The Frontier 2nd Edition Lite

A science-fiction tabletop roleplaying game inspired by shooter-looter video games. Players create characters, explore alien ruins on a post-apocalyptic world, battle hostile creatures, and collect weapons, armor, and other randomly generated loot. The game uses a straightforward d20-based system with old-school sensibilities, expanded character customization, additional enemies, and extensive guidance for running campaigns. An introductory scenario provides a starting point, while the setting can be replaced with a setting of the group’s own design. This Lite Edition supports character progression up to 3rd level.
