Star Crawl Basic

Still working on things, as time and employment and life permits.  As I get words on page, a voice starts to emerge, just to give a sample:

CREATING A CHARACTER Listen up you primitive screw-heads!  My designation is Drill-Kommisar Zim, but as far you xombies are concerned, my first name is 'Drill' and my last name 'Kommisar'.  You’ve taken the first step on the big-damn adventure your lying recruiters sold you, void-dogs, but you are all still 0th level humanoids to me! Don’t despair maggots, because you WILL graduate to 1st level when you decant your first character from the spawning tank and progress, or you WILL die messily trying! To create a character, follow the twelve step program below, that is, if you degenerate space-monkeys can count that high:

I'm considering splitting the project into a rules-set, 'Star Crawl Basic' and a setting gazetteer, 'Star Crusades Chronicle'.  Obviously, if I don't go mad before then, at some point this would be followed up with 'Star Crawl Expanded' or something like that.

Anyway how about some pics.  Humanoids, also known as 'demi-humans' are the human-related peoples hailing from Valinor Space.  Just how and why the Humanoids and Humans are so closely related so as to be able to breed amongst themselves remains a mystery, some radical scholars suggest that this relation points to common origins lost to the mists of time.

A Khazadi Vault Guardian and his retainers.  Khazadi are vanishingly rare outside of their high gravity fortress vaults, buried under mountains, but occasionally, a young Vault Guardian may be seen progressing on his coming of age journey, unable to return home and take up his birthright without a 'fortune' recovered from the wilds. 

Hobbesling Footpads are prized by human-sphere mercenary groups as scouts, infiltrators, snipers, and expert light infantry.

Mandroid Exoframes are often confused for Human Cyborgs, which in general is good for most Mandroids, because if the common people understood Mandroids to be Noospheric Uploads of Human Minds living as Machine Spiritis in prosthetic bodies, angry mobs would ensue.

Aeldari Spellswords often serve as functional ambassadors for their kind in the human sphere as these outcasts often end up working as mercenaries and pirates.  No one said good ambassadors.
