Sean McCoy is the author of the SciFi horror tabletop role-playing game Mothership. Winner of a 2019 Gold ENnie Award for Best Game, and heavily inspired by classical horror movies like Alien or Event Horizon, Mothership is redesigning, and giving a new youth to the SciFi horror genre in TTRPGs.
In this episode we talk about specific game design choices, building a company, community support, being seven years old and playing RPGs until 3am, pivoting from a career in filmmaking to RPG design. And foremost, we talk about the new Mothership Boxed Set edition.
If you’re a designer, if you’re venturing into the indie RPG business, if you’re a fan of Sci-Fi and horror, this super open and generous conversation with Sean McCoy is for you.
