Our take on Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game
The defining structure is a turn-based party RPG where nearly every confrontation can be approached through combat, stealth, or speech, while faction relationships and earlier choices shape the consequences.
What is Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game?
Set aboard a generation ship traveling toward Proxima Centauri, this is an isometric, turn-based RPG with parties of up to four drawn from ten possible members.
Players navigate a ship fractured by mutiny and competing factions, with quests that can be approached through combat, stealth, or speech skills such as Persuasion, Streetwise, and Impersonate. Combat depends on accuracy, evasion, damage, resistance, equipment, cover, and attack choices. Stealth tracks detection by tile, while movement and actions generate noise that raises guard suspicion. Choices, reputation, deeds, skills, and relationships affect consequences across branching dialogue and faction conflicts. The setting includes locations such as the Pit, Hydroponics, the Armory, Mission Control, the Shuttle Bay, and the Factory.
