Drift in the Black: A Solo RPG
Drift in the Black
A Solo Science Fiction RPG of Exploration, Survival, and Discovery
by Jonathan Vex
Drift beyond the edge of known space and into a universe that refuses to stay still.
Drift in the Black is a complete solo tabletop roleplaying game designed for players who want total freedom, deep immersion, and a constantly evolving science fiction experience. There is no game master. There is no script. There is only you, your ship, and the unknown.
Using a dynamic d20-based system powered by entropy, interpretation, and layered random tables, you will explore derelict ships, chart unstable worlds, navigate dangerous space travel, and uncover strange phenomena that defy explanation. Every decision matters. Every action creates consequences. And nothing stays predictable for long.
This book includes everything you need to play:
- A complete solo RPG system built for long-term campaigns
- Character creation with unique races, classes, and subclasses
- Ship generation and exploration mechanics
- Planet, creature, enemy, and encounter tables
- Travel threats, emergencies, and crew conflict systems
- Psychological and environmental mechanics that evolve over time
- A full example campaign and guided session structure
- Dozens of d20 and d100 tables for endless replayability
Whether you want to tell a story of survival, discovery, mystery, or isolation, the system adapts to your style. No two sessions will ever be the same. The universe builds itself around your choices, your interpretations, and your willingness to keep going deeper.
This is not a linear game.
This is not a fixed narrative.
This is a system that grows, shifts, and expands the more you play.
Step into the void.
Chart your own path.
And see what waits for you in the dark between the stars.
Discover. Explore. Survive.
