Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by David for ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’, a sci-fi political roleplaying game about political freedom and standing up for what’s right.

Written by Tim C Koppang and published by TCK Roleplaying, ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’ is a standalone tabletop roleplaying game designed specifically for two players. One will take on the role of the “saviour” of the resistance movement, 39 Dark. The other will be responsible for all the various problems that are pressing down on the citizens of Mars. 

The object of the game is to tell a meaningful story about the savour’s attempt to change Mars Colony for the better and cope with their own sense of self-worth in the face of mounting violence and political backlash.

You can buy ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’ and download game resources on the TCK Roleplaying website.
