Restruct

Restruct is a rules lite sci-fi exploration game that gives you everything you need in 20 pages, and a Copper Bestseller on DriveThruRPG in less than a month.

Your Ship has crashed.
You are the only survivors.
You want to get home.
You need Parts to fix your Ship.

In Restruct you are the survivors of a spaceship crash, marooned on an uncharted or remote planet. Help isn't coming for you.

You and your crewmates will need to explore your surroundings if you are going to salvage the components you need to repair your ship and get off whichever forsaken celestial body you've smashed into.

The objective of the crew in Restruct is simple.

Explore, find Parts to repair your Ship, and don't die in the process. The planet you are on will be littered with hazards, anything from the terrain and weather, to alien wildlife, marauders and gravitational anomalies. Parts can be found in all manner of strange locations, a dense jungle or a century abandoned industrial complex.

Restruct immediately puts you in the shoes of a crew member, with generators for your profession, appearance, and the like. From cooks to captains, everyone is welcome. You even get to collectively decide aspects of your ship and why it crashed.

You are no soldiers, no galactic heroes in Restruct. You are civilians, but you are still spacers. Clever spacers, with the wits to find a way back home, you are rewarded for thinking of smart solutions to problems.

Failure is always interesting Restruct, because it means consequences. Scenes in the game are always evolving, because rolls always have an impact. When Keray fails her attempt to hack the terminal, the plot moves forward rather than staying still.

Restruct is great fun for players. But it's even better for GMs.
