Playtesting and Con prep!

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I thought I'd share that just last week I held another round of playtesting which went really well. One thing I'd been refining of late was the character generation. And while it still had some rough edges, I think we've ironed those out. I do need to update the player handout though to make things more clear. 

We also had a solid test of the space magic rules. At least, I was confident enough from feedback that I can go ahead and finish the two spellcasting character classes (Astrocaster and Starlocke) and the remaining spell lists. 

Combat was also tested and goes pretty fast and furious! 

Finally, I'll be running a lot of these rules at Con of the North. I think there's still tickets left if you're planning on going this year. If not, at least swing by the Saturday Night Space Opera room and say hello and ask me your questions about the game!

An Overview of Space Magic in Rad Astra

IN THE BEGINNING OF SPACETIME...

...before the birth of the old gods and the plucking of the universal filaments to create the vibrations that would give way to the multiverse, there was only... the Krackle. The original source of all things that cracked, sputtered, spit, and hissed with raw power. Pure and potent, it's energies were first discovered by the eternal titans of the cosmos.

Not only did they weave eternal geometries it into galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae, but likewise did they pour its essence into the "reverse" of spacetime fabric: hyperspace, astrality, and the dark dimensions. Hence, its application is unlimited. It can be pooled or tapped and called forth, fueling cosmic and arcane might. But those gifted mortals who seek to tame the blood of the universe are cursed to crave it evermore!
