About the adventure
The passengers and crew of the starliner Napule are forced to survive after being (star)shipwrecked on a dead planet. Navigate a mad exile, the remnants of a lost colony, monstrous mutations, and the machinations of an alien sprite. This is a beginner friendly campaign and planetcrawl for Mothership using the Dead Planet module and several custom adventure paths! Perfect for anyone who wants to try out Mothership or for fans of ALIENS, Annihilation, Lost in Space, or Event Horizon.

About me
HI! I'm Molly and I've been playing ttrpgs for over 20 years now (since I was a teenager!) I started with the release of D&D 3rd Edition and quickly fell in love with helping tables craft stories. After 10 years of running 5e (along with Pathfinder and VtM) I've gotten really into running indie and/or lesser known titles: Mork Borg, Coriolis, Sixth World, Liminal Horror, Cypher System...and so many more. I enjoy learning new systems and helping others to learn them through play, and providing opportunities for a table to come together and tell a collaborative story. I'd love to build a framework for you to tell a story in! My table is always queer and LGBTQ+ friendly.

What Goth Saturday (GM Molly) brings to the table
For this Mothership campaign I'm bringing: Custom adventure paths seamlessly blended with the official module. A cast of fleshed out NPCs with their own motives and needs. Atmospheric music and ambient sound effects to further immerse us in the horrors of a dead planet. Ample safety tools to make sure the horrors stay in the game and not the real world. A safe table for everyone!

How Goth Saturday (GM Molly) creates a safe table
I will send a survey prior to session 0 where players can (anonymously) fill out any lines and veils that they may have. We will then discuss all of the lines and veils during session 0 to ensure we're all on the same page. During session 0 we will also discuss how we will use the X card, and choose a safe word.
