Classic sci-fi just got a whole lot pulpier . . .

Whether the future’s just around the corner, or a thousand grimdark millennia from now, in a setting close to Earth or a star-system far, far away, Space Pulp is the sci-fi RPG you’ve been waiting for! A rules-lite approach, coupled with the innovative career mechanic from Barbarians of Lemuria makes filing the numbers off a familiar space setting—or creating your own—quick and easy.

Note:  You need the Everywhen core rules to use this book. 

Inside Space Pulp, you'll find:  

  • A promotion system for character creation, with random, career-specific events that transform chargen into a solo mini-game!
  • 9 non-human character origins, including AI, aliens, mutants, uplifted animals, robots, and synthetics.
  • 24 distinct character careers, from assassin to worker, with affiliated tech level.
  • 91 new boons and flaws, including those specific to cyberware, aliens, and machine intelligence.
  • 124 items of equipment, covering weapons (and alien versions), plasma swords, powered armor, ‘Golden Age’ retro gear, drugs, and more!
  • Streamlined rules for ship combat, ship-specific boons and flaws, Hero Point options, and a separate, tactical system for handling fleet engagements.
  • Streamlined rules for vehicle combat, robots (including giant ones!) and mecha.
  • A complete aliens chapter, with templates for creating otherworldly creatures, a d6,6 encounter table, and 11 detailed alien races.
  • A complete planetary chapter, with a d6,6 table for generating homeworlds and 7 detailed planet descriptions.
  • A complete psionics chapter, with 35 detailed psychic effects as well as 2 ‘space magic’ systems, the reality-altering Chatterjee Equations and the dark sorcery of Azm’s Last Theorem.
  • Special rules for handling light sword duels, fast-drawing guns, gravity and environmental extremes, hacking, crafting, and more!
  • A settings chapter, with guidelines for running different sub-genres of sci-fi (horror, cyberpunk, grimdark, etc.), and three detailed settings:  Dirty Plastic, Hypergiant, and Never-Setting Suns.
  • A complete adventure, Bust-Up on Bug Planet, ready to run with new players.

The ultimate sci-fi sandbox awaits!

Hello. This is a very nice system that you and your team? have created. However, I struggle to find some flaws mentioned in the rule book. Such as the "Stressed flaw" and. I'm sorry if it should be obvious but I don't see it. If you could please point it out, I would very grateful.

Stressed is from the Everywhen corebook, pg. 21. It's basically PTSD; you take a penalty die on any Appeal related rolls.

New to this system, could the Manimals supplement work directly with this?

Description says you need the "Everywhen" core rules for this, which is a 2d6 system, with fair amount of high reviews.

Also, to the dev. This sounds great!

It's 2d6 + Mod. Everywhen got optional Rules for 2d10, 2d12 and 3d6.
Easy, intuitive and fun.

According to the Introduction (as seen in the preview), this is a Barbarians of Lemuria derivative.

2d6, but it's not a Traveller clone.

It uses the Everywhen system, which is based on Barbarians of Lemuria. The basic resolution mechanic is to roll 2d6, add/subtract modifiers, and try to match or beat a target number of 9. Occasionally you'll get a bonus die, which allows you to roll 3d6 and drop the lowest result, or a penalty die, for which you roll 3d6 and drop the highest result.

It's the same system used in Barbarians of Lemuria. It's 2d6.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
