What it is about

Cold Carrion is a solo pen-and-paper dungeon crawl where you scavenge what you can from war-torn spaceship hulls. This game has: Pre-designed abandoned ship hulls for you to land on and explore. Tactical grid-based combat played on an 8x8 grid, with 3 combatants on each team. Drones you take into combat. You choose which two drones to take from a list with different abilities. Your own ship, The Albion, where you can repair your drones and create med-kit charges mid-exploration. A long list of compartment types you might come across in each ship. Three types of enemies, each with their own set of behaviours in combat: the swarm, security bots, and pirates. A simple progression system that gives you access to new drones, and lets you upgrade your ship. There are 6 pages of rules and 7 pages of look-up tables for drones you can take into combat, consumables, equipment, weapons, ship layouts, compartment contents, enemy types, and combat layouts.
