Wayward Suns

Wayward Suns is a sci-fi TTRPG about your plucky crew of Spacers—misfits, vagabonds, and ne'er-do wells roaming the stars—and how they changed the galaxy, or died trying.

Some few hundred years after the Shattering, a galactic conflict that razed worlds and sent civilization reeling centuries backwards, the galaxy is beginning to start its forward march once again. As long-isolated pockets of the galaxy become reconnected, a veritable gold-rush has begun around the edges of the ALR network. You and your crew are at the forefront of this rush, looking for money, truth, long-lost knowledge, or refuge from whatever lurks behind you.

Wayward Suns is inspired by wide swaths of the science-fiction genre, from space operas to science fantasy. Tough-as-nails veterans mix ranks with mutants, exotic and inhuman aliens, and esoteric wielders of space-warping psychic powers. Normalcy is for core-folks, after all.

Wayward Suns offers deep, classless character building where players build unique skillsets from a massive variety of skills, traits, and character complications. With 14 playable species and a wealth of character options, it's almost difficult to make two characters feel the same.

Future updates will include:

• Ground and space vehicle combat
• Rules for founding your own outposts and Colonies
• More art!
• Filling out all those "FLUFF" boxes where flavor text goes
• A GM guide
• Periodic lore updates and releases

While in early development, Wayward Suns is completely free! Donations allow us to fund more fancy artwork for the book and are greatly appreciated.
