Space Aces: TOS (The Original Sheets)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $3.00

In Outer Space, there's tons of things to do. When you have a thing that you want done, contract the Space Aces! We are mostly competent, heavily in debt, and highly motivated!


Do you love rules-lite no-prep sci-fi rpg games like Lasers & Feelings but wish it had a little more to it? Crave the emergent narratives of Fate, PBtA and Genesys system games without all the RULES? Love the danger of OSR games and the simplicity of FKR games? Have good eyesight and want an entire game system that fits entirely on a business card?

Meet Space Aces!

Space Aces is a modular system that utilizes a super simple D20 & D6 rolling system that gives you lots of interesting narrative results to rolls. A success can still result in a Cost, and a failure can still result in a Benefit... Ramp up difficulty, tension, and consequences as the mission goes on with the Heat Level meter. Everything you need to play on one business card.

Do you and your crew have the Gumption it takes to complete the mission? Or will you be Taken Out like yesterday's space baguettes? Whatever happens... Adventure Awaits!


Additional Space Aces Modules:


Space Aces Module 2: Episode Guide

And for those of us who need a little extra nudge to figure out an adventure on the fly... try out the patented Space Aces: Episode Guide!

With the Episode Guide you can quickly roll to The Setup the mission, set The Scenes with encounters, npcs, and conflicts, plan out The Snag, and start out with a bang 'in media res' with The Snafu. Guaranteed to generate a wildly memorable adventure every time or your money back. And with the Oracle, all your questions will be answered, allowing for the possibility of solo play!

Space Aces Module 3: Star Hulks & Space Ruins

Turns out Outer Space is chock full of both Star Hulks AND Space Ruins! Often they are full of Loot, Artifacts, and Treasure along with a good helping of Danger! Now you can generate, populate, and explore mysterious alien ruins and ancient derelict starships on the fly any time your adventure calls for it. Featuring a Supply system to keep the intensity up, and a flexible treasure system to give you some great Loots! Can the intrepid Space Aces make it to the Treasure and escape alive? Probably not... but they are just dying to try!

Space Aces Module 4: Friends & Frenemies

Did you know that Outer Space has like... tons of intelligent beings in it? Next time you meet one, roll up and fill out a character card for them using the Friends & Frenemies module of Space Aces. Every character comes complete with a personality, a forte they can help you with, an exploitable flaw, a desire you can help them with, and a juicy secret. Give them a catchphrase and away you go! Also good for providing inspiration & adding depth to your own Player Characters.

Space Aces Module 5: Beasties & Besties

Gotta catch em all? Ever wondered "How to train your space dragon?" Well now you can do both with the Beasties & Besties module for Space Aces. Next time you go on a Spacefari, quickly generate an encounter with a strange new beastie, give them an appearance, personality, trait, and ability, and if you roll your dice right... it just might become your next bestie! Included are simple rules for Wooing, training, and using your new bestie on an adventure. Looks like team rocket is blasting off again!

Space Aces Module 6: Gizmos & Gadgets

Three cheers for alliteration! Everybody knows that there's tons of gizmos AND gadgets in the universe. Now you can lovingly craft your own with a generator that offers exactly 209,952 different options. Featuring an upgrade system to enhance your gear more over time. And finally, if you like collecting the whole set, carrying multiple items with shared Prefixes provides bonuses to their rolls!

Space Aces Modules 7&8: Mechs & Monsters

"I don’t care if you’ve never seen one before. It’s here, it’s huge, it’s hostile. You have a Mech suit. Deal with it."

Who doesn't love Massive Mechs fighting Mega Monsters? Now you can generate a mech frame on the fly, upgrade it as you go, and pilot it to your heart's content. Need a Kaiju to fight? You can build one of those too complete with special abilities, natures, and ultimate attacks, all on two small business cards!

Space Aces Module 9: Galactic Guidebook

Mini planetary hex crawl! Explore strange new places, seek out new life, and new civilizations. Go where no Space Tourist has gone before and write a Galactic Guidebok entry on it. (Please note: All valuable items & treasures discovered are property of Galactic Guidebook Commission)

Space Aces Module 10: Starship Shenanigans

Starship generator and space combat rules on one business card! Generate an amazing ship that you won in a card game complete with sweet uniforms (that may or may not ride up a bit...), and start pew pewing your way to victory with simple 3 phase space combat guidelines. But be warned... space combat is like fat free milk:  best avoided if possible.

Space Aces is a homage to my undying love of happy, hopeful, & campy Sci Fi. It is a tribute to incredible games like Starships & Spacemen, Star Trek Adventures, and all the amazing rules-lite adventure games out there like Lasers & Feelings, Maze Rats, Star Rats, and Lady Blackbird.

You do not. This is mini-TNG that fits on business cards. TNG expands it with tables and more procedures and tools tho. :)

I have a question about the rules, when you roll with advantage do you only roll 2 action die or do you roll 2 cost die as well?

Your call. Try a few options and see what you like. I've waffled on it myself depending on the group. You could roll the action die twice. You could roll both dice twice. Or you could only roll the Cost die twice if you find it too easy for your players.

I have made a form fillable pdf of the Episode 1 Core Guide. I am willing to share, no credit needed. Is there somewhere I could upload it, or I could email it to P0thos 4?

There are some document title mixups? What's called Friends & Frenemies is actually Gizmos and Gadgets. Gizmos and Gadgets is actually the Episode Guide.

You are right... how strange. They were all uploaded correctly... I've just deleted them all and reuploaded. Let me know if that fixes it. Thanks for the heads up!

Any chance of getting these in one document to make printing quicker and easier? These old eyes are going to need to print it as a book rather than on business cards! I do like this modular design though! Very sweet!

Thank you kindly! Let me see what I can do.

In the meantime here’s a Hot Tip: everything is vector based so usually I just scale it up when I print to half page size for each module.

I've had the game for a while now. I did edit the pieces all together into a 4-page document according to theme.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
