Voyagers in the Dark
WHAT IS THIS?This is a tabletop role-playing and storytelling game where players take control of an Allied spacecraft crew, embarking into space for espionage missions. The ship has replicas to represent different alien species that are encountered on their journey through the cosmos. Players create commanding officers with various specialties like engineer or medic before taking bold actions such as going rogue in order to accomplish a mission while protecting home planets from dangerous situations and threats posed by other civilizations. Story mechanics allow for fictional descriptions of encounters, secret bases guarded only by advanced technology found hidden within an unknown civilization's history books on their solar collection array that can be used to power the spacecraft but also creates tension between crew members in terms of how much they reveal or protect about these secrets from each member. The game is easy and concise with a modular character creation system, random generation for planets' characteristics like colors (for stars), mutations as well as eyes, secret bases hidden behind alien technology that require more research to uncover their true purpose but are always full of surprises in terms of the technologies they possess or secrets kept by them. The game's ruleset is inspired from Star Trek series and movies with various tabletop role- playing games such as Band of Blades (2019) also featuring its own inspiration, allowing for
