Is VR-Dead, Bloom or Meat Grinder any good Modules to run for newish players?

So I've just finished running a medium length adventure (Three sessions) and at least six other scenarios before that with my group, and I just recently came across VR-Dead, Bloom and Meat Grinder and thought one of them might be good to run with my group. I was just wondering if their very good modules and good to run for a group of three players. If anyone has any suggestions or tips for running any of these, that'd be great if you could share it.

Are they any good Psychological Horror themed TTRPGs?

I've been wanting to run a Silent Hill style mini campaign with my players for a while (I think they'd really enjoy the roleplay opportunities!), but I really cannot find one. I did find a TTRPG which is set to release in april which is part of a set of three other TTRPGs, being part of the VHS series (If you want the link to the main page of the website detailing this set, you can click on it here), though the VHS series doesn't seem very customisable for homebrew. If there any other ones which are particularly good, please recommend them!

What's the overall opinion on Obscure: Found Footage Horror TTRPG?

I just recently finished a Mothership oneshot and ever since I've been itching to try to get into more horror TTRPGs. In this spree trying to find a good one, I found Mörk Borg (I've now brought the core rulebook for Mörk Borg) and Obscure. I had a look on the website and dug around a bit, and it seems the barely anyone has ever heard of it. If you want a link to the website you can click it here, but I was just wondering if it's worth getting. I'd be so grateful if anyone who's played it could tell me what it's like.

The only ones I can think of are r/EvilFountainOpeners, r/City17Twitter and r/filbus. If anyone can think of any others, that'd be great.

Do you use the Punchboard Boards in a sort of Warhammer way?

I've been really stumped on what you use the Punchboard Pawns for recently. I thought at first that you use them for mapping where your character is but now that doesn't sound right to me. Now I'm starting to think there used in a sort of Warhammer way to map out where you are own a battlemap. I'd be so grateful if somebody told me how there used!

Advice on running Gradient Descent as a completely new Warden? (Mothership)

So I just recently brought the Core Set and have been itching to run a one shot, so I ordered Gradient Descent and decided to run it for my players, who are completely new to the game, this session planned to be their first introductory session to see if they would like to run a more session playing Mothership.

I've decided on having the first one or three hours explaining the rules and letting them make their characters, the rest of the session being playing out the scenario. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice or ideas to help make the session smooth and stress free (Ironic that I said that, right?) or just some general ideas to fit a atmosphere or help immerse myself in roleplay (I generally think my roleplay comes off as really bad and unprofessional, so if anyone has any tips on how to avoid this, please tell me), and optionally the players. I'd be so grateful even if you just gave a pinch of advice.

Any good first or third party one shot modules for a group of three players which are completely new?

Now I just got the Core Set and Gradient Descent (I made a post about running Gradient Descent so if anyone has any tips on that here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/mothershiprpg/comments/1vrjslx/advice_on_running_gradient_descent_as_a/ ) and I was wondering on doing a unique one shot or short campaign module for my party to see if there interested. My plan would be to spend the first one to three hours helping them make their characters and getting them accustomed to the rules and the rest of the time being the scenario itself. I already told them about Another Bug Hunt and they weren't interested. VR-Dead and Bloom caught my eye, so if there good for a starting group and you could give some tips for it, that'd be great.

How many dice do you need to play Mothership?

I just recently brought the core edition the the game, and it came with three dice. I was was wondering if it's meant to come with more, as I saw a set of Mothership dice on sale, there being five instead of three. Is three the right amount, or is there more to be needed?
