One Page Derelict Jam 2024

Welcome to the third One Page Derelict jam! The venerable One Page Dungeon Contest spread the idea of a self-contained dungeon adventure in only one page. Let's bring this concept to space!

Only one page adventures qualify. Do not submit mini-games, solo games or anything that has rules of its own. This is meant to have many rules-agnostic adventures to play with any set of rules of choice.
