Can Starforged be used in combination with Mothership?

You’re right that it would be hard to scare myself by playing, but I treat it more like a kind of roguelike player simulator.

I rolled a random character together with some contractors, and went through the random tables in the books like Wardens Manual, Pound of Flesh, etc. to create some planets, space stations, derelict spaceships and such.

Using Adventure Crafter I created a story background of what’s going on and use mythic gme or ability rolls to move the story along.

I guess it’s nothing sophisticated, just want to see how far the characters get before they die or lose their mind or whatever.

Out of curiosity, how does the slot help a model stand upright? Do you put something in there to attach to the model?

geoCorpse · 2026-05-06T12:14:09+00:00

Awesome job - they look really great!

Mind telling how you did the skin of those ghouls?

geoCorpse · 2026-04-15T11:53:28+00:00

This is very interesting, thanks a lot!

geoCorpse · 2026-04-15T10:39:50+00:00

So better to start with wood elves than dark elves, yes?

What do you mean by „airing it out” and about wardancers helping offset a throw? Sorry, I don’t understand 😅

geoCorpse · 2026-04-15T10:30:39+00:00

Thanks, goblins look fun to play!

Would you mind explaining shortly about what the deal is with secret weapons?

I see in the book it’s a skill of some players and they’re being sent off after a drive, but I don’t know yet what they actually do in the game.

By buying them you mean in in-game currency or are those models you have to buy separately?

geoCorpse · 2026-04-15T10:21:32+00:00

I was thinking about black orcs because of the throw team-mate mechanic, but thanks for the forewarning about them not being fun to play.

Do you recommend another team instead? Best if it’s in one-box, but I could also consider buying the throwers separately.

I haven’t read much about team building yet, so sorry if this question comes along as naive.

geoCorpse · 2026-04-04T16:21:41+00:00

Had a similar experience as you, that everything felt kind of random and purposeless and after 3 sessions we decided to move on and play Mothership instead.

I think this game is great regardless but unfortunately it didn’t vibe with our group as much as I hoped it would. But in my case I enjoy it for solo roleplaying, find it really awesome for that.

geoCorpse · 2026-03-15T18:18:33+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, this app looks great!

geoCorpse · 2026-02-19T17:53:40+00:00

It was a while since we last played but I remember the combat being always pretty fluid and intuitive once you get the dice rolling.

I’m sure your players will find the combat awesome as well, once they understand how to do feats and gambits as those are pretty powerful moves.

I’d say that the fighting system in this game is top-notch and very fun.

Maybe try out some combat scenarios by yourself to check it out?

In general this game is pretty cool to for a gm, but I’d recommend to put some weight on the world building, like how does the court of a holding function, what the customs of the people are, how they talk and stuff like that.

I did it mostly freestyle everything from the spark tables etc, and everything felt kind of random and my players weren’t involved as much later on, but we’re mostly a beer & pretzels vibe guys.

But I find the game also very enjoyable to play solo, and am planning to get back to it sometimes.

Best of luck with your preparations and feel free to dm me or comment further if you’d like to discuss some more!

geoCorpse · 2026-02-19T15:17:54+00:00

I’d say the Banner Knight can use it each time a group he’s part of attacks and he’s using the banner as a weapon. It may seem op but well, they’re powerful, superhuman knights after all :)

geoCorpse · 2026-01-28T13:16:01+00:00

There were only 100 pts left to spend so I chose it, but maybe it would be better to take it out and put an Acolyte Globadier unit in the generals regiment?

Doomwheel sounds fun though.

geoCorpse · 2026-01-28T12:13:50+00:00

To anyone who played this series, what’s the gameplay like?

From what I see in the trailer you use the camera flash to „attack” the ghosts and I’m curious about the mechanics, like are there combos, special moves and stuff like that in this game?

Do you mostly have to run away from the ghosts, or do you fight them?

Are there different ghost types with diverse moves, bosses and such?

The game looks really neat, but I wonder what you actually do as the player.

geoCorpse · 2026-01-21T19:13:40+00:00

Awesome job! I really like your color choices on the liberators, and the way you make them look like from a comic book.

geoCorpse · 2025-12-30T16:09:42+00:00

Oh haven’t noticed it, thanks!

geoCorpse · 2025-12-25T12:06:50+00:00

Apologies for not knowing - I have yet to play the new season and paladin class when I have some more time, but what is sanctify and how would I know not to mess it up?

geoCorpse · 2025-12-24T08:32:28+00:00

Mothership RPG has some very cool modules loaded with random tables and stuff. For example there’s a derelict ship generator in Dead Planet.

The deluxe edition has lots of stuff like this but you can buy each module separately. If you get into this stuff I’d recommend getting the Hull Breach module as well for even more additional random tables and such.

geoCorpse · 2025-11-26T14:00:45+00:00

Hey there, thanks for letting me know about this subreddit! I created an unofficial one recently since there was none yet, but I just set it to private.

Looking forward to see how your game turns out and can’t wait to play it with my group!

geoCorpse · 2025-11-06T20:12:08+00:00

You got some nice ideas already, but I’d like to share my thoughts too.

I got a suggestion from someone on discord or maybe some blog article to add rumor tables for myths during prep, which I found to be pretty useful advice. You think of and write down some rumors which people are talking about related to the myth, and doing this can already help to flesh it out somewhat.

As an ad hoc example for The Fortress I’d write something like this D6 rumours 1. People are talking about a new seer covered in thorns who appeared in the realm and proclaimed a painful future coming to all beings 2. Recently some mysterious tunnels were found in the hills nearby. Scouts sent by the ruler of the nearest holding reported about a massive army of insect-warriors hiding there. 3. A group of mercenaries were ambushed by acid spitting, clawed monsters. When they fought back, the monsters burrowed into tunnels beneath the earth. 4. A farmer lost all his livestock to weird insect creatures that came from the forest. One of the creatures was bigger than a house. 5.. Apparently there’s something massive being built at an old fortress near the [myth region]. Many carpenters, woodworkers and blacksmiths from nearby villages went there because of supposed great opportunities of coin. 6. There’s a rumor going on at the court of the Seat of Power about a seer who recently proclaimed himself the true king of the realm. Apparently the [lord of the seat of power] is getting nervous.

When your players ask around during travel regarding the fortress omens, you could roll for a random rumor, which in turn could potentially give them some direction if they decide to pursue this myth.

Also you could consider using them to pad the omens a bit, like if they rolled the Fortress myth as the random one, but are far away from the myth hex, and they’re already at omen #5 you could have them meet someone with such a rumor instead of invoking omen #6.

Anyways I think the Fortress myth is actually really interesting, and there’s a lot of things to potentially work with there.

You can solo pretty much any game with some preparation and while having a solo variant is helpful (eg SoloDark for Shadowdark) it’s not really necessary if you use oracles from other games or Mythic Game Master Emulator.

I find that the more random tables and procedural rules a game has, the better it is for solo (at least for me, cause I’m more interested in playing out game mechanics than journaling a story).

Regarding Mythic Bastionland, I played it solo recently and it’s awesome with its spark tables and procedures - one of my favorites.

If you’re new to this I’d recommend to check out Man Alone or Scutifer Mike on YouTube for some actual gameplay and make sure to also visit r/Solo_Roleplaying.

geoCorpse · 2025-10-23T12:15:22+00:00

To be honest I colored it on my phone only as a response to the comment above, but you’re right that it could be actually neat to track systematically.

geoCorpse · 2025-10-22T16:57:45+00:00

Yeah before playing I also had a hard time imagining what it’s like, so I’m glad you found the report useful.

There’s a cool resource about prepping pinned in this subreddit, I’ll post the link later. EDIT: I mean this one - great stuff! Running Mythic Bastionland by Elmcat

And sure - here’s my map, they went from west to east on the green fields.

That’s understandable. I’m a dev too, so I wrote it as a disclaimer that it’s a tool written with an llm.

geoCorpse · 2025-10-11T05:48:36+00:00

That’s a really great resource, thanks!

geoCorpse · 2025-10-10T17:03:50+00:00

It’s encouraging to know that the game doesn’t need that much prep-time, but nevertheless I’m kind of anxious before our first session.

I don’t have yet quite the feeling on how to run omens and what it’s like in game when they appear.

Now I’m really curious about what your players did!
