ASTRO-CORP CONGLOMERATE - Talent Acquisition Division
SUBJECT: Invitation to Participate in a High-Risk, High-Reward Operational Trial Greetings, Asset. Your profile has been flagged by our predictive algorithms as having a high potential for profitability in a hazardous operational environment. As such, you are officially invited to a one-time, high-stakes contract to test a new operational framework. Welcome to the beta test for Astro World . Astro World is a darkly humorous sci-fi TTRPG where your greatest enemy isn't an alien monster, but your own crippling debt. In a galaxy where clones are cheap and everything has a price, can you survive the grind of cosmic capitalism, or will your Unit be liquidated? We are looking for 3-4 enterprising operators to test the limits of this new system in a Session Zero this Saturday. Key Features & Selling Points: A World of Corporate Dystopia: Immerse yourself in a satirical, retro-futuristic universe inspired by Fallout , The Outer Worlds , and Blade Runner , where dying is just a business expense and your credit score is more important than your hit points. Product-Based Dice System: Your skills are important, but it's the quality of your gear that determines the dice you roll. A "Junked" pistol rolls a d6; a "Masterwork" rifle rolls 2d12. But be careful—on a critical failure, your expensive products can glitch, break, and even downgrade in quality, forcing you to claim your corporate warranty. Tactical "Tri-Attack" Combat: Combat is more than just a race to zero health. Attack an enemy's Products to shatter their Drive (morale), use suppressing fire and intimidation to overwhelm their Stress (burnout), or just go for the body ( Health ). A savvy operator knows that a bankrupt enemy is more profitable than a dead one. The Gameplay Loop: Experience the relentless cycle of life in the Belt. Take on a high-stakes Hustle to earn your Astros, enjoy a brief Splurge to recover, face the narrative consequences in The Comedown , and brace for the crushing bills of The Upkeep . What We're Looking For: We are looking for players who enjoy narrative-driven games, dark humor, and tactical decision-making. As this is a playtest for a brand-new system, a collaborative spirit and patience are a must. Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping the future of this game. No prior system knowledge is required! Game Details: Game: Astro World Date: Saturday (Time to be determined based on player availability) Platform: Roll20 for the tabletop, Discord for voice. Player Slots: 3-4 operators needed. Call to Action If you're ready to sign the contract, take on a mountain of debt, and see if you can turn a profit in the most ruthless economy in the galaxy, then we want you.
