Holy forking shirtballs! The US domestic shipping for the latest official Mothership supplement, Wages of Sin, is $27. My pledge back in 2024 was $50. I know I can't blame Tuesday Knight Games for the stupidity of the US government, USPS, and air freight carriers, but I don't see how this is sustainable.

planet money’s latest episode looks interesting.

“Maybe the real monster in the Alien franchise isn't actually the killer alien. Because behind the acid blood and jump scares is an even more insidious horror: a single employer with unchecked power. That employer is named Weyland-Yutani, a mega-corporation that dominates workers across the galaxy.“

We're into the nitty gritty. Well my PC is sleeping late after working half the night at his job, but the other two slip into a cult and find some creepy goings on, possibly breaking the laws of physics. But they get some great intel and we sell it to two different buyers and now we don't need joe jobs. The game is afoot. I liked slower start and working our way into the setting.

We now have an actual job and start to investigate a creepy cult that strangely seems to have quite a lot of pull in this socialist space station.
