Love me some space horror! But that love comes with an impossibly high bar to clear. My take on @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com 's Mothership, which has taken me way too long to work through (the take, not the game).

This shitty BioCryo fulfillment process has taken years off my life. Granted, I made first-timer mistakes, but it all arrived in the warehouse over one year ago. Now, switching fulfillment partners, they "shipped" everything, and now, despite incessant emails, refuse to give me a tracking number.

I wanted there to be more playable material for spelljammer. So I made this horrific dungeon heavy on cosmic horror metamorphosis that doesn't feature mindflayers. There is to much text to provide in alt text. #spelljammer #osr #adventure
