Pocket Space RPG is a complete role-playing game for a fun night of space exploration and taking control of your fate amongst the stars. Using only one d6, Pocket Space RPG was created for those times when someone cancels on game night and the rest of the group is wondering what to do. It was also created with new or young players in mind. Easy and straight forward rules that let you get playing in no time. No deep character generation, clunky combat rules, or complex space combat to bog down the game play. Using the d6 task rule, nothing is impossible with this game. The amount of planets, aliens, and missions are nearly endless in a single session of fast action Pocket Space RPG!

5 Character Classes which include Captain, Engineer, Pilot, Scientist and Security.
Rules for generating Alien Characters with 36 different Alien Abilities.
Equipment, Technology and Hobbies.
Starships and Starship Combat, with everyone onboard contributing to the action!
Vehicle Combat.
2 Options for creating Planetary Systems that can be used together.
Rules for creating Worlds, including Gas Planets, Asteroid Belts, Moons, and Unique Anomalies.
Transport and commerce. Buy low sell high!
Chartered Passenger Flights.
2 Subgenres, Galactic Exploration and Merchants & Mercenaries with Mission Generators for both.
Structure Generator with traps and location features for starships, space stations, alien worlds, and caves.
Alien Animal creation rules for food adaption, combat skill and hit points as well as unique animal abilities.
Misc. Tables for names, personalities, room types, and sci-fi things.
Pocket Master Tips to help you navigate your players into the unknown!
Print rules at 108% for improved visibility, fold and put in your pocket along with a d6, see how that works?
Use my free game Pocket Fantasy RPG to help design or inspire your alien monsters.
Thanks to Thomas M. for the form fillable sheets!

Happy adventuring!

Howdy! First of all, I love how lean your system is. I've been fiddling with Pocket Fantasy and it plays lightning fast which is huge for me. However, I'm a massive scifi nerd and had to check this one out too. Reading over it, I love it already! But I am very much a 'want to feel it in my hands' kind of person so I had a question: did you have any plans to put out a PDF similar to what Quest Givers did with Pocket Fantasy? I adore this little booklet I can stick in my pocket alongside a couple dice and just play wherever I end up and would love to have one for Pocket Space as well.

Thanks so much in advance and big thanks for making the whole thing! I'm trying to do my own system and yours has given me a ton of inspiration!

Thanks for the kind words Alan, they mean a lot. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no discussion to make a “pocket” sized edition of Pocket Space RPG like the Quest Givers version of Pocket Fantasy RPG. My apologies, but if something changes I will most certainly have that version available and let you know about it.

Good luck with your system and knowing that it has inspired you makes all the work that went into my games that much more worth it.

Hi, I picked this up (with Robots and Horror) because i was intrigued and it was inexpensive, and you can never have too many SciFi RPGs, even if just for inspiration.
One thing, my eyesight isn't the best and the format is not ideal for me... is there any chance of a more accessable version reformatted to a more standard single column Portrait page... rather than 3 columns per landscape A4 page... ie a more standard format please? Same for Robots and Horror too would be great.
Thanks for the great work.

Brandon G July 19, 2023 10:20 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

Thanks for picking it up and the kind words! I’ll try to provide a different format in the future but not sure how soon I can get to it. I’ll comment back when I have more information.

PURCHASER

Thanks for the quick response.... I wasn't expecting you to drop everything and do it overnight :)

Sometime next week will do ;P

I can use it as is on my screen zoomed, so not a massive problem, but for printing at some time in the future it would be ideal. Whenever you do get a chance, that would be brilliant.
A lot of RPG's aren't formatted with old eye's in mind :)

I love stuff like this and like what you have done with it.

Brandon G July 21, 2023 10:42 am UTC

PUBLISHER

I really appreciate the praise. Just so I know, did you try printing it out at 108%? That will give me a starting point when I work on it.

Steve I July 28, 2023 2:16 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Thanks for the reply again... so, as a UK based player, I use A4, so 'fit to page' when printing, which ends up being maybe 97% at a guess.

So, in summary, the main thrust of my request is that the font is way too small, too much crammed onto a single page, 3 columns etc

Ideally, *for me*, a more tradional single column per page, larger font, formatted to support portrait and A4 or Even A5 booklet.
I get that this completely changes the style you opted for, increasing the page count etc, but with my eyesight, its the only practical way i can use this in printed form.

Thanks I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks, I really appreciate the engagement, and if you do manage to accomodate me, thanks in advance!
If I can assist in any way, I would be more than happy to help out... just a thought.

I have a question concerning spaceship combat: The enemy spaceships always attack BEFORE the gunnery position? Or is there some kind of initiative?

Brandon G January 08, 2023 1:40 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

My earlier design had an initiative step and it made space combat more complicated when choosing when to be offensive and defensive. I have considered adding a sentence that says all damage is done simultaneously to show combat in a more abstract way, spanning an amount of time (kinda like older D&D where a round of combat would be a series of attacks, blocks and ultimately resulting in HP loss. Not a single swing of a weapon). My goal is always to make the game fun, and maybe having the enemy attack first goes against that goal. I will continue to look at it and see if it needs to be changed. Thanks for the question. Space combat has been a real challenge and I want to make sure I get it as right and ultimately fun without being too complicated (which it already is compared to other parts of the game since it involves multiple characters working together).

Well, you have knocked it out of the park. In all sci-fi RPGs the main problem was the space fights. They were either way too complex to bother with, or only the pilot did something. But this "Assigned to positions" thing is awesome, everyone is useful.

Brandon G January 08, 2023 9:55 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

Thanks you very much that’s great praise and I really appreciate it. I’ve updated the game and I hope it’s an improvement.

Ralf G December 23, 2022 10:43 am UTC

I really like your cover art. Simple yet evocative. It immediately captured by eye.

Brandon G December 23, 2022 2:05 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

Thanks! I like easy to print, easy to grasp art that doesn’t break the printer ink if someone wants to print it out. Same goes for the products themselves.

is there a "fillable" character sheet avail for this system (like the one in Pocket Fantasy) ??

i know i could use the Fantasy one in a pinch, but immersion is everything LOL

THANKS!!!

Brandon G December 14, 2022 9:34 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

Thanks for the support and the question which is a good one. Someone made the Fantasy one for me but I will try and get one up for Space as soon as I can. Thanks!

Brandon

Hello Brandon. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I'm a big fan of Pocket Fantasy and I'm eager to try this new game and genre. I'm sure Pocket Space is going to be also a great success. I will try to leave a review as soon as I can. Looking forward to the new "Pocket horror RPG". ;)
