Description

A Sci-fi TTRPG about space, horror, and senior ladies piecing together a mystery.
What's happening with these lights that flicker in a way they shouldn't? Why has everyone on the ship disappeared? How come the robots on this space resort are acting up? Who has robbed all the credits from the wealthiest person in the Galaxy? You're the senior ladies that will solve these problems and many more! You're The Gang.
What's GRANDMOTHERSHIP?
A TTRPG for 2-4 players and 1 GM about space, horror, and senior ladies piecing together a mystery. Get in trouble, crochet a new scarf, go ballroom dancing, and find solutions where everyone else has failed—a game designed to be played as one-shot sessions made a reality through Crowdfundr for Zine Month 23.
It also has a solo version!
GRANDMOTHERSHIP is inspired by Honey Heist, Brindlewood Bay, and Mothership, taking some tools and vibes from all those games. I have nothing to do with those games and designers.
