini-reviews I intend to share of the campaign-in-progress.

Let's call this post "Zero Session #1," in a series of Zero Session posts, where I'll get into the how/why of organizing and running this campaign.

Why? Well, I own a ton of Mothership modules. I've been playing and writing for Mothership RPG for over two years, yet most of my sessions became playtests and that "work-only" connection to the game was burning me out.

So, I decided to build a sandbox campaign around the physical MoSh games I have in hand, and to find folk to play at an open table.

For now, ok, sure, it's more of an open table sandbox for interconnected one-shots than a "true" westmarches game, especially since the game has only one GM (me, but I'm hoping to open that up soon). But Outer Rim Marches sounds cool, eh?

Initial Forward Operating Base (F.O.B.)

The PCs arrived at Sater's Redemption. They work for The Company, who hired them to represent their new presence amid a mess of other factions, and leases a ship, The Orpheus, to the Crew.

(We decided the official corporation name of The Company that owns their ship will be revealed in play. That hasn't happened yet, eight sessions later. I love hanging this important piece of worldbuilding in the balance for when it can have a bigger narrative impact. Not knowing wtf is going to happen is one of my favorite parts of running ttrpgs.)

The Crew's job: explore the Outer Rim to establish footholds in new trading hubs (F.O.B.s), discover novel exploitable resources (artifacts), capture profitable exobiological lifeforms, and spread the influence of The Company.

The above graphic might be familiar to folk who follow my substack, the 5 Million Worlds Rokaner Report. Each month, I release a free sci-fi adventure setting, and this station was the featured world in the April edition. A taste of things to come.

Game Organization

When I set out to recruit players, the first important bit was setting a firm, regular playtime. When people reached out, I sent them the Consent in Gaming fillable PDF to get an idea of collective Lines/Veils. Once I got that back, I sent a google survey to gauge interest in modules and game commitment to split folks into ping-able groups.

The playtime is working out well. We had one three week break, I was out sick one time, and only once did we have not have enough folk to play. Ten sessions out of a possible fifteen since January!

I kinda fucked up the module-interest part of the survey though. I listed module names, and without content tags this was pretty useless for the players (outside the BIG names, like Hull Breach). I intend to redo this survey soon, and I'll share a copy here when I do!

The player commitment bit was super helpful, at least. Since I run games on Discord, I split players into three groups: the Command crew who vote on which job to take, the mainline players are the Crew I ping each week to advertise the game (I make an "Event" in Discord), and and a final Cryo group to call on when games don't fill up right away.

This has worked super well for me, even when I drop the ball on giving the players the Event ping in advance.

The Sector Map

I built this hexmap using Sectors Without Number, which is a sector generator for Stars Without Number. I opted for this against the recommendations of Mothership's Warden's Operation Manual because in a westmarches campaign, from what I've understood, the world is meant to be established once the game begins. I think this is especially important should other GMs and player groups begin playing in this world.

To be blunt, I found using this is kind of annoying. There's a lot of irrelevant SWN info to delete, TONS of systems to hide individually, and it's pretty intensive to integrate module info into the systems.

In short, listen to Sean McCoy's advice in the Warden's Operation Manual if you're starting your own Mothership game and don't fucking do this, haha.

And to be honest, I'm not sold on this even being useful as a sandbox tool intended to be shared with other GMs, even. The verdict is still out. To be continued in another Zero Session post down the line.

ANYWAY! This map looks empty, but that's because it's the player-facing starcharts the Company gave them. PCs need to buy hyperspace route maps at various hubs to explore beyond these bounds. So the star and hyperlane layers hold loads of hidden info.

Feel free to poke around the current state of the sector.

And I do like the shift from a web to hexmap. Little swirls of points get me all crossed up. The Jump-drive distances in Mothership are amenable to using hexes, and tracking distance (i.e. time passed) is straightforward.

ORM Campaign Sneak Peek

Mothership space travel takes a long-ass time, in case you didn't know. To date, we've played nine adventures over ten sessions, and over two years have passed in the campaign world.

The players skipped over a lot of systems to go to Hardlight, which they've recently learned is on the edge of the Public Sector (from Hull Breach). Gonna be some interesting sessions coming up.

The next Outer Rim Marches post will be the official ORM#1, in which the players board the lauded Year of the Rat.

Spring Awakening catapulted stars Lea Michele, Jonathan Groff and Skylar Astin to fame when it hit Broadway in 2006 — and created an original musical that inspired a generation.

“I just learned that Dan [Radcliffe‘s Merrily We Roll Along] understudy, Coby [Getzug], came to see Spring Awakening when we were on Broadway when he was 16. Now we’re on Broadway together,” Groff, who made his Broadway debut in the show at age 21, exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024. “I was just talking to him about the documentary. It’s incredible. Yeah, theater really saved me. Looking back, I didn’t realize it was saving me … I was so compartmentalized and so closeted that I didn’t realize at the time what a lifeline getting to sing and dance and emote and cry and be joyful at all of that was when I was that age.”

Spring Awakening was inspired by Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play of the same name. Nearly a century later, Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater came together to pen the music, book and lyrics. The show follows a group of 19th century German teenagers as they discover their sexuality. Michele and Groff, who became BFFs during the Broadway run, played leads Wendla Bergmann and Melchior Gabor, respectively.

Spring Awakening was eventually revived on Broadway in 2015 by Deaf West Theatre Company, integrating American Sign Language (ASL) into the choreography.

Nearly 15 years after Spring Awakening first debuted on the Great White Way, the original cast reunited for a special concert, which raised money for the Actor’s Fund. The one-night-only performance was filmed for HBO, and Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known premiered in May 2022. The cast performed at the Tonys one month later.

Scroll below to see what the original Spring Awakening cast members have been up to since their Broadway tenure:

Jonathan Groff

The Mindhunter alum played lead Melchior in the original production before going on to land roles on One Life to Live, Boss, Frozen, The Normal Heart, Glee, Looking and The Matrix Resurrections. He returned to Broadway in 2015 in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical, playing King George. The Pennsylvania native had brief roles in 2022’s And Just Like That and Life & Beth. He won his first Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical in June 2024 for Merrily We Roll Along.

Groff, who publicly came out in 2009, was previously linked to actors Gavin Creel and Zachary Quinto.

Spring Awakening and the dangers of miscommunication

Spring Awakening: A Children’s Tragedy by German writer Frank Wedekind, released in 1891 has transcended it’s time and proves to remain relevant 130 years after it was first published, now adopting a new form, and even furthering it’s message in the format of musical theatre.

Spring Awakening’s first musical incarnation debuted on Broadway on December 10, 2006, a bit less than two decades after it’s conception by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik. The original Broadway production starred Lea Michele, Jonathan Groff, and John Gallagher Jr., among others. The musical follows the story of teenager in 19th century Germany who begin to discover and their own sexualities but lack the tools to do so safely, for they are abused and dismissed by the adults in their life.

We first meet Wendla Bergmann, who, in the song “Mama Who Bore Me” -along with the rest of the girls in “Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)”- expresses her frustrations to her mother as she does not understand how she’s about to become an aunt for the second time but does not know where babies come from, question that her mother refuses to answer. An important aspect to note is the anachronism in the setting of the story and the musical pieces, as the score consists of mainly rock music with folk influences, and to further enhance this choice, the characters break out into song by pulling out handheld microphones, breaking out of the diegesis of the story in a moment of teen angst.

Then come Melchior Gabor and Moritz Stiefel, best friends. Melchior is an intellectual and an atheist, ideas that make the girls swoon over him. In the song “All That’s Known” he reflects on the shortcomings of adults and specially the current schooling system, a place where, we just learned before the song, kids such as Moritz and himself get beaten up for making mistakes and standing up for themselves. The story goes on as Moritz explains he hasn’t been able to study or sleep because of night terrors plagued with images of women’s legs, wet dreams, as Melchior later explains to him, showing him a diagram of the male and female anatomies during “Touch Me”. Long story short, a romance begins between Wendla and Melchior, resulting in the unexpected pregnancy of the first, which leads then to her death during a clandestine attempt at an abortion. Moritz is kicked out of school for his deficient performance and sees no other choice but to take his own life. Characters like Martha have equally tragic developments, as she admits her father has been repeatedly abusing her both physically and sexually as her mother looks the other way but refuses to come forward against him lest she end up like Ilse, another girl of the group who is now homeless, having shared a similar fate as Martha. The musical ends with “Song of Purple Summer”, a very metaphoric song that gives us time to reflect over the dangers of miscommunication and how necessary is that adults change their perspective on how to raise their children, making this a cautionary tale against an adult centric world where children and teenagers can’t live freely.

I recommend the 2015 Deaf West revival of the show that further explores the themes of the original by casting deaf and hard-of-hearing actors (performing in American SIgn Language) making the miscommunication between the generations even clearer, as well as featuring the first wheelchair user in the history of Broadway, performer Ali Stoker.

Spring Awakening Fandom Tag (answered by a diehard Wedekind 'Spring Awakening' fangirl)

(By @winter-asleepening )

1. how were you introduced to the show?

I read the Wikipedia synopsis back when I was sixteen, and was shocked - steered clear of it, but was curious about the source material. I read the original play when I was twenty-four, and fell madly in love with it. After that, I listened to some of the songs, just to compare the adaptation to the original - the music's definitely catchy. :) And I have some friends who've been in it, and other friends who like it a lot - I can appreciate the tunes (musically - not so much the lyrics, which sometimes are kind of cringe or don't make much sense, IMO).

2. Seen a production live?

No (I wouldn't feel comfy doing so), but I've seen a lot of 'slime tutorials,' especially of a production a few of my friends were in last spring (March 2022).

3. Dream role/character you relate to most

Wendla (in the OG play) - I love her optimism, thoughtfulness, and sweetness. She's the kind of girl I'd love to have as a friend (and she reminds me of my middle-school self).

4. Favorite male character

Hänschen (again, in the play) - he's a cynic with a heart of gold, such a cinnamon roll. I love the moment in Moritz's funeral scene when he calls out the other boys for bullying him. Second fave is OG Melchior; he's very cocky, clever, and rather charming - high-key reminds me of the boy I had a crush on in middle school, lol.

5. Favorite female character

Again, Wendla - if I have to pick a second fave, I'd say Ilse (in the play - she's a little loopy, but her heart's definitely in the right place).

6. Deaf West Revival or Original Broadway Cast?

Neither, actually - I'm partial to the cast my friends were in (it was a wonderfully talented group).

7. Favorite song

"My Junk" - singing it casually while doing housework this year has really improved my belt range. :)

8. Least favorite song

Like I've said, I'm not a fan of the musical (though I appreciate the songs' tunefulness), so I can't make a definitive call on this, but off the top of my head I guess it'd be "And Then There Were None."

9. Favorite quote/line

Ok - backstory: my friendship with my guy friend who played Hänschen in the 2022 production grew out of our discussion of the Desdemonalogue in the musical versus the play (I explained that he doesn't pleasure himself in the play), so because of that memory, I'm gonna say it's "Have you prayed tonight, Desdemona?"

10. Favorite TV performance

"Bitch of Living" on Letterman is pretty good.

11. Favorite cast member(s)

None - although Lea Michele's voice is lovely (and she herself is beautiful - a cast mate in a show I was in back in 2010 told me I looked like her - I had no idea who she was then, but now I realize it was a compliment & I appreciate it). :)

12. Favorite cast member moment

I'm not versed in the cast lore.

13. Do you write fan fiction?

Nope.

14. Do you make fan art?

No.

15. Do you cosplay?

No.

16. Don’t do Sadness or Blue Wind?

I enjoy singing "Blue Wind," so I'll go with that.

17. Word of your body or the Reprise?

The Reprise - specifically as performed by my friend and his Ernst (another friend of mine). Yes, I'm a biased girlie. ;)

18. Touch Me or My Junk?

"My Junk" - because of how singing it's improved my voice and because of that discussion of it with my friend who played Hänschen.

19. Explain the song of purple summer

In Spring Awakening: Those You've Known, Steven Sater talks about how the purple is the "bruise of love" the (living) characters will be carrying with them for the rest of their lives.

20. Explain the song of purple summer (wrong answers only)

Sater was higher than a kite when writing it.

My Savior || Wayne McCullough

A/N: Just some teenage girl trying to write the story inside her head, hope u like it.

Pairing: Wayne McCullough x oc

Warnings: rape, intention of rape, harassment, blood mention, bullying, language (a little strong)

.................

.................

I've always like to watch him by far, he just seems different from the rest (and oh boy, he is).

The first time I saw him I was in 7th grade. I was just one more girl of the many others that her tities just had started to show and my period started to visit me. I remember that day clearly, I was sitting at the hallway with my bestfriend at the time, eating infront of our lockers when I saw him.

"Am telling ya girl, the answer of number 5 was c." I said trying to reason with her about the science test answers "I told you that if u needed help to study, I could help ya." I smile at her and move my arm upward to touch her shoulder

"Yeah, yeah, I know...are you sure it was not D?" she said frowning her eyebrows once more. We stayed in silence for a sec before bursting into laughter and tears

Little by little our laughs started to fade, allowing ears to hear the background and aswell some loud voices, it sounded like an argument but by the hears of it a fight was going to start soon. "What you think is happening over there?" Cassie murmured, I stared at the end of the hallway where apparently was were the voices were coming from.

"I don't know..." my lips formed a thin line while I was thinking about what could have been happening in there, "You wanna, you know, go and see?" I looked back at my friend

"Freak yeah" she laughed grabbing my hand and running down the hallway to see the soon to be fight.

Once we got there, there was a mass of students surrounding what appeared to be the ones who where arguing. "Ugh, I can't see, I hate been so small." I said, "Hey, that smallness is beautiful and you know you can use that in your own benefit" Cassia said and winked at me.

"I mean, yeah but I can't-" my word stopped at the moment I heard a want sounded and I believe to be a punch in the face. "You saw that!?" Cassie said, "That was freaking awesome, please tell me you saw it!" "Um, nah Cassie, I cant see a crap" i said while trying to find a whole where to see through.

It was only a matter of seconds until more punches were heard. I started pushing people more frantically, I wanted to see what was happening. When I get pass a few amount of studens I almost slipped, looked sown to see what was it and it was stains of blood, only a few but still.

"Oh gosh, disgusting." When I look up only a few students are still in the cafeteria and a guy wearing a grey hoddie was just there, staring at the bloodie face of another guy. I stared back at the hoddie guy and noticed a little hammer in his hand, and the words just came out of my mouth without even noticing, "Why the hammer? Want to be a constructed or something?" He just stared at me and pass by me without saying a word and keeping a neutral face.

"Who the hell was that crazy ass weirdo?" I hear Cassie's voice behind me. "I don't know" I responded, "But I will know...one day."

"Ok,ok, am not going to get in between your little search thingi but am sure he is not good news." Cassie said, "You saw what he did, and he has a FREAKING hammer, y/n! Covered in blood y/n!" She grabbed my shoulders from behind, "I think we all understood the message, stay the fuck away from him, honey."

And I just smiled.

Months later I learned his name. Wayne, Wayne McCullough. Fits the ring if you ask me. Everyone was speaking about how violent, crazy and wierdo he was, about how he was going to show up at your house to beat the hell put of you.

I just observed him by far, well, I like to think that I noticed him. I noticed how he usually beats up those who are some assholes jerks that have only one brain cell as much. Noticed that he is not much of a talker and a shy boy. Noticed how he makes his lips thin when he gets lost in thoughts. How he closes his fist when he is about to do something. His strangely high pain tolerance. His pale skin and dark hair appeared to me to be very llamative and aswell his strength. He was and is skinny but somehow has a great strength, maybe do to the unincredible amounts of fights he gets in. Experience makes the master is what the say...right?

Years went by, we entered to highschool and the nervousness along with the fast beating, sweating and butterflies were still there every time i either tought about him or saw him walking around.

Cassie stayed with me for a while until she decided to join the group of nasty ass bitches with no brain cells who believed no one was better than them. While I...well, I stayed small for a big part I guess, always with good grades, teachers love me and try to be nice with every one I guess.

Everything was going great until Cassie along with some guys recorded me somehow while being drunk and them trying to overpass the boundaries, and let me tell ya.. that was just the start.

The had videos of me at the school bathroom, pictures of my underwear under my skirts and dresses, them trying to touch me. I had to learn to defend myself, stopped using skirts, dresses, shorts even do I loved wearing the. Replace my shoes with tennis and always had hair ties.

"Y/n, wake up! You're going to be late for school, don't think ama wait for you!" I mom yelled.

"Yes, mom! Dont worry, am up!" I run down the stairs with my backpack, went to the kitchen, grabbed an apple and went straight to the car.

"Oh for God sake, y/n" she said went she looked at me and noticed my new hair style.

"What? You don't like it? I just cut it a little." I satered at her innocently

"Your father is not gonna like it and you know it." She said and the stress lines appeared in her forehead, "You know this is his weekend and-"

She couldn't finish her sentence because I started taking, "Am not going to that dickheads house, mother." I said strainly, "Don't want to see his and face of that bitch he cheated you with..." i lowly said but loud enough to hear.

"I know, honey but you have to and besides you get to see your brother!" She patted my thigh, "Haven't seen him in a while right?" She said with a sad tone

"You should be the one seeing him...not me." I stared outside the window, there were just some trees and houses and garbage.

Mom and dad divorced a while back, he cheated on her. The house was a mess that day, screams and broken glass everywhere. Sammy was lucky, he was at grandma's but I was home...listening to every single word. That was also the first time a sneaked out and the first time I sort-of spoke to Wayne.

"What are you doing here?" I heard someone said behind me, I looked and it was fucking Wayne

"Just trying to have some quietness i guess..." I stared at my fingers and started playing with them because of my nervousness, "...What are you doing here?" I asked softly

And he stayed silent...the whole time after that. Either way, his company was nice and the side profile, ufff, amazing.

"Ok, we are here." I stared at the building for a sec before giving my mother a kiss in her cheek and entered to the building.

"Hey y/n! Nice ass!" That was the jerk of all jerks, Jonathan.

I turned around and stared at him, "Oh yeah?" He nodded, "Want to see me shop of your dick?" Changed my tone while saying that into a lower and more serious tone. He just stared at me with sealed lips and left.

I continued walking to my locker and I come to see tgat my freaking lock is broken, I search in all the spaces but nothing is missing.

"Come on! They had just changed me of locker!" I silently yelled. Started grabbing my books for the next few classes when I felt a hand in my shoulder, by instinct I grabbed the wrist, pushed the person against the locker and added pressure in the throat with my other arm.

"Hey y/n" Orlando smiled, "New move?" I chuckled and removed my arm, now, standing face to face I respond

"You know you shouldn't do that Orlando bunny." I laugh st the nickname I gave him a few time ago. Orlando was one of the few FEW people who talked to me, well, he talked to everyone but still.

"I know... I just forgot I guess man." He looked down, "Y/n...have your tities grown bigger?" His face looked confused.

I slapped his head and punched his shoulder, "Could you please stop looking and thinking 'bout tities when am around you?"

"I mean, yeah sure...and sorry about your lock." He points the locker, "Wayne thought it was still his but since-" I cut him off before he could continue

"Wayne?" I asked confused

"Yeah, Is tha-" i cut him off again

"Why did he tho?" I murmured staring at my lock in hand.

"It used to be his locker but oh well...he missed school for 3 weeks and yeah." He grabs his backpacks laces after explaining.

"Oh...ok, is he still here tho?" I looked at Orlando

"I guess..." he was about to say pther thing when the bell ring and we started to go toour classes, "See you later gorgeous!" He yells from the corner of the hallway.

I stayed there...just staring at my lock for a while, then order my things fast and left to class. What I didn't know was that someone was watching at me.

Three days later, i was walking back home and i heard s car going at full speed and nasty comments were started to be listend. I kept walking trying tk pretend they didn't exist when the car is suddenly over the sideway and infront of me.

"YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME ASSHOLES!!" I yelled.

"But...you are bot dead right, bitch?" Jonathan said getting out of the car. There were five, 2 guys and 3 girls. "Don't prefer to suck my dick and be my slut, promise I'll pay a good amount." He said infront of me,

"She is already a slut baby." Veronica said

"I bet she has sleeped with half school, wouldn't surprise me if you haven been org*e or something." You know, comments are comments, you are the one who decide what hurt you and whats does not, but being Cassie the one who said that...broke my freaking heart.

I couldn't stand it anymore, wanted to leave the place so i came up with a plan very fast. I walked closer to Jonathan trying to be the most seductive I could, touched his chest, abs and got closer to his ear and said, "You are going to regret everything" Punched him with all my strenght in this genitiles, stomp on his feet, punched his nose and ran the faster I could out of there.

"You bitch!" I heard from far but i continued running, I couldn't stop, i was scared, didn't know what could happen if the get me. I could hear the car engines behind me, but i didn't stop.

I was close a bridge, ran underneath it, passed some houses but i could still hear the voices and car. My legs hurt, i needed to catch my breath, i could hear my heart beat, my body felt on fire. When I less expected am suddenly trapped, there were some abandoned buildings and warehouses but no way to get put of there. This was it, my end.

"Couldn't escape from me you nasty little bitch!?" I heard his voice, i was never one to pray but believe when i say i begged to God to save me. "You ain't going anywhere...bitch" he was behind me, I could sense it.

My hair was pulled, he pulls me by my hair to his car and i notice that it's just him and another guy. Am not getting out of here.

"We are going to have so much fun!" He licks my cheek and i try to kick him wherever.

"HELP!" I yelled, "SOMEBODY PLEASE, HELP!" my voice sounded horrific, like if i hadn't drank a single drop of water in ages, "please" y murmure my last pledge before he finally puts me over the capo of his car.

"No one's gonna help you, you slut." He says, the other guy was just watching and standing still, doing nothing.

I gave up, didn't even notice I was crying until I tasted the salt in my lips. I felt him over me, unbucking my pants and then...i didnt felt his weight anymore, instead, i heard a cry of pain, and then another cry, and another and another.

I lifted my head and there he was, grey hoddie and little hammer in hand...my savior. I smiled.

My smile just grew bigger and bigger every second I saw that boy swing that motherfucker hammer, every second that Jonathan's blood was spilled. I lool around in search pf the pther guy scared that he might try to grab but I get calm when i see him unconscious on the floor.

A few minuts later th cries stop and i look up, Jonathan was missing 3 teeths and face covered with blood, i think he could even have a brocken rib or something.

Am sitting on top of the car's capo when a feel a slight, fragile touch.

"You ok?" Wayne askes pulling a string of my hair behind my ear.

"...now I am." I smile to him and he returns a little small tiny one with a grin. I was about to say something else when he suddenly speaks

"Want to be my girlfriend or whatever?" He says looking exhausted, I chuckle

"Try a little harder and I might be." I say soflty with a small thin smile and he avoids my eyes but I still get to notice a small blush.
