Cryo-Siq

A new 'hunter and hunted' module for the sci-fi horror TTRPG, Mothership 1e. Written by Waco Matrixo.

The players have been hired to crew a small freighter transporting a coffin-sized box. The rules are simple: don’t open it, don’t ask about it and don’t ask about its owner. Among the crew hides a stimpak-fueled assassin. He’s dangerous but not invincible, so he'll need to strike in creative ways.

Using the module's sabotage mechanic the assassin holds a deadly advantage, but the players have strength in numbers. In order to survive they'll need to shake off the effects of cryosickness and outthink the assassin in a tense, strategic battle where every move counts.
