Stillfleet ? Quickstart Rules PRINT BOOK
 |
Stillfleet is a new tabletop RPG about exploring ruined spacecraft-hulks-and habitable earth-like planets¸ cut off from contact with Terra for decades or centuries-rocks.
Players take the roles of "voidminers"-explorers working for the Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters¸ more often known simply as the Co. Their home¸ the alien space station nicknamed Spindle-a sea slug made of undulating black stone¸ kilometers tall-is a mystery to its own inhabitants. It brims with timespace gates called stiffworks¸ many of which are already tacked to habitable worlds...
This Quickstart contains over forty pages of rules¸ aliens¸ settings¸ and random tables¸ as well as a separate document with nine Pregenerated Characters-different species and classes-and a blank character sheet (editable PDF). More game resources are available on our website and Discord server.
As heard on the podcast Fun City¸ the Stillfleet rules system is unique and highly flexible. We've playtested it with old-school RPG fans¸ new-school gamers¸ sci-fi fans¸ and random passersby. Look out for the Stillfleet Core Rulebook in 2022!
NOTE: this product is the print version of the Quickstart Rules. It comes with a (free) PDF version as well. The redactions in the print version are visible in the PDF.

More about the game:
Stillfleet is a tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) about exploring ruined spacecraft-"hulks”-as well as habitable earth-like planets long-ago colonized by terrans but then cut off from contact with the greater galaxy for decades or centuries-"rocks.”
Thus Stillfleet is really two different games¸ one hulkside-a series of grimdark explorations of advanced technical structures¸ hanging in the void-and the other rockside-a political game about managing a company distributed across space.
Players take the roles of various explorers working as part of the Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters¸ more often known simply as "the Company¸” abbreviated the Co. Theoretically¸ the players are working together... In practice¸ this is not always the case.
The term "stillfleet” comes from the fact that many planets were once colonized by humans¸ and that most of these planets (or all of them?) are orbited even today by massive¸ "dead” ships. However advanced¸ these ships never work as originally designed.
Their tachyon drives are unpowered¸ their dimension mills broken. To reach them¸ fleeters use not other ships but the timespace gates called stiffworks.
