Sci-fi horror - Cargo delivery gone wrong
Mothership | One-Shot
About the adventure
"It was just a cargo delivery mission, they said. You are thinking about that while you see your friend who holds a gun having a panic attack and the other one thorn to pieces in front of you. Then, you hear it coming back for more" 😱 Horror in space 🕵️ Uncover the mystery before it is too late 💀 Your character will likely die 🚀 But escape is possible, run! Alien, The Thing, Event Horizon, Prometheus, and other Sci-fi horror classics are the inspiration for this short story. Your character gets stuck in a mysterious and deadly situation and you will have to try to navigate them out of it, but that is easier said than done. If you haven't played Mothership RPG yet, you don't need to know its rules before joining. I will explain the character sheet and game in the first 5 minutes of the games and that´s all we need to understand this easy to play game.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
