Mothership: Dead Planet et al.

How to prepare

A decent internet connection (good enough to run discord with voice) is all that is really needed. Video is optional but not required (some prefer not using it to conserve bandwidth). Having some dice on hand (2d10 and 1d20) is also recommended. The free version of the Mothership Companion App is a plus, but by no means a requirement.

What I provide

I like to create an immersive setting using sounds effects, ambient music, detailed descriptions, and character voices. I'm a pretty relaxed GM and always open to creative solutions (and in Mothership, creative solutions or evasions tend to work far better than direct confrontation, its a pretty lethal game). I don't make folk role for every little thing, typically only when failure might cause a notable change in the story or when the consequences of failure are serious. Failure itself doesn't always mean a lack of success, in Mothership if often means success with unfortunate consequences. You can expect combat to have consequences. I am always happy to slow down or pause play to help clear up any confusion of how to play or potential options in a situation. I frequently work with and teach new players. The server will have a dice roller as well as pregens. I also make use of the discord whiteboard from time to time. I have the Mothership Companion Pro so am able to take any character you create on the companion (free or pro) and produce it for you.

Gameplay details

Lines and Veils can be found on listed on the discord server, you are free to add your own or contact me to add them anonymously. In Session ) we will go over character creation and gameplay expectations as well as a brief discussion as to why are characters are on this mission/a part of this crew. We will then jump into the adventure. At the end of each session we like to have a brief discussion of how we all felt about the game and anything that we would like to share. At the start of each subsequent session I typically do a little recap and check in before play. Its important to me to make sure that the table. virtual or otherwise, is a safe and fun place for everyone.

How will character creation work

Character creation can be a part of Session 0, or players can be selected from the list of pregens (first posted first picked) We will need roughly 6 different characters for the first 6 adventures. It is preferred that after session 0 new characters are submitted no less than 24 hours prior to game night. I am fully able to assist and make my self available via chat to help with making characters one on one or as part of a larger group.
