Exostellar Zero Edition

We took to the stars in the year 1979.

We have no artificial gravity. No bio-scanners. No transporters. No energy shields. No FTL drives.

Androids are uncanny. Computers take up entire rooms. Our technology is chunky. But it is dependable.

WELCOME TO

a lo-fi sci-fi horror RPG of retrofuturistic adventures in space.

Create a Flight Officer, Engineer, Android, or Scientist and explore the dark corners of the universe!

The SPACE system provides a narratively flexible but mathematically grounded foundation to power your adventures

➤ The adverb-based approach system makes it simple to think of complications for your actions
➤ The hit-miss-risk core resolution framework provides an interesting choice for every action
➤ Hazard, countdown, and obstacle dice pools are easy-to-use tools to add tension to your game

Exostellar Zero Edition is the early "ashcan" version of the system for playtesting so feel completely free to grab the rules for free. If you want to support development by buying a copy, we appreciate it greatly! Eventually these systems will be expanded upon and we have plans to add more in-depth narrative and crunchy mechanical bits to add to the system.
