What is ARKYVR?
ARKYVR is a film-documentarian toolkit for Mothership 1E where players put their lives and sanity on the line to make a movie in an alien infested kill zone. Assigned with a Shot List of footage deliverables; documentary crews will venture into dangerous locations to capture its sights, sounds, and stories. Players will choose what stories to follow and which moments to record. If an ARKYVR happens to survive their film shoot, they must decide how to distribute the footage. Some clients will pay a handsome price to cover up their dirty work while others will use it to lead a revolution.
