"Good evening Nomad, this is your Captain. I've
assembled you from the best of the best because your mission here on the
outliers of Humanity is an important one. You are in a word 'Hope'. A
beacon in the vastness of space to those on the edge of oblivion. The
vengeful sword that cuts down those who would prey on the weak. Remember
your unit's motto 'Ad astra per aspera,' 'Through adversity to the
stars.' A reminder and a warning to all." Operating out of the
Battle Carrier Leviathan, Nomad 1's mission is to investigate distress
signals in the operating range of their carrier. Supplied with a short
jump range vessel they are given a support staff and relief team to
supplement their 6 member team. This enables them to react and adapt to
any foreseeable contingency. Not known to most there have been
many Nomad teams that have went MIA while on mission. With little if any
information as to why. The known Universe is a lot smaller than
humanity thinks and terrors wait in the void. What is Mothership?
Mothership is a Sci-Fi, Horror Tabletop Roleplaying Game. Available for
pay what you want from Drive-Thru RPG or from Tuesday Knight Games
website through their also pay what you want itch.io page. It draws its
inspiration from various films such as Aliens and The Thing and video
games such as Dead Space and F.E.A.R. Okay, but how is it played?
It's a 'Roll Under' system similar to games like Call of Cthulhu.
Pretty simple to understand. You have Attributes and Saving Throws that
are all
on a 1-100 scale. You get Bonus or Minus based on Difficulty
and Tools and then roll a 100 sided die trying to roll under a
target number. Doubles (11-22-33...) are critical success or failures
depending on your scores. While its pretty quick to make
a character and get started I've went ahead and made some faces for
players to just jump into. You've mentioned Horror and Call of Cthulhu, am I gonna live?
To be frank, just like in those games your life expectancy isn't very
high. Often your decisions and the roll of the die can make or break a
situation. That then can compound to less than ideal situations. Your
team aren't the first Nomads but they won't be the last. What about the time and day? I've seen that posting a specific time I want it to happen is detrimental to getting a group together. For now I'd just ask you leave your available times in MST or GMT-6 as well of course the days those happen. Keep in mind a session can run anywhere between 2-3 hours give or take based on a person's alacrity Alright, I'm interested what now?
You can either directly contact me via Roll20, leave a post below, or
send a friend request to me on Discord Hasaha#1077. Once I know you are
interested I'll send the LFG listing directly to you for further
inquiry.
