Daedalus Station and the Rimspace Racing League is a brand new 44 page adventure for Mothership by S. Murphy (Alone in the Deep, In Carmine), packed with content and easily usable in any campaign. The book details the titular Daedalus Station, a pirate space station obsessed with high-stakes Slickcraft races. Inside you'll find a comprehensively detailed hub location, a conspiracy adventure set within it, and mechanics for betting on and simulating races—a perfect way for player characters to spend their ill gotten gains!
Features:
Full conspiracy adventure set aboard the station.
11 detailed locations containing a variety of services to serve any crew.
10+ illustrated NPC's.
Top notch layout from Eric Hill.
Ten unique racing teams with their own histories, personalities, and abilities.
