Brackish
A downloadable TTRPG module
Flotsam drifts on artificial tides in a remote coastal outpost.
Document what happened to the crew of this sea-struck facility,
or add yourself to the ledger.
Brackish is a 20-page booklet adventure for Mothership featuring:
- A self-contained ready-to-run investigation, with a dense and navigable layout. Each section is tightly organised, and every room has indentation and bolding to make skim-reading mid-session a breeze.
- A dynamic pair of threats. Sections of the facility are trapped in a glacial heartbeat, chambers flooding and draining in a steady rhythm. Something prowls from room to room, hunting interlopers with cold purpose.
- Mandatory documentation. Di-Nobra Investigative Services require a rigorous standard of evidence for all investigations. Take photographs and scribble notes as you uncover the identities of the ill-fated crew, and defend your reasoning during the post-investigation review.
Also included are:
- Diegetic, printable player-handouts. An email from your employer provides an overview of the assignment's requirements. A crew manifest and facility map are attached, and a company-approved camera (with instruction manual) has been provided.
- A 40-miniute ambient-track, by notsure. Ominous mechanical tones carry whispers of the looping flood. Observant investigators can use the sounds to gauge the floodwater's phase
Also available elsewhere:
- Physical copies available soon™

After running "Dead Weight" this was an auto-back for me, based mostly on the impressive creativity and execution by Norgad.
I didn't have a chance to run "Brackish" yet, but after eagerly reading my digital copy I can't wait. It is more ambitious than Dead Weight, trying to combine the puzzle of "Obra Dinn" with the horror of "SOMA" - but from my initial reading it seems to hit the mark. Creative, professional, with a geat care for details.
Noticeably, Norgad cares for the Warden and the layout proves their capability at entering the mind of the Warden, providing everything we might need to run even before we realize it. Can't really miss with this one.
Thank you for the review! I'm really happy it's come across so well, and best of luck with the session!
Super cool layout and premise, Norgad.
