Reign of the Star Kings

Empires will rise and fall

The story of mankind's early, faltering steps into space have faded into legend.

Humans have now touched every corner of the galaxy. We constructed a network of politics and trade and culture that spanned thousands of light-years and trillions of individual lives.

Most of the galaxy now falls under the control of one of a handful of competing Empires, each with its own laws and traditions. Within each Empire, powerful family Houses control planets, or systems, or whole sectors of the galaxy. The leaders of these Houses are answerable only to their Emperor, who reigns supreme from the safety of the Homeworld.

Empires ebb and flow. They rise, flourish, do battle and compete with each other, and finally fall…but always another Empire will rise to take their place.

Reign of the Star Kings is a solo roleplaying game where you will chart the lives of Galactic Emperors and the history of the worlds they rule.

Using only two, six-sided dice, you will build the family tree of a fictional royal family. Record the challenges they faced and the decisions they made, and discover how those decisions impacted future generations.

A stand-alone sequel to the solo TTRPG Lineage: Epoch Edition, Reign of the Star Kings moves the action from a medieval setting to the distant future, as well as expanding possibilities with three times as many randomised events. Chart your Empire through its rise, golden age and eventual fall.
