Welcome Fellow travelers.

Sea of Stars Galactic Role Playing is an independently produced science fiction tabletop role playing game. Unlike RPGs you may have played or may be familiar with, Sea of Stars Galactic Role Playing is a skill based system. There are no classes. No preset determination of skills and abilities for a character. As your character progresses you choose your path by acquiring and improving skills and other attributes.

Set roughly 200 Earth years into the future, it provides a wide and deep sandbox for any type of adventure you can think of and want to play in. In the setting of Sea of Stars Galactic Role Playing, Humanity has been a part of the Galactic Republic of Civilizations (GRC) for almost 150 Galactic Years (about 166 Earth Years). Currently within the GRC there are no major military actions. Sure there are those who still murder, use violence, and all manner of policing actions, but as much as any large government can claim, the GRC is at peace.

The GRC consists of seven core civilizations of which Humanity is one.  Humanity and its culture has become a multi-planet, and multi-system species. However, as in most RPGs, you will not be restricted to playing only Humans. All seven core species are available when creating an Identity (this is what we call characters).

Speaking of creating Identities, this is one of the unique aspects of Sea of Stars Galactic Role Playing. When designing the game we noticed that one of the problems with traditional character generation was that the process of creating a persona to play didn’t also make the character feel connected to the setting they were playing in. To solve this we created the Identity System.

In the Identity system you take your Identity through phases of their life – species, childhood, young adult, and careers. In each phase you choose a life path for your Identity. These life paths provide attributes, qualities, skills, and/or other mechanics. They also provide an outline of a backstory and a connection to the galaxy they will be inhabiting. If you choose to roll on our Random Event Tables, the backstory will only grow as will the Identity’s connection to the Galaxy.
