Rimward

In a rash of May 4 fever, I’ve started work on a Star Wars-inspired Cairn hack that I’m calling Rimward.

My major design goal is to bring some of my favorite features of Edge of the Empire (the debt-based gameplay loop and the space combat mechanics) into a lighter and grittier system. Cairn is my current favorite for that type of play, which is why I’m basing the game on that.

It is currently a light re-skin of Cairn with minor changes to character creation, a new debt mechanic, and spacefaring mechanics. But, I expect it may change more as it develops through playtesting.

Any feedback on the game is welcome.
