PROJECT GOTTHARDScience fiction / Command / Management01 — Programme overview
The commander's perspective
Command, don't micromanage.
A programme to run. People to bring home.
Decisions that reach beyond the next mission.
Look beyond the mission.
Personnel, research and security are part of the same responsibility. Every expedition belongs to a larger effort.
Decide with an incomplete picture.
Reports arrive. Situations develop. Choose a response knowing that certainty may come too late.
The intended experience. Individual systems and their development status will be documented in the journal.
An alternate October 1994
A world behind
the mountain.
Deep in the Alps, a classified European programme stands at the edge of an extraordinary discovery. The world outside is familiar. What lies ahead is not.
Project Gotthard is an independent science-fiction command and management game about the people, preparation and difficult choices behind exploration.
