Hey there, Citizens! I've been working on something, I'm about to hire my first concept artist to come in and help me start developing the visuals for it, and I thought it would be smart to share it with Spectrum. If this crosses the line between sharing and solicitation, please let me know and I'll take it down. Jump Rangers is a tabletop roleplaying game about kid space commandos fighting for humanity's survival against an empire of giant alien dinosaurs - as well as giant alien robots, and all the other giant threats that wait for us among the stars. When The Saurian Horde invaded Earth, our world had no interstellar travel of our own. The only way humanity could survive was by colonizing their vast and cavernous motherships, colonizing the worlds where they land, and spreading out amongst the stars like an infestation of bed bugs. While the grown-up refugees of Earth struggle through their ragtag, "bandages and blasters" existence and cling to the last little pieces of human civilization, a number of brave kids have taken it upon themselves to sneak aboard alien vessels and steal technology, to carry news between worlds and star systems, to fight back against the aliens, and to lead humanity into the future. All the core rules and worldbuilding are available, for free, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/click-here-for-34534795 I've got the first ten chapters of a novel available there, as well. It's just the supplementary stuff that's behind the paywall - although there's a lot of that, too. Right now, I'm gearing up for one last sweep of the character creation systems and the NPC balancing for a 2.0 revision... and then I'm finishing the book and working on a sourcebook for the material in the novel while I start hammering away at the visual design. If anyone wants a glance at what's actually in the supplementary material, I keep a complete index and glossary of the Jump Rangers galaxy here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VXlCjQvm9fT9AJdPHqrsOh6c1P1rlEiF/view?usp=sharing Obviously, this is a very different thing than Star Citizen. I lean into a lot of familiar tropes, from space mice to transforming mechafighters, to living planets and refugees living in the bellies of space whales... and what ties it all together is the fact that you're seeing it all through the eyes of a kid. It's a super fun game, even in it's present state, and I think Jump Rangers can wind up becoming a substantial contribution to our culture. If you're curious, I hope you'll check it out!
