Mothership RPG - Xiao! Long! Bao!, the secret behind Uncle Bao's soup dumplings
Mothership RPG - Xiao! Long! Bao! is set on Prospero's Dream, the space station from the A Pound of Flesh expansion, in a trendy dim sum restaurant run by the legendary Head Chef Uncle Bao. While his soup dumplings are considered the best in the galaxy, the adventure pulls players from a social investigation into a survival horror scenario involving an Alien-inspired monstrosity that turns its victims' own biology against them.
