#scifi ttrpg

"Up is Out" is now in drivethrurpg !!

Up is Out is a co-op solo role playing game of exploration, resource management, map making, journaling, asymmetrical roles, and lore creation, that uses books you already own as sources to spark your imagination.

If anyone plays it, I'd love to hear your thoughts and know if you had fun with it :)

Any tabletop mutuals know a good scifi system? Preferably something not like, massively rules heavy. Reasoning for that being I'm going to be running a hacked together Battletech campaign sometime in the future using Total Warfare rules for the mech side and some TTRPG system for the people side of things. Looking for a system to like, make characters in so they can be played outside of the Mech sorties. I know about stuff like FATE and worse, GURPS, which can be applied to anything. But GURPS has too much stuff in it and FATE might have too little. FATE is a good fallback but I figured I'd test the waters and see if anyone knows a good system to like, make scifi human characters in.

(preferably without things like magic of any sort. Including psychic powers, biotics, or even super powered cybernetics)

Note: I haven't looked at any of the BT TTRPGs, but the point of this is that I specifically want the BT Total Warfare ruleset, at least some of it. I'm not afraid of putting in the work to hack stuff together. Just need a jumping off point.

a project by me, Fragile (they/it)

in the far future of earth, we face a threat unlike anything before. metal warps and flesh rots, humans regress to violent beasts, and the cybernetics we once thought a blessing become a curse.

who can you trust, when anyone could be a human, beast, or machine?

and how can you survive, when you're always one step away from losing yourself?

this is RETROGRADE

hey does anyone know if there are any sci-fi ttrpgs that are based SPECIFICALLY around the exploration of a single planet?

I know there are definetely space-faring ttrpgs, but i want one with a focus on a single extraterrestrial planet?

Programming update

[stonegearstudios]

I'm terrible at the social media stuff, but in an attempt to get better at finishing things, I've started working on micro suppliments In this case, a minor antagonist and precipitating event for a space game.

Written broad so it could work in anything from Traveller to Starfinder My terrible layout job is done, just waiting for a little bit of art to spice it up, though the odds of me ever making the cost back is basically zero

Posters I made to celebrate the end of Night Sky, a 2 year long sci-fi ttrpg game I feel so blessed to be a part of <3

Temple of wires and veins🩸🏛️📺

Lil gift piece to @leidensygdom of their warforged/aasimar character Argyros!! Kinda an experimental piece cause I thought it would be fun to make the divine robot a marble statue in a temple? idk I had a vision and just had fun with it haha

[sakura-phoenix]

this is perhaps the most fun system I’ve ever played fyi

me and the space viking dad I play are loving the battle mechanics and ease of combat with all of the intensity of 25ft mechs dunking on each other in populated areas

if you’re big into this vibe it’s soooooo worth your time

Haven't done this before, so I'm throwing it into this space because it seems likely to be responsive.

You like Lancer's blend of combat mechs and narrative gameplay? Me too. What if it was less D&D4e and instead had a new buildcraft/combat system built only on d20s and d4s?

HALCYON is a mech RPG I've been building and testing for a while. I'll freely admit it has a lot of Lancer in its concepts, because my intent was to take those feelings of strategy, freedom, and power and streamline them into something that can be picked up and played by beginners or experienced RPGers with equal ease. The hex grid combat system allows for wild synergies and creative problem-solving with just enough structure to make resolution easy, while the Pilot-only sections are grounded and driven almost entirely by roleplay.

I'm thinking about trying to take this more public, but I'm looking for testers outside of my immediate circle. If any GMs out here would like to give it a shot or just check out the rules doc, shoot me a comment or DM and I'll send it over.

(photo is a sample of some incredible art/weapons cards being done by @birdofthenight. The finished product will have a lot more and maybe even some original music)
