About the adventure

You are a new hire of Feng Huang Industries. Your mission: to work at Faa Saan Outpost, where they are developing the next gen of telepathy-tech using neural implants. The Outpost is a facility on a habitable forest moon, and tech is tested on primates living there. Monkeys can't be dangerous, right? -- When you buy cerebral slickware from Feng-Huang Industries, you’re buying a product that has been through several generations of primate tests before it ever touches human grey matter. That’s the FHI guarantee! FHI’s primate test subjects, such as those on the forest moon of Faa Saan, are given ample space to roam in natural conditions. And since last year, FHI has made a zero-euthanasia pledge across all its testing facilities. That's why FHI is considered by industry watchdogs to be the gold standard for humane research practices! ... The primates don’t agree. Monkey King is a one-shot written by Benjamin Xiaofang Hurley for Mothership 1e. -- 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 1-2 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.
