About the adventure
A static-laden message comes over the comms; A planet's sun is about to collapse and their plea for any local ships with a carrying capacity promises a HUGE payday. A quick look at your fuel gauge-- almost empty-- but you've flown on less. What could possibly go wrong? Play as bounty hunters, galactic explorers, or daring space marines in a universe inspired by the likes of Star Wars, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Expanse, and Doom! Dark Matter is for any player who wants a little more sci-fi in their 5E game, whether they just want to dabble with lasers or blast off in a star ship and explore strange, alien worlds.
