Don’t worry about how you name things in your fantasy world; for about two centuries Europe had a Russia and a Prussia fucking around. That’s some lame shit that your editor would yell at you for, but it happened
What We Give to Alien Gods (2021) is quite the zine. Again, as with most Mothership scenarios, the basic building blocks will feel familiar — anomalies, ruins, a stranded survivor, horrible monsters — but their configuration here feels entirely new, unsettling and unfathomable. It is also, for all its beauty and intrigue, a little difficult to parse and, probably daunting to run.
The central premise of the scenario is the discovery of alien ruins — a kind of temple. An NPC is committed to unlocking the temple, which might also be a prison. The means to assist in this, or foil the scheme, is in deciphering a visual triform glyph language used by the non-verbal civilization who built the temple. Another entity can also introduce a second xenolanguage to decipher. These, and the temple itself, are intriguing, atmospheric puzzle boxes, made more so by the fact that Mothership doesn’t have aliens (so discovering them is kind of a big deal) and the way the new Conviction system imbues events with a sense of imminent revelation. Something important is going to happen! Something that is probably beyond the comprehension of everyone involved.
Including, maybe, the folks playing the game. It is A LOT and it asks a lot of players, requiring a group to really want to play this sort of scenario. I think the end result is amazing, but it is really only going to appeal to a specific sort of player. And they are going to have to tolerate Scientist characters being the center of all the attention — they alone have the skills to directly interface with the mysteries (sort of like Decking in Shadowrun).
Whether or not it is broadly playable, it is a gorgeous experiment. Just reading it conveys a sense of doomful profundity. That’s a rarity, and worth the price of admission alone.
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Wtf????
Smoove with it too
This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
“Pathetic. You can’t even hold the bat you dare step to the plate? Have you no respect for the sport?”
Baseball players are to be feared
Reblogging for the last one
^Same for me
They just kept getting progressively more “woah”
much woah
Oh my god this is a lucky universe
every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”
Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird
They…they just blew up a fucking bird…
I love Dracula’s stupid heaps of gold he keeps lying around his castle, like Scrooge McDuck
The best thing for newcomers to Tumblr to learn is that the write-ups on “obscure” history by someone named HistoryUnveiled or RealEducation will be rancid dogshit, while the essay by someone named WolfgangAmadeusPissKink will be absolutely correct and link to multiple peer-reviewed journals
Eureka is already fully written, developed, and play-tested. This is not a theoretical project, but a fully functional game that we are excited to bring to our players! The purpose of the Kickstarter is to make this book as incredible as it can possibly be for all of you. More details will come in time, and playtest copies will be sent out when ready! The kickstarter itself will have a demo version of the book and a fun one-session module to try it out with!
Again, Eureka has been fully developed and we can't wait for you to play and tell us your thoughts! Everything is being tweaked and adjusted for your best experience.
For now, here's a peek at the Eureka System in which failure is not the end!
And here's a peek at the traits you use to turn your roleplay into gameplay!
