Featuring:
- All That Glitters by Tom Mecredy: All That Glitters adds a true sandbox experience to Orbital Blues' adventure roster, with a variety of Factions, NPCs and jobs for crews to engage with. Revolutionary workers are amassing arms to throw off their oppressive masters, and an ambitious pirate queen is looking to pull off an audacious bullion heist.

- Chega de Saudade by Giuliano Roverato: Visit Tradis station and discover the meaning of Saudade, know the plight of its workers, and be tempted by corporate money beyond their wildest dreams. Here, you can’t save everyone.
- A Starborn Resistance by Sinta Posadas: A collection of NPCs, character creation tools and adventures hooks that create a hub-world for your Outlaws to visit between adventures.
- Everjoy by Momatoes: A three-part dungeoncrawl-esque adventure which takes your Outlaws from the planet Melange, to the titular theme park with its lopsided attractions and strange hidden purpose.
See you, Space Cowboy!
ORBITAL BLUES is a lo-fi space western roleplaying game from SoulMuppet Publishing, written by Sam Sleney & Zachary Cox and illustrated by Josh Clark. A roleplaying love-letter to off-beat sci-fi, vintage music, and cooperative old-school styled roleplay, Orbital Blues allows you to play out rules-light adventures in the style of your favourite space westerns.
Stepping into the shoes of Interstellar Outlaws, players band together to form Crews, and navigate a hard-going, gig-economy living on the fringes of a space-faring society.
Developed on the critically acclaimed rules-lite system of Best Left Buried, Orbital Blues uses a simple D6 based system with 3 basic stats - MUSCLE, GRIT, and SAVVY - to handle rolls and uncertainty - putting the narrative and relationships of the player characters at the heart of play without the baggage of hefty mechanics, classes or roles.
The collection has been expanded to include a huge range of adventures, each one providing a unique perspective on the expansive Outlaw Galaxy.
