What is Starport?
A real roleplaying game, built for kids from the first page.
Made for ages 4 to 12
Kids play heroes who explore Starport, help its odd and wonderful citizens, and make friends with creatures. Little ones can play right alongside older siblings.
No fighting. No hit points.
Problems are solved with clever ideas, jokes and kindness. A grumpy troll is beaten by making it laugh, not by a sword.
A grown-up can run it tonight
One rule covers almost everything. The first adventure teaches the game while you play.
How a turn works
Say what you do. Roll a d20. Beat the number.
A Player describes an action. “I tiptoe past the sleeping dragon.”
The Guide picks a trait and a number. Sneaky, 15.
Roll and add tokens. Meet or beat the number and it works. Spending your tokens wisely is the game.
Four kinds of tokens
The Difficulty ladder
Straight from the rulebook. The Guide shares the number before you roll.
- 5
- 10
- 15
- 20
- 25

What's new in 2nd Edition
Same easy rules. A whole new Starport to explore.
2nd Edition works with the original game and all of its supplements, so nothing on your shelf goes to waste.
All-new creatures, pets and equipment
New friends to meet, new pets to bring along, and new gear to buy with Coins.
Three new adventures
Starting with The Living Library, where a shipment of books comes alive. It teaches the whole game as you play.
Step-by-step walkthroughs for Guides
Worked examples show exactly how to run a scene, so a first-time grown-up feels ready.
A brand-new look
New cover art and a fresh layout, keeping the Starport title families already know.
Tested at real tables
Playtested with more than 100 kids, ages 3 to 16, and the grown-ups who played with them.
Works with 1st Edition
Robotopia, Undercity and Yooli's Guide to the Starport Multiverse all still fit right in.
Dream it.
Build it. Play it.
Can't wait until spring? Kids press picture buttons to make their own creature, piece of equipment or pet, and get a real, playable Starport card with one-of-a-kind art. Every card is read aloud.

Good to know
When does the Kickstarter launch?
Spring 2027. Everyone on the list hears the date first.
What do I need to play?
The book, a 20-sided die (d20) for each Player, a pencil and a character sheet. Play with 1 to 6 kids plus one grown-up Guide. Three Players is the sweet spot.
How long is a game?
About 45 to 60 minutes per adventure, so it fits a weeknight.
Do I need the 1st Edition?
No. 2nd Edition is a complete game on its own. If you already own the 1st Edition and its supplements, they work with it.
What will you email me?
About one email a month: new creatures, art previews and behind-the-scenes news, then the launch date. You can unsubscribe anytime.
