Dead Weight

Something's about to go terribly wrong aboard the Adamant Lapis. Amongst stacks of unremarkable rock samples, gravel, and ore, there's a large and featureless sphere that does absolutely nothing;

Unless you're already dead.

Cadavers are pulled inward with the force of a hundred starship engines, tearing through bulkhead and flesh alike. The hull groans from strain. Oxygen hisses through punctured metal. Every single member of the crew is a potential projectile.

Dead Weight is a 12-page booklet adventure for Mothership featuring:

• A ready-to-run emergency aboard a rapidly deteriorating cargo ship. Dense-but-organized layout, with clear information hierarchy and emphasis makes referencing mid-session a breeze.
• A fully destructible ship, with custom description for what's damaged if (read: when) a 80kg corpse comes flying through the bulkhead at 400km/h.
• A timeline of events, to keep the pressure rising. Every minute wasted is another minute closer to the next in a series of increasingly drastic consequences.

Also included are:

• Player printouts; a crew manifest (to track the who's even left alive), a deck-plan of the ship (to cross rooms off of as they're rendered uninhabitable), and a cargo manifest (to desperately thumb through as their oxygen runs out).
• A printable warden's reference; to aid with time-tracking, keeping tabs on NPCs, and referencing key information.

Also available elsewhere:

• An original soundtrack by jam2go. Compatible with 𝔱𝔞𝔱: Tabletop Audio Tool and other soundboards/VTTs.
• Physical copies available at Tuesday Knight Games and below.

"...Dead Weight is an absolute win: This will make it to my table, I have no doubt at all. If you’re willing to put in that effort, or you’ve got players who you want to introduce to Mothership but they don’t vibe the usual horror themes in Mothership modules, this is something unlike anything else out there."
