Avarice: The Project Morningstar RPG

In Avarice, Players take the roles of desperate professionals, corporate assets, freelancers, soldiers, debtors, skivers, troubleshooters, and hired killers trying to survive in a civilization that measures them by their Credit Score. In the universe of Project Morningstar, the galaxy is controlled by the Hegemon of a Thousand Empires, a vast corporatocracy built on profit, credit, ownership, and regulated violence across Known Space. Its inhabitants are not citizens in any meaningful sense. They are Consumers, ranked by their value, judged by their debt, and granted rights according to what The Market says they are worth. As a Consumer in a universe where greed is a virtue, everyone eventually asks themselves, “what is my price?”

The Hegemon of a Thousand Empires does not conquer only through armies, warships, and orbital bombardment. It conquers through contracts, subscriptions, trademarks, licensing agreements, and the quiet terror of insolvency.

For most Consumers, doing their best looks like following the rules and keeping their heads down, hoping for a bonus at the end of every fiscal cycle. For a rare few, gaming the system and climbing the corporate ladder through doing jobs for the Patrons is their get-rich — or die-horribly — plan for success.

Avarice is a 2d20 role-playing game based on Project Morningstar, a science fiction universe set in a distant, unknown future where humanity has united through collective greed and the pursuit of profit. Influenced by the works of Paul Verhoeven, H.R. Giger, Ridley Scott, and James Cameron, Project Morningstar has quickly expanded to encompass deep lore, cinema-quality YouTube animations, comics, miniatures, and now role-playing games.
