Turbulence

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." H.P. Lovecraft

A miserable life on a planet just as miserable, deeply corrupt. Yet this is this planet and its corruption that fed you for years. You dragged yourself into the most sordid business, for pleasure or need. Crime pays well, until someone put a spanner in the works.

Prison or death were the only futures for criminals like you on Ivan IV, since the authorities busted the big shots. It was time to find a way out.

A spacecraft transporting settlers to a growing colony with little regard for the background of its inhabitants seemed the ideal way to start a new life. Yet, while the emergency red lights illuminate the room and the fear is overwhelming you, you sometimes regret your choice.

Turbulence is a 60 page role-playing game module where you step into the shoes of criminals who had gone to the depths of a galaxy and became trapped into a plot that surpasses them and to which they will try to survive at all costs.

Designed for the Mothership sci-fi horror RPG, this module was inspired by Alien, SOMA, Lost in the Space and of course, by the literary works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Turbulence is suitable for beginners Game Masters or just for those who do not want to spend a lot of time creating a session. Indeed, everything is designed to be easy to use, without or with a bit of preparation. The module is adapted for a one-shot session but with little modifications it can easily be implemented into your campaign. Turbulence is designed for 1-6 players and lasted around 5 hours in the playtests.
