Durance is a collaborative storytelling game by Jason Morningstar. 

On a remote planet far from civilization, the worst criminal scum from a dozen star systems have been dumped, charged with building new lives under the watchful eye of Authority. Within a brutal hierarchy of savagery and servility, convicts and guards alike must make hard choices. Every colonist has their own code of conduct and their own aspirations—aspirations that invariably come at the expense of others. This dangerous new world is too small for everyone to succeed. In fact, it may well be too small for anyone to
succeed. Only the shrewdest, the toughest and the luckiest will get a chance to find out. Will you be among them?

Everybody plays two characters: one on the side of the authority, one convict. There is no GM in this game but I will additionally serve as a facilitator to make things smoother. Scene resolution is based on a so-called Uncertainty Triangle with which only the thematic angle of the end of the scene is determined. It also provides a nicely interwoven random tables mechanic.
