Steel and Stars

Steel and Stars is a lean, atmospheric RPG of decay and survival among crumbling empires, living voidships, and forgotten technologies, powered by a fast d6 risk roll that turns consequences into scars and stories. Build a Wayfarer—Seeker, Blade, Witch, Mender, Ghost, or Pilot—from exiled lineages, constructs, wanderers, or the awakened, then scrape by on relics, contracts, and fragile alliances in an ancient, uncaring cosmos. What you get Focused core rules: roll only when risk matters, with clean outcomes—disaster, setback, or success—and advancement after each journey. Quick character creation with evocative skills, paths, origins, gear, augments, and living voidships you can upgrade and break for armor. GM tools: job tables, patrons and rivals, and a generator of haunting mysteries to seed every ruin-crawl and salvage run. Tone and play Cosmic ruin, biotech sorcery, and memory-haunted voyages where every wound leaves a mark—and six scars make you something other. Minimal prep, rulings-first, mysteries you don’t solve in advance, and a universe that persists whether you do or not.
