ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Space tourism has become a big deal, especially for the rich and famous. Celebrities and billionaires pay exorbitant sums of money to be launched into space for a few hours for an unusual experience that few of their fellow humans have shared.

One of these tourism capsules, the FlyUp! has encountered trouble on its way up to Low Earth Orbit and was struck by space debris. With a damaged heat shield and life support systems, the passengers are running out of air with no way to return to earth. The players are tasked to rendezvous with the FlyUp! and rescue the passengers before its too late.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Pioneer is a near future science-fact RPG based on the popular Traveller rules.

Set 10–20 years from today's world, the Pioneer tabletop RPG provides players with a rounded framework to explore the inner solar system.

You will be the first to build a Moon base, the first to mine an asteroid, and the first to walk on the surface of Mars. Closer to Earth, you will conduct rescues in Low Earth Orbit, launch or repair important satellites, and conduct scientific experiments that boost our understanding of the universe.

If you are an avid fan of films and TV like Gravity, The Martian, or For All Mankind, this is the RPG for you!
