About the adventure
Content Warning: Alcoholism, Infection, Vomiting, Gore * Join us in this award-winning Mothership horror adventure! Xiao! Long! Bao! is a trendy new grub spot on Prospero's Dream that serves home-made dim sum. Customers agree: Head Chef Uncle Bao makes the best soup dumplings this side of the Milky Way. But… There's a reason Uncle Bao keeps his secret recipe so close to his chest, and there’s a reason his competitors are dying to steal it. D’ya wanna learn how the mincemeat is made? The truth will make you sick to your stomach… * Xiao! Long! Bao! is a sci-fi horror scenario designed for use with the Mothership RPG 1e (Tuesday Knight Games). Experience: - Body horror and investigative mystery - A fully mapped dim sum restaurant with multiple paths (and its own menu!) - Tips for running X!L!B! as a one-shot or as part of a campaign on Prospero's Dream - An Alien-inspired monstrosity that turns your insides against you! All writing and art by Benjamin Xiaofang Hurley -- 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 the day I realized we can still role play for fun as adults was a beautiful one. I fell in love with D&D 5 years ago and have DMed for 2 years. My goal is to have epic adventures together while making sure everyone has a great time.
