I was on Between Two Cairns with @bradkerr.net and @yochaigal.bsky.social to talk about the Ennies, design, ducks, and—most of all—Warped Beyond Recognition, one of my favorite Mothership modules!
It's a long one (a re-occuring theme of mine). Hope you like it!

Life as Crew
Ships large enough to travel between the stars are a big investment, so most interstellar travellers get around as part of a captain’s crew....

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

Who wants to fill out a questionnaire about running a Troika megadungeon in-person play campaign? It would be a HUGE HELP if you took 5 minutes and gave us some opinions. And an even BIGGER help if you shared this to whatever UK folks you know.

Definitely no heart. A rotting corpse without a heart that demands my attention and begs me to reanimate it and let it walk as the black metal imagination hellstorm it is. Carry on @morkborg.com.
