The Dark Sentencer
The Dark Sentencer is a tarot card based storytelling game for 2+ players, where you and your friends play out eleven days in the lives of alien mobsters, robotic pirates, and completely human con artists attempting to escape the galaxy's most dangerous prison planet. It's inspired by the Coheed and Cambria song of the same name (and the entire album Unheavenly Creatures).  If you're interested in formal rules for playing The Dark Sentencer as a solo/journaling game, you should check out the solo ruleset by Matthew Gravelyn! This game was written as an entry for the Record Collection 2k19 Jam! Page background courtesy of NASA's Unsplash page.
