Dice Doctor Games recently released a tabletop RPG called StarCrew. This is a sci-fi RPG inspired by various beloved sci-fi franchises with one in particular that really stands out. The idea behind StarCrew is that due to a crazy turn of events, your ship’s captain and officers are all dead leaving the Ensigns (the players) in charge. It feels silly and silly and I love it. Sounds like a fun time for fans looking for light-hearted sci-fi fun.
Called to adventure among the stars, you have become the Star-Crew of a Federation ship to become explorers, indeed, heroes of space. You and your crew are among the first to penetrate the Darkness, the last frontier of the galaxy, where space holds as many wonders as dangers. Your captain and bridge crew have just learned this lesson. They died. And thanks to a relaxing nap on shift, you Ensigns are the only survivors. Via Federation rules you are now tasked with completing the mission. Oh, if you can find a better one on the Ketz, that would be the bomb. Just don’t start a war!
You can buy rules for StarCrew (affiliate link) for $4.98 and the initial scenario, Explosive contact (affiliate link) for $4.98 via DriveThruRPG.
The galaxy is divided between the Federation and the Ketz Empire. Both are probing the Darkness, a frontier of wild and uncharted planets, to find the new Kyberium needed for hyper-travel. You are an ensign on a small Federation deep space vessel. Your mission? Explore the Darkness, find Kyberium, discover new civilizations, like the Borr, and help them join the Federation. There is a problem.
The Borrs “obtained” an attractive amount of red Kyberium to expedite their acceptance into the Federation, out of fear of Ketz’s annexation. Little did they know that Kyberium was highly unstable. Now, your brave captain and deck crew go to broker the deal on cruiser Borr with the Kyberium, only for it to explode, killing everyone. You need to step up and clean up, but please, don’t start a war!
