Hey all! I’ve been working for the past year-and-a-half-ish on a TTRPG game in my spare time. I’ve finally decided to put it out there in the wild. The main reason for creating this is to flex creative and design muscles more than anything.
For a short synopsis, the game is inspired by 16-bit era video games and tries to pull off similar aesthetic choices. It’s also inspired by things like warhammer 40k, D&D, space-themed movies and TV shows.
The Pendragon Nebula is a hot-spot for weird, psionic activity. The Mad King Artur attempts to clamp down on all the inhabitants of the solar system and enforce his will upon all his subjects, but his hold has been slipping in recent decades. Baronies, Cities, and even whole planets are in rebellion.
Play as a psionic wielding psi-knight, space adventurer, or ship’s engineer, among other options!
It features heavy use of psionic powers, as well as a reasonably rich character progression system.
The entire system uses only D6’s, which was a design constraint i wanted to put on myself.
It’s completely free in a “pay what you want” fashion, and i would love to hear any thoughts and feedback, as well as your experience playing it!

I really love the art style! Especially the star map, did you use an image editor to put that together? It looks spot on vintage.
i used aseprite to make all the art; I also tended to limit my color palette to era-appropriate colors, though i moved between different color palette limitations on some parts
That makes sense, I should have guessed that. It looks great, thanks for sharing!
