Cosmic Highway
You've got a ship. You've got a crew. Now you need the credits to keep ' em flying. Salvage¸ smuggle¸ shoot¸ or speed your way to your next payday. Come on-let's go space truckin '.
Cosmic Highway is a super-slim¸ self-contained¸ lo-fi sci-fi RPG about space truckers trying to keep their rust bucket flying. It's inspired by series like Firefly and The Expanse¸ and built with the same rules as the free 24XX SRD. It's 3 pages and a cover¸ fitting on two sides of a letter-sized page.
What is 2400? 2400 is lo-fi sci-fi. It's centuries in the future¸ and it's a decades-old modem that screams like a dying robot when it connects to the net. It's a space ship with an FTL drive¸ artificial gravity¸ and a flickering display you gotta tap a few times to see the jump coordinates. It's hacking something together with whatever cheap materials you have on hand¸ ignoring the rules until you need them¸ banging out something that might not sound finished¸ but definitely sounds fun. It's a series of micro RPGs that might all be in the same setting¸ unless they aren't.
