THE STONE FLESH GIFT (MOTHERSHIP)
A silhouette blocks the starlight, darker than the space it drifts through. When dappled in light from the closest sun, the remnants of indiscernible petroglyphs can be seen carved across its hull, hewn from a single black stone harder than steel. The ship has no comms, no transponder, just a pulsating thump reverberating within a membrane that runs through the stone like a vein of ore. A pinkish docking umbilical gently dances as it’s pulled behind the vessel, stretching toward anything that approaches, looking to touch, to connect. Explore a ship that eats and breathes and feels your clumsy boots plodding about within it. Let it caress your brainstem to impart its hopes and fears.
The Stone-Flesh Gift is a 40 page, light-prep living ship module with a focus on exploration and body horror, to be played with the Mothership® Sci-Fi Horror RPG. The players will traverse the innards of an ancient alien bioengineering factory called the Gift as it drifts through space, working to avoid its dangers, discover its secrets, and plug their brains directly into its organs to feel their thoughts. (Content Warnings: body horror, violence, gore, disease, addiction, loss of autonomy, themes of reproductive agency)
The book contains:
- 25 organs, most of them with unique thoughts and feelings
- 12 creatures, hazards, and NPCs
- 10 diseases and a system to spread them
- 23 items and materials, along with recipes for most of them
- a d100 "I Search the Body..." table
- a custom ship manifest for the Gift
- rules for running and repairing the ship's life support, flight controls, FTL capabilities, and digestion
