Parsec
RPG
$ 20.00 SRP
Parsec is a science-fiction tabletop RPG that sticks
close to what is feasible given what we know about the world today - the only
big "cheat" is the new technology of faster-than-light travel. The setting is
composed of things we can easily imagine in our own future, without any
supernatural elements like psionics or magic. It's a simple, versatile game, and
you can probably teach the system, create characters and be ready to play in an
hour or two the first time you sit down. Through this game, you portray stories
of people who are living on Earth or elsewhere in our solar system about 100
years in our future. You tell their stories one scene at a time, focusing on the
conflicts they get into, the secrets they know, and what they want most.
Meanwhile, around them, neo-feudal corporations and a new world government fight
for supremacy on a ravaged Earth while the very first FTL drive-ships change
space travel forever. The stories you tell take place in vast post-urban
wastelands, the crumbling fringes of great cities, cutting-edge and vibrant city
cores or inside vast arcologies - or off-world, on permanent space-stations in
orbit around Earth, colonies on Luna or Mars, mining operations in the Asteroid
Belt, outposts on Europa or Titan, or on one of the many ships connecting all of
them. Whether your character is an urban tribal insurgent or a corporate spy or
a space-faring pirate captain, a simple system helps you get your character into
interesting conflicts and fight her way out of
them.
