KOSMOS

A Fast Sci-Fantasy RPG of Blades, Blasters, and Mystic Power

A fast sci-fantasy tabletop RPG where you survive dangerous worlds, fight alien threats, and carve your legend among the stars.

All you need is 2d6, paper, and a crew ready for trouble.

What is KOSMOS?

KOSMOS is a rules-light sci-fantasy RPG built for fast, cinematic play.

You take on the role of a capable individual — mercenary, mystic, hunter, bot, or alien - trying to survive and shape your place in a hostile cosmos.

No heavy rules. No long prep.
Just action, danger, and meaningful choices.

Core Features

  • Fast, player-facing 2d6 system
  • Archetype-based characters that define how you play
  • Species that shape your instincts and identity
  • Quick character creation (play in minutes)
  • Talents that customize your playstyle
  • Mystic powers fueled by willpower
  • Brutal, decisive combat
  • Simple Usage & Consume system for gear
  • Flexible credit-based economy
  • Aliens, raiders, machines, and cosmic threats

Character Creation (Fast & Flexible)

Create your character in minutes:

  • Assign your Abilities
  • Choose your Species
  • Pick an Archetype (how you survive danger)
  • Select 3 Talents
  • Optionally gain Mystic Powers
  • Grab your gear and go 

Every character follows the same structure — simple, flexible, and fast.

  • Hunt alien creatures across hostile worlds
  • Explore abandoned stations and ruins

Tone & Playstyle

It’s fast, dangerous, and flexible — built to let stories emerge naturally at the table.

  • GMs who run on rulings, not rules
  • Fans of sci-fi, aliens, and weird worlds
  • Anyone tired of heavy, complex systems

Promising but unfortunately without any space ship or vehicle combat rules.

The rules of vehicle, mecha, and starship is done. I only need time to do the illustrations. I guess you guys have to wait for it.

So what's next for KOSMOS?
