About the adventure
You are dropped off on the rocky plains of an unexplored planet. The task the Company is paying you for is the retrieval of a rare metal sample. Dive into the nearby cave system to uncover where a sample is located and what the unknown biological signatures are. This is a game of mounting pressure, stress and danger. You will go into a dangerous and inhabited cavern with a group of people. That group will shrink during your stay. Your character will get stressed out, might panic, get injured or even die. Lean into it. Play like your character is part of a horror movie. I love bringing this scenario to players new to Mothership and even to role playing - I will gladly teach you how to play this game if you need me to. Everyone is welcome here. Based on Magnum Galaxy's third-party module "The Horror on Tau Sigma 7".

About me
I have lived in 4 different countries throughout my life and like bringing this mixture of cultures and languages into my games. I enjoy blending different kinds of stories in my games. I get excited when players bring their own backgrounds and cultural experiences to the table, especially if I am unfamiliar with them. I got started running games at the age of 9 and tried a multitude of systems over the years. I love learning by challenging myself with a new kind of game or a new set of rules so I can bring forward clever lessons and mechanics into future play.

Creating your character
Character creation is very quick and for the purposes of this game, we can make this even quicker. We will use the Mothership Companion App to randomize our characters and jump straight into action at the beginning of the session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please install the Mothership Companion App on a smartphone or Mac. Should you not own a smartphone, I ask that we meet up beforehand and create your character in advance. This is not a long process but we don't want to keep other players waiting. Make sure you have Discord installed and have joined the server provided before the game. If you need to, test your audio before we start playing.
What Tomasz | SnowChickenLord brings to the table
An open mind, patience, fairness and mounting stakes. I lean on my ability to describe your situation in moody, sometimes oppressive detail (and other times lack thereof) when running Mothership specifically. In a one-shot setting such as this, you can expect the dangers to arise quickly, leading to tense situations.

Safety
How Tomasz | SnowChickenLord creates a safe table
Mothership by its very nature is prone to themes that might trigger discomfort. Your characters might get hurt or killed in horrible ways. I avoid describing such events in detail (they are effectively a Veil by default) but they are likely to come up - know to expect them before you decide to join. Should you at any time feel too uncomfortable to continue, use the phrase "Let's Not". I will pause the game, ask if you want to discuss it and act accordingly. After the game, we will take the time to decompress and talk about the game, how it felt and also the deeper secrets of the adventure you just lived through or died in.
