Holdfast: Station

Hard Sci-Fi RPG

“We’re all going to make it off this rock someday – until then, we’re all in this together.”

Holdfast Station is a role-playing game in which you play characters in a grim, blue-collar community working and surviving on an asteroid mine in the far reaches of space. Play alternates between Events – moments of high drama, calamity and risk – and Cycles, when the community rebuilds and fortifies against future peril.

Holdfast Station is an innovative PbtA-based system that’s quick to set-up and play, with alternatively descriptive Tags and world building questions making session zero quick and set’s the tone of the game. Getting in is easy; getting out isn’t.

Play as a one-shot to save the day, or as a campaign to see your Holdfast thrive, survive or die.

My Approach & Values

There are a lot of problems  in the world. “Shouldn’t you do something more serious than making games?” This is a question I’ve heard more than a few times. Growing up, playing games with my family were times we had real joy in my childhood home. In college I was introduced to role playing games and I saw people choose to engage in community also find joy.

Poet, Toi Derricotte wrote ‘Joy is an act of resistance.” I make games to build community, inspire joy and help everyone feel included.  Is that serious enough for you? Have fun. 

My Goal

  • Games that are inclusive
  • Games that are fun the first time and better the next
  • Games that are memorable
  • Games that are easy to learn
  • Games that serve a wider audience.
