About the game

Planet Not Found is a tabletop role playing game (TTRPG) for 2 to 5 players where you play tiny explorers on a strange planet where an ancient race of giants once roamed. You must rely on your technology and seek aid from tiny critters called Micropods to survive.

As you play, improve your skills and upgrade your tech to make your explorer stronger
Explore a wild planet with strange critters and giant objects
Enlist the help of the Micropods -- different colours have different abilities -- and curate your squad to suit the situation
Gather ancient artifacts, manage your precious resources of Power and Time and keep an eye on your explorer's stability

What is a tabletop RPG?

Tabletop role playing games are games played by having a conversation. It is a form of collaborative storytelling. Often one player facilitates the game in the "game master" role and the other players have a character. Watch this video introduction by Ellino DiLorenzo as she explains it far better than I can.
