An odd, large cargo box was delivered with the latest supply run to the station, along with the usual crates of rations, spare parts and magazines. Inside is a bulky, black arcade machine, completely unmarked except for a single word in deep red, blocky lettering on the marquee:

 

THESEUS

 

KILL SCREEN is a pamphlet adventure of electronic horror, compatible with the Mothership RPG. Escape the clutches of a sinister arcade machine, fighting or fleeing your way through strange hallucinations, digital nausea and the mind-broken crew of the space station.

In this module you will find:

  • Terrified, desperate stationers with compromised brains and a variety of unnerving behaviors.
  • Creeping nightmares and hallucinations.
  • Rules for playing a malevolent arcade game.
  • A table for generating more than 1000 different hallucinatory digital monstrosities.
  • A diagnostic menu for THESEUS, easily portable to Mothership’s Hacker’s Handbook supplement.
  • An audio sample of THESEUS’ brain-melting, electronic warbling.

Love it!!  Are there going to be print copies available?  This one slipped by me.  :)

Thank you! Print copies will be available eventually from Tuesday Knight Games' webshop. They're currently a bit busy with Mothership 1e, but it's in progress!

Amazing layout and excellent content inside the pamphlet - a psychedelic fever dream and Trojan horse video game. Very unique adventure!
