EXIT STRATEGY: A Space-Themed Pocket RPG

The draconian government of The New Colonies decided it’s cheaper to destroy the space prison rather than evacuate it. The problem? You’re still keeping guard there.

EXIT STRATEGY is a space-themed pocket RPG with a sandbox, open world to encourage theater-of-the-mind gameplay. Players use their creativity playing prison guards trying to escape the cold, resource-depleted planet Jeelit. They must work together, form unlikely alliances, and locate resources before time runs out.

What’s needed to play:

One GM and at least one player, this module, 6D6 per person, and a writing utensil. Minimum prep time involved. Play time: 1-2 hours.

This pocket module contains:

• All rules needed to play based on the author's original Start With Six game engine
• Character sheet
• The adventure
• A planetary profile of Jeelit
  
• GM tips
• Artwork
• Special sneak peek of the original short story behind the game
• Replayability potential: Switch things up by taking on a different personality or a different role
• A clean, minimalist layout provides both greater accessibility (with clickable links throughout the PDF) and ease on ink usage when printing
• A very approachable manner for new GMs and players, with enough flexibility and open-world intrigue for more experienced GMs and players as well
