SSBN

The Royal Navy has maintained a continuous at sea deterrence patrol since 1969. Carrying the nation's nuclear arsenal the small fleet of nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines - SSBNs - have hidden within the depths of the Atlantic with a singular purpose - to deter hostile nations from launching an attack on the UK with the threat of a devastating retaliatory nuclear strike.

SSSBN - A Cold War solo RPG places you in command of a missile submarine as it takes to the waters during the height of the decades long conflict. Adapting the Wretched & Alone engine you will be tasked with protecting your crew and country while facing the knowledge that each day could be your last and that you may be called upon to launch your apocalyptic arsenal. The game is designed to bring players face to face with the choices and morals of a highly contentious topic that has divided opinion for decades.

Ashcan 1: Sea Trials contains a first draft of the core game. It is rough and unedited. Updates will refine the mechanics, add new subsystems and incorporate historical context drawn from published research and literature.
