HardNova II Revised & Expanded: Space Action Roleplaying

A science-fiction roleplaying game set in a future of interstellar alliances, alien civilizations, space pirates, and frontier exploration. Players create characters or use ready-made templates to smuggle exotic goods, investigate mysteries aboard space liners, uncover conspiracies, and explore unfamiliar worlds. The rules are designed for quick play, with a light system that avoids extensive tables and lengthy character creation. The setting supports custom campaigns as well as scenarios involving humanity’s alien allies and rivals, while the flexible rules can also be adapted to other space-opera settings. This expanded edition combines the core game, enhancement packs, a campaign miniseries, an alien species supplement, and additional content.
