Ran this last weekend and could definitely see myself doing again for another group down the road. It was my group's first time with mothership, so they were not prepared for a goblin to show up based on what they had heard. I ran it as a quick one shot to give them a taste, and they want more!
My crew ultimately welded doors and vents shut, then unloaded their guns on them if the goblin showed up and tried to open them.
I had added a couple first aid kits in the equipment room, and wish I hadn't. Between those and what they brought them they were able to stabilize all bleeding from stab wounds/ bites. I would have had 1-2 deaths without them.
Ran it for some friends and one player went into the vents after the goblin, another tried dancing with the liquor to distract it, and the third one tried shooting it with a revolver (and missed every time)
This is such great dark comedy for a space horror game. The oneshot we played featured a riduculed Marine whose colony was taken out by "goblins." They came out maimed but victorious on Icarus Station, so I can't wait to send them to Goblin Planet!
Fun writing, great design, and a whole lotta (goblin) heart.
Sci-Fi Goblin lovers unite! Nyhur just dropped a DIGITAL GOBLIN pamphlet adventure for Cy_Borg that feels very much in the same spiritual lane as ICARUS STATION. Check it out: https://nyhur.itch.io/cy-borg-digital-goblin-hunt

An expert plan, perfectly executed! Sounds like some wild, chaotic fun. Thanks for playing!
