Mars Colony 1: "Arrival"

“What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!” ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C. Koppang and is designed for two players. One takes on the role of the colony’s appointed “savior”—named Kelly Perkins—while the other plays the Governor, responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior faces a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. The show Mars Colony is a fully produced actual play podcast following tech billionaire Kelly Perkins as he is summoned to Mars in an effort to save the failing colony. The series explores how the unyielding demands of capitalism combined with the narcissism of silicon valley put humanity on a path to the red planet long before we were ready. GET THE GAME!
