Managing the Expendables - A Mothership RPG Module

Managing the Expendables is a razor-tense sci-fi horror module for the Mothership RPG. You manage a crew of disposable contractors running hazardous corporate jobs. Build the team, ration scarce gear, juggle budgets and decide who takes the risk when alarms blare and oxygen ticks down. Every decision costs you time, credits or lives.

Run it as a punchy one-shot or a short arc of chained missions. The scenario emphasizes tension, investigation and brutal tradeoffs under pressure, with crisp briefings, rising stakes and clear objectives that keep the table moving.

Why you’ll love it

- Fast setup with mission briefings, loadouts and risk-reward choices
- Tangible resource pressure: budget, ammo, oxygen, trauma
- GM tools and tables for jobs, complications, corporate cover-ups and fallout
- Great for both new and veteran Mothership crews, solo or as a campaign seed
