Distress Calls for Space RPGS
A downloadable game
Distress Calls for Space RPGs is a book full of thirty unique, hand-crafted 1-page scenarios, each of which is a distress call that can be used for your space RPG.
Each distress call scenario is built with skill-based space RPGs in mind like Traveller, Mothership, Stars Without Number and more. Scenarios are built to focus on many of the less-used skills in these games. In this book you'll find distress call scenarios that ask your players to:
- Save the crew of a ship from an onboard stampede
- Help a crew break back onto the bridge of their ship
- Navigate a high-stakes, tension-filled gambling game where a ship is on the line...mid-flight
- Save a high-end art collection while the transport ship burns
- ...and plenty more!
Each scenario includes:
- a unique encounter
- character and ship names
- character motivations
- skill suggestions on how to handle the distress call
- mechanics for what happens if a character succeeds or fails
- scenario resolution
Check out the sample in the images to see if these distress calls would add excitement to your game!
