Mothership

Space is big. Cold. Indifferent.
And it absolutely wants you dead.

Welcome to Mothership®, the award-winning sci-fi horror RPG where you and your crew attempt to survive the most hostile environment imaginable… and usually fail in interesting ways.

This isn’t heroic fantasy. There are no chosen ones out here. Just failing systems, bad decisions, and whatever’s scratching at the airlock.

A quick heads-up before you dive in

Mothership® is a horror game for mature audiences.
Expect violence, foul language, some sexual content, drug use, and themes around mental illness, trauma, stress, and panic.

If that’s not your thing, fair enough.
If it is… you’re in the right place.

Easy to Play. Hard to Survive.

Mothership® is built to get to the table fast.

No system mastery required. No rulebook archaeology mid-session.

The d100 Panic Engine keeps things brutally simple:

• You always know your chances
• You always know when things are about to go very, very wrong

For Wardens (GMs who enjoy watching things fall apart)

Everything is designed to be run clean and fast.

Rules are laid out in “control panel” style spreads, so when you open to a section, everything you need is right there in front of you.

No flipping through three chapters to resolve one bad decision.
Just smooth, escalating chaos.
