Star Marauders
A downloadable game
A Marauder lives and dies for the Longship.
A Marauder is only as strong as their War Family.
Rob, raze and ransom the stars in this uniquely adversarial SFRPG experience. Pull off intense boarding actions and explore decrepit derelicts where danger lurks around every corner...
There are many ways to kill or be killed in the cold clutches of the cosmos...
Prepare to die in STAR MARAUDERS!
- Two six-sided dice, pencil, paper, and some friends are all you need to play
- A highly lethal game loop focused on action and adventure
- OSR-style rules inspired by Troika! (Sell), Violence (Gearing) and Traveller (Miller)
- Infinite adventures await with the Opportunities generator
- The Heat system ensures actions have consequences and keeps the campaign moving
- Customize the Longship you call home. But be prepared to defend your Assets from Space Patrol!
- A unique, three tiered Reaction system to keep NPCs feeling lively and varied in their behaviour
- Includes "Hither Comes the Zither", a boarding actions starter adventure upon a seemingly hapless vessel

Heya! Comments make the game sound really cool! Was wondering if theres any chance you could drop an extra community copy? Am a uni student if that helps. No worries if not xx
Any more community copies? Reading the comments and your post and I'm sold.
Have fun. Go crazy!
Damn it. Missed it. Thanks anyway.
Me too.
Just buy it honestly, it’s worth it and you get to support a cool creator!
A+
Star Marauders!!!!! This shit goes hard; it develops the skirmish elements that make the basis of old school D&D's gameplay into a focus on fast paced, small unit tactics. The game includes all of the elements you need to play out of the box including a whole ass adventure. We watch and wonder what gourd_dwarf will do next...
I saw a Star Marauder shoot up the menagerie in Whiteplume Mountain.
Got to help playtest this and it’s the blend of a skirmmish wargame and dungeon crawler people have been trying to make for decades. It’s brutal, focused, and screams into a cacophony of violence when guns come out. gourd_dwarf is a sicko and made a game to delight those of us who would rather stack the bodies of our enemies than try and make friends. The universe is fucked. Get out there and make some fucking money Marauder.
goated equipment list i entirely ignored to go awooooga at the Booster Pack - Rocket & Skates Propulsion System. if you've ever wanted to be Brunhilde Bugs Bunny this game is for you which means it's probably for everyone
