And check out the limited edition covers and comic!

WayStar is designed to do three things:

 

1)    To use familiar rules so you can hit the ground running with minimal effort.

2)    To create a fast-paced, immersive, action-packed experience.

3)    To accommodate campaigns that feel like your favorite science fiction media.

 

Then build a military corvette with a ragtag crew, and set your campaign in and around the Axial Systems.

 

Then build a retrofitted scavenger ship with a mercenary crew, and set your campaign in the Periphery.

 

Or for a campaign of truly epic proportions, do all of the above!

Unlike other Kickstarters, this project includes everything you need to run a truly epic science fiction campaign straight out the gate, including 4 books and a fine selection of gaming accessories.

 

The books include familiar core rules, new cosmic horrors, immersive galactic settings, and an action-packed heist adventure.

 

And that’s before we get to the star maps, battle map packs, card decks, dice sets, faction pins, minis...oh...and the space monkey plushie!

 

With many more adventures and other source material planned for the coming years, WayStar will provide many a galactic adventure at your table!

 

The WayStar Core Rulebook covers everything players and GMs need to play and run the game, including flexible character creation tools with new classes and species, and rules for combat, ship creation, space combat, space travel, gear, cybernetics, robotics…and so much more than we can possibly list here.

Ion canons. Evil droids. Laser swords. Jump gates. Destroyer ships.

WayStar puts the key to many flavors of sci-fi gaming in your hands.

 

You could run WayStar with this book alone.

 

But for those who like a little more to chew on, we’re also creating…

 

The WayStar Creature Codex book includes 100+ monsters (and many more as stretch goals) for GMs to create rich and challenging encounters. Each creature comes with its own stat block, lore block, and original illustration. The book will also include details on monster behaviors, environments, and tactics.

A few NPCs and Creatures

This first Galactic Setting book contains everything the GM needs to weave a rich galactic tapestry. Use the Archives as-is or pick and choose what you like most. 

This setting book contains expanded species and class options and detailed information on star systems, planets, cities, environments, cosmic anomalies, space vessels, space stations, and a galaxy load more!

 

It also outlines how history, politics, technology, culture, economy, and conflict impact galactic relations.

 

Liberate Mazharah slaves on Darathorg Minor. Quell an uprising on Tanus Prime. Spark a Revolution on Gallara Station. Or overthrow the Askanti Empire.

 

Galactic conflict. Planetary wars. Fleet battles. Political intrigue. Tactical engagements.

 

All set against the backdrop of an ancient galactic-wide civilization, known by many as the Golems, that mysteriously and suddenly vanished from existence millennia before. 

 

And rumors of a new threat from beyond the Periphery.

 

The options are many. 

 

The choice is yours.

 

The Steal the Stars adventure book is a space heist adventure that pits players against the corrupt organizations of Shiv Space, a remote star system overtaken by a centuries-old penal colony.

 

Players must steal the “stars”, a set of ancient artefacts with untold power, before the nefarious gangs of Shiv Space can get their dirty claws on them. Otherwise, the Galaxy and everything in it will be purged with cosmic flame.

 

This adventure book also includes species and class options specific to the adventure, expanded rules, and expanded lore on Shiv Space, an insular system cut off from the rest of the Galaxy.

Don't forget the limited edition alt cover version you can get for free if you back a physical tier in the first 72 hours.

Did we mention we're expanding this into a comic book and novel series?

In other words, there will be no end to inspirational source material you can draw on for your games!

Do we have your support?
