I really hope more games use box sets like this! I like it when everything you need is in one box!

[-HazardPay-ruii]

The Shipbreaker's Toolkit (18:17) is such an elegant way to add ship combat to the system without making an entire minigame separate from the rest of the experience. The deluxe box is functional art. Heck, there is even plenty of room for more pamphlets or dice in containment room A. One of the best TTRPG things I own, so excited to run more of it

Maybe the most pleasing Kickstarter package I’ve ever received.

Best Referee's Book I've ever read. Great job!

[AyarARJ]

Ben's so right about the guidance Mothership 1e gives for new GMs--I say that generally rather than Warden's because there's really great advice for various sandbox or loose-module games.

Another Bug Hunt is a great guide in this respect, putting the advice from the ref books into some practice.
I feel there's a lot of concrete lessons here for Death in Space or SWN GMs.

Anyway, very happy with my Mothership 1e deluxe box. Worth the [long] wait, got my risky money's worth.
Now, to find folks who might be interested. Ah well.

You know this Game is groundbreaking when Ben and Dave are covering it👌

[TheRauzKindred]

Absolutely adored this system when I got to play it, sadly my players did not jive with it as much as I did. I did a test run with it to see if it would take the strain of me running an entire ALIEN themed story campaign (this was prior to the newer ALIENS rpg releasing). I ended up settling with Call of Cthulhu 7th ed using the Icarus sci fi space setting. Upside, the whole table ended up adoring CoC so it became a staple at our table.

First rule i'm changing is the skill improvement rules. My plan is to treat it like CoC and Delta Green. Use a skill, check mark.. if you survive, roll over it and get a +dX. This is a reaction to what my players find enjoyable.

Been waiting for this review since my standard boxed set came in the mail! Love it and can't wait to run first edition with my other Mothership modules. The conversion pamphlet is another great tool. Thanks again Ben!

[jonathan.shadowraven]

Thank you for covering this. Love all your content. If anyone is interested in how the game can play out I've been watching The Panic Table - Unaccompanied Miners and other actual plays to see how different wardens handle the rules. Can't wait to play!

[LightbulbUK]

Thanks for restoring some of my enthusiasm for the game! It's been a rocky road and I'm still waiting for my package but I'm looking forward to it now at least!

[AndrejaPopovik]

Loved how the game is not just a game, but it also gives tons of advice on how to make a game. Nice!

[kreppulun]

I love my copy I got through Kickstarter. Going to run my first game this Friday. My only complaint is on the box size. The height matches the digest sized books on my shelf, but hangs over the edge due to its length. If I turn it on its end to place with my D&D sized book, it is actually too tall to fit. I guess it will have to be a set piece.

[nikolarpetrov]

Stellar product that all RPG publishers should study. I still feel some negativity due to the messy Kickstarter but the box is fantastic and I am sure TKG have learned a lot. Looking forward to future products by them!

[momosgarage]

This feels like it would be almost fully compatible with the Rogue Trader era version of 40k, the 1st edition setting and the rule book, from the 1980s, that was part light-rpg and war game.

How is it for solo play? It also seems like it would it could paired with a journaling RPG too.

[ScottnCarolJC]

Looks fun. I would love to run one shots from it.

[dantherpghero]

I Love ALL Questing Beast videos! Watching this video makes me miss Star Frontiers. My players only want to play fantasy.

[monsternside]

For some reason I heard it as corset, not core set.

[orkcol]

I just found this game and I'm hugely impressed. I'm currently considering whether to get this version or the core set as I like the smaller black box.

Will all the booklets fit into the core box together if I buy the extra books at a later date?

[Biopunked]

Looks great, trying to justify getting it... How well would you say it compares to the official Alien rpg or something like Void? (hard scifi horror with Mythos elements from the makers of Cthulhutech)
