Robots

Robots as Player Characters. (Pretty similar to Crawling Under A Broken Moon/Umerican Survival Guide, and you could use those if you want to instead or in addition. Space Crawl doesn’t use the impervious armor/armor die mechanic from CUBM.) Level Attack Bonus Know Die Critical Action Dice Ref Fort Will 1 +0 1d3 1d6/II 1d20 +1 +1 […]

Enlisted and NCO Ranks

Here are the ranks for Enlisted and NCO for the various services that have them. Note that these don’t include any technical ranks (as the officers ranks don’t include warrant officers). Maybe if I run a campaign where the characters are in active service I’ll get around to adding them. The new rule is that […]

Steps to Create a Character

Collecting the steps to create a new Space Crawl character for easy reference. Roll 3d6 in order, as Space-Crom intended, for Strength, Agility, Stamina, Personality, Intelligence, and Luck.

Career Experiences

During the character’s term of enlistment, the character gains life experiences that serve as further background, allowing a d20 skill roll instead of d10 when it can be justified as being something the character would have become skilled at due to the background. (This is standard DCC way of handling “skills”). Roll once on the […]

Careers

During character creation, you may attempt to join a service (or get drafted if you fail), see if you survive, get commissioned or promoted, gain skills and training, and then optionally reenlist. Each term of enlistment is four years. At the end of all your terms you muster out, still as a 0-level character, unless […]
