Yet another Kickstarter. I bought in at the $30 level, which meant physical hardcover, pdf, a softcover journal, and an audio cassette soundtrack, in addition to any stretch goals. I was also sent an ‘at cost’ link so I have a softcover version of the book as well. Prices as of 9/10/2026: pdf $14.99/softcover $34.99/hardcover $39.99/combos show same price as just the book.
Cyanstarlight is a solo RPG that can be adapted to a GM-less game. You will need your standard polyhedrals to play. The gist of the game is as far as you know, humanity is dead. You woke up from stasis and comms channels are silent. Your job is to see if humanity is gone or not. Alan Bahr wrote the game, as he says in the author’s note, about his bipolar disorder. There are 6 attributes, including: Bash, Dash, and Shoot. There are 6 Packages, or character classes that determine your attributes from d4 to d10. A ship gets made following the same basic order. There area lot of tables for everything under the sun, from complications and risk to flight, site, and loot.
To play, there are 4 Protocols: Flight, Scan, Disembark, and Planet side. Roll the appropriate dice on the appropriate table and decide what you want to do. I’ve played it a bit and it’s pretty intuitive. There’s not much of a learning curve, so after the second or third planet you go to, it becomes old hat.
