WELCOME TO CAVERNAUTS INC., MINER. Few others bother to dig on this alien-ridden hellhole of a planet, but that won't make your job here easy - far from it, in fact. So strap in, and get used to your tools and weapons if you hope to get back to the station in one piece and claim your paycheck.
Inspired primarily by the video game Deep Rock Galactic by Ghost Ship Games and based on the 24XX system by Jason Tocci, 24XX CAVERNAUTS is a tabletop RPG in which you take on the role of blue-collar dwarves, kobolds, goblins, ant-people and industrial androids in employ of the titular mining corporation, and descend into the uncharted depths of an alien world filled with deadly flora and fauna in search of mineral riches to extract and bring back to your space station in orbit.
Explore the vast subterranean complexes of this strange planet, ranging from underground deserts and fungal forests to ancient ruins and the guts of some horrible gargantuan creature. Use a variety of tools to get from place to place, ranging from trusty pickaxes and mining drills to jetpacks and platform guns.
Get into fights with the planet's local alien swarms, rampaging elementals from other planes of existence, and even rival mining teams, using a variety of weapons at your disposal (which you can upgrade too!).
And when you make it back, have a bit of a breather and chill out with your fellow coworkers aboard the space station (and possibly get into some hijinks there as well), before hopping back into the drop pod for another mission.
