About the adventure
Another Bug Hunt is a sci-fi horror mini-campaign. You’ll play as employees sent on a routine corporate job at the edge of known space, the kind of assignment that looks simple on paper and pays just well enough to ignore your instincts. This is a game about survival, stress, and what happens when things go very, very wrong. This game uses the Mothership RPG ruleset, is easy to learn and quick to play, even if you’ve never tried a tabletop RPG before. The rules are light and stay out of the way so we can focus on making choices, reacting to surprises, and dealing with whatever the job throws at you. No prep or system knowledge needed. The game will blend suspense, dark humor, and cinematic chaos, with inspiration from movies like the Alien franchise and Starship Troopers. Expect tense moments, problem-solving under pressure, and plenty of "well that went horrible". If you’re curious about sci-fi horror but want something friendly, focused, and fun for a few sessions, we welcome you to Samsa VI.

About me
I've always had a special place in my heart for tabletop games, from the young age of 8 playing at my uncles weekly DnD campaign, to now almost 30 years later I love immersing myself and exploring in other worlds. As I "matured" I began running games for my friends at my local high school. I continued playing and running games through college, with friends as well as strangers at my local game store, and tabletop club events. I've played many TTRPGs, such as DnD, Mothership, various cypher systems, and Dark Heresy. I mainly run Mothership games now as I've become obsessed with the worlds I get to create using this system, I may run the occasional DnD adventure as well. As a technology person by trade, I like to incorporate tech into our games, though not at the expense of immersion or story. I try and replicate the in person tabletop experience, using amazing tools such as Discord for voice chat, FoundryVTT for maps and handouts, etc. I believe being a DM is allowing the players agency to tell their story in a setting that you've created. To facilitate this I have always provide clear expectations of player responsibilities to one another as well as myself. Any content warnings to discuss themes that should be adjusted. I've always made an effort for players to feel included and do not tolerate hate speech or bigotry of any kind. These tables are a safe space for all and for players to feel comfortable in my setting they must first be comfortable at the table.

We will host games on the mothership Companion app. I have the upgraded paid features to host this with maps as well as hots sessions. Mothership is great to run in a theater of the mind approach. There will be no grids or strict combat rules, we will be spooked and have fun.
