Aventures Astronautiques Vol. 2: retro-futuristic space piracy chronicles by Julien Pirou
Created by designer Julien Pirou for his retro-futuristic sci-fi roleplaying game La Bannière de la Liberté, the Aventures Astronautiques Vol. 2 sourcebook chronicles the high-stakes exploits of season two from the Empyreal Media Productions live series. Set in the year 12933 across a volatile Solar System paying homage to Captain Harlock and the classic works of Leiji Matsumoto, this supplement embraces a dieselpunk aesthetic where romantic space corsairs resist autocratic empires and corporate syndicates. Built for direct play using the Moteur 3d dice engine, this space adventure sourcebook features:
- A complete collection of ready-to-run adventures and regional gazetteers expanding the official campaign.
- In-depth exploration of the asteroid belt, detailing the Nausicaa asteroid colonies and the Republic of Vesta.
- Technical ship deck plans and naval profiles for iconic vessels including the Tropical Romance.
