This is definitely relevant to this group. I’m a big fan of the original Space Aces rpg zine. This new box set for dungeon delving focused (or derelict ship diving) gameplay looks pretty great. It’s got a baked in solo mode it appears and looks like it could be a great solo box boardgame/rpg hybrid. If you back in the next 46 hours, you get a free copy of ‘The Landing Party’, a Love Letter type game with a Star Trek theme. Looks pretty cool.
Thanks to all who helped provide feedbacks and playtesting of this. I’m stoked to finally have the Kickstarter live and half funded already!
In Space Aces: Wreck Runners, players will take on the roles of insufferable social media influencers and explore the dangerous depths of drifting derelict spaceships for likes, subscribes, and Space Cred.
The box set features:
A 45 page zine loaded with tables, tools, and advice
42 modular starship geomorph tiles to build an infinite of ships
5 custom meeples, including a space corgi
80 double sided tokens
GM Screen & GM Tools
20 hot pink d6 dice
5 bingo cards to incentivize shenanigans
And lots more
At it’s heart it is easy-to-build and simple-to-run dungeon diving in space game with an overloaded encounter die. It has a push your luck resolution roll and a die stacking doom clock/timer.
I tried to combine what i love about beer-and-pretzel RPGs with the best tactile elements of board games to make a dungeon diving game that is a great experience for everybody.
Aww thanks so much. Let’s just say, none of this would have been possible without the encouragement from Daniel and the Dungeon Dive community in general.
I really want to do a Starwreck jam once this gets released, and put together a free zine expansion full of community-made derelict space dungeons using the tools in the book!
