About the adventure
In the future, there is a society called the Universal Alliance that has transcended both poverty and elitism. A unified, multi-galaxy space conglomerate centered around equity and exploration. To these ends, they seek out the boldest and brightest among the 1,189 inhabited planets within their federation of worlds as crew for their space vessels dedicated to a mission of peace and property for all they encounter. But as these crews push ever further into deep space, they discover a much darker and hostile existence... --- This game of MOTHERSHIP will run 2 (maybe 3) sessions on consecutive Tuesdays.

About me
I am the co-producer of Kill Every Monster and the co-founder of Dead Ghost Productions. I run custom Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, MASKS, Vampire the Masquerade, DIE RPG, and Star Trek Adventures campaigns (plus a few more systems I am pretty good at). I like to tell vivid, relevant stories that give plenty of room for the players at my table to carve out their own pieces of the world via their character backstories and connections. I am also the co-founder of Dead Ghost Productions (deadghostpro.com) and the co-producer of the Dungeons and Dragons podcast, Kill Every Monster (killeverymonster.com)
