How your story begins

Vesper Relay

You stand in the docking gallery of Vesper Relay, a station adrift in the uncharted Nacre Reach, where the stars beyond its narrow windows look cold enough to crack. You are Kaia, scout aboard the old ship Aurora, and a distress signal has drawn you here through a stretch of space with no traffic and no answers. The station’s outer lamps are dead; your suit radio catches only a thin hiss beneath the signal’s repeating pulse.

Your first move: tap one, or type your own.

No account, no card. Your first five turns start at once.

How it plays

Real dice

When it gets risky you throw a d20 yourself. The game shows what you need and what is at stake.

Danger that ticks

Threats grow as time passes and when you fail. When the clock is full, the consequence stays.

A world that remembers

Your items, money, wounds and the map are kept by the rules, not by the storyteller's memory.

People with a memory

Who trusts you, who owes you, whose patience runs out: it counts when you try to persuade them.
