Solo Playing Mothership 1E w/Man Alone (Pound of Flesh + Dead Planet + Everything in the Deluxe Set)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Called out by @TheZabbiemaster, Man Alone decides to play Mothership. We start with a discussion on Mothership, which does not get nearly enough play on solo channels as it should. Go over some of the tools available and how we are going to use the many treats and tricks available in the boxset. Around 45 minutes I get into play, and make it into about two rooms before getting myself in a "sticky" situation. I used just about every trick in the book, including randomly adding a flamethrower to my arsenal when I needed it most. Did it help? Watch to find out! (no.)

I am so excited to put this on in the background of my work. I just got Pirate Borg and Mothership over black Friday to play solo, but there really arent enough Mothership solo playthroughs out there. Excited for some inspo from my favorite solo rpg channel.
Just remember - they can make your body work, but not your mind. And CERTAINLY not your heart
@@amanisalone Mel Gibson be yellin'
The snorting due to failing to succeed at using a flame thrower on a massive spider in a tiny room is the content I'm here for.
Not to be "that guy", but I treat the back of A Thousand Empty Lights as a lookup matrix of 1d6 by 1d8 (columns and rows). Great video! I'm glad you're taking the time to play on camera.
Dude this is epic thanks for playing, I'm gonna listen to this now. Love your actual plays!
I am looking forward to playing something like this because I've been wanting to play a solo rpg that's sci fi. All the rulebooks tell me "how" to play but not really *"how"* to play. Thanks for giving me a little be of an example of what solo play in Mothership would be like
You pressed the right buttons Zabbie!!! (I definitely didn't already want to do it and use you as a scapegoat)
@@amanisalonelol, you are forgiven.
I got more Mothership solo content, so I win in the end after all ❤.. finished listening, did you think about being in space and using a flamethrower? -Air for the entire ship lol
I am actually working on my own Mothership solo or coop wardenless adventure using a standard deck of card and rolls to generate a derilct ship encounters like from Hull breach but more in depth. This video will help me mentally complie some ideas.
@@crummyautumn let us know when the finished product is available
Mothership is the perfect blend of horror/stress and hilarious events.
if I were to describe my sessions in one word it would usually be "unfortunate" lol
SIR. SIR. I am one of "those people" who DO NOT have multiple d10s. I have exactly two d10 and I DO NOT appreciate the attempted shaming.
UA-cam Concierge: please reduce the visibility of this comment put it to the bottom of the stack I don't want others to see this filth.
@@amanisalone it was the first comment I saw coming in. Oof 😅
@@LordDestrus I assume you reported it immediately and then locked all of your doors!!
@amanisalone Absolutely! I'm doing my part! 🫡
Dying hard on hardlight station, is the perfect Xmas module to solo!
I just got the Mothership Box Set on your recommendation :)
This video is perfectly timed!
BOOYA I knew (something in the ether)
This is my jam. I solo mothership almost exclusively
Lemme know how to optimize!!
@@amanisalone I use thousand empty light oracle. I play usually 2 pc’s. If I’m inclined to actually finish a module, I run it like there are a number of two person teams that my company has sent to achieve the mission. If (when) my first 2 die the next team wake up and pick up where they left off. I do a bit of journaling/ notetaking (in the manner of thousand empty light) so the next team to wake don’t have to start from 0. Some times my notes are notes just for me, but “in world” they are notes to the company/ corp that has hired us. I’d be glad to answer any questions or just talk about mothership solo if you got more.
Use the bottom take damage so you add proper the armor reduction. Great video, hope to watch more mothership!
I’d love to play Mothership solo but I’ve already got Death in Space which is a similar setting (thanks to my lovely wife who randomly bought it for my birthday). Thanks for investigating this for us :)
I honestly like the standard box art better than the deluxe for MS, the deluxe box looks like a champagne box for bottle service at a club. I have the deluxe for all the adventures, etc but dang it I don't have fomo for the superior box art...
I am going to watch this and then use it as kind of a double when i go back to my slow progress of TEL and warden basics (its a how to play instruction thing on tuesday morning site wes i believe it is called). I absolutely love the concept and things presented so i am excited to see you show well instruct and also.story tell with this game. If it is not mothership. It is mork borg which i have come to accept that while i have not sat and played them fully that is okay. I believe when i wish to play heavily i will, but until then i am making s resource shelf of a select few tabletops solo or not that spark joy and creativity.
If there is one thing this channel did unlock within is the curiosity to find ouf more about myself, reconnect with the me deeper within and see tabletop rpg not as this unapproachable thing, but rather resource books to fuel.creativity and also games to play sol
It is like electonic video games you love to come back to. except analog. I love you and your channel for introducing me to this sphere.
As for dice and cards....i believe i am okay with them for now lol. It is just collecting tje pieces of mork borg now that i want and continuinf my journey.
PS: Tell Beebee I love her desig for your coat of arms. She is truly amazing and you sir with getting those colors you wanted is chef kiss. Hope you and youra is well, my friend and happy holidays in case we don't comment for a while. (Me, myself and I =we)
My lovely seals i hope you are well also. Stay warm and cozy this season and keep on creating and roleplaying. ~ Waffling Deshi out
Its a thruple of Love
Is there a comprehensive list of solo adventures that are likely to work with Mothership? For example, won’t Death in Space solo material also work for Mothership?
Video 79 of me liking and then commenting on every new upload to tell the viewers that the Man Alone Podcast is absolutely some of that sweet, unhinged audio/vocal-honey.
Psssst. What is something that you find most vexing? If you’re honest with yourself, can you identify WHY?
I would say I find it vexing why more people don't answer your questions, they are all so good. Maybe we should make a "best of" video at 100?
Something I find legitimately vexing is why people don't go easy on other people more often. I think everyone is so eager to punish but then also eager to be understood when the shoe is on the other foot. Can't we not see that it's only today that we are in the right and that we may be the ones who need to be forgiven the next? Especially when it's a mistake, and not malicious.
If I'm being honest with myself, it's because of a race to the bottom; people don't want to be the "sucker" that forgives someone because no one will forgive them when the time comes. It makes me very sad to think of this.
As faithful to Pendragon as Guinevere was to Arthur. 😬
WATCH YOURSELF QUIMPER
@@amanisalone😳😂
I have the core set and In Carmine is just a little too big for the box 😢 #firstworldproblems
I am vexed by this title’s contradictions.
Terribly, terribly vexed.
@@jeremytitus9519 roll sanity save
@@amanisalone I rolled a 99. That’s… _great,_ right?
@@jeremytitus9519 totally great. I'm going to stand here, away from you. Just in case. Give you a wide berth, ya know? Just in case
man did I suffer with your d50 rolling. roll d100, any value above 50 reduce by 50.
please I got space nightmares now where I cant manipulate the controls and everybody dies d100 times divided by 2
thanks for teaching me how to do it
@@amanisalone that wont end my nightmares mannnnnnn! haha cheers
