Voidrunner Introducing the Voidrunner’s Codex!

The Voidrunner’s Codex is coming this year. It’s a set of three sci-fi rulebooks for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition: the Voidrunner’s Codex itself, the Star Captain’s Manual, and an adventure called Escape from Death Planet. Over the coming weeks we’ll be talking a lot about these books, but in the meantime, here’s a glimpse at an early draft of the introduction chapter of the Voidrunner’s Codex.

I guess this reduces Nature down to Biology?

More like Life Science. Biology is just one branch of Life Science.

Science: According to my readings the weird space slug is emitting subspace noise, blocking our communications with Starfleet!

Engineering: I'll build a dampener!

Science: Good idea. Wait -- these readings are very regular. Can you mo--

Engineering --odulate the frequency and find out what it's saying! (high five)

Communications: i am going to have to talk to the space slug, aren't I....

Communications: ...The space slug name is Abbot, and has a friend named Costello. They find it easiear to communicate with us with these strange smoky symbols... Now I have a deja-vu

I've been ready for Voidrunner since it was mentioned, but as a devoted West End Games Shatterzone fan, my heart leaped at the mention of The Fleet - IYKYK.

Nature, according to the AG, also includes specialties we would consider Earth Science and astronomy.

Space Opera, and no mention of The LEnsman series, which basically invented true Space Opera? Say it isn't so!...

I think Purple Martin Games' Wielder class could be used to create a Lensman. The Lens could be treated as a bonded artifact (Font of Power).

That would probably work nicely.

It looks really good. But When I do Science Fiction, I really love lifepath style charcter generation. 45 years of Traveller may have given me some habits.

Well, we also make a sci-fi core rulebook for What's OLD is NEW (WOIN) -- which features life path character generation! Fill your boots!
