“There are a thousand derelicts ripe with salvage around Sagittarius A”
This boardgame/OSR-inspired zine is the perfect mini-campaign for your sessions of Mothership.
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 wake up and begin to hunt!
Included with this zine are:
- Managing the Expendables - a booklet full of tools to create thousands of derelict spacecraft for your players to explore, including four sample derelicts:
- Surplus of Intent – The meat’s gone bad!
- Unfathomable Pachyderm – Babar’s magical memetic revenge!
- The Cantankerous Hyperion – The androids are not ok!
- Fantastical Pretenders – Don’t join the circus!
- A derelict sheet to record information for your upcoming sessions.
- 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
