Deadstar is a science-fiction tabletop roleplaying game set in the Deadstar planetary system, where independent agents known as Spacers take on dangerous jobs, keep the peace, and thrive in the aftermath of interplanetary war.
Built for chance, combat, and fast-paced roleplay, Deadstar uses the S.P.A.C.E.R. gameplay system to help players create characters, shape stories, and jump into adventures across a volatile retrofuturist star system.
Whether you want to smuggle goods, solve problems, navigate political tension, or carve out your own reputation among the stars, Deadstar is designed to give players the tools to create a Spacer, inspire a narrative, and run a game.
The purpose of Deadstar is to entertain and engage. If any rule gets in the way of the story, the Star Guide is invited to modify or ignore it.
