Alone Among the Stars
A downloadable game
This game was primarily inspired by Alien(s) and Dark Star, with playbooks including a Cat and a Child, and a move demanding you roll dice when you get way too bored floating around in the vastness of space.
Spanning hard scifi to cosmic horror to an Alien/Predator story, the sample monster blocks include eldritch beings and eldritch minions, and I took great pains to come up with a list of 100 madnesses! Using a simple PBTA-like dice system, players roll 2d6s and add the relevant stat, and each of the four stats are tied to two opposite moves. As an experimental system, feedback is welcome!
The Player's Edition includes just the playbooks and basic moves.

UPDATE: After reviewing the dice system, some tweaks have been made to change stats from dice pools (2d6 to 5d6) to modifiers (+3 to -3). The previous version of the same is still available for download, but I think the update is more in line with the original design intent.
