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!

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.

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.

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?

Well I've been considering buying a copy of the core set for awhile now, but first I wanted to ask, Is Mothership RPG just one of those classic stuck-on-a-spaceship-with-a-alien kind of thing? or is their more than that? If there is or isn't, just let me know.

Now I've been considering about buying the core rulebook for the Alien RPG, wanting to run a campaign (If they exist in this TTRPG). I was thinking about pitting me players against some Xenomorphs, but I didn't want them to just encounter that type of alien. I was wondering if there's any other sort of alien in the core rulebook with a stat block, like that humanoid one from Alien Romulus, but not just that. I was wanting to see if there was any other races of aliens for it. If there or isn't, just let me know.
