Space Scavenger V0.3
A downloadable game
Space Scavenger is a roll-and-write solitaire game where you become the captain of the galaxy’s lowest budget spaceship, flying through the junk-filled space of What-Used-To-Be-Sol, building up your ship and collecting valuable scrap, as you fight for survival against dangerous debris and radiation. If you make it through out alive, maybe you’ll have enough credits to take a week off. If you don’t, well, at least those idiots at the Space Bureau have to fill out some paperwork, so that’s kind of a win!
In order to play, you’ll need the PDF available here, the rules from Google Docs, (Listed below) a pencil and eraser, and at least six six-sided dice.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active.
I really appreciate your hard work and kindness
You're welcome!
I got into pen and paper games back when it was just miles of people putting their weird little games our for anyone to play, it definitely feels like the most natural way to do for me.
Great game concept! I discovered first Tower of Mages, then Hall of the Dwarven King, and finally this one. The format seems reskinable/hackable in many ways!
On a side note, this game reminds me the tabletop (non-roleplay) game Galaxy Trucker, featuring modular ships, balance between cargo, defenses, crew and engines, and also epic fails with shattering ships and nasty encounters.
Galaxy Trucker was definitely an inspiration for this one.
I lost my drone bays so I can't construct anything, be that drone bays or anything else. A vicious cycle, damn.
You've gotta protect your drone bays, how early in the game did this happen?
uh i think i understood what i missed i should have discarded a die and roll again the last one. Is it that ? But in the case i have only one drone bay lasting and get a 6, what happening ?
If you ever find yourself without drones, rush home!
I understand you can discard a die to reroll the remaining dice any number of times, preventing the discarded die's drone to be destroyed. If you happen to have only one drone, you can discard it to reroll the remaining zero dice.
in another situation, you could have a really bad roll and destroy your last drone as a result of exploring. That is all on you. You should've known better to protect your drones before exploring.
This seems sensible.
I tuned the punishment for failure way up on this one.
