Solarcrawl Kickstarter Entering its Final Fortnight

The image features a stylized illustration for the Solarcrawl RPG, showcasing a barren, alien landscape with rocky terrain and unusual, organic structures resembling large, spiraled shells. In the foreground, three astronauts in space suits are depicted near a spacecraft that has landed on the surface, while a large, mechanical structure looms in the background. The title "SOLARCRAWL" is prominently displayed at the top, accompanied by the text "OSR Exploration in a Fantastic Space Age" and a note indicating it was "FUNDED IN UNDER 12 HOURS!" in bold orange lettering. A blue emblem with a triangular symbol is also present, adding to the sci-fi theme.

Galen Pejeau’s Solarcrawl RPG Kickstarter is about to enter its final fourteen days.

Described as a ‘system neutral [sci-fi] roleplaying campaign of exploration, bravery, danger and hope’, Solarcrawl is set in a brand new solar system. Players assume the roles of the astronauts journeying across that system, and the heads of the space agency that masterminds their exploration.

Inspired by old school dungeon crawlers and modern homages such as MÖRK BORG, the Solarcrawl system has been boiled down to simple stat blocks for NPCs, structures and spacecraft; this allows players and GMs to use this book in almost any system that features hit points, saves and levels.

See the Solarcrawl Kickstarter for more details.
