Nest of the Circuit Roaches
A downloadable game
The station’s computers are malfunctioning because of extensive Circuit Roach tunneling. The party must deal with the infestation and repair the Internal Core.
System-agnostic (no stats, only guidelines). Good fit for sci-fi/horror OSR and old-school games like Traveller, Mothership or Stars Without Number!
I drew and wrote this small adventure by hand, on a single sheet of paper. It can be folded into a "pocketmod" booklet.
For ease of use, I also included the typed-up text of the adventure (one-page dungeon style), a screen-version of the hand-written pages, and separate referee & player maps.

Fun little adventure; I liked the single-page typed version best. One typo: "Gaping *w*hole in server tower."
Thank you! Yes, the typed version is definitely the easiest to use :)
Good catch, I will update the file a bit later.
At least I know if Lil Timmy shows his face around here, I can shake a blue teddy bear at him. I really like the hand drawn map a lot.
Spoilers, dude! ;)
Thanks!
I drew the map on graph paper, then traced it over onto the white sheet (by putting it against the window as my lightbox...). The graph paper also helped me to keep the map small enough to fit in the pocketmod's spread.
