I am 51 minutes in but I have to pause and just say that I am incredibly impressed with The Warden for being so generous with his time and running a game for people suffering from devastating and traumatic brain damage. I think that is very kind of you.
I have a real hard time watching any actual plays, but this is brilliant. Love the visuals, fast paced af, great gm & players. Play more Mothership, I want to see more :)
@@nwtbpodcast I've seen yellow (Y-14) and the first episode of green (GT), if I had to guess - blue? Unless you're going for red, which would make me think Dead Planet... whichever it'll be, I'll be watching it!

We hope you enjoy the rest of our Colour Anthology series of oneshots and keep a lookout for more to come! We are currently having a Ypsilon 14 GIVEAWAY!, Sean McCoy and Tuesday Knight Games have generously provided a t-shirt, 2 Physical copies and 5 digital copies of the pamphlet adventure: The Haunting of Ypsilon 14. If you would like to be in the running to win, give us a like and a follow on either our Facebook or Twitter and consider writing us a review there or in your favorite podcast app and I will draw names at random on the 24th of April and pick some winners! Good luck!
Great job with this. It's nice seeing some groups playing closer to Motherships intent. I've seen too many groups play this game like D&D and ask for rolls for everything they do.
beautiful beautiful content, thank you very much. Coming from 5e, although I am actually accustomed to heavily modify modules and just improvise, being new to Mothership and Ypilon 14 the first Mothership content I read, I wanted to check out how other DMs played it - also not to get the feeling of this rulebook wrong. I instead found this lovely podcast, way above the expectations! As a DM I even felt as if I had been sent back to school lmao. Thank you a lot, both for the entertainment and the technical stuff (maps, consoles etc), it's a great source of inspiration! Hope you guys are well ^^
Thanks! That was our very first time playing Mothership actually, we were using the WIP version of the Players Survival Guide at the time. The following games you can see us slowly getting better at the rules and nuances of the system.
I really like how you sorted the visuals on the screen, it’s really helpful and makes following the podcast much easier. Also, you’ve now got me thinking about playing Mothership, because I really like this sort of story and the rules are nice and not too complex with a thousand modifiers, different dice to roll, etc.
Just finished listening to your year of the rat playtrough and that was amazing. Now checking out the other content and it’s **** golden!! Have yourselves a new subscriber
I always bring a nail gun with me wherever I go - weddings, funerals, my dentist's office, the airport... Great episode. I'm thinking of running this module for friends, and this is really useful prep.
Thanks! I appreciate that. I hope part 2 is much better, unfortunately while trying to render part 1 it crashed several times and I was only able to upload in SD. But part 2 is full HD and with a cool machine console style.
I love rpgs, i tend to hate watching or listening to them, but i really like how you guys get on with it. Visuals are a real nice touch too. Really nice group you've got!
I'm so happy i found this channel it's a gold mine, I'm not sure if you'd read this but based on Brandish, Dutch amd Mkbh reaction it looks like you had and cool retro like computer with these options and that's dedication! How did you manage that? Great episode can't wait to watch more!
I am in a bit of a hassel. Did I hoff something, or is that Michael Knight a reference to something. 😁 Really enjoyed listening to all 4 parts of this.
A good example for firearms skill or even hand to hand combat skill would be fighting a martial artist against a person who know only how to hit someone. Or the firearms someone that know a weapon is used to pulling a trigger against someone fully trained in shooting ranges and such. One difference I would place in game for military is the skill involved can be used as well to guess enemy you aren't seeing. For example behind a door you can hear an small army preparing to invade and with that grant some advantage on the next combat
@@nwtbpodcast 2 players first time role players so I went a little easy on them, but they did play well for noobies. No liquifying but they loved their patches and trinkets. Such flavor. We were up and running in 20 minutes which was awesome. Looking forward to part 2
Sounds good, it was great having the characters come alive during creation, the guys got some good stories out of it. Only took about 30 mins to get up and running.
I tend to have issues listening to real play content but I've thoroughly enjoyed the NWTB Mothership pods since I first found them. Highly recommend giving them a listen.
You guys are amazing. Have you considered doing audiobook dramas? I love dramatized audiobook with multiple casts and background music…. The 3 full cast alien audiobooks on audible and the Deathlands series from Graphic Audio are my favorites. With the talent you guys have, I feel you guys can produce awesome and engaging content.
Thanks! A written drama would be less fun! Plus it's already awesome and engaging content :P , it's certainly edited to the quality of an audiobook/radio play!
Hey thanks! The interface was added as a graphical overlay in post production, for the actual game I used the Mothership FoundryVTT module. You might be able to whip up something similar, check it out if you have Foundry!
Was this never finished / revisited? I see you guys continued Mothership, but I didn't see further Ypsilon 14 titles. Was really curious to see where it went from here. It was especially fun to see the differences between your group and when I ran it for mine.
We planned to in the future, but had to soldier on with the rest of the one-shots first. I'd definitely like to return for a conclusion, but will just have to slot in sometime after Cloud Empress and Year of the Rat. How did your group resolve things?
So how do you access the Admin Restricted parts of the console? I click on them and they just keep saying you need Authorization. I'd like to use this for my own game that I plan on running in the future.
Agenda 1 “You’re in this for the money and nothing else. As soon as the cargo is loaded you want to get off this dam rock and take some shore leave.” Agenda 2 “You are working for the company. The routine cargo pickup is a cover. Chief engineer Michael and Dr. Ethan Giovanni are your contacts, you are to liaise with them and organize the safe handover of a biological sample.” Agenda 3 “You have recently joined the company, you are adamant on keeping your record clean, this is your first job of many on your journey of promotions.”
Usually I make each interface from scratch with programs like photoshop or gimp. For the audio visualizer you can use the ZGameEditor Visualizer or a similar plugin to create the reactive waves. I use Vegas pro to put it all together and add in animation and maps and such. It took a bit of practice but each video improves on the last.
I added the effect in post while editing, added a chorus and resonance filter then played with the settings. I think I got it just right but not too overpowering!
@@nwtbpodcast How did you create the visuals? I agree with an earlier comment that usually I can't watch these sorts of playthroughs, but this is genius, more of a radio drama than a recorded RPG. Genius!
@@darthkt The UI work can be done with any image editing program, I just made it up and used it as an overlay in Vegas Pro. We have individual mics at the table so I get a voice track from each person which I can get a waveform from. I did much better work in part 2 as I learned better techniques. I wanted to go with like a retro scifi console style. As for the audio we're a podcast first so our top priority is audio quality and descriptions and such for audio only listeners. I'd say we also enjoy playing the characters we create for a "in world" sort of feel, but also having fun with the game system itself. Thanks for the comment!
You can still find the WIP 1e rules on the Mothership Kickstarter in Update 9# I think. They have since been tweaked in the release version but still are quite close.
@@nwtbpodcast The characters, but your accents are perfectly charming as well :) it’s always humbling when people from Commonwealth countries do great American accents when our attempts at accents are usually awful.
There's a WIP document of the 1E rules available for people to test out, we were using that instead of the 0 edition. You can get it on the Mothership discord. It's been available from early this year I think!
Ship's AI: Crew complement of the Silver Bliss is three.
Marine: Right but no one's snuck aboard or any s*** like that?
Ship's AI: Scanning.... There are two lifeforms aboard the Silver Bliss.
Android: I think about that daily.
So, so good, you guys.

Hi NubiS, thanks for the kind words. We will definitely play more, can you guess what color we'll do next? Also episode 2 drops on Friday!

The production quality for a voice only actual play makes me genuinely furious that this channel doesn't have more subs. Like a million more.
Thanks for the kind words! hopefully the work put in now will bring in more later. Good thing is, the video's get much better after this one!

Stumbled upon this in preparation for my own game. Absolutely lost it when Brandy said “I can’t wear a fuckin’ crowbar, can I!?”
😂 Glad it could help

Amazing job. Easily one of the better actual plays I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Looking forward to listening to the others.
This was our first time! I hope we keep improving as we get more experience with the system. Thanks
Really great job on these visuals, never heard of this podcast before and found it on the Mothership discord. Loving it.

Thank you!
Awesome show and very nice visuals. Exactly match for the theme of Mothership. Was wondering how did you create computer interface for the show?
Thanks for the comment!, I used photo editing software to make the graphic as an overlay and then added different layers. It was rendered in Vegas Pro
Just watching this but the readouts are very cool.
How did you figure out how to get into the admin controls on the console irl? I was going to use this for my own game coming up.
If you press down ctrl+shift while clicking on the option it will unlock it for you
So how do you access the Admin Restricted parts of the console? I click on them and they just keep saying you need Authorization. I'd like to use this for my own game that I plan on running in the future.

Can we ask what the secret agendas were?
Agenda 1 “You’re in this for the money and nothing else. As soon as the cargo is loaded you want to get off this dam rock and take some shore leave.”
Agenda 2 “You are working for the company. The routine cargo pickup is a cover. Chief engineer Michael and Dr. Ethan Giovanni are your contacts, you are to liaise with them and organize the safe handover of a biological sample.”
Agenda 3 “You have recently joined the company, you are adamant on keeping your record clean, this is your first job of many on your journey of promotions.”

The voice effects were added in post production, a combination of resonance and chorus filters/doubling the voice effect.
Looks like your playlist is not in the correct order? It started me on Part 2.
