ENnie Award Nominee for Best Supplement 2025
ARKYVR is a film-documentarian toolkit for Mothership RPG where players put their lives and sanity on the line to make a movie in an alien infested kill zone. Assigned with a Shot List of footage deliverables; documentary crews will venture into dangerous locations to capture its sights, sounds, and stories. Players will choose what stories to follow and which moments to record. If an ARKYVR happens to survive their film shoot, they must decide how to distribute the footage. Some clients will pay a handsome price to cover up their dirty work while others will use it to lead a revolution.
How will you use your craft to shift the balance of power in the universe? Will you even live long enough to tell the story?
ARKYVR was a Diversity Saves Grant Recipient and funded during Zine Month 2024 on Crowdfundr in collaboration with Tabletop Non-Stop.

“What a gloriously postmodern twist to give a game that’s already about living out horror movies because here you are FILMING THOSE MOVIES!”
Quinn Smith (Quinns Quest)
“ARKYVR understood the assignment from front to back and it is the reason I finally started reading Mothership. A module so cool that it makes you pick up the core rulebook? There’s no better recommendation than that.”
Brian Flaherty (Twenty Sided Newsletter)
“I feel like they nailed this!”
Erik Frankhouse (Frankhouse Presents)
