The description from the website is better than I could write.īeak, Feather, & Bone is a collaborative worldbuilding tool as well as a competitive map-labeling RPG. This blog will contain extensive spoilers! Also CWs for body horror and animal death. Very soon the promised final version is launching on Kickstarter and hopefully that will answer all the questions. So if you’re playing this with a 5e mind to a balanced team1 For example, each class typically modifies the behaviour of rolls for players around them. There’s a lot I like about it, but after a while it does feel unfinished, and some of the rules stack a bit messily for me. I think I travelled through Gartner’s hype cycle on it - I played a few different games of it in rapid succession. After a frenzy of games (and getting back into RPGs in general), Mothership took a back-seat for me. I honestly thought I’d written about it on here, but I bought a lot of MoSh stuff in ZineQuest 1 when Pound of Flesh came out, and wasn’t writing up my experiences then. The character classes are Scientist, Android, Teamster, and Marine and don’t need any explanation if you’ve seen the films. Space is big and scary, but you have to put up with it, to earn some money from The Man. Humans have spread among the stars, but it’s grimy, dirty, and technology is fallible. Mothership (MoSh) is a sci-fi horror game that leans strongly on the style of the Alien films. ![]() 15nd October, 2021 ex novo jamboard AAR: The Haunting of Ypsilon 14īack in August, I had a game of Mothership for the first time in ages.

It’s almost a turn-based city-builder. Here’s DELVE, which describes itself as a solo map drawing game. 30nd September, 2022 troika AAR: DELVing into my backlog I’ll just run a lightweight pointcrawl across a city for a bit, what can go wrong? So, I had a single session to fill, and I thought this would be a perfect pick. They give you some belongings and some skills like spells or the ability to fight, scry, or dive. Backgrounds are things like Befouler of Ponds or Questing Knight rather than “urchin”. Instead, scatter a couple of points across Skill, Stamina, and Luck, and then pick or roll a background. I think of it as a less-complicated version of Hypertellurians - you don’t have a crazy selection of powers, or stat damage across three stats. It’s a silly game of nonsense lands and people and animals. The caps and the exclaimation mark are part of the name, even. 9nd October, 2022 tor2e lotr player AAR: Sciencefantasy meets Game of Thrones It’s great being in LotR again - I don’t know why I like playing games in Tolkein’s world.

Not too grim (some of Luka’s flavour-text is being elided) Enjoy the ride, we’re thinking of the Westerns we like and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintence. We had a Session Zero and talked about the kind of game the three of us wanted to take part in, and we all wanted something pretty chill. We’re going to make a travelogue in the Vastlands! I want to run Luka’s Ultra Violet Grasslands again, but I just don’t quite understand his SEACAT engine, so I’m going to use Black Hack for that1. 18nd November, 2022 UltraViolet Grasslands black hack fvtt Zen and the Art of Caravan Maintenance □□ AAR: Zen and the Art of Caravan Maintenance Last session they were approaching Violet City, and had resolved to kick back and explore for a week.
