It is a time of hyper-capitalism and a cut-throat gig economy. Unreliable trash-heaps carry scrappy underdogs to their next gig, and corporation freighters lumber across the horizon laden with an empire’s bounty.\u003cbr\u003eThese are the music-fuelled, moon-age daydreams of a rebel space age.\u003cbr\u003eThese are your ORBITAL BLUES.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eORBITAL BLUES is a lo-fi space western roleplaying game from SoulMuppet Publishing, written by Sam Sleney \u0026amp; Zachary Cox and illustrated by Josh Clark. A roleplaying love-letter to off-beat sci-fi, vintage music, and cooperative old-school styled roleplay, Orbital Blues allows you to play out rules-light tabletop adventures in the style of your favourite space westerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStepping into the shoes of Interstellar Outlaws, players band together to form Crews, and navigate a hard-going, gig-economy living on the fringes of a space-faring society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeveloped on the critically acclaimed rules-lite system of Best Left Buried, Orbital Blues uses a simple D6 based system with 3 basic stats - MUSCLE, GRIT, and SAVVY - to handle rolls and uncertainty - putting the narrative and relationships of the player characters at the heart of play without the baggage of hefty mechanics, classes or roles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt by Joshua Clark.
