Most of the action will be on spaceships, space stations or asteroid colonies. (Caveat: like most ‘hard’ SF, this means the authors put thought into the physics, astronomy and engineering – and if you are lucky also the chemistry and geology – but they just made handwavy bollocks up or grabbed some dubious trope from the 1930s whenever they talked about biology).įor those not familiar with The Expanse franchise, Earth and Mars are superpowers corporations from both those nations have a lot of clout and get up to illegal and immoral things in the name of profit and there is constant turmoil, gang warfare and sometimes outright rebellion amongst the downtrodden people of the asteroid belt and outer planets (the Belters). So it was pretty much a given I was going to fund the Kickstarter for the RPG. It is near future, hard science fiction which is a sub-genre I like. I like the Expanse books and I like the TV series.
