They’re so mad

I’d just like to share a few bits from the ‘release’ of OTHERSHIP into the wild.

Firstly, did you see this very kind review?

Jason is right. It doesn’t have any right to be good at all. It’s just a couple of pages of words and drawings!

Jason shouts out the system particularly, which I think is funny. For those that don’t know, it uses a simple ‘roll over your current stress’ to achieve anything cool or dangerous. If you’re doing something your profession should be good at, you get to roll two dice and pick the best one.

Additionally there’s a simple ‘hunt’ track used in the adventure, this is what the GM rolls against for the alien to see if it runs when damaged, or if it is ready to fight. This is, more or less, the creature learning that you’re not so tough and that you could easily be eaten.

The game could also save your game night:

OTHERSHIP is a REVELATION. You would know this if you read the FAQ:

Or the Rascal Announcement:

Now, the thing with the Rascal Announcement is that it was written by me, about my game. In it I quote myself from the FAQs (which, obviously, only I am doing the answering and asking). I also interview myself in it, providing a quote about how it’s the perfect game for a convention. Right now I am writing to you about all of that. Stupid isn’t it?

Even more tragically, I posted on Reddit about it.

I got lots of comments about the line in the FAQ, here, about how complicated Mothership is. Obviously this is a joke? You knew that right?

People know when I am joking right? They’re just playing a joke on me, right? A joke where they don’t get the joke, right?

Anyway, all of this boils down to one simple thing: buy my game.

A note on “Chris why are you still using substack? Isn’t it bad now?” and the answer is that, yes, I understand it is bad. I will leave. I would like to bring you with me to my own wordpress site. I’ll let you know when I get around to that, and you’ll be able to unsubscribe if you don’t want my emails any more. As to why I haven’t done it yet… the options available to me seem expensive or limited. I’ve decided to try and do more with my little website, here. Which means I have to rework a load of stuff. It’s fine, but it’s a bigger job than you might think as I have years of poetry nonsense on there.

buy my game.
