You are a newly assembled squad of the Tempest Mercenary Company, based out of the notorious criminal space station of Prospero’s Dream. You’ve just landed your first big job: you’re to locate a lost casino ship, investigate what caused it to go dark, and hopefully find evidence to invalidate an insurance claim. What could go wrong?

This is a pair of linked games of Mothership; a retro-futuristic sci-fi horror game (think Alien and Aliens) taking place on the 7th and 21st of May . No prior knowledge of the game is required to play and it’s quick to pick up; d100 roll-under, with a small number of stats and skills. The main thing required is a willingness to throw yourself into an 80s horror movie! 

PLEASE NOTE: Your ticket will get you access to both sessions, as these are meant to be experienced together. 


The first game will focus on exploring an abandoned ship, but the second quest will be selected by the players based on a bounty board. 


PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: 

No - we’ll roll up characters in game 1. You can play as an Android, Marine, Scientist or Teamster, carrying over your character into game 2 (if you survive).


CONTENT WARNINGS: 

Body horror, violence, mutilation, infestation, claustrophobia



PLEASE NOTE: This session will begin promptly at 6:30PM. If you arrive later than this, we may not be able to seat you at a table. 

  • When you arrive, please head to the bar in the Apothecary to check in! We suggest arriving 15 minutes before the ticketed start time to ensure you have time to grab a drink and settle in.
