The
ttrpg
system

Starset RPG is created to pull people who feel lost and alone into community. Young adults everywhere suffer from feeling disconnected. Starset captures that feeling in a grimdark future where the solar system is hopelessly disconnected from the universe, and players are despairing citizens. Together, players search for hope and reforge light in a world where even the stars have gone out. 

Over 300 gamers around the world created Starset in our 2023 Kickstarter. Now it's your turn to join the growing community of gamers lending hope to a darkening world.
