STARSPANNER PLAYBOOK [PDF]

This is the Playbook: you make your own character this time. You can build your own mission-class space ship, the kind you take on a job. Sometimes it’ll go well, most times it won’t. That’s the adventure part of ‘adventure.’ The book isn’t pretty, not yet at least. I shoved it out anyway.

What’s in it:

• 100th Edition core book, 433 pages, PDF.
• Full character creation: five species, eight careers.
• Mission-class ship construction.
• Personal combat and ship combat on the Phlogiston Game Engine.
• Drive. Character advancement. Skills. Items.

The QuickStart is free.

STARSPANNER PLAYBOOK

100th Edition.

Dear friend,

The QuickStart was 100% free. This one is not. This is the Playbook, the rest of the machinery that booklet pointed at and then left in another room.

Here is what you are actually holding. You make your own character this time, not one of the eight lunatics I already named for you. You build a mission-class ship, the kind you take on a job. You keep playing in the Dueling Disks. Leveling, the full items and skills. Four hundred and thirty-three pages of that.

Now the part where I am honest, because I would rather you heard it from me: it is not pretty. I shoved it out anyway. This is not a museum piece. The Master’s Manual is extra for the GM. You do not need it to play. You need this, some friends, and a GameMaster. Forgive the unfinished look. There is a campaign under it.

I have talked too much and you have not rolled anything yet. Buy the book. Or don’t, just keep doing nothing…
