The Drain 1E + PDF

NEW: UPDATED FOR MOTHERSHIP 1ST EDITION!

The Drain is a tense level-0 funnel adventure for the Mothership sci-fi horror RPG set in a combat-ravaged farming habitat.


Simple farmers of the rotating colony ship Within Wheels starve as bargain InstaCrops wither on the vine. They turn to faith and ritual, concocting visions of a hell on earth from half-remembered traditions and commercialized lore. Bunker doors seal as their beacon calls upon believers to consecrate synthetic soil with holy blood.
Each player runs 4-5 level-0 prisoner-soldiers through the hellish battlefield of the colony ship Within Wheels. Their mission: win freedom by acquiring a legendary religious relic at the behest of their corporate jailors, PrayCo.

The Drain takes a WWI influenced war-as-hell meat grinder and mashes it with bleak, occult survival horror themes drawn from video games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Darkwood. This zine is packed with everything you need to churn out a crop of battle hardened level-1 characters from level-0 rabble, including:
  • Brand new rules for running carnage-filled funnels in Mothership.
  • A funnel crawl map by Andrew Walter, gorgeously illuminated to chart the party's movement through the conical space.
  • Vicious new items to arm your mob of funnel PCs.
  • Art on every spread, including illustrations from Mothership creator Sean McCoy.
THE INFERNO TRILOGY
This fully standalone adventure optionally continues a trilogy of Mothership adventures beginning with Wrath of God and ending with Meat Grinder for a contiguous three-part "Inferno Trilogy" campaign.

  • Card-sized funnel character sheets (PDF), complete with 20 delightful character portraits by Evlyn Moreau for your players to fight over.
  • 10 harrowing battlefield comms audio props to use at your table.
Fully hyperlinked, bookmarked and screen-reader ready PDF included.

COMBINING ORDERS  

Only orders that contain items that are in stock at the time of ordering will be combined, when possible. 

WE DO NOT HOLD ITEMS

Essentially it is the same as above. We adore all of you and strive to give you the best possible customer experience possible but inventory tracking not only for us but for our vendors and partners makes this almost impossible to do now. 

PRE-ORDERED ITEMS

Pre-order dates are subject to change. We get as frustrated as you do when things come up but this happens from time to time. Sometimes circumstances beyond our control will create delays. We try to communicate via social media and our weekly newsletter to keep everyone as up to date as possible. 

All items in an order containing pre-orders will ship with the pre-order item once it is in stock. If you would like the other items earlier, please place a seperate order from the one containing the pre-order. 

We cannot combine pre-orders with existing orders nor combine new orders with existing pre-orders. 

Pre-orders will be exempt from any type of general sale.
