Preface to the Attack
Most people dream of fame and fortune. I dream of the enormous creatures what would grow if space were habitable for long, and the raving sentients who would try to leap across the abyss if space were even passable.
For decades this had been just a loose collection of ideas and events that filled in that stark and crazed world. I played with pouring that tepid slurry into the mold of a book, but I always knew my ability to write would never make it worth trying.
Then it occurred to me:
I’m thinking of making this not into a book. (No, I mean not only knowing it’ll never amount to anything, but also orienting this towards a final product isn’t a book.) A role playing game.
With Chaoism-like skills and combat mortaility. (You can get killed in any fight there. There’s always a chance. Which is why Stormbringer worked so well there.)
As far as a-ha moments go, it’s no falling apple, but I’ll take it. And let’s see into what dead voids of dust we can blast through to with it!
Organization
This game currently consists of a developing set of rules and a series of “eras” which can be played. If this ever gets developed enough, it will also contain campaigns and adventures in those eras.
This current book contains the core set of rules for the game.
