Imperial Jupiter: A planet sourcebook for Rocket Age RPG

Created by Why Not Games

Jupiter, largest planet in the Solar System, has finally been detailed for the Rocket Age RPG. As a setting book, Imperial Jupiter offers the detail, iconic NPCs, and story hooks you would expect from a Rocket Age product.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

We Have Lift Off!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 11:49:34 PM

Funded, all stretch goals unlocked, the rocket has left the pad!

A huge thanks to all our backers and supporters. This was our first kickstarter and to be honest we were rather worried. With your help we have made it!

What comes next?

-Once Kickstarter has released the funds to us we will send out a backer survey. You will be able to claim your rewards and add-ons, as well as enter your shipping information.

-Beginning on September 7, we will post a weekly update on the project's progress. This will include art previews, sample text, and sample layout, as warranted.

-This coming weekend, August 31-September 2, we will be at ISUCon in Terre Haute, Indiana running games, selling books, and time permitting playing in a game or two. Odds are very good our son will challenge us to a round or two in the foam sword arena.

Again thank you, we have reached all of our expectations and more with this project.

Amalthea Unlocked!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 12:59:19 PM

We have safely passed Amalthea and it will be added to the pdf and print of Imperial Jupiter!

Thanks to everyone for getting us here. We are moved by the support we have received from our fans!

Now, let's ride this rocket to the finish line!

Metis Unlocked!
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 09:58:33 PM

We just passed the threshold and the moon Metis will be added to Imperial Jupiter in both print and pdf!

This also means we are $1000 over the funded level! Thanks to everyone who has backed and supported us.

Let's push this rocket as far as it will go, $500 to Amalthea and less than 24 hours to go!

Correction- Amalthea at $4250
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 04:08:31 PM

The last update incorrectly listed the Amalthea stretch goal. 

At $4250 we will add the moon Amalthea to Imperial Jupiter in both print and pdf.

We are about $100 from Metis, so let's put some more radium through the drives, shove that throttle to the max, and rocket ahead!

Callisto Unlocked, Metis Dead Ahead, and Amalthea Preview
over 5 years ago – Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 11:40:18 PM

Thanks to all of our backers and supporters the Callisto chapter has been unlocked and added to the pdf and print versions of Imperial Jupiter!

At $3750 we will add the Metis chapter. As it stands we are a little over $300 from Metis. 

After we pass Metis we head on to Amalthea, hopefully reaching $4750 by the end of the project. The Amalthea chapter will include:

-The bizarre experiments the Europans are conducting on this red tinted icy moonlet

- The impact crater Pan and the Erisian wreck that lies 8 km down its icy gorge.

- The Gaea crater that nearly punches through the moonlet and the vessel that caused it.

-The source and target of the signal that beams out from Amalthea towards Neptune. Who is sending the message and who is listening?

 -Along with all of this will be added new Erisian artifacts to the Equipment chapter and two new creatures to the Ecology section, but these creatures are not from the Jovian moons or the gas giant itself, but a planet further from the sun…
