DarkSpace is a sci-fi hack for ShadowDark that takes the rules-light, fast-playing fantasy game to the future. Already out in PDF, the “hack” is now on Kickstarter to fund a proper 200-page print and PDF version of the rules add-on.
It just passed $80,000, which means it’s unlocked all of its stretch goals save for the last one: a legendary denizen created by Kelsey Dionne (creator of Shadowdark), which kicks in at $90,000. The $80,000 goal? A legendary denizen by Marc Miller (creator of a little ol’sci-fi RPG called Traveler).
I interviewed Derek White over at Lair of Secrets about the game, his experience running sci-fi games, and ahem, being middle-aged geeks (turns out my middle school years are further in the past than I like to think…)
