From Introduction: Space Ryft is an adventure role-playing game where you play a character exploring the far reaches of the universe. Like other role-playing games, you create a character that you then become in a world of pure futuristic adventure. The rules here will help you get started on your own set of adventures in this vast universe. These rules use a very simple game play approach. They focus on story and role-playing out problems. In the spirit of classic role-playing games, these rules are meant to allow for faster play with little rules, tables, and charts to keep track of.
