But beware - lest your head be turned by seduction, poisoned by distrust, swindled out of something important or taunted into an irrational act! There are many ways that adventurers can achieve their objectives, including manipulating their friends and allies should the need arise. To support this atmosphere, the game treats social conflict - the ability to alter someones emotions and thinking - just as importantly as the more traditional kinds of conflict of fist and gun. It isn’t exactly like any of those, but the fingerprints are there, and it is easy to run adventures which are drawn from any of those settings within the world of Starguild.Īll this is underlaid with the essential noir setting details – cynical, ambitious, cruel with dark undertones of emotional blackmail, sex and betrayal. The game setting has been influenced by the high action space opera of Star Wars, by the competing diplomatic regimes of Babylon 5, by the grittiness of Firefly frontier worlds and by the underlying horror of the Cthulhu mythos for those who wish to draw in genuinely inimical aliens. Explore dangerous jungles on the frontier worlds or engage as high tech mercenaries on future battlefields. Match wits and passion in high society or creep through ganglands in derelict cities. Be brave naval officers or devious smugglers.

Starguild is Space Opera Noir, where futuristic weapons and faster than light travel meet heartbreak, decadence and betrayal.
