Spacer! This all-new Death in Space Bundle presents .PDF ebooks for Death in Space, the rules-light tabletop science-fiction roleplaying game from Stockholm Kartell (the collective behind Mörk Borg) and Free League Publishing about grimy survival and uncertain journeys in the void of the Tenebris star system. The Gem War has bled Tenebris dry, the gems that powered interstellar travel are mined out, and the void – a strange presence at the edge of reality – seeps into everything it touches. You're a laborer, a scavenger, a cyborg, or a cultist, one of a ragtag crew on a creaky spacecraft or station. Your crew's reputation matters more than cash, and you face slim odds of surviving long enough to raise either. Patch the hull, scrounge spare parts, steal what you can't earn, and build your rep before rival crews, void cultists, and your own mutating body finish you off. Take the job. Loot the wreck. Don't stare into the void.
Funded in a big March 2021 Kickstarter campaign (3,549 backers), Death in Space combines the doom-laden artpunk angst of Mörk Borg with the run-down blue-collar squalor of Alien, The Expanse, Firefly, and Mothership. Your character gets one of six origins: Carbon, Chrome, Void, Velocity-Cursed, Punk, or Solpod, who wake every few decades to study slow cosmic phenomena. Build your crew's hub from more than 60 salvaged modules. Task resolution is a d20 roll against a target 12. Spend Void Points for an edge, or to unlock one of 20 mutations like Feedback Loop, which jumps you back ten seconds at the cost of a memory. But when you summon the void, the void summons you right back, and corruption starts.
This Death in Space Bundle gives you everything you need for a campaign of hand-to-mouth survival in a rattletrap starship in a decaying civilization in a universe collapsing into inevitable, consuming, eternal nothingness. For just US$19.95 you get all eight titles in our Death in Space Collection (retail value $80) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Death in Space Core Rules from Free League Publishing along with four third-party adventures by German designer Christian Eichhorn: the sandbox campaign CLVSTER, where you explore a haunted mining belt and fight the followers of the Marrow Goddess Yust'Nata; Derelict, which sends you to loot nine wrecks orbiting a rogue black hole; Xenophilia, a trip to three corrupted planets bathed in mutating delta radiation; and the short dungeon-crawl pamphlet adventure Tyrwal 17. And Stockholm Kartell has added three mini-scenarios from its itch.io page: Katali XI, Nunsuaq Station, and Search and Salvage. (Note: The three itch.io titles aren't available on DriveThru. Download them from your Wizard's Cabinet page here on the Bundle site.)
