Game System/Rules

This game is using a mash-up of several system toolboxes when needed and the setting is close to a serial-scratched-off version of The Expanse.

  • Core player-facing game is Classic Traveller (Facsimile Edition)
    • Books 1-3 are used primarily. We may use Snapshot for CQC and may swap ship combat systems later
  • The Expanse RPG is used for inspiration and cross-referencing some values
  • 2100 Orbital (by Zozer Games) is used for some solar-system-scale tech and number crunching
