About the adventure
Dive into the heart-stopping horror of MOTHERSHIP, the gritty sci-fi RPG, in an online session featuring the intense survival scenario Alone in the Deep. Set aboard a derelict vessel lost to the void, you and your crew are on a terrifying mission to uncover what happened to the ship’s former inhabitants—or to simply survive and escape. In this high-stakes game, your character faces unimaginable cosmic horrors, depleting resources, and the psychological toll of isolation as they navigate the pitch-black corridors of a ship that seems disturbingly alive. Alone in the Deep is crafted to bring you into a world of mystery, despair, and lurking threats. As each player takes on a role—be it a hardened Marine, a coldly calculating Android, a curious Scientist, or a resourceful Teamster—you will need every ounce of your wits, skills, and teamwork to keep panic at bay and survive. Expect to make difficult decisions as your team encounters unexplainable phenomena, decaying machinery, and the creeping fear of being trapped with something that shouldn’t exist. In this online session, I will guide you through the nightmare as Warden, bringing atmospheric music, detailed descriptions, and spine-chilling encounters to keep you on the edge of your seat. This session is designed for both veteran MOTHERSHIP players and newcomers eager to experience sci-fi horror at its finest. The experience will last approximately 3 hours, and includes an orientation on the rules for new players.

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need Discord, a decent mic/headset, and a stable internet connection. You do not need to read the rules ahead of time, but may do so if you'd like. Otherwise you can just jump in, make a character along with the rest of the crew, and join in some sci-fi horror fun!
What I provide
I will host the game on Foundry VTT. The game will not use battlemaps or tokens, but rather theatre of the mind style play. We will use Foundry for dice rolling, displaying handouts and playing thematic background music. As a GM, I like to take player ideas and run with them, and give players a chance to help shape the narrative of the game. If you have fun, off-the-wall ideas you'd like to try, I am happy to help find a way to make them work - but there might be consequences on a failure, naturally.
Gameplay details
We will start the session with a conversation about the content warnings that are listed for the game, then do character creation together, before getting started with the game. At the end, we will set aside some time for a debrief if needed and wanted, and for players to give feedback.
