About the adventure
You've been diverted by the Company to a tropical jungle world called Samsa VI. Communications with the research station went dark & they want you to re-establish power, rendezvous with the platoon commander, & recover any scientific samples. 3 months in cryosleep aboard the Metamorphosis and you reach the Samsa system..

About me
TL;DR: Immersive Mothership for new players Hey Spacer, If you think Mothership looks cool, let's play. Another Bug Hunt's first scenario has been some of the most fun I've had RPG-ing in a long time. You should share in that fun too! I enjoy player-driven experiences rich with narrative. My goal when playing RPGs is to seek the same sense of wonder I feel when reading a good novel. To attain that, rather than pre-write stories I come up with in my head, we meet at the (virtual) table to discover the story. Narratives unfold in unforeseen ways. Paired with the structure of Mothership modules, we have the formula for perfect sci-fi horror. Saddle up!

Creating your character
Mothership character creation is breezy & fun, involving lots of random rolling. There's a Character Creation app for iPhone / Android which I encourage you to use. We will do creation live with the group so we can discover the party together. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. After that, we'll drop in and play your first session of Mothership.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone & a computer screen to play this one. I use OwlbearRodeo for our VTT, mostly as a mood board / table to pin documents. Voice communication / music happens on Discord. Digital dice are available through a Discord app, or you're free to use your own. I recommend printing out both a Basic & Advanced character profile from https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/pages/mothership-resources-downloads The Basic profile guides new players through character creation, while the Advanced profile is a cleaner, minimalist sheet. Otherwise, bring a pen & a few scraps of paper to take notes. Much of the game takes place in the theatre of the mind, with the map being lightly referenced.
What Andrew brings to the table
VTT: Owlbear.rodeo (free) Maps: Mothership modules provide a great assortment of game maps. Tokens: Feel free to send me character art; it's quick & easy to make them into map tokens. **I don't care to measure distances, but tokens are a great way to visualize positioning when SHTF!

How Andrew creates a safe table
Lines and veils works well for me. I won't be gratuitous around sensitive topics, rather fading to black with as much taste as possible. If there are things you really don't want to see in the game, reach out privately & I'll be sure to respect that boundary / enforce it if necessary.
