A Complicated Profession
A Complicated Profession is an ENNIE-nominated¸ light-hearted sci-fi TTRPG for 3 to 5 players. It's a one-shot that usually lasts a few sessions. Play to reunite a disbanded crew of bounty hunters¸ jaded sidekicks¸ shabby droids and shady accomplices. Then pick a hosting role and start a new life together.
Instead of having a traditional GM¸ everyone plays as their own crew member (or sometimes a passenger!)¸ taking turns to choose events and be the lead Player.
Everyone starts with two player sheets - their old hunter role and their new host role. Players gradually leave behind their past life as they play¸ giving up their old name¸ possessions and skills.
Every game is unique due to:
- a choice of 8 hunter roles and 8 host roles (64 combinations!)
- a menu of 9 themed event playbooks¸ playable in any order
- player-created ship assets your team are rewarded for using
- randomly generated contracts and passengers
