Kickstarter – The Parsec Roleplaying Game

Okay, I have to say that the Parsec RPG at Kickstarter looks like it could be a blast. The basic concept — space roleplaying game with conflict of many kinds — sounds great, and the artwork by Jacob Walker really has me hooked. The cover — shown below — has a real retro feel to it and just browsing through Walker’s blog has me wishing that I was still publishing roleplaying game material just so that I could commission him for a job.

Parsec is a sci-fi roleplaying game of insurgency, interplanetary politics, corporate espionage and space piracy in a solar system on the brink of war. Parsec uses a simple and versatile d6 system and features innovative character advancement, simplified equipment with no tedious weapon lists, and a system where the players define the goals they are after, the obstacles they will face, and the passions and secrets that drive their characters to adventure.

Take a look at the author’s blog, the official blog, and the Kickstarter page for more information. And then consider jumping in you’re an RPG fan; this one has met its funding and closes in a few days so there’s very little time to basically pre-order a copy for yourself.
