Hello! I have been running TTRPG games for lemmy folks for a few years now and we are moving into our next system, Mothership. I have previously run (Cyberpunk Red, Shadowrun 5e, Lancer, The Burning Wheel, Pathfinder 2e, Shadowdark, Ars Magica, Masks, Delta Green, Mothership 1shots) for folks from here.
I have previous experience with D&D 5e, Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, ICONS, and Vampire the Masquerade 5e. I tend to run according to the rules more than homebrew, am more merciful than antagonistic, rely on prep more than improv, faction over disparate NPCs, lower amounts of explicit violence/gore, complex encounters, slow burn terror over horror.
The campaign themes are expected to touch on Body Horror, Capitalistic Horror, and Monster Horror.
We play weekly for about 3 hours starting at around 20:00 CET/14:00 EST on Thursday.
There are two to three returning players and I'm looking for another player or two. We usually run if there are 3 players.
We use Discord for voice & session scheduling and Roll20 for the virtual table top, it is a dedicated hexbear ttrpg discord server and I'm happy to help folks with roll20.
Mothership is a retro-future lightweight system that leans heavily on survival horror. The image moodboard in the post is one I made to reflect the campaign which I expect to run for about 10-15 sessions but am always happy to extend if the players want to.
The media touchstones I had in mind are: Altered Carbon, The Expanse, Alien, Matrix Reloaded. The players are the crew of a recently decommissioned cargo vessel docking at an outlaw space station on the edge of known space. The station known as Prospero's Dream is home to a handful of factions and has strict Oxygen rationing. The crew will need to find a way to scrape together credits to repair/upgrade their ship so they can get back to Inner Space or save the space station.
I will provide all the rules needed and we will have a session 0.5 where we go over some of the safety tools I like to use (X-Card & Lines and Veils), make the crew and whatever remaining time we will jump into the game on the ship as it approaches Prospero's Dream.
There is a hard line with Romance/Sexual content, and Young Children. There are veils for Extreme Violence, Torture, Adolescent Children and Player vs Player.
Feel free to respond here or DM me, I am looking to start the 7th of April.
Thanks for reading!
