About the adventure
Welcome to Warpstar! Warpstar is a rules-light science fiction roleplaying game that aims to emulate the feeling of old-school British tabletop games of wondrous and fantastical adventure in the depths of space. Warpstar looks to reproduce the play style of its illustrious predecessors but in a light, quick and simple manner, with a consistent set of rules that are easily 'hackable' and adaptable as desired. The setting is the Chorus of a million worlds, a sprawling stellar empire that spreads across the galaxy. The players control characters struggling to survive in a wondrous melting pot of aliens, robots, worlds and factions. Thematically, Warpstar is a science fiction game of perilous adventure. Warpstar uses the same games engine as Warlock!, adapted for science fiction gaming.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
