How to prepare
A microphone and a reliable internet connection are required. It would be appreciated if the players could review the cheat sheet but familiarity with the Mothership v1.0 is not required and there will be time to go over the rules. Pregens are available, if a character sheet is made independently it should conform to character creation rules and be shared ahead of time with the GM. No software installation is needed as owlbear rodeo is
