(Kickstarter) #ZineMonth2020 - Orbiters Local 519

 #ZineQuest,  #ZineMonth2020, #ZiMo2020, no matter how you hashtag it, should be a release of cool trendy little games... and a million iterations of trendy little games.

In Orbiters Local 519, you're part of a scavenger crew about disassembling derelict starships, it focuses of dungeoncrawling (in space), and focuses on the dangers, the "instabilities" of the ship.  

I may have an interest in this game... because I've already pledged five years ago to a Kickstarter for Scavengers, a game where you're a team of scavengers disassembling derelict starships and debris from an intergalactic war.  Instead of instabilities, PCs get into more and more situations were everything could turn sideways in a heartbeat.    The Travis Hanson art lets off a completely different vibe, but we officially have a new genre:  The all-out Space Scavengers. 

MetalWeave Games, the publishers of Scavengers, is still in business and the rules are still available in pdf and print on demand, but a fresh look at the theme and print & pdf for only $12, it's definitely worth a look.  The only drawback I see is that they have scheduled delivery of a product for February... of next year.
