Fantastic stuff, got two questions though. On the Sunless King it states “Reloading takes a full turn”. Is that not already the case as per the PSG? Or is this referring to something else? Also on specific weapons it states “Railgun ammo only” or “Shotgun shells only” for example. Does this mean it can only use the ammo listed in Custom Ammo or just it’s ammo can’t be swapped?

Hey HWC! thank you! glad that you liked the supplement. In response to your questions, as per the survival guide, I understand that reload takes an action, then players can move as well, but in the case of the Sunless king, reload takes movement as well. The full turn should be spent standing in one place changing magazines. Shotgun shells only, is just so people know that you cannot use smart rifle ammo in a shotgun! So for a shotgun, you could go normal, which is shooting with the guns damage without any additional effect, or custom ammo of the shotgun category. For railguns, notice that there are just 2 railgun custom ammo, and thats all they can use, plus normal which will be just railgun damage in the stat block.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Gotcha. :) Additionally, could you provide a copy of the “Inventory and Weapon Fillable Sheet” with two Weapon Profile pages? (So they have separate pages for Main and Secondary) I run online games and I don’t own a program that can make editable pages. (Hopefully this is okay to ask!) Thankyou :)

Hey! Done! You can find the new pdf in the download section.
Please consider leaving a review and a rating! it helps more than you think! let me know if you need anything else! cheers!

Hey! Using this in an Ultimate Badass Hardlight campaign. Just presented the fillable inventory and weapon sheets to my party. I see TKG is out of stock of Heat Signature. Any more plans for physical versions of this and COLD STORAGE?

Hello Enoch! Ty so much for trying Heatsignature!!!

I havent read ultimate badass but I think I will! My party is that kind of players!

Regarding physical Coldstorage, I will probably launch 30/50 copies of it next year with a new Heatsignature run.

Dibs on one of each!

I’m definitely in love with this supplement. Added to my Space marshals campaign. Used last anti-tank weapon as weapon to hunt giant mechanical centipede.

Nice! Ty so much for sharing, sounds really cool!!!

Just tried it out and my players loved it! Are there any plans for a similar addon for armors as well? 

(+1)

Hey Denton,

Right now I am writting COLDSTORAGE, its for items more than exclusivily armors, but there are some armors there.
These items are from poisoners kit to alien armors, pets and even a rosary for the Thelogists out there!

Is still in the works but I do have 90 items so far, I still need 1 or 2 months to finish it, polish it and test it with my own group.

The idea is that players can build their characters, each skill will allow them to use different items in different ways, once the suplement is out and you read the example pages this phrase will have much more sense!

Thank you so much for your kind words and the comment!

Sounds awesome, looking forward to it^^

Are there any plans for a physical release?

Hey Nikolai, yes, it should be available on the TKG storefront soon, I cannot tell you exactly when though. I already sent physical copies to them, now the ball is in their court!

Awesome! I´ll be keeping an eye out

only a dollar per weapons, what a steal....

This is absolutely a premium addition to my slowly growing mothership collection. The artwork you make with your models and shading are incredible, it helps get inspiration going quick, and I'm already a huge fan of the inventory system. I'm not normally someone who does comments but this zine is definitely money dang well spent and you deserve to hear it.

(+1)

Hey man what a stellar comment. This do help me a lot since some people see the price and gets discouraged by it, so hearing from people that is actually enjoying the zine it really helps!
If you feel like helping me a bit more, leaving a rating could be awesome for this zine!
Thank you so much for your purchase and I hope you enjoy it!

I might have missed it but what does anti-armor do? Also, I absolutely love this module and am definitely adding it to my campaign.

(+2)

Hey Kahuna!

Thanks for buying this module!

Anti Armor is a property that already exists in Mothership. The smart rifle from the PSG has AA which means anti armor. It gives the weapon the ability to destroy armor on contact, doesnt matter if the damage is less than the armor points, anti armor will always shatter armor unless the armor has damage reduction and the damage reduction absorbs the damage done.


Check the official Mothership Player Survival Guide for more details!

Oh you are so right! Thanks again!

Players and I were fortunately able to chip-in on purchasing this, absolutely amazing work.  Big fan of the Backpack/Inventory system.  This expansion is perfect for possible loot in my game of Gradient Descent, as both artifacts and weapons they might find.  Love the 3D modelling too!

The modularity and high powered weapons are a fun way to increase survivability in long term campaigns.

My players have really enjoyed the expanded options.
Great on the author for hearing the community.

Hi Mordekain,

Thanks for your feedback! Will try to improve on those points on future zines!

Regards!
