Ships That Pass
A game for two players about queer spaceships with crushes on each other, the biological allies they make along the way, and the Powers That Be threatening to separate them all. Players design their spaceships and then roleplay scenes between ships, between ship and pilot, and -- if their anomalies are detected -- between pilots and agents of The MAN (Monitors of Artificial Norms), a privatized organization that deals with aberrant tech. This game is designed to help you tell stories of queer connection, resistance, allyship, and hope, in the face of capitalist pressure to conform.
