Hello from Italy.

I wanna apologize because English is not my first language and I hope that are not so many errors in the post.

I have made a video (in italian) that talk about Mothership, it will be the first of a short series about character creation, rules and some aspects of the adventures.

I hope to make Mothership more known in Italy.

Now I will write in italian, thanks for the attention.

Nothing more.

Se conosci la lingua italiana, spero lo troverai utile o interessante.

I am running my first Mothership game this coming Sunday and I have pretty much the normal set of people that come to my Halloween one shots.

One of the players is going to show up late because of some commitment with his mom, so I told him to watch the video and make a character before the game so he can pretty much just join in when he gets here. He would then send me the character sheet before hand so I could look it over. He got the app and did the character on the app, but he is not at all happy with the stats. He said he wanted to be a Teamster but his fear was so low he had to take Android to make it playable.

Like I said this is my first Mothership game. I have been watching a few videos here and there to get more comfortable with how the mechanics work but I have no idea what would be poor, fair, or good stats in this system.

My typical response was that I didn't think it mattered much because it's about playing a character in a bad situation.

Hey guys! I am running a one shot next week to introduce 2 people who've never played Mothership before to the system and I need module recommendations. Problem is my other 2 players have been in all my other sessions so I can't run any of the classics (Ypsilon, Moonbase, Bug Hunt, etc).

I'm looking for something similar to Moonbase or Ypsilon in particular.

Also, TKG or Anodyne if you see this, PLEASE restock the physical edition for Moonbase Blues.

I’ve been interested in Wages of Sin since it was announced but haven’t got round to purchasing it yet. With it being out for a little bit now, I was wondering what people thoughts are on the module?

I’m currently running some stuff for my players on the Dream and am always looking for ways to supplement it. Also would love hearing some stories of people have got round to running it!

Hello!

I am a long time designated DM and I love to bounce around from system to system, especially Halloween I love to do a one-shot in a spooky game. Mothership looks amazing and I ideally want to use this as a bridge to run a longer campaign after a sample one shot.

Which module would you recommend for a 4 players group, it's everyone's first time with Mothership but decent experience with RPGs in general: my top two picks are Plant Based Paranoia or Decagone, but I'm also looking at Ypsilon 14 or Year of the Rat

Any advice for a first game?

EDIT: Quick questions for those of you saying Decagone, would you recommend temporarily pausing the clock for combat/rolls or just let it roll? Also for the teleporter/4D printer to have bite, should its effects hold even through loops or is it just undone as well?

Hello!

I decided to share the countdown clock I made for Decagone adventure. It includes a short 5sec intro of elevator getting stuck, a beep at every minute for Warden to track the events, and a double-beep at the last minute.

I'm not sure if there's a demand for it, but I know I needed it for my game ^^'

Also, I have a 10 second countdown clock as well, for those who choose violence in the end ಠ_ಠ

My own game of Decagone was wild, btw. I guess I put a little too much pressure on my players, so they stopped the experiment while one of them was evacuated in bathysphere, so that player was cut out of the whole final... I've been GMimg for 3 months only, so that was an interesting lesson for me how not to handle group and adventure. I definitely would like to try running Decagone once more with other group in the future!

I hope this countdown clock will be useful for any future games of yours!

(And I hope it's ok to share it here, I'm not too active on reddit)

Maybe I should have done this a couple of days ago but I thought of this a while back and it would be a really fun way to practice my Adobe Illustrator skills. If anyone is interested comment some short prompts below and I'll put a graphic together and share it!
