# Loner: Spacer tags: #game/rpg/loner-spacer ![[Loner - Spacer (cover).jpg|300]] **Loner: Spacer** is the lone-starfarer dial on **[[Loner]]** — a solo RPG about one person navigating the cosmos as trader, explorer, or outlaw. Same tag-based engine and Chance-vs-Risk oracle, now pointed at an open galaxy full of dangers and opportunities. Where **[[Loner - Galaxy Drifter|Galaxy Drifter]]** is about the wandering life and the search for passage, Spacer is a broader, more open-ended trip: open travel, character-driven exploration, and a ship to call your own. ## Setting The setting is a galaxy viewed through a single cockpit. Detailed here is more texture than map: character creation and traits, the details that round out a spacer, equipment and gear, the spaceship you design and customize, and the rules that keep a voyage honest. It leans into trader-and-explorer ambitions rather than a fixed conflict, so a career can be freelance hauling, bold discovery, or outright outlawry depending on where the Oracle and your conscience point you. ## Mechanics The core is the shared Loner Oracle — roll a Chance die against a Risk die for yes/no, read ties as "Yes, but…," tick the Twist Counter. Spacer wraps it in the open-cosmos loop: spacecraft design and customization give your ship personality, travel keeps the map turning over, and the tag-based career lets you drift between trader, explorer, and outlaw without a stats sheet demanding you pick. It's the most "blank check in space" of the sci-fi Loner dials, which is exactly the point of the whole line. ## Editions A single 2025 supplement (released April 2025). *In the library.* ## References - [Loner: Spacer - DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/518298/loner-spacer) - [Loner SRD (free full text) - Zotiquest Games](https://lonersrd.zotiquestgames.com/) - [Loner - Official Website](https://loner.zotiquestgames.com/)
