About the adventure
Mothership is a science-fiction horror system about being people trying to do their 9-5 job for a Company that sees them as expendable. Be one of the many space truckers grumbling about shit pay in-between dodging chitinous claws and negotiating with sociopathic HR androids. Mothership is a game where you can only pick two out of the following three: Solve, Survive, or Save. In this introductory module, you are part of a team sent to investigate why a small science colony on the planet Samsa IV has ceased communications.

About me
My name is Ben and I've been GMing TTRPGs for over a decade now. I'm a regular cast member of Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast (https://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/). My preferred systems are Powered by the Apocalypse (Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, FIST), d100 horror (Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies), and GUMSHOE (Fear Itself, Night's Black Agents, Trail of Cthulhu). I also love trying small story games that I find on itch.io. I'm LGBTQA+ friendly and I don't accept any Nazi shit at my table.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
I'll send out a PDF of the Player Survival Guide and an invite to my discord. That should be enough to make characters.
What Ben from TechDiff brings to the table
It will mostly be over voice chat and I'll play some ambient music to set the mood.
