I am always excited for any Mothership pamphlet that can bend the genre in a different direction. I think this pamphlet, or the resulting post-jam draft, will end up right next to my Agent and Ultimate Badass rules tweaks. I think it would be interesting to pair this with Awaiting The Burning Gods.
My only critiques are regarding some of the layout, all of which is to personal taste. The skill list for the new Sponsor class could maybe use some denser line fill as well as some skill explanation. Maybe sacrificing the ship stats and rearranging the interior panels might balance things out better as the ship is not the draw of the pamphlet? It could still be included as a digital printout. Additionally, there are so many different colour shades on the page, it might be more cohesive if the colour palette were reduced a little.
Minor notes aside, this is exciting. The cover art is evocative, the layout textures lend the pamphlet a real in-universe quality, and the Sponsor seems like a great class option for a real stinker of a player.
