RPG PDF Spotlights is our daily look at a recent release for a new tabletop roleplaying game, supplement or scenario, or solo journaling game, that has caught my eye.


BREAKING NEWS: A press-driven adventure for Mothership RPG

Mothership Scenario by EpicQuest

BREAKING NEWS is a 40-page zine packed with faction intrigue, investigative scenarios, and journalism-driven tools for Wardens.

  • Run it as a standalone 3–5 session mini-campaign, or drop its pieces into your ongoing Mothership games.

  • Built as a toolbox for the Warden: rumors, story seeds, tables, suggested mechanics, and possible outcomes, so you're never stuck at the table.

  • Layout designed for clarity in play: the details that matter pop, so you can improvise, follow, or remix on the fly.

What's inside:

  • A full mini-campaign, "Show No Pythia": a 3–5 session investigation across Prospero's Dream, full of conspiracies, missing persons, and media-fueled intrigue

  • Faction drama: The Oracle news empire, rival broadcasters, corporate fixers, and desperate influencers, all fighting to control the narrative

  • Mapped locations: from Au Clair de Lune's eerie restaurant front to The Oracle's high-rise tower 

  • Players handouts: Player-facing maps, NPC origins backstory comic by Roque Romero...

  • Rumor Generator and Fallout Tracker: tools to seed new leads, expand the investigation, or keep the conspiracy growing in play

  • NPC journalists and informants: memorable characters with motives, secrets, and hooks to pull your players deeper

  • Original artwork by Haven Milne throughout

  • GM-friendly layout: quick reference on the inside cover, toolkit spread, and a back-cover lookup table tied to the zine's core mechanic

BREAKING NEWS: A press-driven adventure for Mothership RPG is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
