About the adventure
The absolute silence of the space travel is disturbed only by humming of the life support systems on board of the Tempest. Cryopods keep you in stasis on your way to the next stop - an asteroid mined for rare elements. The rock happens to cross your usual freight route so the Corporation added some supplies to drop there and instructed you to pick something up. The extra break is always welcome. You can strech your legs, cryo sickness hits a bit less when you split the jumps and seeing people in space does good for the sanity. All seems great, nothing to worry about. It's the last stop before well deserverd shore leave - what can go wrong...? _____________________________________________________________________ This is one of the classic pamphlet scenarios for Mothership - space horror system. Character creations is very fast and streamlined but the game is also quite deadly. The scenario is open ended and every playthrough is different. Join and let's tell another story together. What will happen on Y14 this time?

About me
Hi, I'm Szopen! Over 25+ years I have witnessed and gladly embraced the evolution of our hobby. At my table you will have the opportuninty to take active part in telling the story, adding elements to our world and shaping the events that happen during the games. I like to give as much agency as players and PCs want, so that even prewritten adventures can change and evolve. We collaboratively create the fiction. My favourite popular GM is Brennan Lee Mulligan and I agree with everything I've heard or read from The Alexandrian My 6 recent systems: - D&D 5e - Year Zero Engine (specifically indie ttrpg about being a dragon rider that's about to be translated to english somwhere 2026) - FATE accelerated - Mage the Ascension (old World of Darkness) - City of Mist (and its successor Otherscape) - Daggerheart I've played and ran tons of other systems so if you're interested in something specific - text me!

Creating your character
At the start of the session we will roll the characters in a very streamlined process. I will send out character sheets and recommend the mobile companion app if you prefer that.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
- Web browser - Microphone - Speaker or Headphones and a space free of background noise - Discord account (free account) - Owlbear rodeo (free account) - a single d20, and d% or two distinct d10s (digital dice are available as well but I am a dice goblin)
What Szopen brings to the table
- Owlbear Rodeo VTT with maps and tokens - Discord with Kenku FM as our music bot - One of the classic pamphlet Mothership modules - My own improvements inspired partially by legendary the Alexandrian - Hopefully a proper thrill of the space horror game

How Szopen creates a safe table
We will do a short session zero with character creation at the very start of the session. We will go through lines and veils there and I will accept them over private message as well if someone prefers that. We will have X, N, O cards built in our VTT. After the sessionn we will have some time for aftercare.
