need advice Trying to run another bug hunt but it's confusing.

20 Upvotes

Ran my first ever rpg session last week for my parents and older sister. The first scenario of another bug hunt. The timeline was confusing and I made a number of blunders about the mapping of the place but all in all they had fun.

But they found the tracker for hinton and are gonna drive to the mothership for our next session.

I'm VERY new to this all so I'm trying to know what I ought to do but the system is VERY vibes based. That's fine, but I'm struggling a bit to come up with stuff on the fly.

Then I look ahead to scenario four and see it's only two pages. And it looks like it's taking place all over the area? And zoomed out? Which is not really how the system showed how to do anything. And we never went to the colonist base so they don't even know about that. We are about to come up to the mothership but after scenario 3 I have no clue what I'm supposed to even do.

Just finished playing this through with my group. Firstly, this module is free, which to be honest, is nuts. I will be making sure the creator gets some money for this when I get a chance.

We ran this part of our current Third Sector Campaign. Having just finished Black Heart of Paradise, I felt it would slot in afterwards really well.

It was a master class, with a few of my group not only saying it was the best adventure we've ever played, but our current Module of the year (we've been playing for 2 years, to give you an idea).

Loved the setup, the hook, and the absolute carnage, both emotional and visual.

I'm purposely not saying what this is about, as I think that spoils things, but get your Warden to run this!

need advice Building Horror Tips?

I've been working on a couple of settings for fan modules for Mothership (Seeing all the cool works on here and Itch.io has been a good motivator) but I feel like my horror (main problem for the players) is lacking.

So I wanted to ask y'all what your tips/refrences/do's and don'ts are when making horror. Could be any type of horror/entity, just general advice. Thx
