Carry Out Missions in the Final Frontier!

The IndieGoGo project to fund the Starships & Spacemen Second Edition rule book is now live!

Starships & Spacemen was first released back in 1978, only the second science fiction RPG ever to be released.

This second edition of the classic game is compatible with Labyrinth Lord and Mutant Future. The best elements of the first edition have been kept--the classes and subclasses, the excellent starship rules, and the space adventuring rules. Classes, races, and abilities have been made more in line with Labyrinth Lord.

This second edition has elements that let you customize the style of play whether you prefer an "original series" feel, a "next generation" feel, or something in between.

You won't be bogged down by an over-complicated and detailed galaxy. That's one of the difficulties sometimes when trying to play in an established licensed universe. With Starships & Spacemen get just enough information to get going, and plenty of advice for designing your galaxy. Galactic space will be yours to customize.
Much like in Labyrinth Lord, in Starships & Spacemen you design your milieu. This is adventuring in space, not History 101!

Pledging at any level gives you access to the playtest draft and the playtest forums!

Wow! That cover is awesome! And compatibility with LL and MF? Double-plus goodness!

Thanks Tim! Mark did an awesome job with it. He actually did it back in 2010 but for one reason or another it's taken me a while to get to this point where the playtest draft is basically done.

For contributors, I'll be making the PDF available starting tomorrow.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the 2nd edition. The original is cool, but when you make S&S compatible with all of these other games, TOTAL WIN! Looking forward to getting in on this. Pledge made.

OH YEAH!!!

Tried to pledge but some sort of technical difficulty!? I'll try again later tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who has pledged! I'm just going to iron out a few last minute things and get the playtest posted in the morning. I'll start getting everyone's screen name permission to get into the forum. Please post here or PM me if you've pledged. Thanks! This is going to be fun!

I just got my son out of dual ACL surgery on Friday so my next available funds day to pledge will be 25 June...I am a contractor and I am on a monthly schedule

Are we going to get a softcover version too once it's out?
