Escape Velocity
A downloadable game
Their planet was threatened and so they built a fleet of great starships and they left. These were the generation ships: huge arks able to sustain generation upon generation until they could reach a new home among the stars.
You are one of those starships.

Exit Velocity is a short, narrative, pen-and-paper roleplaying game for one player. It is a one-act hack of the wonderful Lost & Found engine and was written as a last-minute entry for the 2024 One-Page RPG Jam. No generative AI was used in its creation.
It might get a proper layout at some point.

I really like this! I feel like you can tell quite a bit narratively with this design while leaving so much room for personal interpretation. Also adore the spaceship theme
That's really appreciated. It's a balancing act, for sure.
I made Lick-29, a frog ship, a sloshy but sleek colony vessel hopping its way to Swamp Candidate 462. Many amphibians gave their life so that the future generations could visit Licky, which is now a history museum, and eat Impossible Flies that nobody eats anymore and you only try it here out of nostalgia.
The musical interludes were fantastic. I wound up playing Frogs by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds during the final rest. It was majestic.
Oh, incredible! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Love the concept!
Thanks!
I always wanted to be a starship. This looks like a really fun way to do that.
We've all been there.
