After all these long years working for the Company, shift after shift, trip after trip through the galaxy without a pay raise, it seems you've finally had a stroke of luck.
You have received an official communication from the Company's CEO.
"Dear employee of the Volgrad-Arnell Company,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been randomly selected and awarded a prize among all employees, with a wonderful all-expenses-paid weekend trip to the "Space Pioneer Club" space station casino.
We hope you can relax and enjoy this recognition that you deserve as no one other in your department or crew.
Sincerely,
Dick Jones, CEO"
In rather small print, it adds:
"The prize must be accepted within 120 minutes of receiving the message or it will be not valid.
Accepting the prize exempts the company from giving you salary increases for the next 10 years due to fuel costs and hotel charges of this trip.
The Company is not responsible for the employee's actions during the time using the Prize.
Have a nice day."
The characters are two employees who have won the prize and, after accepting it, joyfully board a space shuttle bound for the space casino.
Well, who said Mothership is a game that is harmful to the characters? In this case, it's their lucky day, and a relaxing vacation awaits them. A weekend so terrific that they will never, ever forget it. Would I lie to you?
This a short one shot scenario. Please note this is my first time playing at GP, so I will be exploring and learning GP's forum interface. I expect some patience from the players. :)
System is 1d100 with some peculiarities, but quite simple. There is no need of knowing the game's rules from the players, I will explain them.
Mothership is a Sci Fi Horror RPG where you and your crew try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space!
Inspired by media like 2001: a Space Odyssey, Alien, Event Horizon, Dead Space, The Thing, etc, please be adviced that its scenarios include horror and mature content. The game is very dangerous for PC, who may face death (or something worse), as you the player struggle to make them survive against the odds!
Interested or any question please send me a private message or through the Games Tavern thread.
Thanks!
