Just ran it. Had never run a module before. Have only ever run my rpgs homebrew, and this was my first mothership session, but this was one of the best rpg sessions I've ever had. Will definitely be checking out more mothership modules because of this. Felt the story grew so naturally past what was just written here. Just enough info for your creativity to blossom. 10/10
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure and it's great to know that it helped someone get into Mothership!
The hostage crisis combined with the deeper mystery of the ship creates a frenetic, chaotic experience for the players. We had a blast!
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad to hear it was as chaotic as I hoped it would be when I was designing it. Thanks for checking it out!
I like it
