Grandmothership By Armanda Haller

What’s GRANDMOTHERSHIP? 

A TTRPG for 2-4 players and 1 GM about space, horror, and senior ladies piecing together a mystery. Get in trouble, crochet a new scarf, go ballroom dancing, and find solutions where everyone else has failed—a game designed to be played as one-shot sessions made a reality through Crowdfundr for Zine Month 23. 

GRANDMOTHERSHIP is inspired by Honey Heist, Brindlewood Bay, and Mothership, taking some tools and vibes from all those games. I have nothing to do with those games and designers.
