The hardback proof for Retro Sci-Fi Rules has arrived and looks fabulous. However, I’ve updated all of the forms inside (character, ship and system).

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/387318/No-Day-To-Die

No Day To Die is a solo roleplaying game inspired by the greatest series of spy movies ever made. A single player assumes the role of a British government secret agent and then plays out a various high-stakes spy missions in exotic locations around the world. All that is required is a notebook, a pen or pencil, a single deck of regular playing cards, and imagination.

Using an innovative scene resolution mechanic, the game does not rely on verb-noun tables or continual use of yes-no questioning. The plot builds organically to a climax, punctuated by fights, chases, romantic encounters and attempts on your life.

Fights and chases are both played out using a hand of cards from which the player chooses his moves and attacks in a dynamic, exciting and ever-changing game.

Create your agent, draw a card and embark on a globe-trotting mission to save the world.

You need a set of hacking rules for your futuristic RPG setting.

HACKER is system-neutral – a fast and unobtrusive set of cyberspace rules that recreates the colour and danger of a classic cyberpunk ‘consensual hallucination’. In the words of William Gibson, it is a ‘graphic representation of data … lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. You’ll need your normal clutch of dice for the RPG you are intended to use, but you’ll also need a pack of standard playing cards. Leave out the Jokers, though, we’ve got no time for those …

Great as the basis for a solo game. Just pair it with the cyberpunk rules of your choice ...

NEW!! Hostile Situation Report 008 Life Cycle (free)
The colonel wants your infantry team to drop into the depths of an alien jungle, avoid enemy patrols, meet up with commandos returning from a long range patrol, and es**rt them back the pick up zone. Just a routine mission, right?

But the commandos aren't too happy about being led by the PCs. The enemy seem to all around them. There is a mysterious scientist accompanying the commandos. And a couple of those guys don't look very well, at all. It's not so routine, now, is it?

Medusa. A jungle world ripe for exploitation. Its gigantic prism trees have colourful irridescent pigments within the woodgrain. This is a world of loggers, pushed by Tharsis Corporation to move farther out, to bigger and more valuable trees. But the jungle is dangerous, spores are toxic to humans, and the face masks sometimes don't do their job. Everyone knows someone who went crazy in the field, in his truck, on R&R.

Clone workers have been brought in to help keep up production. They are immune to the spores - the local colonists feel their livelihoods are threatened.

And why are the Marines on Medusa? What are they up to in that secretive jungle camp they've established near the south pole?

Medusa is a deadly forest moon, shrouded in secrets and lies.

A supplement for the Hostile RPG and Cepheus Engine.
