Alien Dark
This game is about human colonists working on the frontier of space competing against corporations for dominance, while facing harsh realities such as dangerous terrain and alien creatures that may pose a threat to their survival or progress. The fate of any character in this setting can be bleak due to stressors like limited resources and exposure to other player characters who have more experience than they do. Players use online character keeper tool (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/) called "Online Character Keeper" to manage a team's skills, abilities, weapons, equipment, and relationships with each member of the crew in real time over an extended period or campaign setting for up-to 10 players where they all play on their home computers during regular work hours while working fulltime jobs.
