Farò la voce fuori dal coro! (e considerazioni completamente inutili!)

Premettendo che non stai sbagliando nulla (rivedere il materiale di spunto o anche di nuovo è sempre buona cosa), potresti trovarti in difficoltà nel trasmettere il tipo di esperienza a causa del differente media (trilogia di libri vs gioco).

Per quanto possono sembrare simili in questo caso, un gioco avrà sempre dinamiche e struttura diversi da un libro (anche solo dal numero di persone coinvolte). 

Non conoscendo la trilogia o il gioco potrebbe benissimo non essere questo il caso!

Se ti accorgi di essere in questa posizione: non c'è nulla di male.
Sbagliare (trovandoti nell'impossibilità di riprodurre l'esperienza sperata) è il modo migliore e più rapido per migliorare.

Inoltre non è detto che dove sei arrivata, sia qualcosa da buttare, magari hai ottenuto qualcosa di diverso ma egualmente divertente o profondo!

Fine commento inutile, buon lavoro gufo! ;-)

Very true, still i would have prefer to translate it before the submission! (although it might be even worse with my awful english :-D ) 

For the draft i've just delivered today it's hard to say what inspired me, i've worked on it a couple of weeks ago, for some hours, just gathering some ideas i came up after chatting with the Owl (that pestered me enough to write it :-D ...i don't know if this might count as inspiration :-P) .

So, this is more like a postmortem inspiration review.

In the draft i got inspired by some mechanics from Noirlandia, the idea that you can give a meaning to each seed and then to each card it's a very nice idea that i've tried to reproduce here. I've also tried to have some kind of controlled alea, instead of make it disappear.

For the thematics i sure got inspired by some of the iconic scifi movies, for example Alien, Gravity and Sunshine(trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veC25b8Vd2E).
Also by a multitable adventure some friends organized with Alien RPG (Fria Ligan), which i had the chance to play .

Finally, some music to get partially in the right mood; to try to imagine yourself, alone, in this dark void, surrounded by majestic astrophisical entities: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLudkhjWHjTE95LWYZGDPMQ

I hope those references can be of inspiration also for you


Cheers

Here is mine! Sadly i didn't had time to translate it in english, i had a draft ready a week ago, but i really didn't had any spare moment to read it again and clear some stuff.

I had a chance yesterday  to have a look and here it is.. a slightly better draft in italian! 

About the game, it's a masterless game against a (not tested :-P) card engine for 4 players. You just need paper, pencils and french playing cards.

It is set in a space station (it works well with also a spaceship), the characters woke up from alerting systems, several failures are happening in your actual home. In the middle of nowhere, nobody else can help you, nobody can be contacted to save you.

While struggling to save yourself you think about the important moments that lead you here, including also some secrets that it might be the right moment to reveal.

PS: i'm still not sure that it's fulfilling properly the Jam rules
