Mothership RPG Actual Play | Part 2 | Sci-Fi Horror TTRPG

Welcome to the Jaunty Mantis Mothership RPG Actual Play series! This is Part 2 and the chilling conclusion. Mothership is a sci-fi horror tabletop roleplaying game focused on survival, panic, and cosmic dread. Previously, the crew boarded a long-lost colony ship that vanished three centuries ago with 1,000 souls in cryosleep. Fired from a massive railgun and tasked with offering a corporate “resettlement package” to any survivors, the team quickly realized that this derelict ark holds more questions than answers. Strange behavior. Failing systems. Missing time. And when one crew member disappears without explanation, paranoia has begun to set in.
