Orphans - A Mothership RPG Module

Orphans is a grim sci-fi horror module zine for Mothership. Your crew responds to a distress signal, finds silent corridors and corrupted logs, and soon learns that no one is ever truly alone in deep space. This scenario emphasizes tension, investigation and meaningful, costly choices.

Run it as a punchy one-shot or a short mini-campaign. Orphans delivers tight scenes, clear objectives and rising stakes that keep players on edge. It supports play styles like salvage, search-and-rescue and corporate conspiracies, with plenty of hooks for follow-up missions.

Why you’ll love it:

- Fast setup for immediate tension and pace
- Claustrophobic locations that make exploration dangerous
- Balanced mix of investigation, resource pressure and panic
- Great for both new and veteran Mothership crews
