Always hear good things about Mothership, excited to watch PDM

Scott Mckay

I love the Sci-fi love in the last vids I'd love to recommend my favourite SLA Industries 2e Lore and art are amazing though you'd despise the combat system.

Scott

Another great video and good review... I see more of my money going towards one of your recommendations once the youtube video is up with the link in it.

New camera? The game looks interesting, but the text (while optimized) is dense. I just have a hard time focusing on dense text as I get older - personal preference

I have it. The most compelling part of the game to me was the concept of Save, Solve or Survive.

I've been semi-obsessed with Mothership for the last 6 months or so! Bought up everything I could from the 0 Edition that's been circulating for a few years, while waiting for my 1 E boxed set to arrive! It's an amazing system, and I can see myself hacking it for other settings very soon!

“Game over man, GAME OVER!” -Pvt. Hudson Dear Professor, Great review, I was part of the Mothership Kickstarter, partially because you mentioned the game. So your evangelizing of independent games is helping. Thanks, MrGunn PS Nuking them from orbit is the only way to be sure! 🤯☢️

Alan Gerding

I’m honored at the love our game is receiving. Thanks so much, everyone.

Space truckers of the worlds, unionize now! Don’t become xeno food without compensation! I really want to play this. I’ve read the adventures and have the first editon of the game, and wow! My only critique is the old guy one, how about bigger books with bigger type?

Older guy agree, here. I’d pay extra for an 8.5x 11 spread of the lovely pages. The digest sizes are awesome for transport.. but accessibility is lowered.

I received my Mothership Deluxe boxed set a while back after what seemed like an eternity, but I definitely agree that it is absolutely fantastic quality. Still haven’t run any of the scenarios, but I have very much enjoyed reading through the material and perusing the amazing, appropriately eerie artwork. Great review, Professor!

Jay

Thanks for the game review. I will be adding Mothership to my endless stockpile of games. It looks like a ton of fun.

Running my first session of Mothership tomorrow. I’m ridiculously excited. I love the health/wounds system where your wounds are essentially “extra lives” and when you lose all your health (hp), you lose a wound and suffer an often permanent injury, making it harder to succeed. I also love that a nap doesn’t restore you to full health like you didn’t just get mauled by a giant piece of sentient mining equipment. The character sheet is slick and intuitive, character creation is as well. It’s not bloated with a bunch of nonsense that intimidates and confuses new players. Oh, and the price point—$15 for the rule book ($1 on DTRPG for the PDF). They love their game so much they’re essentially giving it away. I’m so damn proud of this game and the creative team that birthed it. Alan and the gang have something very special here and you can tell a lot of love went into the design and business model.

Alan, this game is so special. Shout out to you, and Sean and the entire creative team. I’m glad to see when the “big games” are trying to make more math, “options” for “builds”, and publishing railroad novels, you are creating an accessible game to be played and enjoyed. I appreciate that you encourage the players to be creative instead of hundreds of pages of block text with every detail spoonfed to the reader. Even better is the amount of supplement support this game already has. Man, I can’t say enough good things about this game.

Okay, I just watched the youtube video and feel embarrassed I missed this, here (I am too often just a lurker). It looks great! And a one-shot horror factory right up my alley (especially for my annual Halloween one-shot series). Clicking the link and it is not currently available?!? Or did I miss something else? If anyone can help me on a line to buy a copy of the deluxe box set (physical copy), I'd appreciate it.
