Just picked up Orbital Blues? Taken in by the piles of fantastic artwork in that book but want more? Or maybe you're interested in how the art came together, or the thought process of the artist behind all that work? This book is for you!
Wayward Stars is an artbook examining the primary pieces of art in the Orbital Blues RPG corebook and both how they were made, and the thinking behind them. The book is laid out in the same minimalist style as Orbital Blues, giving each piece of art its own room to breathe, and never crowding the text.
The book not only presents its art with all the care you'd expect after seeing Orbital Blues, it is also interlaced with little lore snippets from the Orbital Blues world itself. An excerpt here describing a city, some fictionalized ad copy for a weapon or vehicle there, the book is an excellent secondary source of inspiration for any Orbital Blues game you might run, and helps to lend yet more weight to the world the authors have so finely crafted.
If you like Orbital Blues, you'll like this book, and you owe it yourself to pick it up. Just like with the corebook, come for the art, but stay for the game.
