RIMBOUND is a push-your-luck industrial RPG designed for solo play. 

You're an independent space hauler looking to earn some credits in the growing sprawl of space. With a contract in hand, you're rimbound. But before you can get that paycheck, you need to provide the goods.

You'll generate a star system, generate a cargo contract, and generate encounters to buy and sell goods (aka, the HAULCRAWL). Your goal is simple — finish the job on time, with as many credits in your pocket as possible.

RIMBOUND is a game of resource management as much as a game of chance. The only combat is with your calculator, your judgement, and your dice. 

For fans of: accounting, spreadsheets, random tables.

The short rulebook contains:

  • Lightweight ship and star system procedural generation
  • Cargo encounters and random encounters
  • Push-your-luck system for buying and selling goods, using d4 through d20
  • Cargo logging and capacity tracking

Downloads include:

  • Spread PDF for easy digital reading
  • Print-ready PDF for booklet printing
  • Play sheets — stat sheet, encounter log, mapping sheet
  • Quick table reference

A digital play sheet is available in Google Sheets for easier tracking.

Print copies available soon via Etsy.
