Mothership: The Haunting of Ypsilon 14 #2

Welcome to Mystery Quest! A roleplaying podcast where we play a variety of one-shot roleplaying games with a rolling cast of special guests. Our adventure continues in Mothership: The Haunting of Ypsilon 14, a spooky, sci fi, horror adventure that sees the crew of a delivery ship on a routine supply drop embroiled in a mystery aboard a mining base. Today, the crew start asking questions to try and get to the bottom of the disappearance of a member of the mining team.

Loved the realization from Ben thats why Kintaro? smells so bad, and the subtle hints that the hydrophonics was wilting. This is getting so good.

[darthvaderyan]

"Have you tried texting them?" is a great running gag

[pacosoentken]

I cannot imagine Ben's character's power armour to look any different than just a mechanised shark onesie

[coreylemon]

Experimenting with the 1 on 1 "pull asides" I feel is going to go far for helping us connect with the characters in the game.
Probably not something appropriate for something like the Goblin Grinder where characters are cycled through pretty regularly, but so far I feel its working well for this!
Every upload so far has been a winner Tom, keep the content coming!

[Misheva]

Tom you're doing so incredibly well with these- great job dude

[Hrcules]

ben is clutching this playthrough so far

[tarodas]

Tom continues to kill it. The asides are very clever, much respect for your prep.

[Blitzkrieger]

i like that right when tom says "its the water!" ben was reaching for his mug, then kinda just held it for awhile, THEN he was the one to figure it out...

[Meister_Mogul]

Really enjoy Lydia's drone description and name KASPER (Kinetic-Action Signal-Processing Engineer Robot)

[ImpulsiveZombie]

This is probably the best one so far- The vibes and jokes are goofy, but Tom does a very good job making sure the whole situation still feels unsettling. I'm very much inclined towards running a game or two of Mothership myself after watching this, keep up the good work!

[kevinmorgan]

They call him Jimmy two hands because he sprained his leg during a heist. You had to be there.

[willhudson]

This has immediately become my favorite mystery quest, amazing cast and I love the setting/system!

[Ivafakename]

I loved the "last time" recap being space themed this time, it'll be exciting to see any future recaps in different styles, maybe a fantasy game recapped in a crystal ball or something.

Also love when tom adds a wacky character like Johnny soylant red or Killgore, always a dumb joke throwaway, and yet I always get attached to them...

[FerretyCoffee]

I didn't realize how much I missed the bizarre chemistry Lewis and Simon share :) I can honestly say that for me, Mystery Quest is the best Yogs content in quite some time .

[lliamdavis]

Ben "Sherlock" Edgar wrinkle braining Kintaro smelling bad + whatever it is causing hydrophobia + broken shower + sprinklers in the farm being obviously turned off for a while = Kintaro is infected/infested with whatever it is was amazing to watch. I had totally missed this and probably would have continued to miss it until it was spelled out to me, so props to Ben for figuring it out. Also, shoutout to Ben for being such a good player, balancing out the player meta knowledge and common sense with his player knowledge and common sense, and how he plays his character's fear of parasites against the player knowledge that putting the water down and not threatening him would probably make the situation better, his character would not risk that. Honestly props to all the players, Lyds seems newer to RPing but is getting better each game and I love her character and how she is playing it in this one, Lewlew definitely struggles with that meta knowledge but is able to reign it in, and is also playing an android super well(along with Super Seducing the crew 1 kiss at a time), and Simon is great at balancing jokes and banter with seriously playing his variety of doctors(is it just me or is Simon always some sort of doctor?) And of course Tom being a fantastic DM who lets the party have fun while also keeping things on track and spooky. Just in love with the channel, and this game in particular already feels great, and we are only 2 episodes in. Keep up the fantastic work peeps can't wait for the next episode!

[JusaLilChaos]

Any video with a simon and a lydia is a good video.

[TheIvyBlade]

I CAN'T believe that became a plot point. Fantastic GMing by Tom.

[HODthunderwolf]

I have watched this entire session 5 times now. It's my favourite roleplay session you have ever done. It's honestly perfect and is my own dream roleplay game.
Between Lydia's incredible roleplaying, Tom's atmospheric yet comedic mastery, and the perfect interplayer roleplay I genuinely cannot get enough of this.
Please can you get Lydia to play this character more. The yogsquests you DM'd/keepered honestly kept me alive through lockdown, and this channel is everything I've been hoping for for years now. Thank you so much for putting this together

[jrsoggaming]

Kentaro is a good boi.
This is absolutely the best role play Yogs have done so far, excellent job Tom. I love the suspenseful mystery in this quest!

[OctaneIsNotft]

I loved Ben’s irl TTT Ben moment by throwing water all over the table and Lydia lmao
