Terminus 359

Abandoned cargo ships. Outposts floating silently through asteroid fields. The wind roaring as you step off the shuttle onto soil. Space stations teeming with life, and other things.  Familiar halls and misplaced sounds.

Terminus 359 is a 10-page ttrpg for a GM and 2-4 players, inspired by films like Annihilation and the Alien franchise, and is intended for standalone scenarios and one-shots. Players take on the role of the crew on a freighter hauling cargo from the far end of a quiet sector, before receiving a distress call that draws them towards sci-fi horror.  All the while, one player makes moves under secret Company directives, leaving the rest of the party at risk while trying to keep from breaking contract.

This game features

• a set of simple dice rolling mechanics that prioritize desperate action and teamwork
• a role for one player to work against the team's efforts on behalf of your Company
• tables for quick-play, or for inspiration to build off of when designing your own setting and monsters,
• as well as tables to quickly populate your crew with a simple cast, who are your player's health pool.

To play, you will need a handful of d6 and some index cards.
