Our take on In Search of a Home
The bounce point arrives when supplies and population begin to decline. Players who expect to preserve every member of the fleet or retain every item will encounter the central system when reaching a new home requires deciding what is nonessential.
What is In Search of a Home?
Guide a small fleet of ships and people through unknown galaxies in search of a planet to call home.
The journey requires managing limited resources and a declining population while maintaining fleet morale, negotiating with factions, researching technologies, and exploring the galaxy for supplies. The rogue-like structure places difficult choices at the center of the campaign: not everyone will reach the destination, and some people or items may need to be treated as nonessential. Decisions about resource use, population, faction relationships, and the fleet’s unity shape the expedition as it continues toward a new home.
