Once, it was Cloudbank’s greatest achievement. Now, Monarch rules what’s left.

*A Mothership RPG Campaign*
🕳️ **Dive into The Deep** — a derelict orbital factory controlled by a rogue AI known as Monarch. Every dive into The Deep costs more than it pays. Most don’t return.

**EXPECT**

* In-person pen & paper play (Mothership 1E)
* Sci-fi horror (disturbing content & themes)
* Expedition-based open table (1+ sessions per dive)
* **Consistent players preferred — finish what you join, play regularly**
* Player-driven exploration & survival
* Beginner-friendly, no prep — turn up and play

📅 **When:** Fridays (weekly / bi-monthly), sometimes Saturdays
📍 **Where:** In-person (see invite details)
🎲 **System:** Mothership 1E

**TURN UP & PLAY**
Everything needed to play is provided. No prep or experience required.

**JOINING A SESSION (EXPEDITIONS)**
Crews dive into The Deep and return when they choose— you don’t have to play every week, but once you start a dive, you’re expected to finish it, and play regularly.

Places go first to regular players. If a player can’t make a session, anyone can join that session as a temporary crew member. If a regular player drops out, anyone can join as a new regular crew member.

Join the waitlist and Whatsapp group to get a chance at upcoming dives, when a spot opens up.

**COMMUNICATION**
We coordinate via a WhatsApp group. Those in the group get first pick at regular and wait list spots.

**PLAY STYLE**
Fiction-first sci-fi horror with modern, quick, accessible, fast paced play focussed on:

* Player creativity and problem-solving
* Exploration, investigation, risk–reward choices
* Fast, lethal, narrative-driven combat — survival depends on planning, imagination, using environment
* The Deep is vast and open: multiple paths, no fixed story, high lethality
* Character growth from scars, allies, items, reputation, wealth

**NOT INCLUDED**

* Complex character builds, XP or leveling systems
* Grid maps or miniatures
* Long, rules-heavy combat sequences

⚠️ **Content Warning:** Horror for mature players. Includes violence, trauma, body horror, psychological distress, and harm to android children
