A TTRPG page spread. Text: The ship is gone. You watched her hull split open, the sea pour in, and the storm consume everything. You remember the cargo you carried: the people below decks, the ones you swore to bring to safe water. Maybe some of them made it to the lifeboats. You hope so. Now there are four of you on a rowboat too small for four, and a sky that will not stop stirring overhead. No engine. No land in any direction. Only the stars, the thinning storm, and the knowledge that one of you betrayed the cause you spent your lives working for. Here there is a small group of fish drawn in the shapes of card suits. Text resumes: What is this? Adrift in a Constellation Storm is a storytelling game for four players (no more & no fewer). It takes about an hour once you know the rules. You play the surviving crew of a smuggling boat that ran refugees out of a fascist state, until a member of the crew radioed your position to the regime, and the storm and the cannons did the rest. One of you is that someone. The rest of you are trying to live long enough to find out who. Underneath the fiction is a bluffing game. You will bid over a shared field of hidden cards that represent the stars in the sky. You’ll call each other liars, and lose, and starve, and in the starving, recall your past. You will need: one standard deck of 52 cards (no jokers), a table you can sit around in a circle (or a rowboat, for immersion), and the stomach for a story that does not end well for most of you.
The four card suits (Heart, Spade, Club, Diamond) remade as fish.
