Stuck Out in the Black

Your ship, the Star Ferret, has broken down… again. A power surge knocked out several vital systems, leaving you stranded in interstellar space. You’ve got to find a way to get going again, before things get even worse.

Stuck Out in the Black is a one-shot RPG for two or more players and a GM, which combines a collaborative map-making game with an exciting sci-fi scenario. Design your ship together, then try to repair it after things go horribly wrong! All you need is some paper (or a virtual tabletop) and a few six-sided dice.

Inspired by Firefly and The Great Soul Train Robbery, as well as The Quiet Year and Wanderhome.

The game has two formats, a one-page "zine" to print on the front and back of a single piece of paper, and a file for digital use with the individual pages separated. I've also included a PNG image of the Star Ferret outline for using in virtual tabletops and for printing separately.
