Return to the Stars Core Game
RETURN TO THE STARS is an indie tabletop science fiction role playing game for players and GMs, set on journeys that reconnect lost civilizations with futuristic technology like interstellar spaceships. The adventure is episodic by design so it's easy-to play without spending too much time in the planning phase or worrying about calculating statistics—just enjoy telling a story! Return to the Stars comes equipped as an indie game system powered through Fate Core SRD, ready for players who are fans of optimistic sci-fi tales filled with adventure and discovery. * The Adventure: Journey Through Time (Episodes 1 - 10) and Beyond Our Horizon (Episode 11): Playable Episodic Adventures that take place in different time periods from ancient times to the present day as humans develop interstellar spaceships, technology for exploring outer space beyond planet Earth's atmosphere or near stars. * Character Creation: Customize characters with unique skills and abilities tailored specifically to tell science fiction stories within a post-scarcity society of enthusiasts enjoying media they love that promote kindness rather than weakness in the face of oppressive circumstances; your heroes will embody hopepunk ideals like rebellion against cynicism, as portrayed by Carl Sagan's "If You Want To Make An Apple Pie from Scratch," then Return to
