Dead Weight
A downloadable adventure
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, coming soon.
