Mothership is an old-school renaissance (OSR) style science fiction horror role-playing game. Imagine the claustrophobic isolation of Alien, the madness of Event Horizon, or the industrial decay of Dead Space as you play the crew of a spaceship or research station. You slip into the roles of factory workers, scientists, and androids trying to survive in a cold, indifferent universe.

The system is extremely deadly and uses an intuitive W100 system. It’s not about being a hero, but about surviving the next disaster long enough to maybe reach a shore leave.

Important points:

  • Characters: Ready-made characters will be provided or created together at the beginning of the session, unless the game master informs you otherwise in advance.
  • Stress & Panic: We will learn together how the system simulates psychological stress. Every wrong decision increases your stress until a critical moment triggers the dreaded Panic Check.
  • Survival (or failure) together: We will play a short scenario to test the mechanics on the fly. In Mothership, rules are tools for creating tension—not for preventing death.
  • Dates: You can participate in one or more sessions. If there are spots available, you are welcome to participate in more than one.
  • Number of players: We usually aim for 4-6 players per session, but feel free to ask your game master.
