About the adventure

During a routine cargo job on a remote asteroid mining base you learn that one of the workers has disappeared. No blood, no body, no record of the airlock opening. Just gone. And that's not the only unexplainable thing that's been happening at Ypsilon 14... -------- A one-shot in a setting inspired by classic sci-fi and horror using the wonderful (and free) RPG, Mothership. You play as blue-collar Teamsters, canny Scientists, battle-ready Soldiers, or eerie Androids. Together, you and your crew try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space! This game uses a straightforward percentile system to test characters acting under duress, and a simple stress system to measure the toll the events take on the player characters. It is a challenging game. The official slogan is "Survive. Solve. Save. Pick one." The primary touchstone for this adventure is Alien. You can grab the core 'Player's Survival Guide' at no cost from DriveThruRPG or their itch.io page. I will be able to provide a direct link for your convenience. The system is quite easy to learn, but if possible I ask that you familiarize yourself with the basic rules before the game. We will be using Roll20 for shared rolls, maps, and game audio. The session will begin with a discussion of lines and veils--what content might be out of bounds for the players--followed by character creation, and then take a short break before beginning our tale CONTENT ADVISORY: While we'll absolutely be making open and candid use of safety tools, it should be stated that Mothership deals with adult themes and may not be suitable for all audiences. In particular this adventure will see the players encounter death, body horror, mind alteration, claustrophobia, and corporate dystopia.
