Laser-Ritter ASHCAN EDITION
A downloadable ashcan game
Laser-Ritter is an analog adventure game about swashbuckling heroes journeying among endless stars to embrace their destiny. There are rendezvous in hazy tap rooms, chases across distant moons, and showdowns with the forces of galactic evil. We play to find out how our Laser-Ritters follow their passions and face their pasts to triumph over adversity.
Create Your Own Galaxy of Adventure!
Laser-Ritter gives space for you to create your own saga. There's no burdensome timeline of canon events or overwhelming lists of characters, spaceships, and alien species to be contradicted. Every group begins their saga by creating their own dramatic title crawl to establish what's happening when the adventure begins!
Easy Rules with Space for Kit-Bashing
Laser-Ritter uses a simple system designed to be familiar to old hands while welcoming to new players. It's kept lean to give space for each group to make their own rulings and modifications to suit their needs and preferences. The ample margins of the document give you space to annotate right in the book!
