Another Bug Hunt | A Mothership Campaign

About the adventure

The Vibe: Mothership is a game that will cast you in the role of a danger-seeking crew for profit. Working for the insidious and inscrutable Company, you and your crew will try and survive in the most inhospitable environment: outer space! Excavate dangerous derelict spacecraft, explore strange unknown worlds, encounter hostile alien life, and escape the horrors encroaching upon your every move. You will often be forced to choose between saving the day, saving yourselves, or solving the mystery. Imagine Star Trek and The X-Files combined with a little bit of the A Team all wrapped up in a cosmic horror blanket. The System: Mothership is rules-lite and unapologetically lethal which will force your characters to work together smartly, or perish in brutal and sometimes hilarious ways. Rolls are only made when the stakes are high so you don't have to worry about struggling to do the simple things and can focus on playing your class (Marine, Android, Scientist, or Teamster). As the tensions rise and your characters accumulate stress, you will be more prone to panic which can have lasting consequences for your characters should they survive. But there is always another desperate soul willing to work with The Company, so don't worry too much about the excess casualty numbers often kept hidden by high ranking executives. The Adventure: Another Bug Hunt is the introductory mission for Mothership and is thus a great place to get started or a fine place to hone your skills if you are already familiar with the rules and the setting. After six months of communications blackout from the Greta Base Terraforming Station on Samsa VI, The Company has decided to hire you, the Crew, to figure out what has happened. The Company will deliver you to the planet Samsa VI, equip you with the tools you need, and pay you just enough to keep you going. There are up to four total missions within this campaign, each taking between 1 and 3 sessions to complete. By the end you will have a great baseline for what to expect from Mothership and hopefully escape Greta Terraforming Base alive!
