Bio-Drones & Cryo-Clones is a 48pg biopunk facility-crawl for Mothership RPG, inspired by the body horror of Cronenberg’s The Fly and a twisted take on Metroidvania “save stations.” This zine is the first installment of The Sleeper Crew Adventures zine series. PCs wake up in the Mountain Forces R&D Facility, dropped smack center into the plans of a scientist gone mad in her love for the dead despot that once owned the world. Players must gather clues, navigate NPC motivations, evade monstrosities before they Become the Mutants. Can they break the cycle? Or are they doomed to reawaken and Become the Mutant again and again, until it's too late? "A tightly crafted module daubed with body horror and mystery with a premise I wish I’d come up with. Expect an unholy marriage between Demolition Man and a grim Groundhog Day with a trick up its sleeve that’s sure to bring delight to your table.” - Alfred Valley, Thousand Empty Light, Lay on Hands. Bio-Drones & Cryo-Clones follows the Mothership RPG tradition to maximize page space, stuffing these 48 pages with gameplay features. Packed in this zine you’ll find: Sleeper Crew and alternative adventure hooks to bring your players into Chen's machinations. 5 Bio-Drone types and a d100 Bio-Drone Abnormalities table to heighten the Cronenbergian body horror. Cryo-Clone Mutation Table with 45 possible variations (or more!) to change up the freak factor. 10 industrial-sized zones to explore within the Mountain Forces R&D Facility with 20+ unique areas. 5 NPCs trapped in Chen’s Mountain Bunker, each with their own agendas. New weapons and equipment to help PCs Survive, Solve and Save. Two massive monstrosities, and post-game seeds to keep Chen’s horrors sprouting up throughout your games.
