Mothership - Incident At Muto Station

A space marine and an android are monitoring a lonely hyperlane when they get a distress signal from a station off the beaten path. When they get there, they're greeted with a weird message, and no signs of life...

Mothership, and specifically this scenario, deals with themes of violence, cruelty to animals/aliens, and body horror. Listener discretion is advised.

We used the Mothership Companion app, available on iOS and Android. Incident at Muto Station is a scenario from Dissident Whispers from Tuesday Knight Games. Dissident Whispers is a collection of scenarios for a variety of games, and was made in support of the BLM movement, where all proceeds go to The National Bail Fund Network. It is available in physical and pdf from Tuesday Knight Games' website.

A Dirty World - Shades of Gray with Greg Stolze

As benefactors of the second season Kickstarter of Ludonarrative Dissidents, we got to sit in on another game, this time ran by Greg Stolze. Though we've done this scenario years ago, only Greg was in that game, and it was long enough he didn't remember the beats. If you'd like to compare and contrast, our original two part playthrough of Shades of Gray is available on the podcast or on our website as part one and part two.

Senator Ambrose Gray is found dead, and his son the prime suspect. Pleading his innocence, his sister and a PI try to deduce who the real killer is...

A Dirty World is is available from Lulu.com, as a PDF or as print on demand. Shades of Gray is a free scenario for A Dirty World, available at Greg Stolze's website.

Ludonarrative Dissidents is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Reign - Nagalisitu - Agents of ALIS - Part 05

This campaign will touch on many themes, including slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Listener discretion is advised.

With the Agents of ALAS in tow, the crew of the Hypatia get a brief respite before returning to the planet. However, a new problem arises; how to land with all these new people, and then how to get them and all their gear to and through the portal. And, how much time has passed since they were last in Nagalisitu...

Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu is still in final stages of development. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.
