The Long March

They Depend on You...

Alien creatures have invaded Earth. The war that followed has gone on longer than you can remember, and humanity is slowly losing. But hope shines at last. The hive making these terrifying creatures has been found. Destroy it, and humanity is saved. A troop of elite soldiers is dispatched, but must first trek through dark woods swarming with the creatures.

You are their scout. Move swiftly and silently ahead of the troops, and warn them of potential threats and attacks.

The Long March is a 1-page solo ttrpg where you guide a company of soldiers through woods filled with deadly creatures. A simple, luck-based game where you control the story but not the outcome.
