A downloadable Rule Set

Download NowName your own price

Sea of Stars is a minimalist, rules-light tabletop roleplaying game about exploring space, distant planets and worlds beyond the depths of darkness.

One person takes on the role of Game Master and the rest of the players form a crew of space explorers and adventurers with a newly acquired ship destined for the far reaches of space.

This book explains everything needed to create a character, the general rules of play and ends with a list of mission hooks to ignite the imagination of the GM and their players.

The ruleset has been created to be easily adaptable to other settings and styles and is unashamedly simplistic.

Everything has been stripped back to its essentials and designed to promote dynamic imaginative play from everyone at the table.

Anything not found here can be adapted from adventures, settings and source materials. Fill in the spaces together and create the worlds you wish to play in.

Yessssss, this is everything I was looking for! I love a game that manages to feel like I could run an entire campaign in so few pages, and I'd not found a sci-fi game for that yet. Really excited to run this and get my players to explore an entire universe!

Amazing! I wanted to put together something that had enough flex for GM’s to make their own, and then go on explore the universes that they wanted to create. 
I’d love to know how you get on with it with a campaign. Thanks for the kind words. 

Looking forward to trying this out! Any chance you could export a version with individual pages so I could print it in zine format?

I’ll have a look and see what I can do!
I’m putting together some printed versions myself at the moment which will be available on my website soon.
I’ll keep you posted!
I’d love to know what you think of the rules and how you found running them. If you have any feedback, let me know. 
Thanks, Arthur
