Tourist RPG

Psavrosth was once the jewel of the sector, the capital world of the Samanis League. Its surface was covered with great cities of towering glass spires and chrome skyscrapers. Its people lived in comfort and wealth only dreamed of by those on the sector's fringes. But, that was before the war. 

Many worlds were left in ruin by the Tetri invasion, but none more than Psavrosth. Alien bioweapons leveled cities and poisoned the very air. Now, decades later, the Tetri are gone, but few of Psavrosth’s people remain, hiding in underground shelters and distant settlements. The world’s once great cities are home only to the dead, and whatever horrors the Tetri left behind. The viscount dwells in orbit, clinging to the delusion that the Samanis League still lives and has any real authority over the world.

Psavrosth's true rulers are the “Tourists”: offworlders that flocked to the world in search of riches; scavengers, mercenaries, and opportunists seeking to salvage what they could from its dead husk. Tetri bioweapons, old League tech, military equipment, even scrap metal and power cells; there's a fortune to be made for anyone foolish enough to try to claim it.

Tourist is a science fiction tabletop RPG created for the Minimalist TTRPG Jam, inspired by the STALKER game series by GSC Game World and Stars Without Number by Kevin Crawford.

The game is playable, but far from finished. I am continuing to work on the game to add in missing content, correct any errors that might've slipped through, and revise the rules as needed. Feel free to check out the Psavrosth Diary update posts to follow along with the game's development.

If you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions, please let me know!
