Mothership RPG Solo Play | Thousand Empty Light Ep. 4 — Intruders
The descent into madness continues in Episode 4 of my solo Mothership RPG: Thousand Empty Light actual play. I’m DarthVegan, and this time Devon Valentine enters Section 3: The Bulge—TEL022’s largest and most unstable region.
Inside, Devon finds parasitically deformed survivors, who plead for him to “take them deeper.” Despite their grotesque appearance and cryptic warnings, Devon stays focused on his mission—restoring power—while resisting mounting stress and Ari, the AI, who grows increasingly hostile.

Welcome to Mothership® , the award-winning sci-fi horror RPG where you and your crew try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space!
Thought space was full of horror? Try being trapped 70 metres underwater. On your own. In the dark.
THOUSAND EMPTY LIGHT is a psychedelic-xerox adventure zine that brings solo play to Mothership RPG (1E). Written throughout as an in-game corporate document, the zine takes the core game’s rules and builds a procedure for playing single handedly. It is a 36 page survival horror adventure, short story and universal solo toolkit all wrapped up into one.
The adventure casts the player in the role of a lamplighter hired by the HAZMOS service corporation. Their job? Enter an abandoned underwater tunnel on an uninhabited planet alone and restore power and light to each section. As they proceed, the player will discover that things aren’t quite what they seem.
This is an experiment in tabletop adventure design, requiring a healthy amount of interpretation from the player.
