Martian Muckraker
Under a Hostile Sun is ready for players! It was debuted at GenCon, and is coming to DunDraCon and Game Market West!
The settlement’s life support is at the brink. A solution to this world’s dangerous conditions must be devised & corruption amongst the station leaders must be investigated. But the Void of Space was not meant for Man. These planets are not “Mother” like Earth – you are under a hostile sun.
- A rules-lite exploration-focused RPG. There is no combat system - rather the enemy is the brutal environment you are trying to survive in.
- Rules light but exciting system for Environmental Encounters that encourages risk vs reward decisions.
- Currency system that allows easy tracking of resources mined from the planet. Find alien creatures to produce even rarer resources - maybe even the Prime Matter- unlimited potential- itself.
- Character Sheets fit on one index card.
- Illustrated with Adobe Fresco/Photoshop.
Tabletop gaming had a landmark revolution in 1824 with the publication of Kriegsspiel. This game introduced the concept of a "Dungeon Master" (Umpire) and was written to simulate, to the greatest extent possible, the war tactics of the day. The game, nonetheless, was incredibly complicated. Various attempts of streamlining the rules of have been presented over the years and this set of Bare-Bolts Wargames are my attempt to be true to the 1824 Original whilst keeping the rules streamlined enough for play.
This game is being revised.
