REACHSPAN
A downloadable game
"The Calamity's exact nature remains as a mystery but the Reach is no place to wander even for the bravest, that's for sure. Take care of your jump drive and use the undisturbed lanes to navigate, for the anomalies constantly disrupt the fractured galaxy."
Reachspan is a dynamic TTRPG about improvising a collaborative story in a futuristic sandbox setting
Spacemongers
Play as a crew of competent fighters and merchants who specialize in diverse skills. Travel the fractured galaxy while taking jobs, scavenging, trading, and hunting. With your unique ship and ardent eagerness voyage to the uncharted sectors to claim their secrets and riches, or stick to the familiar places and deal with the quests and bounties.
Versatile Rules
Build upon the narrative tags, utilize names and descriptions then specify the details yourself while playing. Flexible aspects and modular items will demonstrate your capability while giving options for roleplaying. Moxie points will allow you to interact with the game in fancy ways. Three stats covering various actions in two distinct styles will support different approaches, and the simple but powerful dice system will resolve any uncertainty and unexpected situation with enthusiasm.
Play to find out
Without almost any prep, embrace the emergent structure. Witness totally surprising events and plan the ways to deal with them.

You really got a lot of information onto one page, and it's still readable and well organized. Good job.
Thank you for your feedback, appreciated!
I'm def gonna suggest my friends to try this game. Great work!
Compact & Meaningful
Honestly speaking the game might seem a bit hard to get into at a glance because of how much information is given for an one page TTRPG. But you come to understand how everything works together really well, and played easily without tiring you out.
Running the game section also gives information for GM's in a way that it's like an adventure/story being told. Highly recommend the players also read that part at least once to simply get the concept of this game, and how the creator meant it to be played while making it (which i believe should help quite a lot to get the edge of the rope before playing).
A two-sided attribute system and moxie are very well utilized and fit perfectly for a one-page RPG
Oh my god, this is my jam! Found my love <33
