Copies will be available in January ☺

Oh that sounded like a hoot, well done!

If all I'm ever known for is being 'the timer guy', I'll be happy with that 😅

@@wacomatrixo Running Decagone this Sunday, your version of Screaming on the Alexis the following week and I threw a timer into "So you've been chump dumped" last night. Putting that time pressure on players is fuuuuun!

I'd love to hear about your game went. There's a popular 'after-action-reports' channel for Decagone on the Mothership discord: discord.com/channels/461670627468771329/1210333092057710644

Welcome and thank you! I hope to be producing a lot more of them next year!

How's the prep for the Halloween game going?

@@wacomatrixo it's going - probably going to be a weekend thing instead but i promise ill comment a small report with how it goes!

Aw thank you so much!

@@wacomatrixo Well, thank you for the swift response, but I fear I am cursed because it leads me to a strange place. "NO TEXT CHANNELS, You find yourself in a strange place. You don't have access to any text channels, or there are none on this server." What this means, I do not know? What I can tell you is that I just picked up Mothership and have started running my first one shot. Finding the rules, brief and crunchy, the system pleasingly light and unburdened for the players. My last campaigns were run in Burning Wheel, which is a great system, deep and satisfying, but boy does that game burden your soul with bringing to bear every fraught conflict of belief for your players. It's more of a meta-therapy session than a game. Frankly, I'd rather deal with cosmic horrors and existential dread than then moral quagmire that we descended into every time we dipped our toes into Burning Wheel.

@@davidbrinnen Can I just confirm that you've joined the Mothership discord? That's the only reason I can think that the link might not be working. Glad you're enjoying Mothership so far, would love to hear about how your first one-shot goes.

​@@wacomatrixo I am on Discord, but I do not know if I am on Mothership discord... OK, I was not. Now I am. And it works! Thanks for the hint. Got the chart. Yes, my discord use is limited to Vintage Story and DAZ3D(for work) so I am not really up to speed with that. The most painful thing about Mothership so far has been having to order the stuff from the US - with the usual shipping burden. I suppose I could have gone digital, but... being long in the tooth... I like to have books. Furthermore, I will gladly let you know how things go with the one shot, I am running Ypilion14 as a starter. But to get my crew engaged I've not only got them doing the resupply run and cargo pickup but told them that their corporation has a deep cover asset on the asteroid mining station that has vital intel that they need to recover (this being Mike, the very fellow that has gone missing). I know my players, they are an overly cautious bunch (my own fault running them through the Call of Cthulhu meat grinder too many times) so I need to be sure they are hooked in to the adventure and don't just leg at the first sign of extradimensional tentacles. Every game is a negotiation, between the players getting what they want and at the same time building the story into some kind of coherent structure which they want to navigate. As with Burning Wheel, I try to make every failure something that adds to the structure of the story. As opposed to something that just doesn't happen. I work on the basis that if failure is a boring outcome, let them have success. As GM, I can always raise the stakes, to match the competence of the players. So why not let them do what they want?

Hey thanks! Let me know if you try it out.

Was this Decagone!? If so, how did your final loop end? Great idea about the Pain Pills. In 1st edition they nerfed them so that only stimpaks relieve stress now.

​@@wacomatrixo Yeah it was decagone, our final loop ended with us hacking all the doors (we crit hacked the unhackable door). Storming in to the room like stroppy teenagers hacking the computers, deactivating the crystal, screaming at and then beating the scientist with crowbars; not killing them; and saving the random NPC.

I eventually started having problems with using Voice Mod over Discord. I had to change some Discord settings for the mods to still work, Voice Mod wrote a post on how to do it.

@@michaelflynn3970 That sounds great! What's the monster like?

@@wacomatrixo So it is a little corny, but it is a large beetle like bug that blends into the walls of the rock cavern, it has been capturing and vanishing the various npcs. It also has the ability to mimic peoples voices to try and call its prey deep into the depths. it has been capturing and harvesting the prisoners and guards to act as food for its hatching brood. Rather than killing them outright I wanted to leave the option for rescue mission, especially because on of the guards has the only key card for the secure areas of the mine... would be a shame if something nabbed him... haha XD

@@michaelflynn3970 ha ha, good luck solo keycard guard! I watched Mimic (1997) the other day, I loved the giant bugs in that.

@@wacomatrixo lol yeah, got a big target on his back, once the others learn the truth! I had not seen Mimic, I will put it on my list! It looks right up my alley!

@@michaelflynn3970 let me know what you think of it!

@@michaelflynn3970 thank you so much! Comments like these really inspire me!

@@wacomatrixo I am glad to hear it! Showing your channel to every nerd I know. There is a lot of love put into this and I want you to go big. I will comment alot on your vids, see if that whole 'engagement' thing is real or not haha

🤣🦎

Hey thank you so much for the kind words. You can find people running games on StartPlaying or the Mothership discord has a looking-for-a-game channel. Make sure you let me know how your first game goes 🤗

@@wacomatrixo I certainly will! If I return at all... (I'll totally tell you how it goes when I get to it)

Thanks, I'll definitely make more!

Thanks!

Well you are so very welcome here! Mothership is a sci-fi horror TTRPG based on simple to play OSR systems. 'The Panic Table' have a great actual play series that just concluded: ua-cam.com/video/36QmsUGbkqk/v-deo.html

@@wacomatrixo thanks

Hey hey, I'm ok. It's just a scratch..

We've all pretended to be 'panicking Hudson' at least once 😅

Yeah from something so high up the table, it's not so bad. It does increase your minimum stress however!

Honestly, that still happens to me too!

No, you only roll once. You only look up the result on the panic table if you rolled lower or equal to your current stress! So, with 2 stress you can panic with a roll result of 1 or 2.

so rad 😎
