Sad Robot

Sad Robot is a shortform, collaborative tabletop roleplaying game for 2-4 players about the human diaspora. 

Each player is a robot sent to observe, record and report on the fortunes and misfortunes of a single colony, out among the stars, in the human diaspora. Each turn, you narrate an automated missive from that robot to its colleagues.

You'll need several six-sided dice and a regular deck of playing cards, with the jokers removed. You'll also need a few hours to play all the way through.

Sad Robot is the second of a series of shortform story games written by Marcus Shepherd of Blue Golem Games. It's complete, but feedback and reviews are invaluable for any future development.
