Nebula Noir

Nebula Noir is a one-page solo journaling RPG created specifically for the One-Page RPG Jam 2023. It casts you as a private investigator aboard a generational ship, embroiled in a mystery that could spell doom for its inhabitants. Unfolding over 10 tense rounds (or days), you'll navigate a web of clues, suspects, locations, and encounters, guided by narrative-driven random tables that create a unique experience every time you play. Your PI's background, skills, and traits aren't merely cosmetic; they inform every decision you make as you delve into the rumor of sabotage and the ticking clock of a potential self-destruct sequence. Will you uncover a false alarm or halt a true disaster?

Your journey through the game is as much about the story you weave as the challenges you face, using a simple D10 system that generates outcomes ranging from failure to success. With every clue uncovered and encounter navigated, you'll add to your points, leading to one of several endings that reflect your investigative prowess. Whether you're a seasoned spacer, a reformed criminal, or a disillusioned law officer, your character's unique attributes will shape the way you approach the mystery. The only question is, are you ready to defy the void and uncover the truth?
