Mothership: Under the Skin

The ship came in for a hot landing, which is not too unusual in these parts. What was unusual were the bullet holes: the exits were on the hull, which means somebody must have been shooting from inside. And then the fire started, and with the smoke and the screams it was hard to tell who was who. Not that it mattered much, in the end. To be honest, I’m not even sure who I am anymore. I don’t intend to stick around long enough to find out.

Under the Skin is a one-shot adventure for the Mothership sci-fi horror RPG system. Affectionately inspired by the 1982 cult classic film The Thing, it presents an urgent mission with a hideous twist: any character, including the PCs, may be the monster in disguise without even realizing it themselves. Have some replacement character sheets ready, because life is cheap and trust is costly out here on the Rim.
