Description

Your starship is crashing. 

It’s crashing into an uncharted ocean planet on the edge of known space.

It’s OK. This does happen from time to time. As long as you and some of your crew get to the Lifeboats in time, you should be able to eject and crash land somewhere relatively safely.

From there, you should be able to scrounge up enough local resources to survive at least until rescue can come. 

You should be fine, as long as the Skip Drive Core doesn’t breach, local wildlife isn’t too hostile, and you find sources of food and water...

What is This?

This is a Carta-powered scenario for the Cast Away RPG. To play, you need the Cast Away rules, as some of those rules may not be fully explained in this supplement. This is designed for play with 1 to 4 players. A Navigator is optional, but having someone who has read both books before play is probably helpful. This game is designed to simulate sci-fi survival on an uncharted planet that is mostly covered in water. It takes inspiration from the Subnautica series, No Man’s Sky, Oxygen Not Included, and there’s a little of Delve and Umbra mixed in there.

Now With Dracula!

As part of the Dracula Jam, I added additional rules that brings in vampires. Your survivors are now beset by Dracula himself, who is hiding out among the crew. Is your crewmate a traitor? Are they a vampire? If you manage to survive, are you going to bring vampires back to your home world?

You're not entirely helpless--your replicator has blueprints to create a weapon to fight the vampire: A wooden stake. But, what happens if you attack the wrong person?

Dracula Mode draws inspiration from Among Us, and requires four players.
