Signal Identity
WHAT WE
TRANSMIT

Dead Signal Publishing makes science-fiction horror scenarios for the Mothership RPG. Not pulp adventure. Not space opera. The kind of horror that comes from isolation, corporate negligence, and systems that were never designed with your survival in mind.

Our modules are built for the table — dense with atmosphere, mechanically clean, and designed to run in a single brutal session or stretch across a campaign. Every product ships with everything a Warden needs and nothing they don't.

We draw from the same source material that made you afraid of the dark: Alien's corporate horror, Dead Space's body terror, Event Horizon's impossible geometry, The Thing's paranoia. That's the frequency we transmit on.
