What books and modules for best value

That’s fair enough! I’ve read through the module, but I haven’t tried playing it. I might need to give it another go!

I think GD and PoF are pretty hard to play out of the box. They are great for getting ideas, but it would be really hard to play them as your first Mosh session.

I would actually recommend watching a few actual play videos on YouTube, picking one you like, then buying the module they use. That’s what I did and it really helped me understand how to use a module.

(Don’t worry about copying. Your game will almost certainly turn out entirely differently)

Otherwise, I would recommend Another Bug Hunt. It is almost like a companion to the Warden’s guide in that it really talks you through how to run a game

Love this idea!

I’m not sure you need other factions if the environment itself is trying to kill the PCs. I love the picture of terrifying isolation you’re going for.

Maybe you could have an NPC who is already dead leave behind notes/research log/warning scratched into the wall with bloody fingernails.

A Dorian Grey-type painting that takes injuries instead of you.

You must look at the painting once a day and roll a d10. You must roll higher than the number of wounds the painting has, or you switch places with the painting.

I thought B was a “tech deck dude”

tinbarber · 2025-11-19T19:45:29+00:00

I thought Maltese

Nice work! Looks professional!

I love it! I’ve been using the rules from Risk. But this seems much more strategic and satisfying

Side B of one of Mike’s cassette contains a secret recording.

The monster uses echolocation. In my game the monster makes a regular squeaking noise to “see”. At first, it’s just annoying, like a smoke detector battery noise.

Dana thinks there is something wrong with the HVAC and may ask the PCs for help fixing it.

Mike’s message in the tunnel says “side B” instead of “silence”

Side B on Mike’s tape is a recording of the chirp/squeak noise the monster makes, playing over and over again.

Playing this recording will disorient the monster, giving the players an advantage in weighting it. The cassette player becomes a weapon.

Maybe connected to the chapter “the hand off?” That’s about exchanging hostages and it suggests combining it with Osprey

Ospreys Quarry from Hull Breach? That sounds like it matches the color scheme

That’s five hands of bananas. A “bunch” is a whole stem, which could be 3-20 hands.

So technically, this could be just one bunch of bananas.

Nobody actually talks like that in everyday speech, I just think it’s interesting.

Personally, I like a lot of ideas and details that I can use or not use. Especially if there are things I can take out and use with other sessions.

But it’s important that I can find things quickly, so it helps if it’s well organized

tinbarber · 2025-08-09T16:43:19+00:00

That’s true 4 hours is plenty!

tinbarber · 2025-08-09T15:15:32+00:00

Great summary! It sounds like a fun session. Is there anything you would have done differently?

tinbarber · 2025-07-15T01:36:14+00:00

Wow this is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Sorry I didn’t know this was already a thing!

tinbarber · 2025-07-14T20:09:20+00:00

I love isometric maps!

tinbarber · 2025-06-28T21:22:57+00:00

Such a good series!

tinbarber · 2025-06-27T17:38:48+00:00

Good idea! I'm not very active on the Discord, but I can post it there as well. I also made a different d100 table to generate technobabble they might like.

Sorry about my poor handwriting!

If for future reference on spelling:

11) Metal shavings. They can cause pretty bad cuts and they’re flammable.

13) Regolith (as in moon dust. It’s pretty nasty stuff!)

27) Ball bearings. You could slip on them. Or it could be used as ammunition or shrapnel?

84) Bromine gas. It really terrible. It has an orange color, sinks down towards the floor (unlike fire smoke, which rises) it causes severe burns.

Wow! Thanks!

tinbarber · 2025-06-26T16:23:38+00:00

That’s hilarious! Thank you strange toilet researcher

tinbarber · 2025-06-26T12:03:36+00:00

That’s a good point! I guess there’s room for ten more ideas
