Grimmerspace Has Launched!

Gritty Starfinder-compatible horror sci-fi setting Grimmerspace, which features writing by Sean "Sam Gangee" Astin, has launched on Kickstarter. It's a setting where advanced scientific civilisations encounter magic for the first time, and it doesn't go well.

​

If you enjoyed The Styes, an adventure in WotC's latest adventure book for D&D, Ghosts of Saltmarsh, you'll be interested to know that Richard Pett, it's original author, wrote a free Grimmerspace adventure called Abattoir 8 which you can download now. Also involved are Rone Barton and Razor Coast's Lou Agresta.

Check out the Kickstarter here. For $30 you get the PDFs, and for $40 you get the core game in print. Higher pledge levels even include the Starfinder Beginner Box from Paizo.

Hey, I pledged. THAT'S what's important.

Kickstarter pledges have petered out. The excitement is fading, sadly.

Well they are at 6x their funding goal already. I'm not thrilled with the Starfinder base setting, so I'm really looking forward to this!

That’s how Kickstarters work. You get a rush at the start, one at the end, and a long flat bit in the middle. A Kickstarter campaign has a “U” shape.

I hope they add a stretch goal to have John Astin (aka Gomez Addams and his sort of father) write something.

This looks and sounds quite interesting to me. I backed it although I limited myself to the digital level. My Starfinder campaign with be over long before this releases. I'll have to save it for the next go.

This definitely has my interest. If only for the additional books. I can always use some extra locations and monsters for sci fi. However, I can't justify spending money on this right now, given my other recent purchases.

Exactly! First I saw this it screamed "grim and perilous" to me. Warhammer nostalgia anyone? But even better in the form of Starfinder RPG horror. This will fill a void in my fanboy life left by other, floundering, sci-fi horror outlets. Thanks for putting this together, Grimmers. You have my support and backing at $120.

Grab that free adventure if you have the chance. It's wickedly good. The artwork, the maps, the handouts...they did a hell of a job with it. It's Sci-Fi horror, so not everyone's cup of tea. But the adventure is a delight even if you're just looking at the layout.
My group isn't too big on horror games, but I backed the kickstarter after reading the adventure. If they keep up that quality in the other books, it'll be a fun read regardless of whether I can talk my group into giving it a try or not...

Iron GM Games has pulled together an excellent creative team for this Kickstarter and have described an equally excellent QA process. Now approaching $100K and 1,500 backers with 18 days still to go! Eager to get my hands on books already swelling with the multiple stretch goals met. Next in sight is Fantasy Grounds support: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/agrestasaurus/grimmerspace/posts/2526955
