[explorers]

[explorers] is a SciFi tabletop roleplaying game in which the players explore various planets, reporting back to HQ eventually.

The game has wonderful, very streamlined rules. It is found in print at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/p....

The system has a nice setting with just enough details to get you into the world, streamlined, simple rules that make playing a pleasure, and a unique handling system for equipment:

Since in the setting of the game equipment is standardized, you don't write it down on your character sheet.

Developing this game and playtesting it for two years was a great experience, and learning the skills necessary to make a printed book and printed playing cards was a new challenge for me.
