In this episode of Tabletopped, we venture into the dark corridors of sci-fi horror with MOTHERSHIP, the critically acclaimed indie TTRPG! In it we:

  • Break down the innovative stress and panic system
  • Share our experiences running horrifying space scenarios
  • Discuss how to create the perfect atmosphere of cosmic dread


Join our seasoned panel of GMs—Nick, Franco, Rio, and Shade—as we draw from over 50 years of Game Mastering experience to help you navigate the terrors of deep space gaming.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Character creation and the four classic archetypes (Teamster, Scientist, Android, Marine)
  • Creating tension through environmental storytelling and resource management
  • How to balance horror and player agency in your campaigns


Whether you're a veteran GM looking to add some horror to your sci-fi, or a new Warden hoping to run your first deadly space mission, this episode offers valuable insights to help your crew survive... or die trying.
