Description

This Ship Is No Mother is a game about people in space, working jobs that are probably going to get them killed. It's 50+ pages, fully illustrated with art by Justin Nichol.

Inspired by movies like Alien and games like Mothership and Dread, this is for fans of tension, creepy-crawlies, and general horror. Mechanically, it's a card-based Forged in the Dark game, first in the series of games currently called the Cardsharp Sonata.

In this game, players start with a full deck of cards and as you play, that deck will run down. When the deck ends, there is a climactic moment of panic as one of the characters is going to do something stupid and get themselves (and maybe everyone else) killed.

This game requires a GM or MC and 2-4 other players. The MC will run the game, probably using a pre-written adventure. Other than that, you need a deck of cards and some character sheets. If you’re playing at a physical table, a physical deck and some index cards will do the trick. If you’re playing online, you can use the playingcards.io room template and this spreadsheet for the characters.
