About the adventure

The Orbital Academy for Gifted Youngsters: a 1-million-credit-a-semester prestigious private middle school / satellite space station created by Protagoras Co. All communication went dark 4 days ago. A rich executive is willing to pay a king’s ransom to extract his daughter from the OAGY. To get her out, you’ll have to face the horrific truth of the Academy. Study hard and check your notes- you’re about to get a lesson in fear! The Orbital Academy for Gifted Youngsters is a trifold sci-fi horror scenario designed for use with the Mothership RPG 1e (Tuesday Knight Games). Experience: - A ruined space-school setting full of gruesome surprises - A non-linear adventure- fight, bluff, sneak or hack your way through! - Six terrifying students that are more than they appear - A strange new drug with unexpected effects All writing and art by Benjamin Xiaofang Hurley -- This is a one-shot adventure. Enjoyed this Mothership adventure? There is always the opportunity to continue into other one-shots or a campaign! -- Please note this is a PLAY BY POST game! What is Play by Post? - Play-by-post (PbP) is a way of playing a tabletop role-playing game through written messages instead of live sessions. - Players and the GM post messages our Discord channel - Each post describes: what your character says, what they do, sometimes what they think or notice - Posts happen asynchronously - You don’t all need to be online at the same time How my Play by Post games work: - I will respond at least 3-4 times every 24 hours - Battlemaps will be provided on Roll20 - Combat is done in this order: players > monsters > players and so on (this is to keep the game moving) Why Play by Post? Play-by-post often: - has more descriptive prose - allows inner monologue and detail - feels closer to collaborative fiction - gives time to think before acting Great if you: - Have a busy schedule - Have social anxiety about voice chat - Love writing and character depth As always message me if you have any questions. I look forward to rolling with you at the table!

About me

Hi, I'm Lydia! As a child I'd always loved to role play, and when I realized we can still role play for fun as adults I jumped in and never looked back. I fell in love with D&D 5 years ago and have DMed for 2 years, and recently fell in love with Mothership. My goal is to have epic adventures together while making sure everyone has a great time.
