About the adventure

Ten years ago The Company established Greta Base after discovering signs of biochemistry on the world of Samsa VI. Operations were proceeding smoothly for the past decade but 6 months ago Greta Base ceased all communication. You were among those selected by The Company to be part of the investigation team and it is up to you to determine what has happened on Samsa VI and correct the situation. Another Bug Hunt is an introductory adventure for the Mothership RPG system. Players of all skill levels and experience are welcome, and this game will be run with the intention of welcoming new players to the system. There will be no charge for Session 0.

Gameplay details

A list of Lines and Veils, as well as a discussion regarding the content warnings included in the adventure, will be put together based on player input during session 0. The GM will maintain an Open Door for players to step away during play if needed, and players may pause the game at any time by typing "X" into the chat or by verbally invoking their desire to do so. At least one break will be scheduled each session at roughly the half-way point, typically 1.5 to 2 hours in. The GM also has an Open Communication policy. If any player wishes to address a concern privately they may message the GM directly and the GM will do their best to meet the needs of the player. All this being said, please be advised that this is a horror game and certain themes are going to be unavoidable without entirely rewriting the adventure. Players are encouraged to read the list of content warnings before agreeing to join.
