Survivors was my first published game. It was created as part of PocketQuest 2023 over at DTRPG and it is (as Techwhispers) originally inspired by Babylon 5. The adventure was previously conceived for the old and long forgotten The Babylon Project RPG game by Chameleon Eclectic which we played extensively with my gang and was previously created as part of the GMS Magazine's 1000 Word Adventure contest. I have redesigned it, enlarged it for the PocketQuest and also designed the system used in the game.

The system is card-based and requires a bit of a paradigm shift within the players. It is not focused on succeeding so much as it is based on seamless role-playing. The players draw cards and hold their "fate" in their hands - thus when a resolution of a task comes, they know whether they might succeed or fail and may act / role-play accordingly. The focus in the game is on the horror and suspense present on a seemingly abandoned space outpost... and their interactions. Thus, should players be more on the gamist-side of things, they may be a bit disappointed as the system makes actions harder with time.

I would love your experiences with the game and the system! Let me know in the comments after you play it! ;)
