Asset Creation: Distress Call from Boomertown is a behind-the-scenes episode of Darkstar, a Mothership Actual Play Podcast from Dice Company.
Before the distress call is answered, the assets must be created.
In this prelude episode, we step behind the scenes to build the characters who will shape Darkstar: Distress Call from Boomertown. The crew discuss their character concepts, connections, personal stakes, and the motivations that will drive them into the unknown.
We explore how the Mothership RPG system approaches character creation and how those choices help establish the tone, themes, and dangers of the story to come.
