The con is in two days.

And I'm still writing my #MothershipRPG adventure.

But that's ok, because it's clicking, I'm making good progress, and I've got #Aliens on the TV.

"We're On An Express Elevator To Hell, Goin' Down!"

While working on my #MothershipRPG module, I realized I can't spell "tendrils".

I consistently spell it "trendrils" for reasons I don't understand.

Not that there are a lot of tendrils in this scenario. Heck no.

Building out the Cryo Bays of the Wandering Profit. #MothershipRPG

Back to the #MothershipRPG grind. Ok, it's not a grind. I'm having fun, but I *may* have taken on more than I can reasonably fit in a 4-hour convention slot.

We'll see. I'm planning on having some time pressure elements in the game to keep things moving.

Finished my homework for the course I'm taking. Now firing up #Underwater and working on my #MothershipRPG scenario.

This scenario isn't set underwater, but the movie's got the catastrophic system failure vibe I'm going for.

Working on #MothershipRPG. Reconciling what I've written so far with the sketches of the ship that I've done so far.

Let's see ... I need a bridge, and an engineering section.

Yep, don't have either of those in my draft starship map

(though it'd be kind of amusing to *need* those areas and not *have* those areas ... and also keeping with my kind of Mothership maps...)

Reading up on intelligent viruses. Because I'm a game master, and that's what I do. #MothershipRPG

Working on my #MothershipRPG scenario, mostly coming up with (probably) more maps than I need.

What can I say, making maps is scratching a particular itch in my brain. I can also sense that my subconscious is using this exercise to percolate story ideas.

It'll all come together eventually. :)

Working on the AMF Wandering Profit, a long-haul cargo/workshop starship tasked with assisting a failing shake-and-bake planet. Reading the Shipbreaker's Toolkit for #Mothership, which is providing lots of ideas for scale, layout, etc. It's a handy little book. #MothershipRPG

Mucking about with Starship GeoMorphs for my next #MothershipRPG scenario.

Big Dumb Movie time with #DeathRace, specifically Death Race 3: Inferno. It's about as big and dumb as you'd expect.

Meanwhile, I'm also playing around with #MothershipRPG / #AlienRPG map editors, starting with NEWT Blueprint Builder v110 https://delacannon.itch.io/newt-blueprint-builder

Finally buckling down to really work on my next #mothershipRPG adventure. This week, I'll be watching the Swedish-Danish movie Aniara; the premise fits very nicely with my planned themes. Anyone seen it?

Emergence, a funnel adventure for #MothershipRPG is crowdfunding for #ZineMonth + #ZineQuest! Escape a prison plunged into chaos. Beyond the failing power system and rising groundwater levels, horrors emerge from the inmates, revealing the truth of this prison. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/carsonb/emergence-an-escape-funnel-for-mothership?ref=bjer3m
