About the adventure
This bi-weekly MOTHERSHIP one-shot will feature a different, yet interconnected, scenario each time. If you've played a previous one I've hosted you're more than welcome to bring your surviving character into the next go, see if they manage to remain lucky! On the docket for the next session... 🪱WORMFOOD🪱 - Having taken on too much debt, or something just as bad, you've grown desperate enough to have signed up for a deep space salvage crew aboard the scrapper ship known as the CONDOR. Your sole purpose is to fish out stranded vessels in well-known routes full of dangerous phenomena. Unsurprisingly, most of the time it's just barely valuable waste. Maybe some spare fuel, if you're lucky, but everyone who gets on this line of work does so with the wild hope of striking it rich. A hold fuel of precious minerals, a valuable corpo data bank, or whatever else will net you enough credits to be able to sleep soundly again. On one such outing, your group finds an odd vessel limping through an asteroid belt. Its long range comms are busted and the ship's readings shows clear signs of system damage. To say that this is an opportunity would be an understatement. Time to cross your fingers and dive in...

About me
Going more than a decade strong in the hobby. Started with nothing more than a group of friends with a second-hand 3.5 player handbook and now I've got at least a dozen campaigns under my belt in all sorts of systems, from 5e to Dark Heresy and Delta Green. What I aim to bring is... - 1️⃣ A table where people can speak to one another casually and easily. Good vibes, good jokes, good times. - 2️⃣ Helping players spread their wings with their roleplay chops. I want to know your character's backstory, the people they care about and those they loathe in equal measure. Weaving together everything the players bring to the table is, I've found, the best way to create memorable moments. - 3️⃣ Challenging combat with stakes. I'll fully admit that I usually start off with kiddy gloves to measure how capable my players are, but once I know your limits I'll be having you ride the fine line between living and dying. If my rolls actually work out, that is... - 4️⃣ A space where you can come to me behind the scenes without worry. If something comes up that puts a damp in your enjoyment, your schedule is suddenly hellish, or practically anything else? If it's within my power to change then let's see what we can do!

Creating your character
Character creation will occur before the game on a group chat on Discord. All I need to know is what class you're interested in running and I'll roll up the details in Foundry! All of the choices, such as what skills to focus on, will be left up to the player.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Game will be hosted on Sqyre, so making an account there will be necessary. I'll send details for the Discord server to join where we'll handle both future games and voice. At least a basic understanding of the rules is, of course, very much necessary to at least play the game. Please check out my L2Ps if you are interested in having a test run first!
What Kralion brings to the table
Modules for combat visuals, macros for ease of play, a noble attempt at different voices, hand-picked music, a curated atmosphere, and custom maps!
Homebrew rules
As MOTHERSHIP features an absolutely dizzying array of modules, with a vast majority of them being quite high quality, the allowance of certain materials, such as new items or classes, will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Submit it to me for review and I'll see!

How Kralion creates a safe table
As MOTHERSHIP is a game of horror and atmosphere, each player will be interviewed beforehand to know what they'll be comfortable with seeing. This way Lines and Veils are established and, ideally, we can conduct a session without any need for a sudden break. My DMs are always on open on Discord during the game to bring forth an X or N card for whatever situation may arise. We will, when everyone on the group is good for it, conduct at least one 10 to 15 minute break during each session to stretch, decompress, have a drink, take a bio break, etc.
