About the adventure
“Mayday Mayday Mayday,specialist Holland of the RMU Firebird, I am in geostationary orbit within the upper atmosphere of Kessler IV, my ship has been destroyed, I'm attempting to make repairs to the ship so that I can escape the on coming debris field and rescue specialist Hill.” The crew of the Firebird, a salvage vessel, were disassembling the SDO satellite in orbit around Kessler IV when the nearby Kibo Research Station exploded. The debris from the explosion collided with the Firebird and the SDO, destroying both..and now you are morally and duty bound to provide assistance! This game is open to adult players of any experience level. I'll run a single, open ended session with the option for players to join further adventures in the future.

About me
I'm an experienced Games Master who first played D&D in the 80's, which seems a very long time ago now! I'm passionate about the hobby and have run hundreds of games at home, in gaming stores, at conventions and online. I move easily between genres and can run fantasy, weird west, wartime adventure stories, sci fi and horror games. I am also a published writer. I've authored an adventure for Small Niche Games' "WW2: Operation Whitebox RPG", am a contributing writer for Stiff Whiskers Press' weird west RPG "Weird Frontiers" and have contributed material to several Goodman Games publications including an adventure for the "Xcrawl Classics RPG"

Creating your character
I'll bring a selection of pregenerated characters to get this first session moving but if there's interested in campaign play we can look at character creation or run with the existing ones.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Lets make this as close to an in person session as possibel! Have a pencil, paper and dice to hand if you have them, you can also use the Mothership companion app if you wish.
What Bruce brings to the table
I run a fun, fast moving game. I'm familiar with the rules having been running Mothership since the '0e' edition and regularly run in person and online games for new and experienced players.
