Distress Calls
Distress calls is a sci-fi horror RPG set on an undersupplied space station or frontier colony where players will be thrust into the roles of crew members as they struggle to survive and work together in order to prevent outside forces from introducing chaos within their isolated community. The game features robust tables for character & plot generation, mechanical systems designed to keep participants engaged at all times, drawing inspiration from popular sci-fi franchises such Alien (and its ilk), Outland, Event Horizon, and John Carpenter's body of work as a whole.
