One-Page Adventure Jam 2023!

Create a one page ready-to-play adventure about life, surviving, and living in space, on stations and starships, all across the expanse…

You are encouraged to use suggestions from the core book, and should feel free to pick one or more of the existing rules supplements to inform your story. Whether Trades of the Expanse, Ships of the Expanse, and/or Beyond the Ring. Pick wisely, your submission cannot be more than one single page.

The adventure may be written as a starship management adventure, findings jobs to pay for parts, fuel, or other resource, or it may be written as an adventure set on a spaceship, dodging the angents of, or doing work for, a dubious (or trustworthy) patron of some kind. The prerequisite is that the adventure must be about space events, hazards, encounters, where the dangers and risks of life in space plays a significant part.

Green Ronin has generously provided me with a 15% discount code for Expanse RPG products in the Green Ronin Store:
The-ExpanseRPG-Says-Thank_You_Audun!
(valid for the duration of the jam).

And! As an added surprise-bonus-treat for this year’s jam, everyone that submits a one page adventure automatically gets a chance to win a giveaway generously donated by Green Ronin of the latest Trades of the Expanse: Scout supplement. Winners will be randomly drawn at the conclusion of the jam, announced after the poll.

Also, there may be even more surprises…

One Page Adventure Jam 2023 Information

Submit your one page adventure by uploading it to the files section on the Facebook GM group.

If you are not registered on Facebook, you can submit your one page adventure as a PDF to the e-mail below.

Importantly, all submissions will be shared on the Facebook GM group. The members of the GM group determine the winner in a poll shortly after the submission deadline.

As a supplement to the one page adventure you may also submit one of the following: a colony record, planet record, system record, or starship record sheet.

You can download fillable colony, system, and planetary record sheets here. There are also starship sheets there if you need a template.

When creating your adventure, consider the following:

  • What space hazards would be interesting for the characters to face?
  • What or who is the antagonist? Is it only space itself? Any intersecting agendas?
  • What unintelligible mysteries could be found? Something from the Builders?
    A tomb and sarcophagus on a desolate and forgotten asteroid?

Keep in mind things that may affect the adventure’s atmosphere and mood, The Churn, or Stunt Point expenditure. Such as micro meteorites, radiation, solar flares, air shortage, running out of water, pirates, navy patrols, (explosive) emptiness…
