Apart from actual disasters, 38 missions resulted in some very near misses and also some training accidents that nearly resulted in deaths. From there, you can start using roll charts to set up the HUB background (separated by Spacecraft and Station), and HUB quirk (such as dimmed lights or shaking violently when the engine runs on maximum). I have not had the opportunity to play the game, although I have experience with some of the games listed as influences on this one, including the Alien RPG and Mothership.However, when the remaining reaction control system fuel was jettisoned, one parachute was damaged by the discarded fuel causing it to collapse. As I mentioned above, this isn’t exactly a horror sci-fi game, but it does have themes of nihilism and inevitable decay.
The fact that you can move 15 meters is only vaguely relevant as there is no mention made of what distance means in combat apart from not being able to stab someone. We have been inspired by the brutal reality of our universe, where space is empty, lonely and hostile, and combined it with gritty sci-fi as exemplified by movies like 'Outland' and 'Prospect,'" added Plogfors.Definite props for giving us a list of tables at the front of the book though and for making a setting that has a completely understandable feel. Near the top of the column on each side is the engraved image of the face of a crew member set into a stylized triangle. It's set amid the war-ravaged Tenebris system where the mining of rare gems began a conflict that devastated the local planets. Hubs can either be a space station or a ship, and they represent the reason that player characters do the jobs they do.
Thomas Stafford quickly broke out emergency oxygen Pieces of each of those crop up repeatedly and will leave you saying “hey didn’t I just see that in…? This trend continues throughout both games; Mothership has more mechanical detail than Death in Space.

There’s a cheat sheet in the back, clear headings and thumb listings, and almost every rules concept is contained to either one sheet or one spread. These rules are a great example of how to present an evocative setting, and how to use the rules to reinforce expected gameplay. Rounds are generally about 10 seconds long, and each character can perform an action and move up to 15 meters. The layout is a clean, two-column format with occasional tables or art taking up a full page or two.

When used in combat or stressful situations, (or when a ship gets shot for maximum damage in ship combat) things have a chance to lose Condition.

There are some starting options, but this part of the game creation process is at the will of the GM. During a 15-day endurance experiment in a low-pressure altitude chamber with at least 50% oxygen atmosphere, Vostok cosmonaut trainee Bondarenko dropped an alcohol-soaked cloth onto an electric hotplate.
