MOTHERSHIP FREEBIE: Second Self™
It's Severance - for Mothership!
This is the first of a newer, shorter type of Missive — one I can actually get out in a timely fashion! This month, enjoy a new piece of cyberware for your Mothership games, one with potentially huge implications heavily inspired by Severance (ahead of tonight’s S2 finale). And as always, there’s MORE COOL STUFF! - Christian
Second Self™ by MENOS
In a bold step forward for both cyberware and team management across the galaxy, MEMOS recently debuted Second Self™, a minimally-invasive brain implant capable of creating a secondary self within a single mind—a self with their own memories, job titles, skills, and personalities.
With Second Self™, a crew of four becomes a crew of eight, capable of handling twice as many employment objectives and working in an exponential array of personalities. Second Self™ crews are able to work twice as long (on average) between shore leave periods when compared to traditionally-Selved crews.
Second Self™ is a 5.5”x8.5” bifold pamphlet detailing a cutting-edge piece of cyberware, capable of creating two unique Selves within one body. This implant can be taken at character creation, implanted into an existing character as part of an employment arrangement, or even purchased outright for those wealthy enough to do so. It has the potential for some huge implications at the table with some particularly fun dramatic moments mixed in there when things go wrong (or you need to use your Secondary Self to rescue your Primary Self in a moment’s notice).
You can download the full-version (with printer-friendly option) HERE!
If you’d like to pick it up on Itch, you can find it HERE!
This is obviously hugely inspired by Severance and its upcoming Season 2 finale, which I’ve been having fun with, and also inspired by Mickey 17, which I loved. Enjoy!
MORE COOL STUFF
Oddfolk, Maxwell Lander’s new modular roleplaying game, is still itchfunding! My two action kits for it, Fantasy Crafting and Slasher Horror, are nearly complete.
Spicy Tuna RPG’s latest game - Blackthorn: A Pulp Horror RPG - is live on Backerkit as part of their Pocketopia crowdfunding event. The art and style here is really wonderful, and Marco’s got some great writers contributing as well.
The Faction Rolls came to a head in my ongoing Mausritter campaign! The Dedratz completed multiple objectives off some great rolls coupled with the party largely ignoring the group for the last 3 sessions. Excited to see how Pinesgrove and the Acorn Alliance get out of this one!
For the first time in decades, Mongoose Publishing is released an official new book for Classic Traveller. I think that’s neat!
Second Self looks great!! Thank you for the Blackthorn shout!
