Mothership

Deep space. No heroes. Your ship's life support is failing, something got into the cargo hold, and the corporation doesn't care if you make it back. Survive if you can.

Indie darling of the OSR scene. The best sci-fi horror RPG running right now.

Vibe Sci-fi horror / Survival
Easy to learn? Yes, deliberately stripped back
Will my character die? Absolutely and graphically
Campaign length Short. Horror works best in concentrated doses.

Dice: d10, d100, d6
