Reply to comment by DarkWingedDaemon in [WP] A colony ship with 5000 human passengers in stasis is heavily damaged in a meteor shower. While the onboard computer does not have the raw materials needed for repairs, it calculates that it has a very large amount of organic matter and a genetics lab.

Woof. Add in some encounters and slowly escalating life-or-death situations and you've got yourself a survival-horror campaign.

Actually, have you seen "Pandorum" (2009)? That movie got me pretty hard and now that I think about it that would be an amazing tabletop.

That is the plan. I'm going to start it off with small encounters with rampant maintenance drones and security turrets. Then cap off the ship with a boss battle against a combat android just before they get access to the bridge. Then boom, drop the plot in their lap and give them the freedom of where to go from there.

I enjoyed Pandorum quite a bit. The whole twist of the colony ship having crashed on the planet centuries before the start of the movie was wild.

Aye, it would be a fun adventure.
