Mothership is a sci-fi horror roleplaying game where you and your crew try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space! You'll excavate dangerous derelict spacecraft¸ explore strange unknown worlds¸ exterminate hostile alien life¸ and examine the horrors that encroach upon your every move. Choose from one of four classes:
- Teamsters¸ the rough and tumble workers. More versatile at first level¸ Teamsters can be anything from engineers¸ to pilots¸ to asteroid miners. If Ripley from Aliens is your hero¸ then you'll want to play a Teamster.
- Scientists¸ doctors¸ researches or anyone who wants to slice open aliens (or infected crew members) with a scalpel. Become an expert in genetics or xenobiology - or protect your crew from deadly viruses.
- Androids are an exciting and terrifying addition to any crew. Powerful due to their supreme intellect¸ speed¸ and near-immunity to fear¸ they tend to unnerve other crew members with their cold inhumanity.
- Marines are here to shoot bugs and chew bubblegum. They're handy in a fight¸ and better when grouped together¸ but be wary when a marine panics because it could spell doom for the rest of your crew.
Mothership is actively in development¸ and this is a beta release. There will be limited print releases of the beta at most major conventions (Origins¸ Gen Con¸ BGGCon).
Looking for an adventure to run? We just released the first adventure for Mothership¸ Dead Planet¸ and it's awesome. You can check it out (along with a preview) here.
