Dying in rotten space hulks has never been on so few pages using so few dice (citation needed)

If there’s one-to-three things I hear people say about Mothership over and over, it’s “oh I would love to play it, but it’s simply too rules heavy” and “I’m really not sure if I can deal with dice that go up to 100” and “the core books are simply too long with too many words in them”.

So while Mothership is made by beautiful, thoughtful and inspired people, it really needed working over with a hammer by someone who has let themselves go a bit. And that’s where I come in.

Welcome to OTHERSHIP.

This is a new, two page game zine about dying in space, get it here:

It has also been published in the excellent Wyrd Science. It’s in issue 7, here! It’s probably better to buy it in Wyrd Science because you get other cool stuff too.

What I really like about this game is actually it’s compact format. You just need to print a single A4 sheet on both sides and then fold it twice and you’ve got a cute little book with rules inside, a character sheet back cover and – when you open the whole thing out – an adventure, map and GM console

Also, one “fan” (someone on bluesky who liked my post) has called the FAQ portion of the itch page ‘Amazing’:

ALSO: If you’re a reviewer, blogger, or inlfuential government minister, please let me know and I’ll drop you a free link to the files on itch.

Thanks for reading!
