2400: Cosmic Highway $2.00

2400: Cosmic Highway: $2.00
Publisher: Pretendo

You’ve got a ship. You’ve got a crew. Now you need the credits to keep em flying. Salvage, smuggle, shoot, or speed your way to your next payday. Come on—let’s go space truckin.

Cosmic Highway is a super-slim, self-contained, lo-fi sci-fi RPG about space truckers trying to keep their rust bucket flying. It's inspired by series like Firefly and The Expanse, and built with the same rules as the free 24XX SRD. It's 3 pages and a cover, fitting on two sides of a letter-sized page.

What is 2400? 2400 is lo-fi sci-fi. It’s centuries in the future, and it’s a decades-old modem that screams like a dying robot when it connects to the net. It’s a space ship with an FTL drive, artificial gravity, and a flickering display you gotta tap a few times to see the jump coordinates. It’s hacking something together with whatever cheap materials you have on hand, ignoring the rules until you need them, banging out something that might not sound finished, but definitely sounds fun. It's a series of micro RPGs that might all be in the same setting, unless they aren't.
