Wayward Stars: An Orbital Blues Artbook
Publisher: SoulMuppet Publishing
by Joan A. F. G. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/09/2021 08:17:02

Originally offered as stretch goal and addon during the Kickstarter campaign after so many people asked for an art book based on the gorgeous art shown during the campaign. Wayward Stars doesn't only showcase art from the RPG, but also shows the process followed by the artist with an accompanying explanation for almost every piece. So if you like the art pieces and art direction forun in Orbital Blues, this book will provide a better look at them, an insight into the process of creating them and could very well serve to mine some inspiration.

Orbital Blues: A Space Western RPG

If I was to use a single word to describe Orbital Blues it would be 'evocative'. With a superb art direction and design, Orbtial Blues really shines and manages to quickly set the mood and transport your mind to a low sci-fi galaxy that has seen better days, with space cowboys and bounty hunters minding their business amidst americana rusting under the suns.

The rules are simple, easy to learn, easy to teach but that perfectly convey the mood and the spirit of the game. The setting is implied, rather than fully explained and detailed, so it will give you plenty of ideas and certainly transmit a certain flavour while, at the same time, giving you full control to imagine and define the specifics to your group's liking. This may not work for everyone; if you prefer something with a rich setting, pages and pages of history, long detailed descriptions, then this is not the game for you. Also, the rules are so lite yet so flexible, that you will probably need to house rule a lot of things, depening on your group playstyle.

Perhaps you want something that reminds you of Cowboy Bebop? Perhaps Firefly is more to your liking? Maybe you want to recreate something similar to Outland? The game has you covered.

If you would like to roleplay a group of misfits living their lives job by job, jumping from system to system in search of the next hit or the next bounty while running from their own demons and their own pasts, Orbital Blues is the game for you. So gather your crew, board your spaceship and look for the nearest bounty board.
