We get a little bleak this Friday with the very aptly titled Colony Ship: a Post-Earth Role Playing Game. With the game being exactly what the title sounds like, you assume the role of a person who was born too early to see the fruits of a sub-light speed colonization/exodus mission to Proxima Centauri but also born too late to understand why you had to leave Earth. Nope, instead you were born into your own personal version of hell via a decommissioned transport ship has already been torn apart by civil war. In this CRPG, you were born into the shit, you will live in the shit, and when it's all over shit may be even worse when you die in the shit. The ideals that blasted people into the stars are long forgotten by most of the people on this generational seed ship. And what's worse? Apparently there's already civilization forming and waiting at Proxima Centauri -- which is still hundreds of years away.

There are NUMEROUS really good sci-fi novels that delve into the ideas that are brought up in this game, but instead of slogging through the character creation process (it's good, don't get me wrong) I instead wanted to take this time to trim the fat and get into the game itself. Colony Ship just entered early access, so at this time only Chapter 1 is available. But you can create your character and see how far you can survive, and maybe even thrive, in the Pit.
