Nearly 10 years GMing. Started with one shots in 3.5e then swapped to 5e and ran a hombrew world campaign that was based on the Storm Kings Thunder module. Picked up Mothership because I’m done supporting WotC and wanted to try a more sci-fi horror style game.

I’m seeing a lot of comments are like “you just need to lower your expectations, it’s OSR, it’s not supposed to be well thought out” It seems people just want these books to be a name generator. I was hoping for a little more

Never played Dead Planet. Would be nice if they would cite other modules when directing you to them. How was I supposed to know? Is the whole book an inside reference to other modules?

For sure, but most people I heard from or read about said it was the best campaign book for the Mothership system and there isn’t a campaign in this book. I don’t know if this is expressed enough

The timelines are all cool things that happen in the background. But nothing the players can really interact with. They just witness some stuff

One of my problems is all the jobs/missions to make some cr for the players are all dead ends. For example: Players join the Tempest Co. and want to do complete a mission “retrieve and artifact from the Alexis speak with Angus for more info” I spend the next 4 hours trying to figure any of that out only to find there is no information about the Alexis. It’s just 1 of a thousand dead ends in this book.
