About the adventure
The Company sends crews to places already written off as losses: hostile planets, derelict ships, and coordinates that should not exist. Your job is to recover black boxes, document cosmic anomalies, and determine what went wrong… Insurance companies will do everything in their power to not pay out a payout. These missions are not about heroics or conquest; they are about evidence, liability, and surviving long enough to file a report and climb the ranks within The Company. This game is grounded in bleak sci-fi horror ran through a more narrative focused play by post based ruleset of Mothership, focusing on isolation, mounting panic, and the slow realisation that the universe is indifferent at best and actively hostile at worst. The setting blends corporate indifference with cosmic dread—malfunctioning equipment, unreliable data, and things that don’t behave according to known science. Answers are partial, truths are uncomfortable, and every discovery carries consequences. Violence is dangerous, information is incomplete, and fear is always justified. Play focuses on tension, decision-making under pressure, and character vulnerability rather than power fantasy. Sessions emphasise atmosphere, resource scarcity, and hard choices: Do you push deeper for answers, or cut your losses and run? The game is ideal for players who enjoy roleplaying fear, moral compromise, and doomed professionalism. If you enjoy Alien, Event Horizon, horror on the whole and games where survival is never guaranteed, then this is the mission you were never meant to come back from.

About me
I’m a passionate Game Master with a deep love for storytelling, immersive roleplay, and cinematic gameplay. I’ve been running tabletop RPGs for several years, with a focus on Daggerheart, Cyberpunk RED, Masks and more recently diving into some horror systems like Mothership. I specialise in crafting adventures with strong narrative arcs, dynamic NPCs, and a focus in player-driven choices that shape the world. My background includes years of experience in creative project management, which I now pour into building engaging campaigns, and memorable one-shots. Whether you’re a brand new player or a seasoned veteran, my goal is to create a fun, inclusive, and welcoming table where everyone gets a chance to shine. I love blending roleplay with tactical encounters, mystery, and moments of levity, and I’ll always make sure your character has a place in the story. Let’s roll some dice and tell an epic story together!

Creating your character
Players will create their base-level characters through the Mothership Companion app (with optional help through the Tasty Games discord).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need to get started is a Discord account and the free Mothership Companion app (available free on mobile and web). No books, no fancy setup. Just log in, build your character, and jump into the story. Everything else, from rules support to mission briefings, will be handled through the Tasty Games Discord.
What KingTasty (Elliot) brings to the table
As your GM, I focus on rich, character-driven storytelling where your choices genuinely matter and shape the world around you. I run games that are rules-light and fun-heavy, prioritising narrative flow, drama, and collaboration over getting every rule exactly right. This is a game about your characters, their stories, and the consequences of their actions. Expect a world that reacts to what you do, missions tailored to your crew’s strengths and flaws, and a focus on building meaningful connections; whether with allies, enemies, or each other. I encourage creativity, bold choices, and working together to tell something epic, gritty, and personal. I also provide an organised Discord setup with everything you need to dive into the world, including visual references, mission briefings, a great community, and dedicated channels for downtime, scheming, and roleplay. No pressure to know the rules, no mechanical crunch, no rigid scheduling; just great storytelling, vibrant characters, and the freedom to play your way, on your own schedule.
