Kessler Syndrome

“You’re the new recruit? Step over there and take a look outta that porthole. You see all those tiny glittering specs shooting across the surface of the planet? Each of those is a piece of junk the size of a car moving at 21,000 MPH. Somewhere in that blender cloud of scrap is the corpse of your predecessor. Try not to shit yourself.”

Kessler Syndrome is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-4 players and a Game Master about astronauts with heavy debts, piloting even heavier machines called Junkers to clear deadly orbital scrap. You’ll need the standard set of polyhedral dice from a D20 to d4 and maybe a paper bag to breathe into when you’re staring into the emotionless vacuum of space. Players create astronauts working for Toy Box Orbital Detail Inc. and take on dangerous missions to pay the company's bills while managing their insurmountable debt. Everyone at the table should be prepared to get their asses kicked……IN SPACE.
