A colourful hard sci-fi RPG. 

Global release in October 2024 following our Kickstarter!

Void Above is a standalone hard sci-fi RPG about a crew of Spacers (players) who take and complete Contracts: complex jobs that require teamwork and clever thinking. 

Made by Murkdice: creators of Top 10 PocketQuest and Silver Bestseller Sci-fi RPG Restruct, one-page dark fantasy RPG Mud & Blood and it's scenario pack Written in Blood, and Rotten Hags.

From scavenging to space station repairs, to business negotiations and sleuthing in nightclubs. It’s all set in a hard sci-fi backdrop:

• No faster than light space travel
• No artificial gravity
• Resources, like oxygen, matter
• Technology can’t solve everything

Void Above is about problem solving. 

You deal with tense situations with your head, not with a gun.

This is supported by a focused gaming system that gives Hosts (GMs) all the tools they need to run short and long term games. 

It’s accessible by design, Hosts without experience of running RPGs before will find the support they need.

System Features:

• Skill focused, d6 roll under system with partial successes.

• Flexible Injury and Stress systems where Hosts and Spacers work together to move the story forward in the most tense situations.

• A Gear system that rewards players for picking the right tool, and features breaking and mending. 

• An escalation chart to help Hosts make situations more complicated.

• And more in the full game: character creation and advancement, customisable spaceships and travel rules, zero-gravity guidance, expanded Gear, the Pressure Die mechanic for tense situation, extended Host guidance, Scenario Toolkits for Hosts and more.

This Quickstart Set comes with:

• 4 pre-generated characters.

• The rules you need to play a session or two.

• A pre-written scenario for the Host (GM), including handouts, to run for a group of Spacers (players).
