Managing the Expendables
A downloadable game
“There are a thousand derelicts ripe with salvage around Sagittarius A”
Managing the Expendables is a toolkit to help wardens create infested derelicts full of valuable salvage and monstrous entities.
Place your players in a nightmarish race against the clock to salvage their company mandated quota while a horrific array of alien entities become aware of their presence and begin to hunt.
This boardgame/OSR-inspired zine is the perfect mini-campaign for your games of Mothership.
Create adventures in 25 minutes or less!
Included with this digital download are:
•Managing the Expendables - a zine full of tools to create thousands of derelict spacecraft for your players to explore, including four sample derelict spacecraft:
•Surplus of Intent – The meat’s gone bad!
•Fantastical Pretenders – Don’t join the circus!
•The Cantankerous Hyperion – The androids are not ok!
•Unfathomable Pachyderm – Babar’s magical memetic revenge!
•A derelict sheet to record information for your upcoming sessions.
•A player handout - Asset contract and onboarding document: a Kafka-esque in-universe legal document. Let your PCs sign away their rights and future for profit!

I had a great time playing this both in person and online! It makes it super easy to make fun and horrifying Mothership adventures, can't recommend enough. This is my first stop for future Mothership adventures, especially one-shots or short campaigns. Incredible art, too.
Super excited to see what you will make with it cmdr23
