FSL: Fleet Signal Lost is Playable! Download the Free 4-Map Intro Campaign Now

Hello pilots!

The wait is finally over. Balancing a full-time job, family life, and indie game development is always a wild ride, but today I’m incredibly thrilled to share the very first public, playable print-and-play (PnP) build of FSL: Fleet Signal Lost.

If you love punishing space roguelikes, tactical resource management, and rolling dice, this project was designed specifically for you.

What is FSL: Fleet Signal Lost?

FSL is a crisis-management space roguelike in a Roll & Write / Print & Play format. You are the captain of a lone, damaged ship fleeing through hostile star systems. Your goal is simple yet brutal: manage your decaying systems, survive deadly combat encounters, and reach the final sector before your fleet signal is lost forever.

Every single turn is a tactical puzzle. You will roll action dice and assign them to move, navigate hazardous asteroid fields and nebulae, and fire back at relentless enemy swarms.

Core Mechanics You’ll Experience:

• Dynamic Ship Building: Your ship sheet is a tactical blueprint. You will draw and layout new compartments directly onto your grid. Want more firepower? Build a new weapon block. But remember... everything requires Energy.

• Brutal Damage Penetration: Shields aren't invincible. When an enemy strike punches through, the damage penetrates your hull in straight vectors, taking down systems, blowing up modules, and causing cascading failures.

• Sector Exploration & Encounters: Navigating through star systems isn't just about survival - it's a journey. You will spend action dice to explore unique sector objects, trigger randomized events, and complete crisis events. Will you risk entering a dangerous astroid field for a chance to recover fuel, or scavenge an old wreck while your O2 is running low? Every map is a tactical risk-vs-reward choice.

What’s Inside the First Alpha PnP Kit?

I have packaged a complete introductory experience that you can print out at home right now. It includes:

1. The Quick Rules & Turn Reference: A streamlined, autonomous guide that walks you through all 5 phases of a turn, map hazards (Asteroids & Nebulae), and combat rules.

2. The Core Ship Sheet: Your command center grid for building modules, allocating dice, and tracking hull breach points.

3. 4-Map Intro Campaign: Four unique star system maps featuring escalating difficulty curves and dynamic enemy groups.

What you need to provide: Just a printer, a pencil, and a handful of standard six-sided dice (d6).
