nb The QuestWorlds rules originated in 2000 as Hero Wars by Robin D. Laws. A revised edition was published as HeroQuest in 2003, and a new second edition in 2009. In 2015 HeroQuest Glorantha by Robin D. Laws and Jeff Richard set the HeroQuest rules in Greg Stafford’s world of Glorantha.

Under lead developer Ian Cooper, QuestWorlds once again makes the rules engine generic, suitable for play across a myriad of genres.

Cool, another indie release using the QuestWorlds engine! This time it's sci-fi, "that lets you play in settings inspired by Firefly, Blake's 7, and Cowboy Bebop. You play down-on-your-luck characters flying a ship, living from job to job while evading the influence of the Alliance, a dictatorial central government."

Check out Alliance at Itch.io, a galactic game of heists and rebellion
