SOLARCRAWL: old school exploration in a fantastic Space Age

Launching on Kickstarter in February

SOLARCRAWL: old school exploration in a fantastic Space Age
This is a community submitted press release.

The land has become arid, the seas have dried up, the very air grows thin.

Your homeworld is dying.

The only hope for your people lies in knowledge gained from beyond the horizon.

In Solarcrawl, astronauts venture forth from their home in early rockets, and then increasingly sophisticated spacecraft in search of new materials, inspiration, and greater understanding of their solar system. The knowledge they gain will regreen their world, if they survive to bring it back from the void. 

Four backgrounds for Solarcrawl: Exoscientist, Pathfinder, Spacewalker and Orbital Tech

Solarcrawl is a campaign frame for ideally 3-5 players, built to be compatible with a wide variety of systems, including D&D and much of the OSR. The book contains backgrounds, rules for interplanetary travel and homeworld improvements that can be easily meshed to a group's favorite rule set.

Contains at least nine planetary destinations, each a self-contained hexcrawl on a planet, moon, asteroid, comet, orbital structure or even stranger celestial object.

Example planetary hexmap

An entire bestiary of strange aliens, precursor machines, and other entities for the astronauts to encounter.

Discoveries to be found in Solarcrawl: strange minerals, lifeforms and incredible vistas

All lavishly illustrated in linework or hand painted watercolors.

The print version of Solarcrawl will come in at 100 page (or more, depending on stretch goals being met) hardback. A PDF will also be available.
