Space is a vast, cold, and often empty expanse – but it does not have to be. For Gamemasters looking to inject some much-needed colour and life into their star-spanning campaigns, Jason Lutes and the team at Lampblack & Brimstone have arrived with a toolkit designed to populate the infinite. Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed fantasy generator The Perilous Wilds, this new collection focuses on the wonders and terrors of high-octane space opera.
Whether you are running a gritty industrial sci-fi game or a shimmering galactic epic, these tools are built to scale. From the grand design of star systems down to the specific technobabble used by a nervous engineer on a fringe outpost, this bundle provides the imaginative fuel to keep your engines running without the heavy lifting of manual preparation.
Perilous Collection – $7.95
For a single payment of $7.95, you receive $28 worth of high-quality, system-neutral content generation and setting tools to enhance your roleplaying games.
- The Perilous Void
- Holdfast Station
The centrepiece of this offer is The Perilous Void, a 168-page manual of procedural generation. Using a simple d10 and d100 system, you can create over a billion unique worlds, each with its own climate, gravity, and resources. Beyond mere geography, the book dives into the social fabric of the cosmos, offering tables for factions, sentient societies, and the specific motivations of the NPCs who inhabit them. It is an essential companion for any system-neutral GM who wants their galaxy to feel lived-in and reactive.
For those who prefer a more structured, high-stakes experience, Holdfast Station offers a standalone “pick up and play” roleplaying game. Set on a crumbling mining station at the edge of known space, it focuses on the desperate survival of a community rather than individual heroics. Drawing inspiration from the d6 pool mechanics of Blades in the Dark, it tasks players with managing scarce resources and weathering disasters in a style reminiscent of The Expanse or Battlestar Galactica. It is a perfect example of how a limited setting can provide infinite drama.
These tools are designed to work with your favourite systems, providing the flavour and mechanical prompts to keep the story moving forward. Whether you are building a sector from scratch or need a quick encounter for a session tonight, Lampblack & Brimstone’s “human-crafted” tables offer a level of detail that elevates the gaming experience for everyone at the table.
Secure these star-faring essentials before the jump window closes. This offer ends at midnight Pacific time on Thursday, 30 April. All files are provided as complete, DRM-free ebooks.
