Once I get an opportunity to write on it in one of the supplements, I'll have *very* similar things to write in NULL_SPACE to what I wrote here.

The powers that be are a lot of things at once. Megacorps are strictly-business and also sometimes very petty; full of competent, diligent workers and seat-warmers alike; so ungainly that their left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing, but can squash you like a bug anyway; owning a ton of internal resources and willing to call the cops in an instant to avoid using them. Smaller corps are all of that with fewer resources but more fanatical devotion. Organized crime is garish and brutal and engaged in all sorts of heinous activity, but they have more in common with you than either of you do with the corps/cops and they actually keep their word more often. Embrace the contradictions.

It's up! CASCADE_FAILURE; is the next Job released.

Cascade failure
The Job
Earth-Ganymede Transit Corporation (EGTC) has posted a job at your station: one of their freighters failed to check in. They're commissioning a free ship to go find it, find out what happened, and if possible recover the freighter itself.

Binary @binarystar.games · 09/02/2026

STAND_AND_DELIVER; is a pretty straightforward mercenary job: not too different than you'd see in a lot of games. CASCADE_FAILURE; is something very different. A ship went dead and you have to figure out why, get it to a safe port, or both. (Also every pamphlet has my isometric vector-art.)

if you give players a stack of dynamite, they're going to explode neopets. it's creating a possibility space where neopets end up painting the room (when all i wanted to do was paint the neopets)

Mechanically, the game uses my Total//Effect system: rolling involves using nearly every part of a 3d6 roll, both component dice and the Total.

6+4+1 =11, followed by the description High die = 6, Low Die = 1, Mid Die = 4, Total = 11

The solar system of the 24th Century has seen many advancements, to be sure; but one thing has never changed: the little guy is going to get squeezed for every drop of sweat. There are no replicators or laser swords here. It's just people, what they're willing to do, and the uncaring void.

NULL_SPACE is a hard sci-fi space game. You are freelancers in the solar system of the 24th century. Experience the faded glory of Earth, the industrial warrens of Mars, and the futuristic dystopias of Ganymede; but especially, try to survive in the no man’s land between it all, Null Space.

Welcome to the 24th Century.
Humanity is spreading across the solar system. The establishment of wormhole transit has enabled thriving, vibrant colonies to be established on Mars and Ganymede. Waypoint stations litter the space between those major colonies and beyond: the no man’s land known as Null Space.
But with every new frontier comes exploitation and denigration. Governments crumble in favor of corporate rule. The rich and powerful grow more rich, and more powerful. Stations must squeeze profit out of food, water, and even oxygen. Workers are sent to far-off mining colonies and refineries, for meager pay or as punishment for minor crimes.
You and your crew used to be some of those workers, but something changed for you. Maybe it was an accident, or maybe you were caught in political crossfire, or maybe it was just a lucky break – but legally, you’re not a person anymore. The corporation who owned your life failed you, then cast you aside. Now your life is as uncertain as the ownership of that vast expanse of space between planets: you’re now one of the disparate citizens of Null Space.

How does this work? After every job, you decide what to prioritize: list them out starting with what you want to happen least, with each taking slots on the list equal to value.

Then, the Narrator starts Looking for Trouble. Their Troubles are: the
standard 3V of Expenses, the 3V Liability for having a ship flagged as
stolen, and a 1V Favor from someone on Mars who once overlooked the
fact that it was stolen. Prioritizing Expenses over Liability over Favor,
their list looks like: 1-3: Expenses (standard supplies); 4-6: Liability (flagged as stolen); 7: Favor (Martian benefactor)
