The Long Haul (Solo Mothership Module)
The stars are cold. The cargo's hot. And pretty much everything out there, wants you dead.
You’re a long-haul space trucker, moving freight through derelict sectors where no one else will. The old trade routes are falling apart, the ports are half-abandoned, and the void between is full of things that want to tear you open.
But this isn't your first run. You’ve got a patched-up rig, a half-charged weapon, and the kind of instinct that only comes from hauling junk through hell for too many years. You know how to keep your Rig movin', how to read a ghost signal, and when to bolt the hatch and pray.
The Long Haul is a solo hex crawl designed for Mothership RPG. Its designed to be played on its own without any other materials aside from a pencil and some dice. Your character sheet and Rig stats are laid out to be easily referenced while mapping your journey on the 7x7 hex map in the center of the trifold.
The Long Haul includes:
- A printable trifold solo module for Mothership RPG
- 4 trucker classes
- d10 tables for hex locations, encounters, and flavor sparks
- An Oracle Table
- Simplified ship to ship combat rules
- Horrors to fight on-foot and threats that hit your ship like a ton of bricks

Loved the mechanics and the theme! First Mothership experience and I'm already craving more. Exploring the vast, dangerous and often empty cosmic highway, that deep space is.
Glad you liked it! Check out Vol 2 for more craziness!
Am I able to play an android in this module, or is it humans only?
Try it! I built this with humans in mind but it would be interesting to see how an android plays.
Hi, great solo for mothership!! Congrats. Maybe I'm missing something, but how should I use the Hex Type table? I couldn't figure it out. Many tnx
Thanks for checking it out! The hex type table describes the environment. Use that along with the sparks table and encounter table to paint the scene and open up roll play opportunities.
Awesome! Many tnx
Am I allowed to use the roll loadout rules from the PSG, or do I have to buy all my equipment myself?
Sure, you can use the loadout rules, as long as it makes sense for the trucker you're building.
Hey, I picked this up from the Black Friday sale since it looked neat. I haven't played any Mothership games, so I read through the player guide for that, but apologies if I missed some obvious stuff.
Are there any playthroughs available that would help getting started? I'll post a few questions here, but it would probably make sense after seeing a couple turns.
Fuel: in "how to play" it says "d10+5 starting fuel", but under "Build your rig" is says "1d10 max fuel". I was just gonna go with the "+5", since otherwise it seems like you'd often end up with more "starting fuel" than the "1d10 max fuel" listed.
I see there are some class bonuses for fuel, but should I assume that it can be purchased at a truck stop as well? Do you follow the "Shore Leave" rules there?
Hey thanks for picking it up! Good eye spotting that, I'll be clarifying that in an updated pdf soon. But in the mean time i would suggest starting with 1d10+5 with a max of 10 total fuel points. As far as resupply goes, when you roll a truck stop, I would roll play that however you'd like, the shore leave rules are good but I wouldn't set credit prices for fuel, just roll 1d10 for your resupplied fuel points. Hope this helps!
thanks!
Is this compatible with other modules?
This is a self contained hex crawl, not really a module but if you wanted to continue your truckers journey after the crawl into something like "A pound of flesh" I could see that working pretty well.
Would love some more community copies!
I just added another set of copies, enjoy!
I've played with this pamphlet multiple times now and I think it is one of the best pieces of solo material playing for a lightweight solo Mothership adventure. The layout is perfect and the tables are great for inspiration and getting straight into presenting the situation. Just an amazing job.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words and im stoked that you've had fun playing!
Really dig the concept and form factor of this - skillfully done!
Would be helpful to have a stress tracker, maybe next to the saves?
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be adding an updated version soon.
Just added the stress tracker, check out the V2 pdfs.
Love it!
