Voidhaven Outpost (MicroRed version)

Voidhaven Outpost is a science fiction role-playing game inspired by Babylon 5, set entirely within a gargantuan space station at the edge of known space. The setting was originally conceived as a supplement for Wretched Space, a space opera sourcebook for the OSR game Wretched RPG. This standalone version has been adapted to use the MicroRed rules, a streamlined and condensed form of Red, an OSR-compatible system. While this book contains all the necessary mechanics to run a full game, the complete Red rule set is available free of charge in digital format at the Red Room store for those who desire additional information. Voidhaven Outpost draws from space opera tradition, it is not a hard science fiction game. It favors intrigue, action, and adventure within the confines of a vast and volatile station rather than interstellar travel.

At the Federation’s outer edge, Voidhaven Outpost looms, a vast station caught in a tug-of-war between control and disorder on the Outer Rim’s border. It’s a crossroads of peoples, plots, and rivalries, where every corridor and back passage holds a tale; every glance conceals a secret. Step into this starlit frontier, where the next twist could tear the threads of existence apart. On the Galactic Federation’s frontier, Voidhaven Outpost sways between control and collapse. This gargantuan station, once an ambitious leisure and entertainment venture, now strains under its role as a diplomatic centre for the Federation. Its aim to forge peace through commerce and culture buckles against a rotting core of corruption.

Voidhaven Outpost is a MicroRed game

MicroRed is a stripped-down take on the Red system. You don’t need to master the full Red rules to run it, however, MicroRed’s concise mechanics demand familiarity with OSR games. This system will be used to re-release Wretched settings. Expect compact books, packed with stock art and public domain visuals. Fewer pages mean lower costs for print-on-demand, making MicroRed titles more affordable if you decide to purchase them on Lulu.
