THE ALPHA RELEASE

With the Alpha release of Aeronauts we are looking for players to give us feed back on our book! When you get the book you'll get a link to our Discord, and we'd love to hear what you think of it (we also have an e-mail if that's more your speed). This release contains:

• A full explanation of the mechanics

• Three page "quick rules"

• Detailed lore chapter

• Premade characters

• A pre-written scenario called “The Prize”

THE GAME

Aeronauts: Flight After Fall is a TTRPG of grand quests and small moments, of journeys from the tops of the clouds to the depths of the darkest tunnels. You and your friends tell the story of the crew of a small airship, trying to make their way in a world that is rapidly changing around you. Are you diplomatic envoys endeavoring to build connections, or are you a group of ragtag scoundrels simply trying to survive? It’s up to you.

Whatever story you tell, it's a wild ride, and you’ll need wits, luck, and teamwork to succeed.

THE WORLD

The world is covered in purple mist, the legacy of some cataclysm long past. Through the haze rose several powerful but isolated city-states, built where the mist is thin enough to live without being constantly besieged by the fog’s lurking horrors.

Now, however, airships fly above the mist, and a new era of trade–and conflict–has begun to bustle in. The city-states, previously only in contact through small trading caravans, are forced to face the new reality of different cultures, different ways of life, and the possibility of war.

THE PLAY

Aeronauts uses a 3d6 system, and emphasizes narrative role-playing, similar to games like Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark. It is also a more “pulp” game, full of adventure and a big enough world to get you into, and out of, trouble.

Players are full partners in the story-telling, from contributing details of their own choosing on Perception checks, to pulling the story in new and exciting directions with Kismet. Combat uses mechanical zone-based moving and fighting, but focuses on helping convert improvised narrative action into concrete mechanical effects.
