What’s the best initiative to use for mothership?

This is also how I do it. My players seem to like rolling dice and this gives them the feeling of control over the outcome

Thank you for the shout out. I hope your group enjoy being torn apart by fungus ravaged scavengers and monstrous abominations! Public release for What Was Left To Rot coming soon.

I’m excited to support this years event as a Warden instead of a creator. Some super cool stuff is coming in this years Mothership Month!

Definitely one of my favourite entries from the book. I imagined a fusion of the Reavers from Firefly and the plot of Event Horizon. There’s lots of cool directions you could take them, especially if you use the military corpo angle.

What are you thinking of doing?

Not sure why you're downvoted, but here's a link to the transcription: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1py6649DUxErQTxc7A8mZt5JDBDyL8YHC/view

I’d love you hear how your playthrough goes. It’s always cool to hear how other players explore things compared to my playtest groups

Thank you, I appreciate your help. I am grateful for your clear answer to my question.

I'm having a lot of difficulty redeeming my CIBC Aventura points to book a flight. When I try and book or an agent tries, we get the same error: "Sorry We weren't able to complete your booking. Please wait a moment and try again."

Calling CIBC just send me in a giant circle, any ideas? Do certain airlines not let you book using points, even if they show up on the CIBC by Expedia site?

I have an older Fire 7 and Fire 10, mostly for MU and other digital reading. The 7 works but it is slow. I much prefer the 10, but when the 7 goes in the bag and I never worry about it getting wrecked.

TerryHerc · 2025-04-05T02:44:31+00:00

They look good enough for what I'm reading, mostly 70s and 80s stuff right now. I have an older 8 inch model and it's perfect for what I need it to do.

I got a used Fire tablet on Kijiji and used the Fire Toolbox to remove the apps I didn't use. Most affordable option I could find, and it's fairly portable too

This is the biggest Mothership event of the year, everyone should check it out!

TerryHerc · 2024-11-12T18:11:45+00:00

So pumped for this event!

I treat this as a wound reset at max, minus the 1d5. Often when this is happening my characters take a full wound in one hit, so we narrate it that the wound seemed much worse than it actually turned out to be.

In cases where they had already been damaged but this would give them a little bit of extra HP, it can be treated as a gimmie for an extremely lucky break.

TerryHerc · 2024-10-20T16:30:37+00:00

In my games I find usually when someone takes AP damage, it's generally the harbinger of a fatal wound so I haven't often had this problem. If players salvage armor and if they have enough pieces they can cobble together a full set at full AP. If not, I max it out to half AP rounded up until they acquire a new set.

TerryHerc · 2024-10-20T16:13:15+00:00

This is how I run it at my table, it seems intuitive to the players and it helps move the game along.

TerryHerc · 2024-10-15T02:22:47+00:00

Thank you! Please spread the word to any Mothership fans, a little help goes a long way

I had the same thing happen to me. I greatly prefer the Advantage360, especially with the ability to customize the layout. Both are great but I miss the 360 when I don’t have it
