About the adventure
Not all spacefarers are owned by the capitalist overlords. Some have the good fortune of descending from galactic royalty, experiencing the rare freedom necessary to travel wherever their progenitors' credits are accepted. This rarified group of self-sovereigns often collect "friends" along the way, curry-favoring bootlickers who will sacrifice personal egos to rub elbows with the elite. Others find themselves in the orbit of these genteel sycophants to fulfill an array of useful services. No matter who they are, these folks are always just "along for the ride." Such is your situation. And you've been reined in for a little soiree. Upstairs Corp’s abandoned Hodder Forest Reserve Habitat drifts at the edge of Corespace, furnishing wealthy corporate scions a party spot away from their gilded cages’ ever-present surveillance. Learning the domed habitat was recently condemned to the orbital scrapyards, you and your friends head over for one last shindig. It’s the anniversary of a mysterious accident that resulted in 50 workers’ deaths and the park’s closure: urban legends swirl, hearts race… Something stirs in Hodder Forest’s depths.

About me
I've been playing fantasy TTRPGS since I was a kid. Multiple campaigns, numerous one shots, several game systems, and thousands of hours later, here I am, hoping to expand my abilities as a Game Master and eager to share my passion for role play and combat with players new and old. I'm throwing my name into the hat, questing with reckless abandon to be your first, next, or even favorite Master of the Dungeon. With 25 years of acting, writing, and storytelling under my belt, a love for creativity and role playing, and generous-but-not-gratuitous application of the Rule of Cool, all in an effort to make your gameplay as dynamic and fun as possible, I'm ready to start. Care to join me?

Creating your character
Character creation in Mothership happens at light speed. Players are invited to roll up their PC at the top of the session with step-by-step guidance from the Game Warden. If you’re looking for a faster-than-light creation experience, download the free Mothership Companion App (2025 ENnie Award Winner!) for your device, or use the web-based app. It’s super intuitive, a cakewalk to use, and even comes with its own built-in game training module. Check out the links below to add it to your ship’s systems. Mothership Companion App (Mac): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mothership-companion/id1606212377 Mothership Companion App (Google): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threepointsoftware.mothership&hl=en_US Mothership Companion Web: www.MothershipCompanion.com If you prefer the analog approach to character creation, check out the printable PDF here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0022/2727/3817/files/Mothership-Character-Sheet.pdf?v=1713672550 Did I mention—you'll probably want to roll up more than one. This game is as deadly as it gets.

What DM Trenton brings to the table
Discord server for game chat, Mothership VTT and library of tokens, character sheets, ambient and battle music, character voices and various sound effects to complete the horrific immersion.
Homebrew rules
We'll be playing this highly abstract rules system by the book. Designed to involve open discussion and negotiation between players and Warden (GM). You'll find no long list of rules to memorize beforehand. Simply learn as you play. It doesn't get easier than this.
