Can you find A Perfect Rock?

Make planets from rocks & explore the stars
Which planet will be your new home?
This is a community submitted press release.

Your home planet was destroyed.

You are aboard the last starship with the sole survivors of your people, and you must find a perfect rock: a new planet to call home.

A Perfect Rock is a tabletop roleplaying game about finding a new planet to call home.

Gameplay is a unique blend of adventure and world-building. You will navigate a sprawling star map, uncover secrets in the stars, and build planets from rocks (🪨 real rocks!) you've collected. And on your journey, you will explore your starship and remember the home you left behind.

A Perfect Rock is about exploration and adventure, but also about discovering your home.

It pulls thematic inspiration from InterstellarThe ExpanseOuter Wilds, and Subnautica.

Gameplay inspiration comes from i'm sorry, did you say street magic, In This World, and tons of awesome point-crawl adventures.

Will your next home be here? Looks safe enough.
