Mythic Space - A TTRPG love letter to Halo, Mass Effect, Cowboy Bebop, and The Expanse

[Peter LaCara]

Hello ENWorld! I wrote a sci-fi game called Mythic Space that I'm quite proud of. The game is a grungy space opera action-focused RPG that borrows elements of D&D 4e and merges it with Forged in the Dark mechanics for a tactical yet cinematic good time. It plays sort of like if you put Blades in the Dark and XCOM in a blender. I think you'll like Mythic Space if you have ever:

• Paused a Halo LAN party because Cowboy Bebop came on Adult Swim.
• Argued about which Mass Effect romance option is the best (It's obviously Garrus).
• Thrown on the Expanse for the third time while you grind for loot in Destiny.
• Thought "I love the character options in Lancer, but I wish it was as easy to prep as Stars Without Number."

I launched a Kickstarter for the game about a week ago, and we're currently halfway funded. I've also built up a small but vibrant Discord community where people are working on digital tools for the game, like a character sheet app and a random sector generator, with only the occasional deep dives on coffee brewing methods. The playtest version of the game is currently free, so I hope you'll give it a look!

Bumping this thread to let you know that the game is now released! I'm working on a free version of the player facing rules that should be out in a day or two if you're interested but don't want to take the full plunge yet.
