Astracordis Indie Science Fiction RPG Kickstarter

Astracordis is an indie science fiction role-playing game focused on space exploration, research, diplomacy, and science. It’s played using Access Terminal, an application that includes several tools such as character sheets and a virtual game board.

This project was born as a game inspired by works like Star Trek, where diplomatic and scientific exploration takes precedence over direct action.

That said, combat exists in Astracordis, both on foot and aboard starships, where each crew member fulfills a unique role.

The rulebook includes class-free character creation, mechanics for non-violent resolutions, combat rules, an official setting with eight playable species, a reference compendium of skills, items, weapons, and characters, and an introductory adventure.

From the very beginning, we wanted the game to be supported by an immersive application, which led us to develop Access Terminal, the free companion app to the rulebook. It features character sheets, combat boards, virtual dice, unique systems for managing complex tasks, original music, and the ability to create online rooms for a game master and up to six players.

We’ve just launched our Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of the rulebook, a full-color A5 book featuring artwork by illustrator Lur Noise.

If we surpass our goal, we plan to expand the game’s official artwork, add new adventures, and publish two additional books: one expanding the setting and another containing a complete campaign.
