ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
What starts out as a fairly simple job to find and recover the wayward son of a wealthy corporate family gets complicated when the crew’s target is involved with a powerful crime-lord, and looking for his own way out of an unpleasant situation...one that doesn’t involve returning to his family.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
The Expanse RPG is based on the exciting new Modern AGE rules-set, and includes many of its features, such as customized character building using Backgrounds and Professions, Drives for character engagement, and an abstract resources system. It also makes use of the Modern AGE approach to action, exploration, and social encounters, complete with stunts and systems for all of them.
