Free League Launches Death In Space
Earlier this month Free League revealed DEATH IN SPACE, a brand-new tabletop RPG designed by the team at Stockholm Kartell. Sometimes these new products can take over a year from announcement to shelf, but this one wrapped itself up pretty quick: it’s available starting today.
Death In Space is a sci-fi adventure that takes place in a universe without an Earth — because it was destroyed. Only you and the crew of your ship survived (as far as you know), and your goal is to find a home somewhere else. But where? Space is big, they say. The bad news is, with the collapse of Earth went the frontier system that supported all the colonies across the galaxy. However, this DOES mean that stuff is free for the taking. Gather materials to improve your ship and aid your chances of survival.
Here’s the wild part: if you can’t think of a character, the game will make one for you. An automatic character generator for the game called DEATH-BBS can be used to assign you a random role with the push of a button. No excuses now!
● Light-weight rules, intended to be easy to use and quick to learn
● A system for quickly generating player characters & their spacecraft or space-station
● 60+ different modules to make the spacecraft or space-station your own
● An introduction to the Tenebris system, its main locations and history
● A system for repairs, where you collect spare parts to repair your stuff
