Nicholas Kory created the world of Astral Tides in 2015 with the release of Astral Tides: Rimward, the first in his space-opera saga about space pirates in the Han'Arai Galaxy. Since then, the world has grown to encompass sive different books and, most recently, the tabletop roleplaying game.
Nicholas Kory is devoted to bridging the gap between roleplaying and game mechanics, and Astral Tides: The Roleplaying Game goes to great lengths to follow-through on that devotion. Players should feel like they are a member of a larger crew, composed of their fellow player characters and important NPCs.
You can learn more about Astral Tides, and other products self-published by Nicholas Kory, from his website.
