Akigara

J9 ship Akigara has been lost to this universe since its first jump over 200 years ago. So why is it here now? And why does its song call to us?

Akigara is a Mothership 1E RPG one-shot adventure for 2-5 players that puts the crew in an unforeseen discovery through one of the first J9 ships, thought to be lost to time and space centuries ago.

Equipped with the first-ever J9 engine core and a prototype Stimpack system , the Akigara is an expedition ship that was launched over two centuries ago. However, contact with the Akigara had been lost during its first jump and was presumed lost from this universe - until now. Floating nearby the now rundown vessel is a rusty dropship emitting a distress signal, beckoning for an investigation of its fate.

Inspired by Junji Ito's "The Enigma of Amigara Fault",  this exploration adventure can be played as an independent oneshot or a strange encounter in an ongoing campaign, putting players head first to learn the fate of the Akigara and figure out how to escape said fate. This module is designed especially for beginner wardens with everything needed to run the module, both in color and printer-friendly formats, including:

• An immersive, schematic-style player map
• Random discovery tables to fill the setting in
• Clear and detailed notes on various aspects of the setting and the horror to discover
• Sound cue files to build atmosphere and tension
