Survive Against an Evil AI in Proxy Error for Mothership - Available Now on Itch.io!
Hot take: AI bad.
Available now on Itch.io, you can get yourself a copy of Alex Vigna's first published module outside of D&D, Proxy Error!
Proxy Error is a 50-page zine module written for Mothership 1E, as seen on Roll For Distraction! In Proxy Error, your players will take on the role of a hastily-assembled party of prisoners under the boot of an evil megacorporation, fighting to wipe away their debts and criminal records. They'll be exploring an abandoned research station, and contending with an AI that's a bit different than the kind you're probably used to from movies like Terminator. Without getting into spoilers, this AI is coming for much more than just the jobs of the people on the Lethe Research Base...

- A table of reality-bending moves for the base's super-powered AI to make.
- New enemy NPCs, with stats and lore.
- Instructions for modifying the campaign to make new playthroughs more interesting for you, the warden.
