Having survived their fall from the Bean Barge, mere miles from the final city on Earth - Tack Town - our intrepid gang assesses their next move. How heavy is an escape pod? Do they investigate a spooky dance hall? How would one shower without access to clean water? Do they trust Woody to speak at all? 

Danger lurks in even the brightest of dawns.

We Enter the world of Cloud Empress - an ecological fantasy TTRPG setting for the Mothership System.

Centuries after the fall of civilization, the Earth is dominated by the Imago - giant, mystical cicadas that roam the land. Consuming a magical substance referred to as chalk, as well as the remnants of humanity, these beings are usually best left to their own devices. Sunshine, Nimbus Octavius Nobody, and Dr. Woody C. Marmota navigate this dangerous world in pursuit of their human (and woodchuck) desires. Growth, personal pride, even just a sense of normalcy. However, as the Century Brood emerges and the armies from the clouds descend upon the Lowland, the road to their dreams may be bumper than expected.
