May 2024! It's good though

No problem!!

Absolutely!

That is indeed a bummer. Looking forward to getting mine as well!

Got yours yet? Still waiting on mine.

This wait is pretty ridiculous. They're very lucky they have a great game on their hands.

Got it now bros. What do you all think?

I'm holding the Player's Survival Guide in my hand right now

Have faith! Progress is happening. We'll get 'em soon (tm).

Mine just arrived today :)

Mine did a couple days ago

Here's a link to a custom sheet my team put together: store.wogd.com/collections/mothership-rpg/products/scrap-rats-mothership-character-sheet

Got mine yesterday. It was a nice surprise as I hadn't been following and didn't realize it was in the post.

Woohoo!

Absolutely, Jamsin! Shoot me an email (zac(at)wogd.com) and we'll work it out.

@@WorldofGameDesign awesome :) Thank you :)

This is a game in which character death is expected. In my mind, that's different than in a lot of RPGs where character death is merely a possibility. Even more, this is a game that encourages combat. Some games are deadly, but push you away from combat (like Vampire), some games push you toward combat but aren't that deadly (like 5e). This does both.

It's definitely a game where doom is always on the horizon. I kinda dig that, but it definitely makes it hard for a longer campaign to work without tweaks.

I guess my GM mindset will have to be: say yes, or roll the dice. That is, only ask for a roll when you feel like something would/should probably fail. And only ask for a roll when failing that roll could realistically cause full-on panic - cause that is going to happen nearly 10% of the time!

I'm running a long form campaign with the Mothership rules and I have found a few work around so far. 1. Give out experience often and have them level up. 2. My players are playing a crew as in 30 people so in the campaign they have 30 lives as a resource. Death will happen but it's about how they go out and make it count. They can't just wake everyone because the ship is adrift and there isn't enough food or power so most are still asleep. Give them resources to use or loose. The campaign is definitely sc fi horror/survival still and the building pressure between story events has them well on edge by the time shooting or contact occurs. I then give them some down time so it's not go go go and they can rest. It's still failing forward but they seem to be enjoying it.

Uh... You realize World of Game Design didn't design or publish the game, right? They're just doing a How to Play video.

@@circusmunky I was asking a general question. Where is this totally overdue game?

@@midnightgreen8319 PDFs have been available for backers for a long time, physicals are shipping this month for wave 1 shipping. People who didn't back it should be open to get them soon I'd say. I'm not pleased with how long it took, but it's getting there in the end

Mine literally arrived today :D

I got mine today. 16/05/2024. The Kickstarter was funded in 04/02/2022 so it did take some time to arrive but that can happen now and again with Kickstarter. It’s like building a house, it’s never ready by the move in date. These days if a KS arrives at all it’s a good one! But yeah, your point is valid. It did take awhile. Hopefully it’s worth the wait!
