This Ship Is No Mother
This Ship Is No Mother (2023) by JB Taggart & Justin Nichol involves a spaceship crew battling aliens in space, where each worker's job may endanger them and the whole ship if something goes wrong during their shift; inspired by horror movies such as Alien. The game requires players to start with an empty deck of cards which will be refilled through gameplay until reaching its climax when one character might make catastrophic mistakes that could result in a horrific ending for everyone on board. The Game: This Ship Is No Mother (2023) is designed by JB Taggart and Justin Nichol, where players start with an empty deck of cards which will be refilled through gameplay until reaching its climax when one character might make catastrophic mistakes that could result in a horrific ending for everyone on board. It requires the use of GM or MC who runs the game using pre- written adventure along side 2 to 4 other players playing different characters whose card decks run down during their shifts, requiring them all play smart and be careful not to endanger themselves as well as others onboard. The Game is played with a deck made up entirely from cards that will need shuffled throughout gameplay until the climactic moment when one character makes catastrophic mistakes which could result in disastrous consequences
