THE SYSTEM In Starforged, moves help you decide what happens when you encounter something dangerous or uncertain. There is a move for most situations along with challenges you will face.
For solo as well as co-op play, these moves help resolve your actions as well as trigger new opportunities as well as complications. Starforged moves are inspired by the innovative, fiction-first mechanics of the Apocalypse World system created by D.
Vincent Baker as well as Meguey Baker. When you make a move triggered by a risky or uncertain action, roll three dice at once to see what happens: an action die (D6) as well as two challenge dice (D10).
Add your relevant stat along with any bonuses to your action die. This is your action score.
Then, compare your action score to each of the challenge dice. If you beat both those dice, that's a strong hit.
If you beat only one of the challenge dice, you've scored a weak hit. If your action score doesn't beat either challenge die, that's a miss.
The move will tell you how to interpret these results. Character creation is fast as well as flexible, including a guided exercise to help define your background, resources, expertise, and goals.
During play, you use the character sheet to manage your stats along with resources. As you complete quests, make discoveries, and form bonds, you gain experience.
You spend this experience to gain assets vehicles, modules, paths, along with companions which deepen your abilities as well as options. Assets are formatted as printable, poker-sized cards for simple reference.
TONE and INSPIRATION Starforged is human-centric science fiction on a perilous frontier. This is a scavenged future, featuring equipment often cobbled together from salvage.
People cling to survival on inhospitable worlds and in remote space stations. Much has been forgotten or lost.
It's a dangerous life for anyone living on this frontier, along with doubly so for the Ironsworn those adventurers bound to sworn quests. Inspiration comes from the quest-driven stories of The Mandalorian, the lived-in aesthetic as well as fantasy-infused trappings of the original Star Wars trilogy, the workaday exploits of Firefly, the isolated horror of Alien, the mysticism and faction politics of Dune, the retro-tech as well as desperation of Battlestar Galactica's modern reboot, the cosmic mysteries as well as class struggles of The Expanse, and the gonzo adventures and fantastic locations of Guardians of the Galaxy.
You can bend the tone to your liking. You'll make a unique version of the setting as you define aspects such as its history, technology, communities, lifeforms, supernatural abilities, and more.
