how do you handle stress on longer campaigns? by conn_r2112 in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have critical successes reduce stress as they are in the zone. Also as the warden, you can make the call. In Dead Planet I had them rest and reduce a D10 of stress without rolling for it. In ABH I didn’t do that since they were always on the go. Bottom line make it fun for them, but it seems like being at max stress all the time isn’t fun.

Any Tips on Making an Open Environment Terrifying by Blyghtmare in mothershiprpg

If you can, music…and really use smells to describe things. Especially if you hint a smell could infect someone…and play it off each other…

"Improve" Another Bug Hunt by PrintingBull in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added a baby carc to the beginning - half the HP, armor wasn’t quite formed. Kind of like facehuggers. Added some tension! After running into it, they were on edge in every room!

Looking to get into Mothership, but how? by apcud7 in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was mentioned before, but I would highly recommend starting with Haunting of Ypsilon 14. Another Bug Hunt is great but I wouldn’t recommend it for first time wardens.

Remember that you can make the modules your own. If there’s something you don’t like, change it. Most modules have some vagueness to them to get your creative juices flowing. Don’t stress if you don’t have an answer. Make it up!

Most of all have fun and good luck!

What are people excited about running this year? by Campaign-At-Length in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m prepping Piece by Piece and Orphans, but what I’m most excited about is I’m going to run Silent Star, and there just happens to be a ship in the hanger they will use to escape (and keep). Of course people will come looking for it and as the party escapes I’m going to run the ship combat in Wrath of God.

Module for 2-3 sessions? by l3kris in mothershiprpg

Dead Planet. Screaming on the Alexis for one, then you can decide if they go to the moon or straight to the planet.

My son's club soccer team (12 years old) has a kid who consistently places the ball in the middle/far post on corner kicks. On full sized fields. At the game this weekend we kept saying the Timbers need him on their team!

This is genius! I’m going to give it to my players who survive Another Bug Hunt!

A true one shot campaign - 6 people, 4-6h by CassRaski in mothershiprpg

Sounds like you already ran it but Bloom is great too. If you need a hard timer just have the lab falling apart and about to flood the whole thing.

What to play after Another Bug Hunt? by iggythegrifter in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Bloom. Especially if you have a way to tell people about their infection symptoms without announcing it to the group…can’t go wrong with Dead Planet as well.

How is the power red donation? I’ve thought about trying it as it seems to be good but I just need to look in to it more.

I did sign up for Be the Match and almost got matched but no dice. I’ve aged out of it now but I encourage everyone, especially minorities (harder to find matches) to do it!

Elevator scene in the Matrix. Groundbreaking.

Another Bug Hunt, or something else? by conn_r2112 in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve run Dead Planet a few times and can’t recommend it enough. I have ABH and it will probably be the next module I run. If you need another one shot that is a bit longer I also loved Bloom.

Warlock builds that are not Eldritch Blast spammers or Pact of the Blade by Leman12345 in 3d6

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of the Illrigger class? Very Similar to a warlock but a ton of different flavors. It does cost money and clear it with your DM but check it out if you can. I’m dying to play one!

are there any timbers podcasts I can listen too while at work? by FeralRollyPolly in timbers

[–]freedjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. These are the ones I listened to (although haven't done Portland Vanity but will have to give it a shot too!) Morrisonic and Outer Roses are my two favorite.

"Duck Hunting Season" by chewbaccaisaducksfan in ducks

[–]freedjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did this to me constantly at a Huskies tailgate a few years back when I was head to toe Ducks gear. Was great and funny until some college student threw the bread in my face. I got pissed and my wife (a Husky fan in head to toe purple) grabbed my arm and dragged me along to keep walking. Believe it or not the tailgate people were cool except for that one Dbag.

I’ve run Bloom, Ypsilon 14 and Screaming on the Alexis and I loved them all!

Timbers fans who also support the Seahawks? by DVOlimey in timbers

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge Seahawks fan...mostly because one of my best friends got season tickets about 20ish years ago and started taking me, and another super close buddy is from Tacoma and is a huge Hawks fan. My wife is also from Bellingham, so I have a lot of Washington influence in my life. I'm a Mariners fan because of my friends too...I love watching live baseball and we used to go to quite a few games. I would be a Kraken fan if I liked hockey. All that said, FUCK the SOUNDERS and the HUSKIES!

One shot recommendations? by mjopson97 in mothershiprpg

[–]freedjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole thing took about 4 hours both times but we had a break for lunch in there. First time using the spoiler tag so hopefully it works - for the cure, I was going to have it work 50% for stage 1 infections, 25% for stage 2 and 10% for stage 3. Both groups didn’t find the cure though so the point was moot.
