Orbital Blues is a science fiction RPG Quickstart with 31 pages. There are six characters provided. They fall into the category of thieves, smugglers, and bounty hunters. There are some interesting rules for dealing with the “blues”. Most of the time you will be rolling two six-sided dice, but sometimes three. About half of the pages are about setting up a campaign and the adventure hooks that come with it. I soloed this with a solo system I have been testing out. I used five of the characters provided and added a scientist. The adventure I used was Antioch Station (DriveThruRPG/pay what you want). On the first day they did rescue a tour ship (musicians who know how to party). On the second day they continued on their quest to the space station. They did survive the mission and accomplished the three goals. And they made a profit! Give this unique game system a try!
