#4: Adrift in an Astral Sea

ADRIFT IN AN ASTRAL SEA is a single-player game, requiring pen, paper and six-sided die. You are a sailor of the Astral — where old gods come to be forgotten — searching for that which can fuel your apotheosis.

Note: Adrift in an Astral Sea is the fourth game in my Knick Knack challenge (make a creation — game, fiction or otherwise — every fortnight). You can find the rest of my Knick Knacks here.

Inspired by works such as Terry Pratchett’s Small Gods, Planescape (both the tabletop roleplaying game and Torment) and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman; ADRIFT is my attempt at a short and minimalistic narrative-driven roleplaying game. Each playthrough aims to create either an engaging story of failure in a strange realm or an exciting tale of how the multiverse’s newest divinity came to be.

Below's an example of a post-game creation. If you've played and enjoyed it, do share your own creations! I would love to read them.
