Providers – A Dystopian Sandbox for the Mothership RPG

by Joshua Kramer

Providers is a setting module for the Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG that explores Shalestown, a bustling Rimward trade/fuel production colony ruled by the titular Providers – a mercantile cult with immense influence and an army of Peacekeeper fanatics.

Shalestown can be used as an A-Class Shore Leave destination dripping with atmosphere, secrets, and plots, while the Providers can be plugged in to any campaign as a dangerous new faction.

The book includes:

  • 5 districts, 30+ points of interest, and 50+ random encounters.
  • Procedures for crime in Shalestown and incurring retaliation from the cult’s Peacekeepers.
  • 4 NPCs with intersecting (often conflicting) plots and motives with art done by Mothership creator Sean McCoy.
  • 2 one-shot scenarios to drag you into the city’s myriad conflicts.

In addition, thanks to 458 backers’ generous contributions during the module’s original Kickstarter campaign, all stretch goals are available for free to enhance your games!

  • 4 voice-acted immersive audio logs to play at the table and draw your players deeper into the lore. Included with this purchase as a digital download.
  • 10 “Shalestown Secrets” cards to give new PCs backstory hooks and skills tying them to the module. Available seperately (included in bundled purchases).
  • 10 “Peacekeeper Personality” cards each depicting a unique, deranged super-cop to be deployed as foes or contractors. Available seperately (included in bundled purchases).

Providers – A Dystopian Sandbox for the Mothership RPG  is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
