Write to find out in this epistolary game about community, the apocalypse and being left behind.
🎴Mechanics - Choose or randomly select a prompt. Journal as Cassiopeia. Then draft up a message to be sent off-planet, and apply a random or chosen constraint.
👥Players - 1, unless the 2-player stretch goal is met.
💰Price - $8 AUD for a PDF and $16 AUD for PDF and physical. Other tiers include other zines. Funding on Kickstarter until the 18th.
I'm currently kickstarting a solo roleplaying game. Essentially, it's a series of writing prompts and restrictions, where you play within a set framework.
In Earth to Jupiter, you write as Cassiopeia. You decide who that is. You are trapped in the University, writing messages to Jupiter, who left on a space colonising mission before the apocalyptic state of the world became known.
You don't need any previous experience with roleplaying games! You also don't need any friends, or any dice, or any particularly scarce materials. Back the kickstarter to get a digital copy or a physical copy.
(Sorry, it's shill time from me)
My Zine Month game, Earth to Jupiter is live!
It's a write-to-find-out* solo* game, about being left behind on an apocalyptic earth. You are given 12 messages worth of prompts and constraints, first to journal / discover the answers to, then to format into a message to 'Jupiter', who left the planet on a space colonisation mission. Jupiter doesn't know about the apocalypse, and you plan to keep it that way.
It's almost Zine Month, that wonderful time of the year where roleplaying game zines are in abundance across crowdfunding sites!
On February the 4th I'll be crowdfunding Earth to Jupiter, an epistolary solo game about being left behind on an apocalyptic Earth. If the stretch goal is met, I'll also release a companion game allowing for asynchronous duet play! Or a second point of view for solo play, if you'd prefer.
The games are full laid out, with a space-themed scrapbook look to them. You're given 12 message 'scenarios', with prompts and restraints for each, then gently released to continue on on your own. (If you've never played roleplaying games before, you can think of these as writing exercises.)
