Rusted Orbit

A booklet of star sailors. RUSTED ORBIT is a tabletop role-playing game in a retro space-age. It's easy to die and hard to live. Ships are constantly falling apart, and stations to stop at are few and far between.

During a game, one player guides the rest, who are the crew of a ship dealing with mundane dangers of astral-fare. Robbers and killers, the vacuum itself. You play to survive—to prove you can, or because someone else won't let you die.

The game doesn't care about balance, and there may be gaps between the game's assumptions and how you play. You can fill those gaps.
