Striker Core Rulebook 2nd Edition
A downloadable game
Striker - A TTRPG Far Off in Space and Time
In the vast and hostile colds of space are great opportunities, but also great dangers. Some of those dangers we brought with us, but some have been sleeping there for millions of years.
The year is 4400 AD, 1300 years after a savage inter-dimensional war, and 1800 years after humanity had first reached for the stars. Amid the hulks of space, and the wreckage of Ozymandian empires, brave new adventurers, pirates, and prospectors find their fortunes.
Welcome to Striker, a no-holds-barred role-playing game set in the far future.
It introduces the Striker d20 Mechanic, combining the familiar basis of roll-high d20 gaming, with a deep and satisfying skill system.
The Core Rulebook is completely self-contained, guides you through building your character's: sophont (like a race, or an artificial life form, anything that's able to be a character), abilities, skills, background, profession, gene- and cyber- enhancements. It also details out equipment, armour, weapons, all the way up to the ultimate piece of adventuring equipment: the striker.
It's d20 Jim, but not as you know it
The Striker d20 Mechanic is a pragmatic approach to sci fi gaming. It leverages some of the familiarity of d20 systems, but ruthlessly removes all the baggage, and vastly empowers skills, so that they are now primary.
More than 200 hours of play testing deep and complex sci fi stories in various contests (physical, social, and technological), have delivered a fast and smooth system that has an equal emphasis on narrative and combative styles of play. Better yet, it also scales to contests between starships without a change in the mechanic.
Most importantly, the Striker d20 Mechanic makes a real difference to the science-fiction feel of the game. It helps to tell the story. It puts you in space.
The Striker Mechanic scales, hardly needs a single lookup table, involves simple maths, easy to remember, and it tells a good sci fi story, even computer hacking makes sense.
