Project Update: Let's talk about the Mothership-BTH conversion guide!
Good morning folks! Still chugging along, up to 44% now, and trending to meet our goal on Backer Tracker. Nothing is guaranteed though, so please keep sharing the game!
In the meantime, I wanted to talk more about a feature of the game that isn't plastered all over our main page: the conversion guide! This will be a FREE 3 or 4 page PDF that'll be made available on our website/Itch page at the same time that the game itself becomes available to the public. With this, you'll be able to jump right into playing BTH as soon as it's out by just grabbing something from your pile of Mothership zines! Not every module will translate easily, but the ones where robots or humans are the villains should work pretty well. Plus, it could be fun to fight an alien monster as a party of cyborgs! In particular, a few of the modules from this year's Mothership Month will probably translate nicely, since they have some cyberpunk flavoring already.
I've attached a screenshot of the WIP's first page as a preview, but here's a list of the additional sections on the following pages:

I've attached a screenshot of the WIP's first page as a preview, but here's a list of the additional sections on the following pages:
- Converting checks and saves
- Converting NPC stat blocks
- Converting player characters
- Instructions to run android PCs (effectively a free 5th player class)
- Conversions for items
- Reverse conversion tips for using BTH items/mechanics in Mothership.
Let me know if there's anything else you think would be helpful to include!
