About me
I first stumbled upon roleplaying games almost 15 years ago and I was taken since the first moment. Playing as a dwarf adventurer, vampire businessman or a jedi knight was amazing experience, but I soon found my true passion in being game master. I have since led a lot of games, both for my friends and for new players at conventions. And in the past year I started to host games online. Good story is the most important element for me in RPG, but player agency is a close second. You should always be able to to make interesting choices, to go off course and chart your own way through the narrative.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen at the start of the game using standard Mothership 1e rules.
Dead Weight Something's about to go terribly wrong aboard the Adamant Lapis. Amongst stacks of unremarkable rock samples, gravel, and ore, there's a large and featureless sphere that does absolutely nothing; Unless you're already dead. Cadavers are pulled inward with the force of a hundred starship engines, tearing through bulkhead and flesh alike. The hull groans from strain. Oxygen hisses through the punctured hull. Every single member of the crew is a potential projectile.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Pc with browser and microphone is needed, webcam and stable internet connection is appreciated. I will explain the rules at the start and handle character creation at the same time. Dice rolling and character sheets will be handled by Foundry VTT. Discord account for group discussion is a bonus.
What captain66 brings to the table
I will bring VTT, tokens, maps, rules and sourcebooks. Also experience and hopefully fun.
