The players take on the role of scavengers aboard 'Jerusalem', one of the last vestiges of civilisation in a ruined galaxy. With little more than a shuttle and a couple of credits to equip themselves, they must venture out into the void. Gene abominations, cannibals, cults, cybernetic serial killers and other, more inscrutable horrors await them in dark-space.
The game is intended to bridge the gap between rules lite and a combat system more familiar to D&D style 5ft grid play.
It includes a ton of stuff in a small package such as:
- Rules on playing the game, including hiding from terrifying monsters, creating characters and scavenging
- Rules & Advice on running the game
- Setting information & lore
- Downtime activities and map of 'Salem
- Exciting example mission with full map & Monster stat blocks
