OSR Review & Commentary Faster Than Light: Nomad Companion For The Faster Than Light Rpg

 "One of the goals we had when releasing Faster Than Light: Nomad in 2024 was to present a complete, ready-to-play roleplaying game intended for quick pick-up play and low-effort preparation. This necessitated several design choices, and even more content choices. We had many ideas developing in our Stellagama lizard-brains, and keeping only the most useful and most directly applicable rules and ideas for Faster Than Light: Nomad became something of a challenge."

"As the game has been out for nearly a year, we have also received a great deal of feedback and suggestions from players and Referees alike. There were many requests for material that was missing from the FTL: Nomad rulebook that had been cut. There were also requests for things that we hadn’t even thought of. All good Referees know that the players will surprise you sometime. The same applies to our generous customers."
