(RPG PDF Spotlight) Clement Sector Core Rulebook+

RPG PDF Spotlights is our daily look at a recent release for a new tabletop roleplaying game, supplement or scenario, or solo journaling game, that has caught my eye. This isn’t a review, although I hope we can start offering reviews in addition to our news coverage in the future, more of a “hey guys, check this out!” shoutout. Today we look at three books from Independence Games for the sci-fi Clement Sector RPG.

Clement Sector Core Rulebook

Core Rulebook by Independence Games

Out on the frontier, survival is never guaranteed.

Clement Sector Core Rulebook is your gateway to a dangerous and isolated region of space where distant worlds struggle to survive after being cut off from Earth. Trade routes span the stars. Corporations compete for profit and power. Pirates prey on the edges of civilization. Independent merchants, bounty hunters, explorers, colonists, law officers, and rogues all try to carve out a living among the stars.

Built on a fast and intuitive 2d6 system, Clement Sector combines frontier adventure, hard choices, and cinematic action in a setting inspired as much by classic Westerns as by space opera. Whether you are negotiating cargo contracts at a crowded starport, hunting pirates in deep space, surviving hostile worlds, or drawing a pistol in a dusty settlement at the edge of nowhere, the rules in this book provide everything needed to bring those stories to life.

Clement Sector is a frontier. There is no mighty galactic empire to save you. No fleet is coming over the horizon. The law is local. Reputation matters. Distance changes everything.

Grab your gear. Fuel the ship. The frontier awaits.

Who were you before the adventure began?

Clement Sector Core Character Creation Book transforms character generation into a living history of triumphs, failures, rivalries, ambition, and survival on the frontier. This is not simply a system for assigning statistics. It is a complete life path experience that follows your character from childhood to adulthood, shaping them through education, careers, mishaps, relationships, aging, and hard-earned experience.

Every character has a story.

You may begin life as the child of colonists on a marginal world, an uplift struggling against prejudice, an altrant engineered for survival, or a citizen of a settled world. Your path may lead through military academies, universities, criminal organizations, corporate service, exploration missions, political intrigue, or years of hard labor in the asteroid belts. Success can bring rank, influence, wealth, and skill. Failure can leave scars, enemies, and shattered ambitions.

Inside this volume you will find:

• A complete life path character generation system for Clement Sector
• Rules for humans, altrants, and uplifted animals
• Detailed family, youth, teenage, and educational systems
• Military academies, graduate school, and medical school options
• More than thirty careers ranging from explorer and merchant to pirate, politician, scientist, investigator, marine, and thief
• Career events, mishaps, aging, advancement, and mustering out benefits
• Expanded rules for character growth, relationships, NPCs, and personality quirks
• Flowcharts and step-by-step guidance for creating richly detailed characters

Character generation in Clement Sector is a game in itself. Each decision and each roll builds a history that ties your character directly into the worlds, organizations, and conflicts of the setting. Allies are made. Rivals emerge. Careers rise and fall. By the time play begins, your character already feels like a real person with a past that matters.

The frontier changes everyone.

The question is what it will make of you.

Clement Sector Core Setting Book

Clement Sector Setting by Independence Games

Humanity crossed the stars through a single gateway.

Then it vanished.

Clement Sector Core Setting Book is the definitive guide to one of gaming’s most detailed and fully realized frontier science fiction settings. Once connected to Earth by the wormhole known as the Conduit, Clement Sector was suddenly cut off from the rest of human civilization. In the centuries since the Collapse, isolated colonies have become independent worlds, trade routes have become lifelines, and survival depends on self-reliance, determination, and ambition.

This is a frontier where distance matters.

Messages travel no faster than the ships that carry them. Governments rule only as far as their ships can reach. Corporations battle for influence across dozens of systems. Independent crews move cargo, passengers, information, and sometimes contraband through dangerous regions where law is local and power is personal.

Inside this volume you will find:

• A complete history of humanity from the Times of Trouble on Earth to the modern era of Clement Sector
• Detailed information on the Collapse of the Conduit and the rise of the independent worlds
• Comprehensive sector and subsector atlases covering Clement Sector and portions of Ariel Sector and Tranquility Sector
• Descriptions of major worlds, governments, corporations, political powers, and organizations
• Rules and explanations for interstellar travel, trade, communications, visas, piracy, smuggling, and frontier commerce
• In depth discussions of life on the frontier, including culture, economics, religion, law, and daily survival
• Campaign frameworks, current conflicts, and story hooks designed to drive years of adventures

Clement Sector is not a galaxy-spanning empire. It is a patchwork of worlds struggling to survive, prosper, and define their own futures in the aftermath of isolation. Alliances are fragile. Trade is vital. Reputation matters. A single ship and crew can alter the balance of power because there is no massive bureaucracy waiting to restore the old order.

This is frontier science fiction in the tradition of the great space westerns: independent worlds, hard choices, long journeys, and dangerous opportunities beyond every star.

The Conduit is gone. These worlds stand alone.
