Managing the Expendables

“There are a thousand derelicts ripe with salvage around Sagittarius A”

This boardgame/OSR-inspired zine is the perfect mini-campaign for your first session of Mothership. 

Managing the Expendables is a toolkit to help wardens create infested derelicts full of valuable salvage and monstrous entities.

Place your players in a nightmarish race against the clock to salvage their company mandated quota while a horrific array of alien entities wake up and begin to hunt!

Included with this zine are:

• Managing the Expendables - a booklet full of tools to create thousands of derelict spacecraft for your players to explore, including four sample derelicts:
  • Surplus of Intent – The meat’s gone bad!
  • Unfathomable Pachyderm – Babar’s magical memetic revenge!
  • The Cantankerous Hyperion – The androids are not ok!
  • Fantastical Pretenders – Don’t join the circus!
    
• A derelict sheet to record information for your upcoming sessions.
• Asset contract and onboarding document - a Kafka-esque in-universe legal document. Let your PCs sign away their rights and future for profit!
