First Contact

"Welcome to the new world, a recently discovered planet somewhere within the Perseus arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Dense atmosphere and magnetic interference cloud our efforts and prevent us from taking accurate readings, so we’ve authorized deployment to the planet’s surface. As a member of the research team, it is your job to explore this planet and document all your findings in hopes of one day creating permanent human settlements. You have come prepared with allies, advanced equipment, and your own arsenal of skills and wisdom to guide you along your journey. Good luck! But beware, the uncharted territory conceals many secrets and dangers."

First Contact is a ttrpg that uses journaling elements and player-driven narration to generate a chilling tale of space exploration. The player is tasked with creating a character, background, and motive, and will document their journey as they are faced with randomized encounters and wild scenarios.

This game features:

-20 different scenarios, each with their own personal attributes. Some will be beneficial and help you towards your goal, while others pose a grave threat to your survival.

- Alternate game modes that allow the player to expand upon their established storyline and play with their friends.

-Infinite combinations and story possibilities. Play again and again for different adventures!

-player choice is the dominant focus. Characters, setting and events are all created, interpreted and narrated through the player's imagination.
