A Perfect Rock RPG

The colony-management loop during planetary surveys is the best part—it's tense when oxygen runs low, but the dice mechanics for strange alien worlds keep every session feeling fresh. We've played three campaigns already and the search for a new home never gets old.

The search for a new home really lands emotionally when our crew finally found a habitable world—the last-starship premise had me invested from the first session. The planet exploration feels genuinely tense, like every strange landmark could be our doom or salvation.

The exploration rules give each planet a genuinely alien feel, and the colony-building mechanics add satisfying long-term stakes. I only wish the rulebook had a better index for quick reference during play.
