Gameplay Overview
The Player's Survival Guide is the standalone rulebook for Mothership, perfect for players who already own the Core Set but want extra copies at the table, or for groups picking up just the essentials to start playing. Built on a rules-lite d100 system, it covers everything a player needs: streamlined character creation that fits on a single flow-chart page, the signature Stress & Panic mechanics that make every roll feel genuinely dangerous, rules for violent encounters where wounds are deadly serious, and the Shore Leave system that lets characters convert hard-earned stress into improved Saves between missions. The rules have been refined based on years of player feedback to keep things fast, brutal, and table-ready, with the full system's mechanics conveniently summarized on the back cover for easy reference during play. Essential for any group running or playing Mothership.
