Rig Bastards

Rig Bastards is a system-agnostic TTRPG module.

On the desolated planet of Vemar, the sea occupies almost all the available surfaces. Its landscape is dotted by gigantic mining rigs, which are inhabited by inmates of the penal colonies and desperate people. You needed to deliver only a datacard to the warden of a prison rig, but a pulsar has destroyed the new experimental equipment built to extract energy from the stellar phenomenon. The prisoners are free, and you need to escape fast.

This module features an ASCII map and art, casual encounters and stating situation generators, and brief enemy descriptions. You can introduce aliens, energy weapons, exoskeletons, hacking, and other sci-fi elements as you will to complement the setting. Everything is contained in a standard pamphlet, supplied in two different versions: colored and printer-friendly. The module is perfect for one-shot adventures and to be introduced in a campaign as a short quest.

Made for the Sci-Fi One-Shot Jam 2024.
