Ships That Pass
A game for two players about queer spaceships with crushes on each other, the biological allies they make along the way, and the Powers That Be threatening to separate them all.
Players design their spaceships and then roleplay scenes between ships, between ship and pilot, and -- if their anomalies are detected -- between pilots and agents of The MAN (Monitors of Artificial Norms), a privatized organization that deals with aberrant tech.
This game is designed to help you tell stories of queer connection, resistance, allyship, and hope, in the face of capitalist pressure to conform.

heck yeah! i have long been fascinated by the idea of AI spaceships being romantically involved esp. in queer ways, nice to see somebody else on the same wavelength
Thank you! Happy flying!
My first experience playing a trpg with two players, plus I played it with my human crush! Seems like it should be obvious but roleplaying with one other person is such a different experience, it was jarring for me at first but we continued to play, built a great dynamic and had a lovely time together. It was their first time playing a trpg and now they're excited to try more. Thanks so much.
what a wonderful story, thank you so much for sharing it here! I'm delighted that you and your crush had such a positive experience.
This is a really wonderful game! The premise immediately hooked me and it's a lovely way to spend a few hours with a friend. We both discovered that we really love playing ship AIs, and we crafted a really sweet romance together that I'll be thinking about for a long time. Due to many lucky dice rolls we didn't really get to the part about resisting the MAN, but this is for sure a game that I would like to revisit in the future!
I'm delighted to hear of your ships' excellent fortune, thank you so much for the comment!
